Sinister by Victoria Tariebi

A swash-buckling tale of kingdoms.

Princess Maya trains with one of the other knights.They both skillfully tackle each other at some point but Princess Maya wins the fight.She places her right foot on her opponent with the sword pointed at him.

"Victory"She says now removing her leg.

"Princess Maya"The palace servant called as he bowed his head"The king request for your audience at the meeting"

She quickly obeys and heads for the palace.She greets demonstrating coutrsey as she enters.The chiefs and honorable officials of the Great city are gathered.

"The Rocanians have reinforced.They've join heads with another nation..."One of the chiefs said but stops talking as he sees Princess Maya.The king signalled them to leave by waving a hand.
"You called for me sire"She says with her head still bowed down.

The Great king Royal sat on his throne with legs comfortably sprawled and with head resting on one arm.He heaved a sigh before speaking.
"The Rocanians aren't like before.It seems they have a new head that's smart.It's unlike them to form allies with anyone at all.They plan to wedge a greater war against us"

"How may I be of help father?"

"Years ago I received a prophecy from the seer.He told me that two heads with one body shall erase mankind.At a point these heads will seperate but if the other head agrees to fuse back, we'll all be doomed.My daughter,there will be a time that I would be no more and you have to prepare for that era.I remember telling you to take over when I'm gone,but I believe that might change"

Maya falls down to her knees and pleads.
"Please father.I have trained all my life.I am no weakling"

"The other head"The King says"Find the other head before it's too late"
