Prologue : The Meeting with Destiny
_
Somewhere in Brazil…
In the jungles of Menkragnoti, Brazil, there was a tribe known as Bronze Heaven Warriors. There was a queen named Bianca, along with a king named Caedmon. They were the protectors of the jungle for thousands of years. They were also the protectors of their tribe, keeping the Hell Crows Tribe away. Legend says why the two tribes are fighting is because of a feud that happened long time ago that no one wants to talk about, not even the queen herself. But despite all that, they lived a happy life in the village, along with their daughter, Maya. But little would they know, soon, an outsider named Blake Johnson would help them become the most feared tribe of all the tribes in Brazil.
Somewhere On a boat in The Xingu River…
The trip to Brazil by plane was easy but a boat ride on the Xingu River can be very dangerous enough for the people visiting and the locals. Brazil was a very nice country to be in, but certain parts of the country have tribes that no one is ever allowed to visit, because they have been shrouded in secrecy for thousands of years, especially two of them: The Bronze Heaven Warriors and the Hell Crow Tribe. The Bronze Heaven Warriors were the tribe who always know when to hide from strangers and keep to themselves but the Hell Crows tribe were something to be afraid about especially at night. But despite their differences, they were the most respected tribes, whether they were evil or good.
This is the story of a little girl, rising up to become the most determined princess in her tribe, along with some help from the outsider, known as Blake Johnson.
MEANS OF DAWN: MAYA'S DESTINY:
Chapter 1 - Blake Meets Maya
"Ah, fuck me. I'm lost," said an outsider.
This outsider was Blake Johnson also known as Blade Bandana, the greatest, deadliest fighter out there, and he had just killed Roland to save his town. After he defeated Roland, however, he randomly got teleported to the jungles of Menkragnoti, Brazil, and now, he became lost. He walked around from every corner of the jungle, but no such luck. Blake eventually decided to find something to eat before dark for rumors say that the jungle becomes a hellhole when it's midnight and the local tribes are very vicious and deadly when it comes with strangers but are nice and friendly if strangers don't mean harm to them...and if they followed their rules.
As he walked through the vast majority of the jungle, he went into his backpack and got out some beef, cooked it and ate it to keep the energy going in him. He kept going, looking every which way, but he couldn't find a way out. So he decided to look at the map again, but it didn't help him find a way out, no sir. Not before long, he heard rustling in the bushes and his arm cannon went to "Hostile Mode", and tried to track where the "threat" is. Eventually, his cannon made a loud beep, which meant that he found what is in the bushes. "COME ON OUT! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!" Blake yelled out. But by then, a female warrior gripped her spear and threw it at him, but Blake was too fast and dodged the arrow just before it touched him. The warrior tackled him, however, and she pinned him down.
"Who are you?!" she asked him. "Why are you here?" "DON'T ask me why! I don't know HOW I got here!" Blake exclaimed, putting his hands up. "You're coming with me," she said and knocked him out. Ten minutes later, he woke up to see the tribe's queen, king and daughter. Blake thought to himself, Where the hell am I…? What is this place?
