Amelia’s POV
.
Leo and I rode as fast as we could to my village praying in my heart that my father should be okay.

I’m not ready to be alone all by myself, I’m not ready to be an orphan.
.
Not very long after we arrived at my village and my heart sank as I saw what become of my village.

Every house has been burnt down and dead bodies could be seen laying on the ground.

I wept bitterly when I see dead people on the ground with young ones inclusive.

” What kind of monster did this to my village?”

” What kind of animal turn it into this?”

I walked around and saw a few wounded people gro-ning in pain and I went to help them.

Leo also helped out with others and also looked for some other survivors around.

I was unable to control my tears as they came streaming down from my eyes.

After helping the ones I could I mounted the horse and rode straight to my house.

I got down from the horse and ran to our house and when I got there I saw it burnt down as well.

” No, No….No No” I cried my heart out.

” FATHERRR” I cried out.

” FATHEERR, please where are you?” I cried louder and Leo came to me.

” I’m sorry Amelia” he said.

” No, nothing must happen to him….. nothing must happen to him” I said.

” A…me….li…a” I heard a fainted voice from around and I spranged up looking for where the voice came from.

” Ame….Lia” I heard again and this time around I was able to get it and I ran to the position.

The person was on the ground bleeding and with log of woods over him.

When I got closer I was able to see the face clearer.

” Ashur” I called then leo and I helped him out by carrying the wood above him away and carry him to safety.

Even though Ashur and I always fight at every chance we get, I still don’t want this to happen to him.

He’s one of my people as well.

” It’s okay Ashur, you’ll be alright” I said as we laid him down under a tree then tried to see to his wound.

I tried to stop the bleeding but His wound are too deep and I can only so much without any medicine.

” Leo, help me look for any medicine around…..hurry up” I said to Leo and he went away.

” They….they came…… Amelia,….t..t.they came…….they killed everyone” he mumbled in pain.

” It’s okay Ashur, you can rest now…..just call yourself” I replied with tears dripping from my face.

” I tried Amelia……I tried”

” I know Ashur,……I know you did” I replied.

” I tried to fight for our village as a warrior, I fought them Amelia, but they are just too many” he said spurting out more blood.

” I know you did, I’m certain you did everything possible in your power, I know you did” I replied.

” Just don’t think about all that……try to conserve your energy, you will be alright” I replied.

” They took him,….I saw them took him away” he said.

” They took who?…..who are you talking about?” I asked.

” Your father, they took him away” he said.

” Where?….which way did they go?” I asked.

” North-East……they went that way” he answered.

” Okay…… just calm your mind” I said to him.

” Despite the aversion between you and I you still stay to help me, I’ve always known you to be special, Amelia” he said.

” I heard you won the contest…also heard you challenged the champion of Malmoe,….”

” T..t..tell.. tell me did you win?” He asked as I noticed his breathing slowing down.

” Yes Ashur, I did and I did it for our village” I replied and he smiled.

” Forgive me Amelia, For everything……..Forgive me” he said breathing heavy.

” I never hate you Ashur so there’s nothing to forgive…..I have no hate towards you” I replied.

” That’s good…. that’s go…o…o” he was saying then stopped and his breathing stopped as well.

” I’m sorry for this Ashur, I’m so sorry this happen to you” I wept then see leo running towards us.

He got to us and noticed Ashur is no more breathing and he fell to the ground.

” I’m so sorry Amelia, I feel your hurt….I really do” Leo said then I stood up to go and find my father.

” I’m going to find my father, Ashur told me before he died that they took my father and they went North-East” I said mounting the horse.

” I’m coming with you” Leo said.

” No, I can’t let you do that” I replied.

” Are you trying to get yourself killed?…..you can’t take on them all by yourself” leo said.

” That’s not it…..you and I can’t go together and leave these wounded people here all by themselves”

” They might need something and someone has to stay around to help, please do this for me” I said.

” I understand but you can’t fight those people alone…….you need help” he said.

” I know….. the king’s army will be here soon and whey they arrive you can send them to my direction” I replied.

” Please be careful” he said concernedly.

” I will….. thank you for everything” I said then rode off towards North-East.

In Bosnak’s camp, He and his men are back to the camp after the raid they just had and he requested for man who killed his nephew.

Two of his men dragged out Amelia’s father from the confinement and throw him at the feet of angry Bosnak.

Gaius gro-ned in pain as he managed to look up and their eyes met then Bosnak gave him a punch on the face.

Gaius fell to the ground spurting out blood as the effect of the heavy punch and Bosnak stood up.

” You cramps,…..you killed my nephew” he said.

” What about you?……what about the people you killed?….they are also someone’s sisters, brothers, sons of daughters….even cousins, nephews and nieces”

” What about all those ones?…..you killed them all you this heartless monster” Gaius shouted at him which lead to another punch on the face.

” I’ll make you all pay but now I’ll make you pay first” he said then turned to one of his men.

” Take down his head right now” he said to him and they dragged Gaius to back of the camp.

Everyone followed them to witness the beheading as they brought him to the center and man pulled out his sword.

The man raised his sword high and made to bring it down to his head then out of nowhere an arrow hit him on the lungs.

