The gigantic grisly chieftain, wielding his huge razor-sharp iron mace, strode to meet Mairsil in one to one combat. She galloped across the sand with her sword held high in her right hand, and swept between his massive legs slicing open his left thigh. The grisly chieftain cried out and spun around as Mairsil turned her horse and galloped back towards him. In one horrific move he raised his deadly mace into the air and brought it down with all his might.
Mairsil the Warrior.
Her father had been a great friend of the Greenwood King before he was killed by a poison goblin dart. Mairsil can weild a sword with greater skill than any other human, and she drove the goblins back into the sea to save her home, the coastal village, Withyforge. Her horse was
bred by the elves and a gift to Mairsil from Edmund Tressach, the elf prince, who everyone believes Mairsil will marry one day.
