Anahita's POV:

I think it was during this year that everything happened.

That famous year, which will later be remembered for years as a moment that marked the history of our clan.
The Kalta clan. My home, the place I grew up with my family and friends, and the place where I found myself.

I think some explanations are needed, I'm Anahita Katla the daughter of Behmund, the chief of our clan and his soulmate Tanfana.
I have two elder sisters: Kali who is the oldest and Festia. They are both in their twenties, Kali was 27 years old and Festia 25 when everything happened.

Let me remember how it started. I believe it was when I was still a teenager in training to become the warrior I am today....

...

"You should be more careful about the strength you use" remarked my annoying teacher while we were crashing our wooden swords against each other.

"You rely too much on it; try to be more flexible and use your brain to think about my next move so you can counterattack, and who knows, maybe one day you'll be able to beat me." 'I can't believe the arrogance of this man; one day I swear I'll be stronger than he is.'

"And you, you shouldn't talk that much and fight me seriously old man!"

I'm sure it will work this time, so I decide to try the new idea I came up with yesterday after losing once again against this man.

' If I can get him to drop his defense for a whole second, then approach him to make him lose his balance.
I could take advantage of it to reverse the flow of this fight.' He wants me to use my brain, very well, he better be ready then!

"You know, I wonder if Elve will forgive you when she will know that you didn't directly go home last night but instead went with your friend to the bar" As soon as the last word left my mouth, my teacher froze still in front of me.

"WHAT! You saw me !? ...I mean...I don't know what you are talking about." He looked away, showing his poor lying skills. Seriously who would have thought that such a powerful warrior and the captain of the guard would be so easy to read.

"Oh really?? Then you don't mind if I tell her about it, do you??"

"You wouldn't !!"He looked at me with horror in his eyes imagining what his wife would do to him if she found out.

"You wanna bet?" I know it's disloyal to play the wife card, but there are no rules when you fight; this old man at least taught me this.

"You know what? Let's go see her right now!"I made a move in the direction of the training grounds exit.

"WHAT, NO !!" I heard him make a big step with his left leg to try to stop me from advancing more.

'Okay, now !!' I turn around swiftly, put my right leg under his front one, gab him by his shirt and put all my weight on him to make him fall backward.

"Woah !!", once on the ground he tried to swing his sword in his right hand at me, but I already expected that move, so I grabbed his wrist and pinned it down on the ground using all my strength.
'Okay next!', I try to be as fast as I can, before he tries to push me away as I take my hidden knife out of my waist and point it at his neck.
