As I stood there in the wasteland desert,looking straight ahead of me to find anything or anyone to help me find a place I could stay.All I could see was the wind sweeping up the sand stinging my eyes fuzzy outlines of the plain desert filled with sand and dirt while the Sun was beaming above my head making me sweat.My throat dry with nothing but sand everywhere.There was a black figure coming out of the hills. I blinked a couple of times to make sure my eyes weren’t playing trick.The figure became clearer as I began to walk closer. I held my hands up high and waved to them and ran to the person with all the energy I had with my razor sharp sword like a sharkstooth beside my hip.I recognised that symbol on his right chest. It was a symbol of two golden swords like ming going diagonally through a golden jewelled crown- that was the exact same symbol that was on my swords case. I began to clutch my sword to pull it out. A couple minutes later I stood face to face with him.
“Took me a long time to find you Yuki? Come with me now or you will have to go in prison or I’ll have to kill you by force no matter if you’re a girl. You still have a bounty over your head worth 2 billion jewels. Now who would want to miss that eh? I sure won’t, what about you?” He commanded.
“You really think I’ll come with you Sergeant Takeo? Back to the worst palace, that’s where everything started all the bad memories. You must be out of your mind! It took years to get out of the palace and your saying come back!?” I snapped.
Takeo smirked and said “I thought you would say that” Takeo cracked his knuckles, rolled his shoulders back and forth ready to fight. “Finally we get to fight: I've been waiting for this day since you were born, Princess Yuki!” He yelled. He pulled his sword out and pointed it a centimetre beneath my neck just touching my skin I got my sword out a second after his and pointed it at him right beneath his throat as Takeo blinked. We stood there in silence as the wind howled ferociously.We made our move as the wind stopped weeping. It was about time I could practise on someone I thought. I dodged all his attacks and made my final move,I closed my eyes and said ‘Swords from heaven and hell I ask for power in the name of the land in the east bestow upon me!’ I felt something rushing through my body, my body felt lighter and faster, this feeling got me excited! I opened my eyes and I saw Takeo differently, I saw his weak point that was flashing blue andwas in his belly. My sword started to glow red. I slashed my sword like an X on his belly and he was split apart and red blood burst out of him like a volcano erupting.I could tell it was a very deep wound by how much blood came out. Takeo’s blood went everywhere all over the desert ground and some on my clothes Everything changed back to normal how use to see before.Takeo chocked “Amazing,you have really out done yourself.You taught yourself The Red Lion’s Jaw.It’s almost impossible but then again you're that disgusting Queens daughter”
As Takeo said that about my mother I was fuelled with rage and anger.“How could you say that!? How could you say that about my mother!? SHE IS DEAD BEACAUSE OF MY BROTHER! DID YOU KNOW THAT?!
Takeo stuttered; “Y-y-you’re mother is dead? T-t-the Queen is dead? You mean T-t-takeshi killed her?”
I took a few breathers and told the story how my mother died.
“Yes. It happened not too long ago.I killed a guard as he betrayed me and stole from me and his wife pleaded me to let her go and she said she has children.So I let her go, when I done that I hid in my giant garden filled with the most rarest flowers that I absolutely adore.The wife I spared told everyone where I was but mother didn’t know. Guards of the palace went to mother and asked where I was but she said she refused to answer. They killed her as I heard she would be, by the villagers’ I ran inside the palace and saw her fall to the groundand she whispered "I love you forever" There were 12 guards standing around her and looked at me.The one who stabbed her fled along with another guard with a different looking cloak.Just then, that’s when my hidden power came as I felt anger rush through my body like non before and I felt I had swords in my eye and just by the glare of my eyes the guards dropped dead.I figured out that Takeshi premeditated this out because his name was carved in the sword. The same sword my father gave to him but i believe that father also has a similar sword. That sword was used to kill my Mother” I explained.
“I-I-I see s-so after that experience y-you won’t let m-m-me go. I’m very s-sorry for your lost, rest in peace my d-d-dear Queen, I'm very sorry to call her disgusting please forgive me as my time is u-" Takeo died not long before his speech.Teardrops poured down my eyes as I missed mother. Before I left Takeo, I prayed for him to the gods to bring him peace above the skies or below the Earthand help me when I’m in need I also prayed for my mother I left Takeo with abow of respect and left with tears flowing down my cheeks. A few moments had passed and I began to wonder why I really ran away from the palace. I was a princess; I had everything the girls in the village wanted, I had a palace, I had servants, I had maids, I had billions of jewels, I got whatever I wanted however, I threw it away. Was I running away because I was hurt that my mother died where I was brought up?Was it because I wanted to train to kill my brother Takeshi? I thought about it hard and it was both.
I carried on my journey and went deeper into the Desert. If my eyes weren’t deceiving me, not too far away was a massive pond and animals gathered around it. I ran with the final energy I had before collapsing to the sand beneath my feet. Nevertheless,it was no pond but a river in the middle ofthe Desert. To me it seemed too weird for a river to be in a desert. I was right in front of the river and drank it and cleaned my top where Takeo’s blood splashed on me. It seemed too fresh and almost too peculiar. A river in the desert without evaporating and still fresh and clean seemed almost extraordinary.Suddenly there was a rattle behind the palm trees.I held my sword tightly as if my hand was about to bleed I had not enough energy for another fight.The Red Lion’s Jaw attack took too much power I didn’t have enough stamina;I’ve always been like that since young I didn’t feel like fighting again I wanted to flee but I had no energy in me to run away.
