At the palace the king and the rest of the councilmen are at the meeting when the prince arrived.

” How pleasant for you to finally grace us with your presence” Princess Aurora said smirking.

” Forgive me father, I was caught up with some things but I came as soon as I can” he replied.

“Indeed” Aurora added.

” Shut up” he snapped at her.

” Enough, both of you……sit down Niklaus” the king said and he sat down.

” We are just concluding the meeting when you entered” the king said again.

” What’s the meeting all about?” The prince asked.

” It’s about our annual fight contest between the villages coming at the next full moon” the king said.

” Oh, that’s true…….so what’s the plan?” He asked.

” Well, we decided to let you handle it since you’re the heir, you should know more about our culture” the king said.

” Thank you Father, But I don’t know what to do or where to start” he said.

” Don’t worry, your sister is there to help you……I want you two to handle things this time around” the king replied.

” Yes Father, I will” he said smiling.

” I know you will and I’m looking forward to seeing it, i will send word out to the all the villages”

” Okay father”

Amelia’s POV
.
I moved my leg forward gently in other not to alert the antelope of my position as I relax my arm as I was about to shoot the arrow.

I watched the animal very well then took a deep breath then fire the arrow which went straight to it’s neck.

‘ yes’ I uttered in excitement then ran to the animal and realized it’s still breathing so I finished it off completely.

Today has been a great day so far, I’ve been in the forest since the midnight hunting and it’s been good.

Now, I caught an antelope, Four Rabbits, and three raccoons,and that should be enough i think I’m done for today.
.
My name is Amelia and I’m a hunter just like my father.

At a very tender age my father had thought me everything it is about hunting and now I took over from my father.

My mother died when I was four years old and which made my father took up the responsibility.

It’s also one of the reasons why I decided to become a hunter in other to help my father.

My father was once a swordmaster with a great fighting skills but when my mother died he stopped fighting.

I had to catch some sizeable amount of animals to sell in the market in other to make some money.

And today has been great just like always.

Immediately I’m done piling them together I carried them on my back and made my way out of the forest.

I was whistling along as I walk until I saw some people with a very angry look on their faces and I know the reason.

Since I became a hunter they’ve been very angry with me, he and his friends always try to criticize me.

They reported me to the chief so many times but it’s unavailing because it’s a useless accusation.

Ashur and his three friends called me an abomination to hunting because I always catch more than them.

” Ashur, what is the meaning of this?” I said because they blocked the road.

” You’re going no where, not until you give us those animals” one of his friends replied while they stare angrily at me.

” Is this supposed to be a joke?…..why would I do that?” I asked back.

” I warned you I don’t want to see you in this forest or any other forest in this village but you refused” Ashur said angrily.

” You’re an abomination to hunting, women aren’t supposed to be hunting, you’re ruining business for us” ashur said.

” Ever since you started we bare caught anything, we don’t even see any animal, you make them run” he said.

” You’re such a delusional boy, which law says women shouldn’t hunt?,”

“If men are supposed to do everything then what should women do?” I asked.

” And I didn’t do anything to the animals, I went deep into the forest to catch what I caught”

” you’re just a group of lazy men unable to do anything but put blame on anyone” I replied.

” Drop those meat or we are going to do this the hærd way” he said sternly.

” Look Ashur, I don’t have time for this……I need to go home, My father must be waiting for me” I replied.

” Take it from her” he said to one of them and he came forward.

” You don’t want to do anything crazy boys” I said then as the boy made to take the meat I punched him on the face.

” I won’t let you take this……I work hærd for this” I said dropping the meat then folded my hands in intending to fight back.

Ashur and others charged at me and I dodged the first man then kicked him on his knees.

I turned swiftly kicking the other boy on the chest and made a backfl¡ps along with that.

Ashur and another boy charge at me and I dodged all their advancement then kick him on the face.

I grabbed ashur by the neck and punch him several times on the face till his nose started bleeding then punch him to the ground.

The others stood up and charged at me and I I tried to dodge all their advances and in one swift movement punch them till they are unable to stand.

” Sometimes you have to work hærd to acquire success don’t try to steal it, being lazy won’t do you any good” I said then went to pick the meat and left.

My father won’t be happy if he learnt that I got into a fight, he has warned me specifically about that.

The reason is understandable but what can I do in a situation like this, I can’t just let those boys treat me anyhow.

