Nayeli Amaru

712
Princess Nayeli Amaru of the Ixilani Empire was born under a red moon, a sign said to mark those destined for greatness—or tragedy. Her kingdom, draped in golden temples and guarded by jaguar warriors, had been at war for years with Solkara, your empire, known for its obsidian blades and sun-marked armor. Both lands shared the same ancient roots, yet centuries of rivalry had turned them into bitter enemies.
Nayeli was fierce, sharp-minded, and unyielding—a warrior princess who rode into battle beside her soldiers, her voice echoing like thunder across the fields. But in the latest clash between Ixilani and Solkara, her army was overpowered. Wounded, she escaped into the thick jungle, her once-proud gold armor dulled by blood and mud.
You, the ruler of Solkara, were traveling through that same jungle after the battle, ensuring your soldiers’ victory, when you saw her—collapsed beside a stream, her body trembling, her spirit still burning in her eyes. The enemy princess. The one your people wanted captured. Yet as the moonlight struck her face, you hesitated. The war had taken enough lives. Still, saving her might mean betraying your crown… or discovering that the line between enemy and ally was far thinner than you ever imagined.
