Chapter 21

Scene two:

In a little hut deep in the mountain, the little girl was sleeping on a wooden bed next to a wall . She opened her eyes and slowly blanked a few times . It took a few seconds for her blurry vision to adjust . When her vision became clear, she glanced around the room but she was not familiar with the surrounding . Knowing that she is alive and not dead, she pulled herself up looking around trying to figure out where she was . The little girl stood up from the bed and walked out from the small room to the next room . The stove was on but there was no one around, maybe they could be nearby? It was then she heard noises coming from outside . The girl walked outside and saw an elderly woman hauling a log to the little shed .

The elderly woman saw the girl standing in front of the door, "You're awake? Go inside and have some stew . "

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Inside the hut, the elderly lady scooped a bowl of stew and handed over to the little girl, "Eat it all up . "

The little girl reached her hand to receive the bowl, "Ah, thank you . " She looked down at the bowl on her hand with a solemn face and a glint of sadness in her eyes, she continued, "And . . . thank you for saving me . "

The elderly woman glanced at the little girl for a brief moment and muttered, "Hmm . . If you don't have any place to go, you may stay here with me . "

Scene three: On the screen, the word "One year later" appeared .

Deep into the mountain, a boy and his bodyguard was running away from some a.s.sa.s.sins . The a.s.sa.s.sins were closing in on them and soon they were surrounded . The boy unsheathed the sword he had on him and went on defense mode . The a.s.sa.s.sins charged in, the bodyguard blocked the sword that was aiming for the boy . Once he knocked the sword off he s.h.i.+fted his sword to aim for the a.s.sa.s.sin . The a.s.sa.s.sin backed away and at this time, four a.s.sa.s.sins charged in towards the bodyguard . The boy was also fighting and defending the swords coming at him . Soon, they both were overwhelmed by the a.s.sa.s.sins and got split up .

The bodyguard was distracted for a split second s.h.i.+fting his attention towards the boy, "My Lord!" It was then that an a.s.sa.s.sin slashed the bodyguard across the back .

The boy yelled, "Don't worry about me, I can protect myself! Just get them!" It was then that the bodyguard started attacking fiercely, but soon enough, he started to slow down . His cut was bleeding and he was starting to run out of strength .

The boy ran away trying to split up the a.s.sa.s.sins . The best thing to do is run and see if he could take them down one at a time when he is outnumbered . He ran deeper into the mountain and took down the a.s.sa.s.sins one by one .

Soon, the boy was also running out of breath and as he was busy fending the a.s.sa.s.sins coming in front of him, he got stabbed right from behind . It was one of the a.s.sa.s.sins that went down earlier . He probably missed the vital parts when he stabbed the a.s.sa.s.sin, so the a.s.sa.s.sin got back up and stabbed him while he was busy . The boy turned around and thrust the sword right through the a.s.sa.s.sin's throat . The a.s.sa.s.sin dropped dead . Now the boy is injured, his strength is starting to deteriorate and there are still a few a.s.sa.s.sins left . He planned on taking all of them down before going down himself .

At this time, the bodyguard had killed off all the a.s.sa.s.sins on his end but he became too weak to go after the boy . His vision was getting blurry and soon enough, he slumped down to the ground feeling regretful that he could not protect his Lord .

Not far from where the boy is, the girl was out hunting with her bow and arrows . For a whole year, she learned how to survive in the mountain . She learned how to hunt, she learned how to protect herself from the wild creatures in the mountain .

As she was scouting her surrounding for animals, she heard the sounds of swords clas.h.i.+ng . She ran towards the direction of the sword clas.h.i.+ng that was just up ahead of her . The girl hid in the bushes nearby . She saw an injured boy being chased down by four a.s.sa.s.sins . Flashbacks of when she and her older sister was being chased down by their pursuers popped in her mind . Her gaze sharpened and she reached for her bow and arrows .
