" Then watch as I bring you and your cargious down fool!"Ada says he challenges her to do her worst, ordering his men to attack her and her warriors.

Amaka and her men almost conquer the queen's men fighting from dawn to noon …most of her men were gradually getting tired and most dead they had to retreat and wait for the plan B Ada in the other hand was successful in her mission as she order the causality to spread the message to their queen "princess " she had lost few of her men and most injured as they retired back to their agreed camp on getting there her sister was nowhere to be found though most of the warriors testify to seeing her.

"Since she left she is yet to be back." One of the casualties replied pacing up and down. She ordered they take the casualties home and led the new warriors and those healthy should get ready for a random attack.

"For now let me go look for my sister!" She says with a hint of sorrow .

" But you have no idea of where she might be!" The chief warrior says with an injuries all over his chest but she insisted on looking for her sister commanding two able warrior to follow her … searching through the forest and the battle ground they could find no traces of her, checking the lifeless body on the ground they could still not find her thinking the queen might have held her hostage they return back to their hideout.

Amaka had gone deep in the forest. In searching for the purifying plant , several attempts to find the plant proved futile. She started singing and lamenting unknown to her that she had evoked the spirit of the forest as the spirit called out for her.

"What do you wish for?" The spirit asks her .

"I wish to save my people, loved ones and to be strong enough to defeat my enemies!" She answered amidst tears the spirit encouraged her to believe in herself to unlock the inner power in her.

"What power?" She was confused by the spirit answer.

"Power to destroy, fight,tide and love but you can only unseal this power by giving and acknowledging the voice speaking to you right now …get the plant before dawn or watch your people die!"the spirit replied before disappearing.

" Oh my God, heal my broken spirit and set free my burden heart!" These were Amaka prayers as she sits calmly trying to gather her soul and body together, dawn draws near she is yet to get any answer or hear any voice in her, finally she stands up to go when she sees the plant .

"There you are, I've been searching for you!" She speaks to the plant as if it could hear her.

She tried pulling out the plant which was stronger than she thought.

"Show me what you got!" Because of the mysterious words she heard not seeing anyone, she went back to the plant .

"Is this how you will save your people?" The voice asks again this time in a mocking way, Amaka asks it to reveal itself.

"How pathetic of you child , it's almost dawn and your sister is out there. I search for you … your action determines the fate of your sister. "The voice says as its purpose for Amaka to see her sister and other Six warriors heading to Umudike palace.

"I'm Amaka the only surviving lineage of Umudike the daughter of Nnamdi the great hunter, I shall not die ..! My enemies will not succeed over me !! "With this she pulls the plant with much force that she uprooted it, suddenly her wounds were healed and cowries dominated her hairs, appearing before her sister ordering them to go back after hugging narrating her ordeal in the bush they smashed the plant as she uses it to heal the injured warriors, quickly they wound disappears and their strength was renewed .

Dawn the queen had gathered the remaining and some more from her alien marching towards Obiora kingdom as original plan on their but was stopped by the sisters warrior defeating her warriors the queen runs for her life, the news spread like fire to Obiora kingdom dead bodies filled the whole community and villages, the princess becomes furious by this.

"I can't go down alone!!" The princess yells as she goes about killing every living thing on her way heading towards the king's chamber not finding him "coward!!! That's what you are!" She shouts as she wields her sword at the last guard standing after making enquiries about the king. On her way she meets the grand high priest.

"Your days are numbered … you and your mother will pay for the evil you have committed … your body will be served to the vulture !! " He says out of anger she tries to stab the priest who in an instant turns to conspiracy Chief priest which she stabs hard in the chest.

"don't blame me ! "She says the instant she sees what she has done she continues her journey towards the king's hideout.

The sisters heads to the palace only to find dead bodies here and there, searching through the chamber they could only find one surviving guard who informs them the whereabout of the princess, Amaka vanishes to the queen's chamber she takes her along with her to meet her sister as they march chanting the battle song to the king's hideout.

