DEBORAH THE WARRIOR PRINCESS

Chapter 1: The miracle and the explosion

FIVE YEARS LATER

A powerful explosion happened in my country which is Sosthenes, this explosion was caused by an experiment called the Nuclear Fusion Antimatter Experiment, commonly known as NUFAME.

My dad was the scientist-in-charge of that experiment, initially my dad opposed the initiation of such an experiment, and he knew the experiment would not be easy to control, but my dad was pressured to do it.

FEW MONTHS EARLIER

My dad was approached by the Chief Director of the Sosthenian Central Labroratory when he was precautiously working on the NUFAME project. The Chief Director saw my dad's lack of enthusiasm towards his work, so he decided to conduct a little interrogation on my dad.

"Hey! Dr. Kennedy! How far have you gone with the NUFAME project?" The Chief Director asked.

"Very poorly." My dad responded dryly.

"The head of state anticipates the result of this experiment" The unsurprised Chief Director responded.

"Destruction is all he will get." My dad responded.

And my dad was not far from the truth, he could see destruction at the end of a desire of being the strongest world power of his age.

A little introduction about myself, I am the only child of my dad, and I lost my mum two years after I was born, simply because my mum did not survive child birth complications, this made my dad a widower.

Before the explosion happened, my dad predicted that this would happen, so he informed the authorities, and the authorities acted promptly by bringing the citizens out of the city of the Western Sun, which is the place where the experiment was taking place, the Western Sun is the capital of Sosthenes.

Luckily enough, he was in the laboratory when the nuclear reactor was going out of control. He quickly contacted a top executive at the presidential villa who had his tabs on the experiment.

"We need to evacuate the citizens out of the capital now!" My dad shouted hysterically to the executive at the receiving end of the call.

And the government promptly responded to his alarm.

Within minutes, the government was taking out a massive number of people out of the capital city.

Few minutes before the explosion happened, I and my dad were the only ones left in the large city, I was supposed to be with my uncle, but my five year old self chose to hide and watch daddy work on his project without him knowing. I was so shrewd at a very young age, my dad did not know I was around, he had made my uncle to promise to take care of me after his death.

I did not want to be an orphan, so I chose to stay behind, my uncle probably did not know I was not with him, if not he would have come back for me before the explosion happened, I watched my dad as he tried to do some things on the apparatus of the experiment, probably to delay the explosion, and he looked very frustrated, then I made an unwise error. I came out of my hiding place, and said, "Dad! Are you alright?"

My innocence betrayed me; the moment those words left my mouth, he turned back to look at me, and then, suddenly, a bright light appeared, I ran behind a wall out of fear, and the whole place was suddenly engulfed with fire. Within split seconds, the building fell, because there was an explosion!

As I was told, the people of Sosthenes came back to their destroyed capital, they were trying to get adjusted to the situation in order to find a solution to the problem at hand. Meanwhile, my uncle was searching for me with some group of people, I was later found intact in the rubble of the collapsed laboratory, though my dad was obliterated by the blast.

I was not harmed by the fire, there were no injuries, though my body had dust on it due to the building collapse, but I came out of the whole explosion... untouched, unharmed and undamaged!

It was a real miracle, and despite the fact that I was in that rubble for a long period of time, I did not die, but I was breathing very slowly and it looked as if I was dead, if not for the heartbeat that my uncle detected, I would have probably been considered dead.

The blast was limited to the capital of Sosthenes, and I think my dad was responsible for the limitation of the blast, because he was still working on the experiment even after almost everyone had left the city, my survival and recovery was a wonder indeed. The city of the Western Sun began to recover, but something happened five years after the NUFAME explosion.
