The Amazons moved swiftly and silently through the woods, and were soon at camp.
"We caught the noisy one," said the patrol leader. "What would you like to do with her, Highness?"
"She needs a suitable punishment for waking the predators- we just had to chase several tigers and jaguars away. If she was a stallion, i would say to give her to the beasts of the jungle, but since she is a mare and has kept quiet about our island..."
Ziszya paused, then "Put her to work in the fields and mines for a while, and don't let her rest besides at night. But take good care of her-just make her work- WITHOUT using any magic!"
The Amazon queen's eyes flashed at the final statement.
"If she starts using magic to work, cut down her rations and make her do harder jobs. I have spoken!"
