I woke up to the sound of drums. It was so loud that it could damage a person's ear. I quickly remembered that someone was being executed today in the castle grounds, I didn't want to miss it so I ran there. The castle grounds were really far from my house but it wasn't a problem for me because I was trained in martial arts. I ran so swift, steady and fast that my hair couldn't resist the winds. I had very long and silky silver hair which was packed up with a hair pin binding them together. Finally, I reached the castle grounds. "Welcome everyone, as you can see this man right in front of you has been charged for the following offences, firstly he broke into jifang pavilion and stole the elixir of life". The crowd gasped as to what the king had just said. The elixir of life has been rumoured to have been made by Huiliang the greatest warrior twenty-one years ago. It is said that some enemies from the lingchi kingdom attacked his kingdom. All the warriors could not continue fighting because their spiritual energy was weakening. Huiliang could not watch what was happening to their kingdom anymore he gave up his primordial spirit and formed the elixir of life and wiped out the warriors from lingchi kingdom. The king then continued his statement "so today we would be beheading this man in the Prescence of the four elders of this kingdom. The king brought out a card from his pocket and gave the order to execute. As the guards raised the sword to behead the man. An arrow pierced through the guard's heart which made him to fall down lifeless. Everyone one was shocked as a lady from the crowd shouted "run", they all started running but I stayed, I was determined to fight back. The people who shot the arrow came down with a man walking into the castle grounds. The king, guards and warriors were ready to fight, the man who just entered also brought out his sword. The man faced me and I could see hi grey eyes, and Nixon nose with his thin lips, he looked like he was in his late fifties and for a moment I laughed. The man noticed that I was laughing, "hey you girl, what's so funny" I couldn't hear what he said properly because we were a bit far from each other but with his tone I knew I should stop laughing. He walked up to me and pointed his sword at my neck "girl, I'm warning you leave this place or your blood might be the first to stain this new sword I just bought" he said in an angry tone, from the looks of his sword I could recognize that it was from lingchi kingdom, could he be the king of lingchi kingdom, I thought for a moment. He continued his statement, "are you mute or deranged", I'm talking to you and you are just looking at me". S**t, this is the end for this damn I*****c man, the anger was moving through my veins with my blood, "hey, who do you think you are, just because I wasn't saying anything, that doesn't give you the right to diss me, I think you are the deranged one". He was shocked as to what I had just said. He didn't think twice, at that moment he wanted to slit my throat, but my instincts told me, so I immediately backflipped. "You little girl, you've got some skills", I was so angry that I didn't allow my mind to calm down after what he said, "don't blame me for being brutal you old man" immediately I said that I brought my sword out and we began to fight. The king tried to stop us but we couldn't hear him so he flew to where we were and came in between us so we stopped fighting. At that moment, I felt like the world was moving in slow motion, I couldn't help noticing his hazel eyes with his well-structured nose and round cupids bow lips. But I couldn't let my self be deceived by the handsomeness of this king. The king was known to be fierce and a poker face he never really smiled or talked to much people; he didn't really have much friends. "Leader Chong, may I ask why you came here", oh no, the kings voice was so mesmerizing I melted into his sweet voice, he sounded like a fierce angel. "Oh, this man here happens to be one of my subordinates" the leader of lingchi kingdom replied, "so that's why you thought it was the right thing to kill my guard" the king said while looking into the eyes of that so called man who fought me and calls himself the leader of lingchi kingdom, I just knew he was the leader. Leader Chong looked at the man being executed "you wanted to execute my subordinate first, how is it wrong to kill your guard" the king was disgusted as to what the man had just said. "well your so called subordinate stole my elixir" leader Chong kept a quizzical look and argued "well you stole it first, it originally belonged to us" the king couldn't help but talk back "it never belonged to you guys", "Huiliang left it in a place between our kingdoms, so we are meant to share it, the king looked pissed as to what leader Chong had just said, but you could see it in the eyes of the king that he was tired of the argument, since he wasn't that much of a talkative, the king just decided to end it there "Huiliang was originally from my kingdom, the king turned back and walked away as he stated that. Leader Chong didn't see a reason to argue further, so he just took his subordinate. I couldn't help laughing and sticking my tongue out as the leader left. I was on my way back when I heard some villagers screaming, I asked a villager the reason for the commotion but she told me "Run, they're coming, I wasn't really scared so I decided to go further. As I got to where the commotion started from, I saw some men from the Xin men kingdom, they destroyed everything that got in their way on the road. I followed them to their destination and I learnt that they were following the path to the forest. I hid so they won't see me. As they got to the forest, I saw a man in which they threw on the floor. They were torturing him to get some kind of information as of what I could see. But the man was too stubborn he didn't budge. I wanted to step him and beat those men until I saw a man come out of a carriage. "Leave him" the man ordered in a soft tone, I couldn't see his face clearly but I'm happy he's saving the other man who was being bullied, until I heard "bring him to the palace" those men adhered to the word of that man like he was a king or something. "Ahh" I screamed before any other screams could come out; I cupped my mouth with my hand. This darn tree how did I get pierced by it. "who's there".