Everyone was shocked as the man choke in his own blood till he died and they turned to the direction where it was fired.

Everyone pulled out their weapons as they saw Amelia coming with a sword in one of them’s throat.

” Drop your weapons, Now” Amelia said as she get closer to them.

” I see you really have a death wish coming here girl because there’s no way you’re getting out of here alive” Bosnak said.

” We will see about that, Now move back” Amelia said as she got close enough and the men obeyed.

” Untie him” she said pointing to her father then one of the men untied the man.

” Come over here Father, c’mon on” she said and Gaius went to her.

” I see we missed you at the village and you came here to play hero and try to rescue your father”

” You should’ve stayed where you are and maybe you might live longer, and then you have to come here” Bosnak said.

” Enough talk, let’s go Father……none of you should follow us” she said and they started moving back.

When she has gotten far enough from them he released the man he took as leverage and they ran away.

Bosnak’s men tried to go after her but he signalled for them to hold and he smiled as they left.

” Do you know why I chose this side as our camp?” Bosnak said smiling.

” It’s because it’s very deep and there are lots of trees here so there’s no way you can get far without a horse”

” Get ready boys, Let’s have some fun” he said and they roared excitedly and they started running after them.
.
Amelia and her father started running as far as they could but could only do so much because of the arrow wound her father sustained in his leg.

As they were running an arrow flew passed them hitting the tree and she turned to the them running after them.

They picked up the pace trying to get away but the men get closer to them by the minute as they keep shooting at them.

One of the arrows scrap her arm and she yelled in pain then turned, picked up her bow and started shooting back.

She took down six of them and started running away, she saw the mountains up ahead and she run to it.

” Father, let’s go over the mountains” she said as they ran towards it.

Just as they got there an arrow hit Gaius on the chest causing him to scre-m and another drove through his torso.

” Aaaahhhh” he scre-med loudly.

” Nooo…..Father” Amelia shouted then turned to them with one wave of her hand a force hit the men to the ground.

The others who experienced this ran away in fear.

She turned to her father and carry him to the mountains and they hid there while she tend to his wounds.

” Please father, please stay strong for me” she said crying.

” I’m glad I get to see you before I die” Gaius said.

” Please Stop it, father…… you too are not dying, you can survive this…..you will survive this for me” she said and he smiled.

” My beautiful Amelia”

” You have no idea how much love I have for you and I’m happy I get to be your father” he said.

” Please stop talking father, Just conserve your energy…. you’ll be fine” she said still trying to stop the bleeding.

” Amelia, I have to tell you a Story” he said.

” Oh, now is not the time to be joking around Father, quit it already” she said.

” I’m not my dear, but you have to hear this” he said then he started.
.
” Twenty-three years ago I was in the forest hunting, it’s a full moon that night which is supposed to be my lucky night”

” I walked stealthily in the forest hoping to find any animals but to my utter most surprise I found nothing”

” It was later I saw the bush burning which caused my misfortune for that night, I was very angry and went over to see who set it on fire”

” My intensions is to beat whoever it is and report him to the chief but when I got there I found no one”

” I looked around but found no one and I got the shock of my life, laying in the midst of the fire is a crying baby”

” I was astounded that the child still lives despite the fire and she wasn’t hurt by the fire”

” I looked for a way to path way to get to the baby and I carry it and I saw a Mark on ground”

” I too the child home to my wife and we loved her just like our own” he concluded.
.
” What are you talking about Father?,”

” Why are you telling me this?”

” And where is the child?, What become of it?” Amelia asked and he smiled.

” The child was you Amelia, the child was you and the mark on the ground is the same on your back” he said and she was surprised.

” How… how is…that possible?”

” What are you talking about?” She asked confusedly.

” Yes Amelia, I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you sooner” he said wiping her tears.

” So you’re telling me you’re not my parents….. you’re not my father?”

” I’m your father and you will always be my lovely daughter even though I didn’t give birth to you” he replied.

” So where are my real parents or don’t I have any?…..I can’t just appear from nowhere” she asked.

” I’m sorry dear, I wish I had all the answers….. I’m so sorry to lay this on you, I never wanted to tell you”

” I just want you to have a normal happy life like everyone without feeling different” he said.

” Just stop talking for now……..I still need you with me……I think we should get out of here” she said.

” No, it won’t be long now before I get reunited with my wife, Amelia….I never regretted the day I found you”

” That was the happiest moment of my life and you coming into our lives at the right moment”

” I….Love….. you” he said slowly.

” Please Stop talking an……” She was saying then suddenly an arrow hit him on the chest and he died.

Amelia was taken aback with what just happened and he turned to see four of Bosnak’s men.

” Wh..what have….you done?”

She turned back to look at her father who is dead then she started having her usual feeling from within.

” Aaaaaaahhhhhhh”

She had always fight it back but right now she let it out and her eyes turned black then turned to them.

She stretched out her arm and strangling their neck with her mind and in one wave of her hand, she cut off their heads.

She came out of the mountains and look down to see all of Bosnak’s men and Bosnak himself.

” I WILL KILL YOU ALL”
