It was the early hours of the morning , the chirping of birds could be heard , although it's not yet bright but the sky was somewhat clear making it possible for one to see .
Sitting under a tree with her back rested on the truck of the tree , her brown hair which was tied in bun has been let loose as it fell hopelessly down , the hair was as messy as the owner who apparently was comfortably sleeping under that tree , her eyes while shut and it remained like that , it was almost impossible to say that this was the only daughter of the southern master general , apart from the expensive cloth and jewels she had on one would never could have guessed right . Her long lashes felt wet , she might be having a really good dream since she smiled weirdly .
Feeling something cold going down her arm , she was jolt back to reality only to realise what it was , shocked and frightened she screamed and fling her arms causing the snake to fall off , she was way to frightened that she didn't notice how surprised the snake might have been as it took off but she really cared less , she ran in the opposite direction , not caring about where she was heading to , she had gone half way only to realise that she didn't take whatsoever thing she rapped in that faded brown cloth .
Frustrated as she was she contemplated whether to go back for the stuff or leave it there . Ahhh her father is definitely going to kill her if she leaves it there but what if the snake bits her ? . The situation she was in was far more worse than having to runaway from home .
Ahhh!!!!
Frustrated , she began to drag herself towards direction where she came from , it's better to die in the hands ...no... mouth of a snake than in the hands of her father . Moments later , she finally came to the spot where she was sleeping and there it was , her family heirloom . Picking it up she felt relived as she dust it , it will really be a disaster if she was to lose this . Turning back to the direction which she came from , she saw one of the precious stone which was used to decorate her hair , Oh so she still has this ? carefully she picked it up and also removed the once round her neck and ear , she equally removed the remaining once on her hair . Good at least this will be enough for her to survive before thinking about what to do . She packed everything and rapped it using the same faded brown cloth . Satisfied with her work she proceeded to walking quickly in case the snake comes back .
By the time she got to what seems like a pathway the sun was already up and shining brightly in the sky , like it didn't almost killed the earth yesterday with rain . She was sweaty and tried of walking for hours , her feet hurts and she was greatly thirsty and hungry , okay now she's having a rethink about leaving home , but wait , she wants to be a warrior right ? imagine this to be a battlefront will she tell her enemies to wait let her eat , rest or drink water ? but c'om !! this is no battlefield , how is she supposed to survive without food and water .
As tried as she was ,she squat in the middle of the pathway hopeless .
" Ah !! heavens is this how am going to die ? i was thinking i would die in a battlefront not in the middle of nowhere " she lamented . It felt like heavens heard her cries because coming towards her was a carriage with two horse , she stood up immediately and started to wave at the coachman to stop . When the carriage was close enough the coachman pulled the reins causing the horse to stop .
" Good day kind sir , please can you drop me off at the nearest town ? " she pleaded , she had expected the man to say a big fat no but shockingly he obliged . She was extremely excited as she pulled the door of the carriage open only for her to be greeted by a well dressed lady , who should be her age . The lady was just so beautiful that for a minute she forgot how to breath .
" stop staring and come it " the alluring , sweet melodious voice of the lady said , as if she has been placed under a spell, she climbed into the carriage and sat down , the coachman took off immediately he was certain that she was already sited .
Inside the carriage , she kept on staring at this strange beautiful lady , it was as clear as daylight that the lady must be from a wealthy family , the cloth she had on was made of fine silk , her flaming red hair was tied up in ponytail using a blue ribbon , her cloak had a phoenix siege drawn on it which drew her attention . Phoenix , no nation has that as their siege or is it just a pattern , no way , she knows a siege when she sees one and this is no cloth design .
" with the way you're staring i might get the wrong idea " the Lady said with the brightest and beautiful smile that can melt the heart of a ragging monster .
" am Glorious by the way , what's your name ? " .
