In the vast expanse of the Ukrainian steppe in 475 BC, there lived a fearless Scythian cavalry woman named Zarinaia. Renowned for her prowess in battle, Zarinaia had earned the right to take a husband after defeating three enemies in combat, a feat few could achieve.
Among the fallen foes lay the first enemy, a fierce warrior named Sarmato. He had been a formidable opponent, but Zarinaia’s skill with the bow and arrow proved unmatched. The second enemy, a cunning tactician known as Madyes, fell swiftly beneath her blade, his schemes no match for her bravery.
But it was the third kill, a young warrior named Rigali, who captured Zarinaia’s heart. Her sudden attraction to Rigali is a tempest of conflicting emotions. In the heat of battle, his strength and courage captivate her, stirring a primal desire within her warrior's heart. Despite knowing him as her enemy, she finds herself drawn to him with a magnetic force she cannot resist. Theirs is a turbulent dance of desire and conflict, where the boundaries between friend and foe blur amidst the chaos of war.
Haunted by the specter of her own violence, Zarinaia refused to release the grip of her unfulfilled yearning for Rigali. Driven by a desperate fervor, she stumbled back to his motionless form, determined to consecrate their desire in the realm of the damned. With hands trembling like leaves in the wind of the abyss, she adorned his corpse with wilted blooms and macabre symbols, the air thick with the scent of decay and despair. Whispers of vows, laced with the chill of the grave, escaped her lips as tears of blood traced sorrowful rivers down her pallid cheeks, a testament to the tragic union forged in the shadows of eternal night.
Zarinaia consummated her union with Rigali's cold, lifeless husk, her lips tasting the bitterness of death with each fervent kiss. The crunch of bones beneath her weight echoed through the stillness of the night, punctuated by the haunting melody of the wind. As the first tendrils of dawn stretched across the barren landscape, casting an ethereal golden glow, Zarinaia's senses were overwhelmed by a perverse ecstasy, her flesh tingling with the thrill of forbidden passion. She knew, with a chilling certainty, that their twisted longing would endure, transcending the very fabric of existence, as they became one.
In the waning moments of the saga, as Zarinaia fixes her gaze upon the distant horizon, a shiver of dread coils within her. Could it be conceivable that Rigali's essence endures within her, his essence melded with the dark depths of the unborn? As the sun ascends relentlessly in the sky, its searing beams puncture Zarinaia's flesh, and she recoils at the unnatural stirrings within. In that eerie instant, she senses that their bond will endure, entwined with the deathly dance of life and decay upon the desolate expanse of the steppe.
