jessica law & marion leeper - "two lionesses" lyrics
[spoken: narrator]
choosing death in battle as a warrior’s way out, bradamante set off straight away for the centre of the fray. after more dangers and desperate adventures than we have time to tell, she arrived, and threw herself into battle, looking for the sleek figure of her rival