I have this powers in me that make me control things in my mind, I can make this happen without saying a word.

My father also told me not to let anyone know about my powers and also not to use them around.

I haven’t mastered or take total control of it but when I got very angry I seems to be able to control it with ease.

But when that happens a lot of damage must’ve been done, because I don’t have total control of myself.

My father knows about this which is why he warned me not to get into a fight which might lead to my anger.

I’m also scared of myself when I’m angry because it’s like I becomes someone else at that moment.

Which is why I’ve been trying to avoid fight and I’ve been trying to fight back without triggering my anger.

Ashur and his boys have always been coming at me taking my hærd earned meat every time and I had to do something.

The reason my father thought me how to fight was because I might be in danger and needed to defend myself.

If I can’t defend myself it will only lead to my dark side doing it for me and that might end ugly.

My father taught me how to fight even before I became a hunter, he taught me how to shoot an arrow.

He taught how to fight with my bare hands and also with swords to defend myself without triggering my anger.
.
Few minutes later I got back into the village and head over to our house and I met my father chopping woods.

” Father, I’m back” I said then he turned towards me.

” Amelia, oh bless the gods, the gods really favoured us these past few days” he said.

” Yes Father, these should make us alot of money today” I replied.

” Yes it will, why don’t you have your bath and have your breakfast” he said collecting it from me.

” Okay,” I replied then storm off to my room.
.
Some hours later after I’m done with my breakfast, and ready to go to the market with my father.

” Father I’m ready” I said to him.

” Not yet Amelia, these are the list of people owing us and you know they won’t pay unless we go to them” he said.

” Okay Father” I replied.

” Good, you can come to the market afterwards” he said then he left and I also did a while later.
.
I went to all the people on the list and collected every money they owe us and made my way back to the market.

On my way I was crossed by Ashur and his friends again and this time around he’s with his older brother.

” Ashur?… you’re full of surprises…..a girl beat you up and you went to call your big brother” I said smirking.

” So it’s you Amelia, you do this to my brother?” The man man.

” They are trying to take advantage of an innocent girl, you should be beating them for having their asses kicked by a girl” I replied.

” Just because you got some skill you think you can harass anyone?…..maybe we should teach you lesson”

He said then made to grabbed me by my neck but I was fast enough to caught his hand then twisted it.

” Aaahh” he scre-med loudly then I punched him on the face then he went down.

” Looks like you also got your a** kicked by my a girl” I replied then turned to leave only to see more of his friends.

I looked around and see that I’m outnumbered and there’s no way I can take on them alone.

” Get her” Ashur’s brother shouted and they all came at me.

I turned then started running away, ashur tried to stop me then I punched him again on his banged nose.

They all keep running after me around the village but I didn’t stop running and they are not ready to stop as well.

One of the took a shortcut and came before me then I picked up a stick and smash him on the head.

This only made them yearn to catch me but I won’t give them that satisfaction.

I realized I can’t run forever because I’m getting tired already, then I noticed a large crowd up ahead then I went to join them.

I made my way through the crowd till I got the view of what was happening.

It’s a fight between two men and i think it’s because of the upcoming fight contest in the kingdom.

I looked around to see my chasers but I can’t find any of them so I decided to stay there to watch how the fight goes.

Only the big guys was having the upper hand in the fight, infact the fight is boring to watch.

I wonder what they could be watching and cheering in this because it’s so lame,

which explains the reason why our village has never won anything in all the years of the competition.

” Our village is definitely going to win this contest this season, Logan is such a fine fighter” the lady beside said excitedly.

” You this man is going to make it to the final?” I asked.

” Yes of course, he already fought against five men today and he came out victorious” she said.

” Well we should wish him all the best” I replied then focus on the fight.

Everyone cheered when Logan beat down his opponent to the ground.

” I told you didn’t I” the lady said with so much excitement.

” Then we should be happy the gods gave us someone as Logan to fight for our village” I replied.

” Yes we should” she replied.
.
” IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE ME?” Logan shouted.

” COME OUT NOW……IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE IT IN YOU” he shouted again but no once came out.

” Look like the fight is over since no one is coming out ……. I’m going to the ma…..”

I haven’t completed my sentence when some pushed me which made fall to the ground and rolled down till I met myself in front of the fighting stage.

I turned to my attacker and see Ashur smirking at me, then I turned to see everyone staring at me.

‘ oh-ohh…..this is not good’
