The Cursed Slaughter
“You don’t want to embarrass me in front of our guest, do you?”
Lena’s eyes are drawn to this ‘guest’. A confident and well-built man with curly brown locks for hair and broad shoulders that could take up a space for two. Gold armour hugged his figure and gold jewellery was interwoven in a side braid. This esteemed guest was the general of the royal kingdom’s military army. He was only second to the king, earning his place as general rightfully so.
His famous sword complimented his gold armour perfectly.
Despite their obvious difference in status, rank, and appearance, Lena diminished any doubt as she thought to herself, ‘I could take him in a fight.’
Just as she thought so, General Nabeel lightly choked on the bread he was eating. Seeing his current state, Lena passed him the jug of water from across the table. Their eyes met for a moment as he thanked her, just so, Lena had another thought, ‘And I’d win, easily.’
…..
Lena, a 22 year old girl returning to her home village after her five year enlistment in the military, only to find her family and towns people slaughtered, as well as a curse awaiting her.
