HONOR

CHAPTER THREE

With bloody and cracked lips, broken ribs and swollen eyes, she stood up slowly against her opponent, fists up, she was not giving up easily, she needs to win, she needs to make the General happy and to be proud of her. "Stay down noore, I don't want to cripple you" warned Zara her sparing opponent, she turned her back to the bleeding Noorebella and started smiling with her training mates.

"Am not done yet" and down she felt breathless, staggering to get up on her legs, she was so determined, her spirit fighting to be unleased, but her body couldn't handle it, tears threatened to flow down her cheeks, but she was not having it, not now, not today. She prayed in her head to the goddess not to disappoint her at her time of need to uplift her family name, her muscles screamed in pain and agony, blood rushed out her mouth and she licked it back, smiled through her blood-stained teeth, " I said am not done yet "

Surprised by her courage Vica who had turned around not to watch the embarrassment, held admiration for Noorebella for the first time in her life of knowing her, she moved to get a clearer view of what she knew will be a great fight, the yard tripled in it audience. Noorebella balanced herself on her good leg and sucked in the air so hungrily, she knew she will feel more pain but she will gladly accept anything that comes her way, first punch by Zara and she ducked, landed her ribs with a blow so fast and so powerful Zara spit blood, Noorebella went back calculating her next steps targeting Zara's weak spots she jab her stomach looking for an easy win and Zara landed a blow on her face, adding two and three, Noorebella skin cracked blood oozing out, she was getting weaker and weaker , taking long breath and clearing her head she threw a blow and Zara's screams in pain her ribs broke, that was her chance , Noorebella landed quick punches unto her face, blackening her eyes, blocking any chances Zara had of retaliating, and adding a knockout, Zara was out cold on the floor, loud cheers followed Noorebella vision blackened and out she went…

Vica was impressed by the two fighters as how they have improved these two months "get them treated" she ordered, smiles beaming on her lips. She has been training these young ones and they were building up faster than her old students making her proud, she went into her tent remembering when she had her first fight with Rotama, it was also one of the best the camp has seen they fought till they couldn't stand on their feet anymore, but still didn't give up. And on the war zone was even spectacular, she and Rotama had each other's back and were fighting like they had been possessed , they defeated their enemies time and time again and the praises sang on their names were heavenly until she got that disease, eating her sanity away and making her deadly to her companions on the battlefield, she couldn't stand her ground and had most of her mates killed, being in camp was the only way for her to redeem herself and be useful to her people but she still miss the sounds of war, the drums , the armor , the feeling you get that maybe , just maybe today may be the final day you breath your last breath, but you wouldn't trade it for anything in the world , it was you and the gods gambling on your life, she miss it so much but there is nothing she could do about it , Training the next warriors was now her responsibility and she will skinned them alive if need be to shape them out perfectly.

"Are they back yet, is the Dragon army back " The King has been asking for ages, what is happening, did they win or lose the fight to the Kecaxoss, he needs to know, but no one answered, he threw the cup and it hit the wall spilling it contents unto the floor. "Get me some fucking answers "he ordered his servant, King Badu took his sword, moved and stood outside his castle overlooking the sea, he had a bad feeling, and it was not good. His hand shook with the weapon, he needs to kills something or someone, he turned and walked fast into the dungeon of the castle, his eyes moving through the cells searching and it landed on them, he got them kidnapped when they refuse to give their daughter hand's in marriage to him, he opened the cells and locked himself with them, screams were heard after a minute, he came out and swiped his face, feeling good and calm he left the massacre behind. "Clean it up and keep your idiot mouth shut" Maximus ordered the servants and hurriedly followed the King out "My King what happened" he asked his brother wanting to know why he had killed yet again "Maximus, I have not heard from the Dragon army, I don't know what is going on and I have a bad feeling about it , what if they have been defeated , what if they are all killed " King Badu paced up and down in the gathering hall , his brain messed up, he needs to know what has happened, "My King I never knew you care that much for the warriors "Maximus questioned because his brother has never given any care to his people "I don't give a damn about those whores, I just want to know if they have fucking won or not"

Rotama face grew madder, her body shaking with fury "Us whores, have won your war, your majesty" This idiot prick, they were out dying and shedding blood for this damn kingdom and he doesn't have any respect for their sacrifice, their death, their wounds and their scars mapped on their skins to remember them of their pain and here he is, spitting on their hard work, she turned around with her bloody armor and joined her warriors outside, marching them home…
