The princess
Xena Winterchild never liked the prince of summerland, nor did she like people of the summerland.
All she ever wanted to be was free.
Free to roam the world, be heroine, saving people in distress, solving cases, and exploring new lands.
Only, every other person she ever met told her she is a princess, and one day, she must marry a good man and have little princes of her own.
Enroute to the summerland, the queen felt the wolves were far too much of a wild beast, so they must be sent away, or killed.
They were to release the pups behind the frontier, according to her father.
However, Xena did not want her Nysa to suffer in the cold, so she released the wolf into the rich forests of the kingdom of water.
Sasha, as stupid as ever, handed over her wolf obediently to the frontier guard, telling him to make sure to feed the wolf right.
Ah! Even animals must meet the right master for them to have an easy life.
