User:Shianni/Ilona the Valiant

Long ago, before women's right's were created for any Legion or Country, there was one girl who dreamed of a world where women and men can fight beside each other in perfect equality. Her name...was Ilona Dallian, she was the daughter of a poor pawnbroker. named Sylis. She watched the warriors in the Arena for a very long time. Until finally, she was old enough to obtain her first sword from her father. At 19, she became very skilled in the way of the blade, but she was self-taught. Due to the fact noone would train her, because of her small physique, and gender. Ilona was furious, she trained for days and days. Out of hatred and spite. But at the same time, she plotted an idea as the days passed.... Ilona decided to wear a helmet to disquise her Identity, and wore Male Combatant Heavy Armor to hide her breasts. She was extremely successful in her attempts to fool a crowd into thinking her name was Winthrope and she was from Valenwood, she hardly spoke. But her skill gave the crowd endless joy.... But one day, a Man named Jervais Derran was competing in the Arena against Ilona, and lost. He was enfuriated at his loss and fired an arrow straight to her helmet, and removing it. As the helmet was removed, it let out her long hair that was in a Ponytail. The crowd went silent, their hero...was a Woman. Then...Ilona said a few words that changed the History of Nirn. She spoke these words; "GOOD PEOPLE OF THE IMPERIAL CITY, MY NAME IS ILONA DALLIAN, AND I AM A WOMAN! AND EVEN MORE, A BOSMER. BUT OVER THE YEARS OF MY TRIUMPH, DID YOU NOT CHEER? DID YOU NOT ADMIRE MY TECHNIQUE? DID YOU NOT THINK OF ME AS A HERO? I HAVE BEEN JUDGED ALL MY LIFE ABOUT MY STATURE, GENDER, AND LOOKS! I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS IF WOMEN WERE ABLE TO HAVE MORE DECISIONS, MORE RIGHTS, AND MORE OPPURTUNITY'S!!! I ASK OF YOU, GOOD CITIZEN'S OF THE IMPERIAL CITY, AM I WEAK? AM I A FRAIL, AND FRAGILE FLOWER? NO, I AM A WOMAN. AND I....AM....WARRIOR!" said Ilona. The crowd cheered for Ilona, and Jervais fled in even more shame. One of the audience members was a wealthy noble from Skyrim, they were married, had 2 children, and Ilona...was always referred to as, "Ilona the Valiant".....

The End.
