Amelia’s POV
.
” what do you have on your back?” She asked and it was then I remembered that I have a mark on my back.
” It’s a birth mark” I replied.
” Waoh…. that’s an unusual birth mark ……it form a design on your back” she said rubbing it.
” uhh, That’s weird” I said when I noticed something strange.
” What’s weird?” She asked.
” Whenever the Mark get in contact with water it cause me pain but now I felt nothing” I said.
” Really? …. what about now?” Aurora said as she pour more water on it but I feel nothing.
” How is this possible?” I asked.
” Maybe I have a magical touch” she said smiling.
” Indeed ” I muttered still wondering.
” Perhaps it’s the will of the gods for us to find each other, this is the first time I’ve ever feel free with anyone” she said and I smiled.
” The feeling is mutual Aurora, you’re my first true friend even though we just met but it doesn’t seem like it” I replied.
” Me too, which is why I want us to be together for a long time, please don’t fight Edgar tomorrow” she said.
” Aurora, I appreciate your concern and it means a lot to me but I have to do this” I said.
” Why?…… for what purpose?…….why are you doing this?…..you clearly have no idea who you’re up against” she said.
” Just believe in me……I believe I can do this” I replied.
” I’m scared…… aren’t you?” she said.
” warrior’s shouldn’t be afraid of anything” I replied.
” Promise me, you will come out alive”
” I promise”

” I thought she said she’s not interested in the prince, not you lose both ways today, first the contest and now her” she said.

{Next Day}
.
The arena is crowded with people who are anticipating to see the outcome of the challenge against the great Edgar.
The news about the challenge has spread around the city and villages and people are coming in to watch the fight.
Amelia is still in the princess’s chamber and Aurora helped her get dressed for the fight.
” Are you nervous?” Aurora asked.
” A warrior shouldn’t be especially when about to fight against a dangerous opponent” she replied.
” You’re not a warrior, you’re just a girl not knowing what she’s doing” Aurora and Amelia smiled.
” I get that you’re worried but don’t be…… I’ll be fine” she said and they hugged and Aurora’s handmaiden entered.
” My princess, it’s time” she said.
” Remember you promised”
” Yes, I remember” Amelia replied and they left.
.
On their way to the arena they met with Klaus who was also heading over there.
” I see my sister has put you under her wings, that must be a lovely thing because I’ve never seen her doing such for anyone” he said.
” Get out of our way Niklaus or I’ll deal with you” she said.
” Rest your mind sister, I came with an offer” he said.
” Take your offer and go……we are not interested” Aurora replied.
” C’mon sister, let the girl speak for herself” he said.
” I believe your sister already gave you my answer…… whatever it is you’re offering I’m not interested” Amelia replied.
” Don’t jump into conclusion yet because you don’t know what I’m offering……I can help you from dying”
” I can save your life in the arena today, all you need to do is agree with me and it will be done” he said.
” Get out of our Niklaus” Aurora said as she drag her along.
” You leave now and the offer is no longer on the table” he yelled but they ignored him as they walk away.
.
” What is he talking about?” Amelia asked.
” Forget him, he will say anything just to get to you….. don’t let his word trouble you” Aurora replied.
As they are going Amelia felt an eye on her and when she turned she saw the Oracle staring at her.
‘ what is wrong with this woman?…… why is she staring at me?’ she thought.
‘ I hope she’s not having any crazy vision or prophesy about me…..what a crazy old woman’
” Are you alright?” Aurora asked.
” Yes, I’m fine….. let’s go”
.
They got to the arena and Aurora wish her Goodluck before heading to the podium where her parents are.
Amelia was given a sword then she bend down tying her shin guards when Leo came to meet her.
” Hi Leo” Amelia said.
” Hi” he muttered and Amelia noticed his unhappiness.
” I came back yesterday and was informed you left already” she said.
” I have to because I can’t wait any longer…..you seems to be having a quality time with the prince” he said.
” is this what all these is about?….. you’re jealous because I was with the prince” she said smiling.
” I’m not jealous, I’m angry, I’m angry at the prince for using his charm to get you and I’m angry at you for falling for him”
” I thought you and I are building something together, and one snap from the prince you’re already on his bed” he said angrily.
” Wow, you’re indeed very angry…. My warrior” she said grinning at him.
” Don’t call me that”
” Calm your mind Leo, just for you to know……I didn’t spend the night with the prince infact I didn’t see his bed” she said.
” Then where were you……you didn’t come back,….. c’mon don’t lie to me” he said.
” I’m not lying, Yes the prince wanted to sleep with me but I rejected……the princess came to my rescue”
” So I spent the night at her place” she added.
” You mean the prince didn’t touch you?” He asked.
” No, he didn’t and he never will, not while I’m still alive ” she replied and he hug her tightly.
” That’s enough lover boy…..I have to get ready for Edgar” she said pulling away.
” Do you have to fight him?…..we can just run away” he said and she smiled.
” Really, you want me to elope with you?” She said.
” Yes, let’s get out of this city, let’s leave everything behind and start our life anew” he said.