Few meters away from the hideout the Ezenwanyị congratulate the king as she leads him out only to see the princess fighting the guards in company of two masked men.The sisters emerge from the other side commanding silence,they turn around to face them.

"Have always loved you but you chose a low life maid over me!" The princess shouts pointing her sword at him.

"You have no excuse fool" Amaka shouts and Ada nods in agreement.

" And who are you? "The princess asks.

"Well let's leave that for now and get to the business of the day!" Ada asks as they exchange words.

" Am not pathetic … mother might be but am not and I'll never be!" The princess snap whistle summoning more masked men by the sight of this Ada brings out the bow and starts shooting at them while Amake and the others fights them back to back unfortunately one of the masked men s***h Ada from behind, her shout draws Amaka attention without knowing it she cast a spell on the masked men killing every one of them before commencing as she slowly chanting some strange words healing her sisters wounds by this time others were just staring at her.

The princess grabs the king by his collar as she orders them to drop their sword, Amaka brings her mother and kneels her down before everyone.

"Your mother or the king ?" Putting the dagger close to her neck

"Does it look like I care … she can go to hell!" She yells, cutting the king's skin little by little, making it bleed.

"Okay wait let's talk!!" Amaka exclaimed, sitting on the floor signaling the warriors to get ready.

"Perhaps you might be able to pay us better … because we don't kill innocent people. "Ada says with a smile as Amaka.

" So let's start from my captive here … tell me your name and your kingdom and your reasons for committing this huge amount of crime?! " Amaka asks as the queen answers promising to repay the girls randomly only if they help her acquire the power and also to give them half of what she has, they further ask the guard their reason for supporting the queen.

"She offers better than the king and a better life right?" Ada asks as the guards nod in response and they further explain how the queen and her daughter had threatened their family safety by now the princess puts her swords down as she yells at the guards the chief warrior threw a blade across which cut her making her kneel in pain.

"So who are you?" Amaka examines her while the king holds his neck, Ada quickly cleaning the blood and tying cloth around it.

"Does it really matter who I am!" She snaps at Amaka

" Easy girl … you don't talk to my sister like that! "Ada snaps firing a shot at lap as the queen pleads with them not to kill her daughter, Amaka asks her a question she refuses to answer.

" Well you owe me an explanation .!" A voice speaks from the dark side and behold it's was none other Uchenna and his Majesty king of Umudike she smile at her children who had a stone face.

"I know you must have thought I'm dead … but I was saved by this old woman standing before you! "She nods towards the Ezenwanyị mmri the king of Umudike cleared his throat he thanked the warriors and casulities who fought and prayed for those who dead defending their homeland the king of Obiora finally finding his voice.

"Can someone explain what's going on here to Me!" King Udoka asks surprised but the Ezenwanyị order they all rest for the day and the traitor be tied to the marketsquare.

Few weeks after claering and burying the corpses yesterday he explored the princess room only to discover a secret passage way only to find women and some able bodied men chained., Immidately he sets them free and apologized to them before summoning the Ezenwanyị who came in company of uchenna and her children and the king.

"The day the late king he had summoned me, explaining the situation in the palace he futherly ask me to protect uchenna since she might be important in the future! "Looking at the king whose facial expression was void of all emotion has he mention the name.

"My Uchenna!" He calls

"I had to ask the Onuwu to look into the matter only to discover how dangerous the queen is and why she had used her daughter to try get the golden dagger … I had communicated it with the king who asked me to do everything to protect uchenna and her children but to mine surprise one of the child possesses a power enough to protect them so I tame it using it to create a boundary between them … by the king's order you were made impotent! "She said the last bit of it silently knowning the king could get angry by this.

" You made me impotent!!! "The king shouts standing from his throne.

" She did it for you! "Uchenna snaps back.

" But she should have told me! "He fired back sitting down.

" Mother aren't you supposed to angry, this man tried to kill us!!"Amaka yells as uchenna explains it's was the princess who instigated everything and did so by charming the king.
