Hello, I'm Blair Bathory, and this is the Something Scary podcast, whether this is your first time,

or you're one of the brave souls who join us every week. Thank you so much for being here.

Throughout history, there have been tales and legends of powerful women.

We've been praised for creating life, accused of inciting wars and everything in between.

We are brave, strong, and compassionate when pushed to the edge. we're capable of anything and cannot be stopped,

even if we need to summon the spirits to take care of business.

So be sure not to cross a warrior woman,

or you may not survive.

First, a fight to the death, followed by a mother's deadly instinct.

Then, the endless nightmare.

Finally, in our featured story, Revenge in Plain Sight.

So, want to hear something scary?

Yeah. So, want to hear something scary? Warrior women.

Following a leader because of what they believe in can be powerful.

But when they don't know when to stop, it may not only lead to your death, but to the death of thousands.

Like in this story, based on true events from Great Britain in the year AD 60, written by Janine Pipe.

As I looked down at the wound on my side, I knew I didn't have much longer to live.

But despite this knowledge, and indeed the pain, I was proud of what we had achieved,

and how I had served our queen to the best of my ability.

She stood there now, filthy, bloody, half-starved, but nonetheless trying to rally the troops.

There was no need, really. We would all fight for her till the end. She had a fire in her

belly that spread to all of us. Hers may have been born of revenge, but ours was just as fierce.
