Hua Mulan P.O.V
"Ha!"

A clear and feminine voice rose up, as if whining about the exhaustion from trekking. The weird rustling noise from the bushes soon caught my attention.

What was that? Am I being too sensitive?

I sighed.

The fade moonlight was the only source that glowed up my path. I was clearly lost in a forest, alone.

It was dark and mysterious, and full of fog. There were rumours that once you enter the forest, you can never get out of the forest. For Eternity.

However, that never stop me from exploring. Instead, it caught my interest.

I, none other than the daughter of the strongest warrior in China. I should be proud that my father was the pride of our country, everyone swooned over him and I should be treated well by everyone too.

But no! That's not the case. I have achieved nothing in my life. I have achieved nothing to be proud of. Much less, I was born as a girl.

Girls in our country is a diminished existance. Even though without us, there won't be any new generations, how ironic.

Even the so called 'greatest warrior in China' had been bias against his one and only daughter. He blamed me for not being a man, not being able to inherit his pride.

Everyone in the village too, threatened that I shouldn't be born if I was a girl. As if my situation here wasn't bad enough, my father arranged a marriage for me, while I don't even have a damn clue who was the groom.

Until one day, I overheard a conversation between my father and his army. Whether they should fight against the neighboring country by lurking them into the 'living forest'.

The forest that's alive? Cool.

Without hesitation, I packed a large scarlet sword and two small blades from my father's room.

I have to prove myself, I can get out of this 'living forest' safe and sound, even if I am a woman, even if I am by myself. I can do it.

Unfortunately, I never heard anything about ghost lingering in this forest. I can feel an eye starring at me, sending chills through my spine.

Irritated, I yelled at the top of my throat.

"Whoever you are, stop hiding and stop following me! Or I will make you pay double in return!"

No response.

It can't be there's really a ghost, can it?

"Woman? What business do you have here?" a sharp and deep voice questioned, out of nowhere.

I was startled, and my face turned pale. Even though I scrutinized my surrounding, there was no one to be found.

"If you are not going to answer...." the voice trailed off.

Once the silence fell, I felt a crazily dangerous aura charged toward me, in an incredibly fast speed.

Instinctively, I grabbed my scarlet sword and swinged it toward the air. My sword met a teal-blue glowing blade with a 'clang'.

To my surprise, a man with mask slowly emerged before me. His emerald orbs glanced into my orangy eyes.

How attractive. It almost drown me into them.

As I was busy fansinating his rare emerald eyes, his voice snapped me back into reality.

"I am impressed. I never would have expected someone to see through my invisibility."

His words were like addictive drugs, I was soon discovered I was really touched to the extend to hug him for recognizing me as his opponent, despite the fact that I am a woman.

Was he praising me? Am I actually a good fighter?

My mood that had always been depressed for years was immediately lightened up, but not until he added his last sentence that stroke me down to the hill.

"Much less, a woman."
