The Conqueror Series

Warriors 3

   Before the ladies carried out their plan that night Nabel summoned the courage to confess her feelings to Gizza. When she finished, Gizza slapped her across the face and she fell on the ground. "How dare you speak of love for the men folk?" Angry Gizza asked.

"I don't speak love for them. I speak of one man that has refused to leave my mind. I speak of the prince" said Nabel from where she was sitting on the ground.

"This night we plan to risk our lives to begin the crusade of ending the existence of the men folk. I demand that you remember the promise you made to me Nabel. You will stick by my side in this cause" said Gizza. Nabel nodded from where she is sitting and Gizza shook her head and helped her to stand. "I'm sorry for hitting you Nabel. The rest of the women are ready for this war. I need you by my side. I need your full concentration" said Gizza. She looked at Nabel for a while and added, "you love him so much?"

Nabel nodded.

"Then when we storm the palace of Arika the prince will be first to die" said Gizza before she left Nabel standing there and sobbing silently.

Nabel escaped from the site that night and headed straight to the palace of Arika. Gizza didn't notice this until they were fully prepared to attack the guards at the site. "Where is Nabel?" She asked one of the women.

"Nobody knows" answered one of the women who looked even deadlier than Gizza. Her name was Zina and she was really talented in fighting. Gizza looked at her for sometime and said, "Nabel has betrayed us. Kill her on sight" the rest nodded and the battle at the site started. The guards were taken unaware as most of them were sleeping. They never expected what came to them that night. Their screams and blood formed a night of it's own. Gizza was killing the guards with a lot of hatred in her heart. Zina too was a dancer with swords. The rest of the ladies used their axes well. Soon the guards all lay dead that night. As quite as mice they crept away and headed to the palace of Arika.

When Nabel arrived in the palace of Arika, she captured a servant who came out to draw water outside the palace gates and made her unconscious. She removed her serving uniform and wore it. This helped her to enter the palace but she didn't know where on earth she would look for Prince Davi. She deceived one of the guards who leaked to her that the prince was in cell. She knew that to visit the cell was another risky task but she was determined to rescue that innocent young man. Besides she loved him so very much.

Gizza and her horde crept into the camp outside the palace of Arika. They knew that destroying the army at the camp should be the first and important victory. They first seized the machine of fire balls by silently beheading the guards positioned to guard the machines. They positioned the machines towards the camp and lightened the balls. The lightening of the heavy balls made the soldiers at the camp to react. They sounded the bells but it was too late. Gizza and her horde released the fire balls and they rained from heavens on the tents of the soldiers, burning them to the ground. The screaming of the soldiers reached the palace of Arika. The king woke up immediately and so did the Queen. They looked through the window and were shocked to the brim. The camp was burning.

Nabel knew that Gizza and her gang had arrived and she hastened her steps to the cell.

The camp was burning and Gizza with Zina and few of the strongest women headed towards the palace of Arika.

Inside the cell, in the palace, Prince Davi could hear the commotion.
