Chapter 1:

She stood with her sword in the middle of the dirty square. It had been a long day and business was slow. A group of tall dangerous looking pirates walk by talking boisterously, her eyes focused on the leader and she smirked. She took a breath and cupped her hands to her mouth, what she was about to do could get her killed. "Fight," She yelled "test your sword play, winner gets a gold piece!" The man and his friends scoffed." Afraid to lose to a girl," she challenged? "I ain't afraid of no one", he growled laying a bag of gold by their feet with a mean smile, and she noticed that many of his teeth were missing. Whoever wins pays double he said, She shrugged this was what she had been hoping for. This man didn't know it yet but he was buying her dinner. She stepped back into a guard stance the smile never leaving her face. He charged at her his sword pointed at her chest, she blocked the attack and stepped back her sword swung in a silver ark ending with the tip of her sword at the base of his neck. "You lose" she said still grinning; this was turning out easier than she thought. "I will not lose to a girl" he yelled. She scowled forget what I said about easy she thought.

"No swords then" she challenged, he threw away his sword in response. The circled each other, she kept her hands up waiting for an attack. He threw insults at her trying to distract her, it didn't work. She didn't care what he thought about her. She kept her eyes on his chest waiting for the ripple of muscles that would telegraph a punch. He punched at her face trying to catch her off guard. She grabbed his hand and used his momentum to flip him over her shoulder and on to his back. He looked up at her dazed; she smiled down at him and promptly broke his nose. Then she grabbed her sword and bag of gold and ran. Around the corner of an alley a boy with sun browned skin and black hair watched her go a ghost of a smile on his lips as he faded into the shadows.