” Sorry Leo, I can’t……I can’t run away….I don’t run” she replied.
” Stop being stubborn Amelia……this is your life we are talking about, why are you throwing it away” he said.
” I’m not do………” She was about to say when they heard the loud trumpet for the commencement of the fight.
” It’s time Leo……I have to go now” she said turning to leave then Leo pull her back and k-ssed her.
The k-ss lasted for two minutes before they pull away from each other.
” Please come back alive” he said.
” I will” she replied then left.
.
” Citizens of Malmoe, I know for sure you all are anticipating to watch this spectacular fight between these two great warrior’s”
” This two warrior’s had both defy all odds thrown at them, these two shows great strength and courage in the arena”
” And now today these two will face each in a duel to know who really is the true champion of Malmoe and the one chosen by the gods”
” Citizens of Malmoe, here she come the woman who stood gallantly in the arena defeating men who are twice her size”
” I give to you Amelia of Haida” the official said and the people cheered as Amelia entered the arena holding her sword in her hands.
” And who will be fighting against her, who is strong enough to be a worthy opponent against her”
” There is but one person, the man created by the gods themselves, the man whose sword killed tore men apart”
” The man who every man who sword seek nothing but the blood of it’s opponent, the man with the strength of a hundred men”
” I give to you Edgar the undefeated champion of Malmoe” the official said and Edgar bounced in.
The arena was silent when he entered, the sound of his feet hitting the ground could be heard as he walked.
Amelia swallowed her spit as she have a proper look of him before her and understand why people are afraid of him.
His stature and composure is like that of a god, he’s tall and broad, even his sword his twice the size of Amelia’s.
” O uhh…..uh……what have I done?” She muttered.
They both bow to the royal family and the official wave the flag for them to begin.
Amelia held tightly on her sword then she attacked first charging at him.
Edgar stood his ground fighting back and when an opportunity presents itself he gave her a heavy blow which sent her to the ground.
” Uuuhhhh” the people growled.
She noticed her mouth is bleeding then spit out the blood then stood back up holding her sword.
She calmed herself then attacked him again trying to take him but all to no avail as Edgar fought back.
Amelia tried all her sword skills but Edgar is just no ordinary warrior as he took control of everything.
Another opportunity presents itself and Edgar slash her back with his sword.
” Aaaaaahhhhh” she scre-med then fall to the ground.
She winced in pain as she tried to stand back up then she attacked again charging with all her strength.
An opportunity presents itself for her and she was able to slash his chest which seems to have any effect on him.
He hit her hærd with the back of his hand which sent her to the ground.
She crawled back up weakly then thought of another plan, before she could conclude her plan Edgar charged at her.
She fought back then kicked him on the leg as the opportunity presents itself then smashed his face with her hand.
As she was about to punch him again Edgar kicked her to the ground, she quickly picked her sword and jumped to smash him.
Edgar was quick enough to defend with his sword which cause Amelia’s sword to break into pieces.
Edgar stood up and grabbed her by the neck and punched her face thrice before dropping her to the ground.
Amelia was on the ground trying to catch her breath then she started having a familiar feeling.
” Oh no….no no no, don’t….. don’t come out….. don’t come out”
” I can do this…..I can still do this….. don’t come out” she said trying to control herself.
” GET HER ANOTHER SWORD” Edgar shouted and someone went to fetch it.
.
” Father, you have to stop this……you already have your champion….. please stop this before he kills her” Aurora pleaded.
” No Father, she had her chance to stop the fight but didn’t……. it’s her choice so this is one her” Klaus countered.
” Niklaus, are you nut?……. what nonsense are you spurting out?” Aurora said angrily.
” Niklaus is right Aurora, she had her chance besides this is her decision so we have to see it through” he said.
” Mother, please do something” she said turning to her mother.
” I wish there’s something I could do for your new friend” the queen replied and Klaus grin evilly at her.
.
Amelia was able to control herself and she was given another sword then she took a deep breath.
She charged at him greatly trying to pin him down but Edgar was skillful enough to turn it around.
An opportunity presents itself and Amelia Slash his which cause him to yell, as he intended to smash her.
Amelia dodged his advance then punch him hærd on the face drawing blood then thr-st her sword into his chest.
Amelia was surprised that instead of him going down he’s still on his feet like nothing happened.
Before she could react he gave her a heavy blow on the face which sent her to the ground.
Edgar pulled out the sword from his chest then charged at her , Amelia tried to punch back but she’s too weak as Edgar caught her hand.
He landed so many punches on her face which is now swollen then he stood up and grabbed his sword.
He went to her and place it on her neck then looked up to the royal family for permission.
.
” Father, please…… don’t let him” Aurora said already shedding tears.
” Niklaus, Make the judgement” the king said and klaus smiled widely.
” Yes Father” he replied.
” No, Father no…… please don’t”
” Niklaus, please don’t do this……..this is not right” she pleaded.
” She had her chance sister and she need to know the consequences” he replied as he stood up and face them.
He pull out his hand and turned his thumb downward as a go ahead signal for Edgar to finish her.
” Nooooooooo”