Then suddenly, the daughter of the king and queen spoke first. "Who are you?" Blake had no answer, but he forces it out. "I'm… I'm Blake Johnson…" The princess then reply in a cheerful voice like she was a child. "Hi Blake, my name is Maya and those two over there are my parents!" she said and pointed at the female turtle and male hedgehog who just stared at Blake. Ok… This is getting creepy… But they just waved him off, prompting the guards to take him to the cells. The cells have wooden pillars and grass all around it to make it more naturous. "Mommy, where did Blake come from?" Asked Maya curiously. "Not sure, my little flower, what do you think about this, Caedmon?" Asked The queen. "I have no idea, Bianca, this is very new to me" said Caedmon who is very confused about what just happened. After a few hours of talking about Blake, Caedmon sends out Nalayaka to retrieve Blake and she opens his cell door. "C'mon, let's go. The Queen and King want you," she told him. Blake just gave her a stare, but got up and walked with her to the King and Queen. "Hi Blake!" yelled Maya in a childish manner. Bianca and Caedmon looked at Maya but they said nothing and chuckled a little bit because that's how she acts around new people who she had met before. (Fun fact about Maya for the day. ^^) "We've decided that you can stay as long as you want, until you can find a way out of the forest. But beware of the Hell Crows," Caedmon told him, "for they don't deal with travellers as well as us. They're our sworn enemy." Blake just nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. And with all due respect, I would wish to protect this village with my life until the Hell Crows are terrified of us." The guards heard what he said, and they just smiled. "YAY! OUR NEW FRIEND IS HERE TO STAY!" screamed Maya in happiness. Blake chuckled. What a nice princess, Blake said in his head. Well, at least this village is pretty nice to me. And I wonder what the Hell Crows are exactly. Nalayaka released the ropes from Blake and Blake rested his hands, bowed down to Caedmon, Bianca, and Maya, and then went somewhere. "Mommy, Where's Blake going?" Said Maya in a sad tone. "I don't know, sweetie. But rest assured, he's free to stay," said Bianca. "Ok mommy," said Maya in a happy mode.
Blake came back two minutes later, only to be greeted by Maya with Bianca by her side. "So Blake, where did you go just now?" Asked Maya for she wanted to know where he went to. "I'm afraid that I can't tell you little one. Sorry," Blake said, but he added, "but let's just say I went to a lake. That's all." "Oh ok, do you want to go to the dining hall? We're serving fresh anaconda today," asked Maya in a pleading voice. "Sure, I'm down for that," Blake said, and Maya smiled. They get to the dining hall many minutes later. The chef gives out the anaconda and they all sit down at a table made of wood and grass. "Oh! Anaconda is the greatest meal ever! Especially when it's in season! Including wild boars, alligators, you name it! It's good stuff!" Chirped Maya while eating the anaconda. Blake agreed, saying, "It is pretty good stuff. Back in my day, I had to hunt animals for food when I camp in the forests. It's not easy." Maya didn't really like the thought of hunting animals for food, considering it is what they do to survive, but she just said, "We do the same thing but sometimes, the animals are the reason why we protect the jungles from anyone evil especially since the animals here are going extinct." Blake shook his head, and just kept eating without saying a word. After eating, it was getting late and the tribe throws a huge bonfire dance party in honor of Blake. But after the bonfire dance party, however, a low rumble is heard. A low rumble that shook the guards, Caedmon, Bianca, and Maya in fear. "What is that rumble?" Blake asked. "Mommy..are THEY coming?" asked Maya in fear. Bianca said, "Yes… They are." "Who?" Blake asked once again. "EVERYONE! HIDE NOW! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!"yelled Caedmon and everyone went into hiding except for Blake. Maya tried to run towards him, but Bianca caught her and kept her quiet, because she didn't want her and the rest of her tribe in trouble. Blake turned his hand into an arm cannon, charged it up and waited for the enemy to arrive. Suddenly, the guards of a different tribe came and stood their ground. Blake clenched his fists.
Then, the leader of the unknown tribe then stepped in front of the guards. The guards of the leader bowed down to him. But Blake didn't bow. "Shouldn't you be bowing down to me?" said the leader with a Thor-like voice. Blake didn't say a thing, and just shook his head. "Tsk… Someone may need to teach you some manners, but first, a proper introduction. I am Anpu, the leader of the Hell Crow tribe, enemy of the Bronze Heaven Warriors. And you are?" Anpu asked him. "...Blake. Blake Wilson Johnson," Blake said. "Ah! The Deadliest Fighter! It's a pleasure meeting you!" said Anpu. They both shook hands,and Anpu stepped back. "So… where are the Bronze Heaven Warriors? And where's Bianca?" he asked Blake. Blake gave him a cold-stare, and didn't say anything. "So, you're not gonna talk, huh? Ok. I've got millions of ways to make you talk, but I like to use my FAVORITE WAY…" Anpu said in a menacing way and Maya KNEW what he was gonna do to Blake. She tried to yell for him, but Bianca still kept her quiet.
At this point, they never knew what happened next, but when it did happen, it happened UNEXPECTEDLY…
