==Contents==
In the year that Azunai began his rebellion against Zaramoth, called also the Unmaker, a war maiden from Lescanza came down from the northern hills to fight in his army. Her name was Xeria, and in battle she was both skilled and fortunate.
Tales of her were told in many lands—it was said that the tide of any battle in which she fought would soon turn in her favor, that her enemies fell before her as wheat before the scythe, and that she had the courage of warriors who had seen many more battles than she. And she was known by men as Xeria the Valiant.
Xeria fought by Azunai's side, and together they slaughtered the armies of Zaramoth, and his Seck fled before their fury like recreants.
But the Seck did not win their battles through courage or skill. They used trickery and dark magic, and had the art of putting false thoughts into the minds of men—even the greatest of men... even Azunai.
So it was that Azunai the Defender became enamored of a southern maiden named Vesulia. She was the delight of his eyes, and he made to her many promises to be fulfilled when Zaramoth was defeated. And he gave to her Xeria's place in battle: by his side.
When Xeria saw that her place had been given to another, her heart became as stone within her breast. She fought with urgent determination, in the hope that Azunai would turn away Vesulia, and she killed even more followers of Zaramoth than before.
But Azunai could not see her deeds, for he was so overcome by the glamour of Vesulia that he no longer fought with skill, and he began to find defeat when before he had found only victory.
