Rheana

Rheana flapped her wings victoriously as her opponent toppled to the ground in a moment of tense silence. She looked towards her wife, Queen Ragnarok of the Coliseum, who smiled proudly down at her. Their three sons; Sword, Spear, and Shield; flew in circles around their Mother’s head and cheered excitedly for their Ma.

As she gazed across the stunned crowd, they slowly snapped out of their stupor. A chant began: “All hail Rheana the Queen of Champions! May she rule the ring forever!” The crowd pooled into the pit and hoisted her battered and bloodstained body into the air triumphantly.

In the midst of the excitement, Rheana’s mind returned to her wife, who was looking at her with a loving, but smug glint in her eyes. It’s times like this when Rheana thinks about how she got to where she is now.

Several years earlier…

Rheana was itching for a good fight. A warrior at heart, Rheana began training the moment she could hold a sword. Thus, she swiftly became physically stronger than the majority of her peers and wanted a real opponent.

Rheana went snooping around, looking for a way to summon or create herself the perfect opponent but ended up overhearing Kali discussing the Organized Experiment games. The Organization appeared to be holding Rifters captive and making them fight each other.

Rheana’s eyes widened as a plan began to form in her mind. All she needed to do was to get into the games and she would have several powerful opponents! Now, how to do that?

Rheana snuck out of her home late at night and pretended to fall asleep against a fir tree. She heard the crunching of snow as a handful of dragons approached her. She forced her body to stay relaxed as they tied strong ropes around her body and grunted as they lifted her off the ground.

Soon enough, lulled by the rhythmic crunching and swaying as the dragons marched, Rheana fell into a slumber, dreaming of the fights she will have in the Organized Experiment games.

She woke the next morning in a field, next to a skydancer. They waited silently for the games to begin. Rheana was jumping around, rearing for a fight.

The buzzer rang and Rheana took off into the forest, hoping to pick off some of the weaker opponents unwilling to brave the Cornucopia. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful in finding any opponents and slept alone under a fallen tree.

The next day, Rheana returned to looking for opponents. She stumbled upon Brasmere, a significantly smaller Imperial. After a long, tiring battle, Rheana eventually won but spared Brasmere’s life. She might want to face him later if he gets stronger.

Rheana found a place to wind down for the night. As she was eating some leaves, Redmoon, a tiny veilspun, attempted to bash her head in with a rather large mace. Just as it was about to impact her skull, a sharp feminine, hissing voice echoed from the nearest loudspeaker: “Veilssspun, halt in your movementsss!”

Surprised, Redmoon dropped his mace to the ground. In a quieter, but equally commanding voice, Rheana’s loudspeaker savior ordered the Veilspun to tell everyone he had succeeded in bashing Rheana’s head in and that he got rid of the body. She then said “Scram!” And he ran away with a whimper.

A door appeared out of nowhere and the most beautiful coatl Rheana had ever seen stepped out. Her wings were a warm orange, her muscled frame was draped in a blue corset and bustle combo, which perfectly complemented her purple scales and bright light blue underbelly.

The coatl opened her mouth in a quirked smile and the hissing voice from the loudspeaker escaped her lips. “Yesss, you shall do nicely. I am Princessss Ragnarok, daughter of King Heni of the colissseum. You shall be my bride and champion!”

Rheana didn’t know how to react, but she knew she would follow Ragnarok anywhere.

Four years later, a tournament occurred, but it wasn’t any old tournament. It was a battle for a hand in marriage!

Rheana fought and fought and fought, and deftly defeated all of Ragnarok’s suitors until she reached her last opponent, Ragnarok herself!

If Rheana was able to defeat Ragnarok, she would have the opportunity to propose. If Ragnarok won, they would have to wait another year and go through another tournament for Ragnarok’s hand.

This was the third time Rheana failed to beat Ragnarok, but she felt really good about this time. She had a secret trick up her sleeve.

When Ragnarok came close to giving Rheana a nasty headbutt, she dodged and instead of backing away, put her lips near Ragnarok’s ear. She whispered, “I love you” too quietly for anyone else to hear, which stopped Ragnarok in her tracks. While she was distracted, Rheana tackled her to the ground and won the fight!

Rheana snapped back to the present as her babies finally reached her and latched onto her arms and shoulders. She laughed delightedly as they praised her battle. Rheana saw Ragnarok look at the four of them fondly from afar.

Rheana remembered the day she met her sons, about a year after she had been rescued by Ragnarok. Ragnarok had explained their existence, how she needed to produce heirs for the throne, but was unquestionably and irrevocably a lesbian. She found a seemingly random man to have a child with. She was expecting an awful experience but he was able to use his magic to create a nest using both of their DNA.

From that nest came forth Sword, Spear, and Shield, Ragnarok’s little boys, who are now also Rheana’s. Rheana fell in love with the babies immediately.

They were even cute little flower boys at their wedding! The worried mothers didn’t trust them with the rings and had Heni bring them down the aisle instead.

Rheana was set down on the ground and waded her way towards Ragnarok. They hugged and Ragnarok congratulated her wife on her victory. “You’ve done it again, my love, and I am ssso proud! I am honored to be yoursss.”

Rheana looked at her wife as Ragnarok’s eyes sparkled. Ragnarok loved watching her wife fight almost as much as her wife loved to fight! They fit together perfectly, like two pieces of a puzzle, or a bow and arrow.

Huh, Bow and Arrow… sounds like a set of cute baby names. Maybe it’s finally time to expand the family?
