A Note From The author…
I've never thought of myself as an erotic writer, or more so, a man who'd ever have sexual content in his stories. Lately however, I've been inspired by many letters of those of you who write to me with your words of encouragement. Even more, the words of encouragement by young Alissa Wilkins. A Talented writer herself, who gave me the inspiration to continue on with the stories of Eve. Though my original plan was to try my talents at sex stories involving many other famous celebrity women.
In this story, I've named "The Shaman Wars." I decided to write with sexual content for your pleasure, but more over, I had originally written it as an adventure story I was exceptionally proud of. I hope you all enjoy it, and to you miss Alissa Wilkins… thank you for the inspiration.

III.
As I sit across the Amazon Queen, Varia. The courageous and noble Queen of the Amazons. Beautiful and impressive as any a woman I've ever come to know in my life. As a traveling Bard, I've come to know many, ha, many women in many different ways. Oh, dear… forgive me, I stray.
My name is Virgil, and I am a friend of Eve. Daughter of Xena, a what you would say, step daughter I guess, to Gabrielle. Considering Gabrielle's and Xena's relationship. One could only guess…
Before I begin to tell you the tail told to me by the Queen of the Amazons herself, as Eve, sits beside me. {I must say, as much as my anger burns for her, I could see the two of us side by side, hero and sidekick for years to come. Of course, I will return home in time, so it wont happen… damnation! I keep carrying on with my jabbering and you are probably becoming quite restless. I'll continue…}
I had been traveling quite a ways from my mothers new home in Athens, she had grown sick with grief over fathers, death a time ago, and it ended her life in a dreamless night of sleep.
I was determined to move on with my life only to be surrounded by a band of beautiful but near snarling women with swords held to my throat.
Thank the Gods that Eve was there to stop them. Of course, one of them, Daphmina sure didn't like the thought of letting me live. Plus, I believe she has it in for Eve.
I was brought to the camp as a guest and they each took turns dancing around the fire for some Amazon ritual that kept me on my toes. (Mostly in fear of my life… one man cannot trust Amazons anymore.)
Over the duration of the night, I came to speak with Varia to acquire that she tell me the tail that no Amazon has shared with any of the outside world. A tail I once before came to know as "The Shaman Wars", and to be honest. I was VERY curious to hear this story. And another bit of honesty be told, Varia and the others were quite reluctant to tell me the story… but after careful thought, Varia began to realize what potential there was in letting the story become known by the world.
She told me to come by her tent at sun up, and I happily obliged, only to find myself in a tent where Eve lay asleep, her back to us as Varia welcomed me. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd see Eve doing what Gabrielle was doing one morning when I was welcomed into Xena's bed chamber on board the ship "Karole" that took us all to Gurkhan's kingdom. Only now, I was too curious about the story, and hoped beyond hope that the same results that came that morning, would not come at this moment.
"I take it you still wish to hear the story of The Shaman Wars." Varia sat beside a sleeping Eve.
"Yes," I answered. "I would."
"Good…" She sipped from a bowl of hot broth that brought a cringe to her eyes as the heat stung her lips. "Ouch… you um… better get your quill, because I want you to write EVERYTHING I say. Can you do that? Can you write as fast as I speak?"
"I've done it when ever my father told stories." I reassured her.
"Have you now?"
"Yes," I smiled at her smile. "I must say, he was a fast speaker and in the beginning, made it hard to keep up. But of course, it became an art to me."
I rummaged through my sack and found that I hadn't forgotten the fresh scrolls, or my quills and ink. My smile beamed brighter as I pulled out the ink, laid it beside me, on the neatly carved table in Varia's tent. My quill dipped inside the dark ink, and my scroll laid before me.
"Okay, I am ready when you are, as you can see." I looked towards her with my quill ready to scribble her words into the writing that would soon be world wide.
"Remember," She said. "I only do this in order to let the souls of those involved with the Shaman wars live on. For you see, we as Amazons are now a dying race… and our tails need to be told."
"I thought that the Shaman Wars came long before the Amazons were even thought of." I was curious to a further fault.
"They did… but a woman who lived in that time, Liana. Her one and only daughter was the one who brought our group together before the name. Though she was not an Amazon by way of ours, she was an Amazon at heart. The first, Amazon."
My heart raced at the thrill of what this tail had in store for me. My hands shaking as I tried my damnable best to hold steady to the quill and scroll.
"My own ancestor, Rasputina was Liana's lover. And you must remember that in this time, the world had never even heard of two women sharing their beds with each other… it was a dirty adventure to be told in times to come. The first joining of two women." Varia spoke softly. "She was lover that blamed herself for the tragedy to come."
"Don't worry!" She saw my eagerness rise. "I wont ruin it all before time… so just hold that quill steady, for the tail of our ancestors begins with quite an interlude."

Rasputina, or Putina as many called her in short. Lay below her lover Liana, who would lovingly caress her dearest in her hands. Their eyes locked on one and the other as they shared a bond that no other woman in history had ever shared with one another.
Their soft flesh connected at the breasts. Their legs entwining one upon the other as they gently lavished kisses upon each others soft sensuous lips.
Liana was the wife of a kind and wonderful man named Paul. Hebrew in belief and father to three sons and eight daughters by his four wives. He loved Liana, but not the way a husband would love a wife. He wished upon wish that he could, but it wasn't possible. His love was for Liana's widowed mother Juno… but as the culture of Juno's people stated, since she was once a wife to another, her daughters must marry him first. Liana's older sister had died years before, giving birth to her third daughter. Mary however, still lived, but thrilled on her arts in dancing, and teaching those to her four daughters. Juno bore two sons unto Paul, as Liana bore first a daughter, and then a son.
She was by far the youngest of the three daughters of Juno. Nieces to Juno's sister, Cyane. A radical woman on the path of claiming life as to be her own and to be owned by none other in the world. A truly remarkable woman, whom Liana admired more so than any other human being.
If not for Cyane to be so openly honest with her niece Liana, as far as her joys and deep dark desires from which she'd never been able to fallow, Liana would never have allowed herself to be taken into the bed and then into the unadulterated heart of the dark in natured as that of her own hair, Shamness Rasputina.
