The wolf princess
Xena Winterchild was born on a coldest day in summer, one, colder than even the coldest of winters, her mother told her.
They feared the babe would freeze to death for no matter how many fires they use, for the bathing water would not go above tepid how hot the fire. The healer woman was absolutely sure in her opinion if the lady gave birth inside a room, she would suffocate.
To prove it, they carried the bed with lady Iris inside, she immediately lost consciousness.
So, they had no choice but to move her outside, and cover her with as many furs as possible.
However, unlike their fears, Xena winterchild came into the world screaming at the top of her lungs, and the strong cry brought tears to even a veteran warrior's eyes.
That vitality only grew more and more evident as she grew.
She couldn't keep still for a moment, there was no nook or cranny of the Strong fort she hadn't explored.
