•_ heyo, it's little ol' me. I'd just like to say how much I love you guys ! You're so responsive and nice and I just love you guys ... Just wanted to share that. Enjoy ' •_ 



The screams rang out as the thunder of horses hooves echoed from every side of the valley. We all charge in head first baring no regrets. Our archers are the first to engage by releasing multiple rounds down rage at the Hun wannabe's. Then they signal for all of us on horse back shows, so we move next.

Carefully we fall out of line, in pursuit of any Hun within in reach. Now I really wish I knew how to fight. Unsheathing my sword I burst right into the madness were hun and army collide. All that can be heard is battle cries and the crashing of blades. At the point I'm practically riding in circles around Huns and trying not to get shot by arrows. My plan for stay alive was working perfectly until I hear a girlish voice screaming out bloody murder. I look over for a spilt second and see Daiyu being dragged away by two brutish men kicking and screaming. However, before I even have time to react I feel a giant jolt on my shoulder and fly off of ping. I look over at my shoulder to a see an arrow in stuck only onto my armor, thank the ancestors ! The bad news is that ping ran away though... I can't blame him. I get up as quickly as possible and rip it off before trying to find the sword I dropped. Luckily I was always great at the solo game of eye-spy and hastily found it and made my way to search for Daiyu.

I see them lugging her away and do my best to catch up. I've honestly never felt this much adrenaline in my whole life. I eventually get close enough so I, literally, take a leap of faith and tackle one of the men to the floor by grabbing his feet. He falls in the muddy slush, but Daiyu is still being held by the other. " what are you doing ?!? " she yells at me and the first thing I can think of is, " I have no idea ! ". I can she was going to yell at me, but she was quickly silenced by her capturer hold his blade to her neck while forcefully gripping her hands behind her back.

" you shouldn't be here, I can handle this myself " she hisses at me angrily. " as much as I know you don't deserve my help, you are the princess, so I have to help you for my country... Because it's merely my duty ". I can see that what is said obviously hurt her, but now wasn't the time for that. The man I'd tackled had now risen back onto his feet, and I'm screwed. This guy is practically a giant compared to my tiny 5"6 stature. He's super muscular, intimidating, and probably the purest definition of a man. He's basically everything I'll never be....

I got to caught up in my head I didn't even have time to flinch before he towered over my meek self and sucker punched me right in the face with the hold of his sword while punching me in the gut at the same time with his other hand. I practically collapsed back onto the floor, grasping for air and feeling a trickle of blood make its way down my lip and nose.

It feels like I'm suffocating on my own blood, but I know it's not that serious. My vision is nothing but a hazy blur as I try to stumble my way back onto my feet. The man is laughing at how pathetic I am before he begins to walk away proudly back towards his partner. " look at how sad she is ? " he mocks, gesturing towards me. " this is why women should never be allowed to fight ", these words make me clench my fist as my vision somewhat comes back into focus.

And guess what I see. A little red gecko has finally showed up ! I see Mushu creeping his way over towards Daiyu with ... A cricket tied to his back ? ... No, I don't want to know. I need to focus on creating a distraction. " that's a lot of talk for someone who used the wrong end of the sword ! " I taunt luckily grabbing the attention of both of them. Clearly enraged he replies " I spared your life you pathetic low-life ! ", before readjusting his grip on his sword. I make a quick, wobbly run at him clashing blades once before realizing how weak I feel as my adrenaline starts to fade. I can't help but to fall to my knees clenching onto my sword for balance. I see him lift his sword up and I know, this is it. I hold my breath. Shut my eyes. And wait for-

" As your leader I command you to stop ! "

Wait what ?
