The Child grew up to be the supreme Queen of the western Continent. Eventually teaching the people long lost art of forging ores into exotic metal alloys, after she discovered some ancient texts dating back hundreds of thousands of years brought to her planet when it was first colonized.Bringing her people out of the very primitive beginnings of a Bronze age Her cunning inherited knowledge of father's warrior, advanced education and leadership skills coupled with the strength stamina and speed inherited from her sire enabled her to excel in every endeavor she undertook.
