Women & the Hunt
There is no day in history that women aren't seen and depicted as temptation, evil or witch. That men are always proclaimed and acclaimed as heroes, saviors, dependable. Women can be good, dependable, responsible, brave, strong and powerful too in their own way. That women too, can endure torture, bullying, all sort of pains, martyrdom and hardships. That women can also be a hero, selfless, dedicated, leader, vanguard, agent of change, light, vicar of truth, etc. She is Fearless, powerful and a Queen, who can face evil, war, danger, the devil head on, without any support from men. She can stand-alone, equip with knowledge, wit, boldness, exquisiteness, intuitiveness, beauty and charm. A woman's heart is deep, soulful. That is why in truth, we can survive alone, unharmed, unraveled, unstirred, undefeated. For, We Are, We Can, We Will.
Maybe the reason why men assumes the throne as king, head, savior or leader in this world is because they are self-less, aggressive and gives off of themselves to a task or goal like a lion patiently waits for his prey or an eagle eyeing his bait to eat it. Women on the other hand can be impulsive, emotional and sensitive. We can be strong and persistent but when our moods get in the way then all will fall or fail due to our emotional baggage or handicap. Yet, if women are trained and honed to be strong and goal oriented, a warrior or soldier who gives up her life, loyalty and freedom for the sake of success and kingdom, we can and we will for the sake of our loves, family, belief, community, even the world. There are women today who give their lives for their passion, work or cause. It just says that girls can uplift each other and work together for one cause. Women can lead, govern and consistently rule a kingdom, government or world for the good, not only of her dominion but for all, men, women, children and elderly, young or old, able or disable.
Haaa…why me? I just want a happy, peaceful, rich and uncomplicated life as a warrior and hunter! I can never escape my fate, the will of the gods that I have been running away from for centuries or maybe for hundreds of years! I doubt that reincarnating as me will be a delightful experience. But being myself has its perks, like the women or girls parading to be with me, haha, not to mention Yuna…Hmm who hates my guts and my charms. Haaa…well we are just a team for the games and nothing personal. But why is it that every time I approach or look at her she turns away or despises my presence. Am I that ugly or annoying that she can't stand being with me? Poor Keyoshi….a puppy who asks a little attention from the girl she likes and adores all her life…and
And what are you doing here?
Ah….Yuna!? Just….just relaxing. I didn't want to disturb you since it's still early. Where are you headed?
It's none of….ah…haaaaa….I will just walk the terrains and maybe practice some hoops or loops. I just want to study and master Yoshi's terrains and rocky formation tracks so we can easily come in and out of there!
Nice!, oh, do you want me to accompany you. Ah…yup, I'll come with you if it's okay!, I humbly insisted.
Okay, but just be quiet. I don't like talking when I'm scouting places. This….zip it. Okay!, Yuna pointing to her lips that meant I need to shut my mouth while we walk the terrains.
Sure, no problem…ahhh yup, zipping it!!!
Yoshi Island is a rocky and complicated terrains that may need mountain climbing abilities to reach one destination to the other. It is consist of foresty plains and rainforests. Creatures like mammals and dragons roam the area for in this era, dragons and wild creatures live and breathe eating animals big or small to survive.
Guard Breakers…
….. will be at the front of Yoshi Island. They are mystical giants that guard the entrance so that mortals like us won't enter it. But since we are in a game, Guard Breakers will let us in but with a password and will try to test us with our intentions. They have a belief that if a hunter's intention is good he or she won't get hurt or die in their hundred times over Ball of Flames and Cold Ice.
Myths say that Leon, the Spirit King who cares for Mimiko with His lion heart protected the land by taking it out and feeding it to the dragon that supposed to burn the entire town during the early times of our civilization, Chief Lolo retelling the story of the Spirit warriors and protectors of Mimiko Island.
It also says and written in our Holy Scroll, that, whoever is chosen to wear Leon's heart is the true champion and will have a great chance to live and survive Yomi Isle. This gold heart will be given among you…After the battle at Yoshi Island, one of you will have a chance to wear this, not only to save you from death but to protect your companion in the hell fires and dark spirits all together! Once the Gold Heart is worn, it usually digs itself hidden into the warrior's skin and slips into his or her own heart that sort of energizes or controls the well-being of the person becoming invincible, strong and unstoppable.
The only problem is, the Heart will feed on to the bearer's mind, heart and soul. His or her intentions should always be good for once the bearer loses him or herself from its enormous power. He or she can be succumbed to evil, selfishness and greed that no one not even Taiyo can stop him or her. So, It's better for me to keep this for now until we have finally reached the utmost end of our battles. But if worse comes to worst I hope will never use this. In the meantime, let's practice jousting and whatever your abilities as warrior hunters. You're all dismissed!, Chief Lolo said and with a worried look he took his gaze off Keyoshi who is destined to wear Leon's gold heart. Keyoshi isn't not his blood child but he loves her like his own and he don't want her to die or lose the battle in Yomi. Dear gods, what can be done here? What can I do to protect Keyoshi from her fate!
