Leana Stuart, The Queen of AFW!

It was a night like any other. One of the AFWs endless bouts ended and the audience was in hushed anticipation for what may come next. Suddenly just as the last wrestlers had exited the arena a troop of men dressed like royal courtiers entered. They spread out on either side of the entrance wielding trumpets. Finally, they lifted their trumpets and blew a regal tune in sync. One of the men strutted forward and let a scroll roll loose in front of him. Reading the scroll in a Scottish accent as thick as oil, he pronounced. "Hereye! Hereye! You are blessed by the arrival of her Majesty the Queen!" As soon as a group of couriers carried out a massive crimson rug and unfurled it down the ramp, she entered.

The Queen:

The audience quieted a moment as they took in the stunning beauty before them. The Queen was more than six feet tall and plump in all the right places. Her flowing hair was fire red and her eyes were a calm ocean green. She wore a bikini bottom and top; Ivory in the center and trimmed at the edges with gold thread. Her thighs were each bound tightly with leather straps. The queen calmly took the throngs in with her blessed gaze and continued down the ramp. 

As she approached the ring a separate batch of courtiers quickly swept away the debris from the previous match. Once the ring was impeccably clean two courtiers carried in a cherry wood thrown inlaid with blood red cushions and delicately placed it in the center of the ring. After a few slow steps up the rings steel steps, the queen ducked through the ropes her courtiers had stretched open. Not in much of a hurry, Leana strolled to her throne, plopped down, and grabbed a microphone from her courtier's hands. 

In a voice laced with honey and poison Leana spoke. "Hello, my fine subjects. As I'm sure you've just heard I am Leana, Queen of every wrestler in this prestigious organization and I've come here for one simple reason. To accept the fealty of each of my new subjects one at a time. If they have some inclination to reject my authority I will break their bodies and their spirit until they kiss my royal feet!" Leana gestured lazily to the ramp in front if her. "Now who will be first?!"

It was some time since she had been in AFW, Makita Shouko was ready to fly again! There were a lot of factors that kept Makita out from the ring, plenty of it was her falling out of focus with all of the numerous talented women that was coming into AFW, Makita didn't have the drive to keep up and remain relevant. But some time away to refocus and solidify her resolve was what she needed and she was ready to take on the world again. The woman who was in the ring now definitely had an aura around her, almost intimidating Makita not to move forward. But she knew that if she chose not to accept this open challenge, someone else would and she would be left in line again!

Spoiler:

Her song started to play, catching a few smarks off guard as her theme wasn't heard in a long while as she came out, looking a lot more different than the last time as she made her way to the ring, springing up onto the top rope in the center as she looked around. It was her time to capture everyone's attention with this re-debut!

"You! I may have been gone a while, but I'm not going to ignore that challenge you just made!" she let out, hopping off of the top and into the ring as she made her way towards the Queen, "For too long I have been forgotten about, which may have been my fault, but I'm turning my fortunes around today! I accept your open challenge!"

Leana leaned forward in her throne as this slender bubble gum haired girl entered her ring. She did not interrupt as the girl introduced herself. As one of the queens subjects Leana had to listen, even to a peasant.

Leana sighed and stood from her throne. After marching toward her supposed challenger she gently laid a hand on her shoulder. "Can I give you some royal advice?" Without letting the girl answer, she continued. "I believe the smart thing to do is kiss my hand and walk away. You have to understand that with this being my first appearance I will have to be merciless to any challengers..." Leana starred longingly into Makitas emerald eyes as she combed a hand through her rose-colored hair. "I have no bad blood towards you... I won't take any pleasure in breaking you... So don't make me..."

Makita threw down her challenge to this woman who had presented herself as a queen, her heart was racing with nervousness as she waited for her response. Her body tensed up when Leana opened her mouth and the nervousness went away and was replaced with anger. She had accepted the open challenge and her opponent was brushing her off, even telling her to kiss her hand and just leave! She didn't work up the nerve to come out after being away for so long only to be turned away.

Her teeth gritted as her hand ran through her hair, it was alluring in a way from such a pristine woman, but Makita wasn't having any of it. She was dead set on getting back on the right track and she was not going to be turned away! She brought up her hand, smacking Leana's arm away from her as she took a step forward, her bravery shot up as she shoved herself against Leana, trying to get right in her face!

"I didn't come out here to ask for your mercy, I came out here to fight you!"

Leana laughed heartily at her opponents arrogance. It had been a long while since someone dared lay a hand on her. More interesting was Makitas attempt to get in her face, that was new to the queen. As always the queen would stand her ground. "You've sure got spirit... And beauty... I'm not sure if I want you as a soldier or as a concubine!" Leana chuckled again at her own little joke. 

After a small sigh Leana nodded and said: "Very well you'll get your match. Because I'm feeling generous ill allow you to pick whatever rules you'd like! And because I think you'll be useful ill try not to cripple or disfigure you too badly my sweet flower..." As she waited for Makita to respond Leana unbottened and tossed aside her white and gold blazer.

Nerves were running at an all-time high for Makita, it was a while since she had a match and now she was placing the pressure on herself to succeed against an opponent who did not look like she knew the word to lose. She was a little worried at how Leana addressed her, as if she was ready to beat her and claim her for...something. She wasn't too sure, but it only gave her all the more moxxy to win!

She was taken a back a bit more, she was still having trouble pinning down on what her opponent was actually like, allowing her to pick the rules for their match. Giving Makita an advantage to figure out what she wanted to do, she didn't want to give herself too much of an advantage because that wasn't her style but she did want a little more flair for her first match in a long while!

"Let's have a five count match!" she quickly shouted, saying the first thing that came to mind.

Leana lit up at Makitas spontaneous little offer. "A five-count pin? What a grand idea! I wouldn't want my grand entrance as queen to end too quickly." With a darling smile on her face Leana gracefully swung her hand up for her opponent to shake, as if they were somehow equals, how amusing! "You got yourself a deal!"

Leana instinctivly wanted to just charge at Makita and start beating her senslless then and there. Alas she had to keep up her regal appearances. Though there were other ways she could fight in an underhanded manner...

With a lock of mock surprise on her face Leana declared: "Oh my... It seems we don't have an official yet... We could call for one or... One of my noble attendants could fill the role..."

Makita was standing firm on her decision, she wasn't going to back down after being looked down on by this Queen! Her body was heating up, her muscles were tensing, she couldn't wait to expel all of this energy that was built up within her for a long time!

"Then get someone out here so you can stop stalling!" she shouted out, more aggressive than usual, practically bouncing up and down as she was psyching herself up for this coming back match!

As soon as Makita had given her consent one of Leanas minions slid into the ring, conveniently already wearing a referees shirt and carrying a bell. Leana nodded to her man. "Thank you for serving as our ref Greg... Gary? Gerald?..." The Queen waved her hand absentmindedly. "Ah, whatever."

Leana turned back to Makita with an eager smile on her lips. She raised her arms up and declared: "Just say the word and the match will begin! And because I'm so generous and regal I'm gonna allow you the first shot... Make. it. count!"

Makita didn't need more encouragement. She knew how much this meant to her to kick start her momentum with a win after having an extended time away from the spotlight and little chance to show off what she was made for. In her hurry to start the match, the fact of having one of Leana's attendants being the referee completely flew over her head to the possible chances of foul play. But she didn't think of that, all she could think of was how to get a win!

However in the When Leana gave her the first shot, being so generous and regal as she put it, Makita would race across the ring, leaping up into the air to bring both of her feet tucked in before firing it forward for a sudden dropkick for her free attack!
