More confusion for Zurie as she learns about Amaya from her mother

" Amaya ? ( She repeated after her mother ) you know Amaya ? " Zurie asked with her eyes still widened.

" Just listen to me Zurie, I do not have so much time to be here. ( The woman spoke calmly, her voice echoed all the more. ) I cannot be here for long. "

Zurie nodded, swallowing really hard.

" Long long ago in the ancient City of Dahlia, there lived two sisters. Now I must make you understand that this place wasn't like our own world, it was the world of friendly spirits. Females ruled the world. They were great Amazons, they fought with great vigor and zeal. They were greatly feared. They all hailed from the great tribe of the kente's. They all lived and dwelt peacefully in harmony. They never went to any battle afraid, because they were confident that the beautiful flower spirit was always there to guide them all through the way. No one dared to compete with them as their strength was matchless. " She paused a bit

" They were of the same tribe ? Kente tribe ? " Zurie asked very perplexed

" All from the same tribe my dearest zurie. " Her mother replied.

" Why are you telling this story again mom ? " Zurie asked interrogatively

" Like I said, I do not have a lot of time for explanations, just listen. I am very certain that sooner or later you will be thankful I told you this story. " Her mother replied.

" They didn't have a mother or father. They weren't concieved even, they blossomed as the flowers blossomed, it is the very secret to their exceptional beauty. They were immortals that once they blossomed, they do not die, they just fade, that is their spirit evaporates and they go to another invisible world, but one point to note, is that they never go into extinction. Every Amazon from the tribe of kente referred to themselves as sisters, for they respected sisterhood. Although in their world, they weren't conversant with terms such a younger or older siblings, but they had a way of calculating their hierarchy. Their age was calculated according to the time of their blossoming. No one longed to be higher than each other regardless. They just enjoyed their fight all the day long, and they were never defeated. Amaya and fiona blossomed almost at the same season, that was the reason for their extreme closeness, their bond was unbreakable as nothing could ever come between them"

" Things continued smoothly until the flower spirits did something unusual. She appointed Amaya leader over the Amazons. It was not so suprising, as Amaya had mastered the skill of sword fighting. She would lead them to several wars successfully and never slacked when there was an invasion into their tribe. There was yet another tribe in the beautiful city of Dahlia. It was the tribe of Dawa. "

" It was only men that lived in the tribe of Dawa. They were warriors as well. There has been an history of the Kente and Dawa tribe, owing to their closeness. I mustn't forget to add that the Amazons were not permitted to fall inlove untill they had successfully taken down a hundred men at war. And then they were only permitted to fall inlove with men from the Dawa tribe. The men from Dawa tribe were beautifully handsome. Their bodies were well built, and there wasn't a short one in their midst. You know it is like when you young girls of this days, says that you want tall and cute guys to love. "

Zurie sighed, she was greaty confused, but sadly she would not even get good reply from her mother if she tried to ask any question at all.

" It was very tempting falling in love with one out of the men from the tribe of Dawa, infact so many Amazons fell a prey, but were dealt with severely. They lost their status as an Amazon and was sent into extinction. It was an unforgivable and unforgettable offense Zurie "

Zurie's mind skipped a bit. Everything her mother was saying about Amaya wasn't tallying with anything Fiona had said to her. Her head was running topsy turvy

" Fiona had become really jealous of Amaya, but she couldn't do anything much. One time Amaya almost got killed on the battle front, as it was just she and Fiona that was left to yet another strong Amazon that invaded their tribe. Fiona faked an injury, but as usual, after a long fight, Amaya was victorious again. "

" Fiona's jealousy aggravated, when the most handsome soldier from the noble tribe of Dawa, fell inlove with Amaya. Amaya willingly accepted as she was ripe to fall in love. Fiona felt very pained and jealous, because she was due as well and no one was coming for her. Fiona had crushed on him for such a long time, and was certain that she was going to be his lover when the time was right. She couldn't hold in any more. She confronted Amaya aggressively about stealing her dream life. They fought for days, Amaya defeated her, but spared her Life because of her kindness. Fiona fled Dahlia and kept mute for many years.

" Amaya enjoyed her peace. The Kente and Dawa tribe enjoyed peace without bias. After many years fiona returned. She had become possessed with dark powers. Amazons of the Kente tribe never had mystical powers, they were creatures that were just blessed with immense fighting prowess. "

" Amaya and fiona fought for days, Fiona's quest was to capture the Kente tribe, and then take back her crush, or rather the man she loved. "
