Chapter 1- New Warrior of Wei
Year 184; Ancient China- Han Dynasty
In a small village in the northeast of China, there was destruction and chaos. People and children were screaming and crying, homes were being burn to the solid ground, and dead, bloody bodies of both peasant and solders in purple were scatted all over the ground like grass. A small group of men, women, and children tried to escape from this massacre, but there were cut down by a large group of soldiers in yellow.
This was no ordinary army, this is the tragic raid of the Yellow Turbans with their religious priest/leader of 'The Way of Peace' Zhang Jiao. The raid of yellow who killed the miniscule group of peasants charged into the large landscape below, while their leader stayed behind on a large stone platform. Many more bodies were seen falling to the soil and painting the bright green grass with crimson blood.
The yellow soldiers were about to kill another small group of citizens, but were slain by three large figures in green warrior attires protecting the people. In the front is 'The Man of Virtue', Liu Bei with his duel swords. On his left was one of his sworn brothers; a large red skin man with a long, black beard, and a long, huge halberd called ' The Blue Dragon', it was Guan Yu ' The God of War'. The other man to Liu Bei's right was his other sworn brother; had big muscles, spiky, black beard, red skin, a jug of rice wine, and a spear in his hand, he is 'The Drunken Warrior' Zhang Fei.
On the left side of the village, was a man on a snow white stallion galloping toward a herd of yellow turbans. The yellow soldiers were trying to stop the white mare, but were all cut down by the man on the horse. He had sun tan skin, white messy hair, small white goatee, wore red armor with a red cape, and a curved sword in his hand; he is the Sun Jian 'The King of Wu' and 'Tiger of Jiang Dong'.
At the outskirt of the village, was a ocean of men in blue armor ready to fight the yellow fiends. In the very front of the blue soldiers was a man; his skin is light tan, a thin black mustache, black hair in a bun with two long bangs, wore deep blue armor, and rode a black stallion with his sword in hand, he is 'The Hero of Chaos' Cao Cao. Along with him are his two generals, Xiahou Dun with his sword on his broad shoulder, and his brother Xiahou Yuan with his bow and arrows.
(Thorns' appearance)
The blue vertex from the museum appeared in the middle of a forest and shot out a red light before it vanished. The crimson light departed after it crashed into the soil, leaving behind a feminine form in red scrunched up in dirt. The lady in red,Thorns, rose off the dirt with her face smudged with dirt along with the front of her clothes. She wiped the dirt off her face with her coat's sleeve, then dusted off the damp soil off her clothes. When her clothes were cleared from dirt, she looked around her surroundings to see where she was, but her conclusion stated that she was in a forest.
'DAMN IT, DEA AND DIA! MAKE SOME PORTALS THAT DON'T SPIT YOU OUT!' Thorns shouted in her mind with frustration. Suddenly, she heard a loud clangs of metal coming from ahead. Without hesitation, the angel/demon female ran to where the commotion was occurring. When she reached its destination, she saw the sight of man in blue with a large sword cutting down some soldiers in yellow.
Xiahou Dun swung his large sword at another group of yellow turbans, killing them instantly. One soldier came up behind him about to put a spear in Dun's back, but failed as Dun blocked the attack and sliced the yellow raider across the torso. The man fell to the ground as blood spored out of him. Cao Cao's cousin began to look for Yuan, but stopped dead in his tracks when he sought a bright color from the corner of his eye...the color red.
He turned his head toward the color and the sight of a girl on the battlefield wearing the crimson color came to view. The girl looked as if she was 18 or 19, had light tan skin, long red hair in a ponytail, and wore red clothing with her red boots. Dun thought female was a soldier from Wu who was lost, but she didn't look lost nor look like she came from Wu.
'Who is she and what is she here for?' The Wei warrior pondered.
"Hey Dun!" shouted the Wei archer, Xiahou Yuan as he ran to Dun's side. "Whatch looking at?" He questioned and followed his brother's gaze until he too saw the red girl. "Who the hell is she?" Dun just shrugged his shoulders.
"Who ever she is, I have no doubt that she is with the enemy." Without thinking, he rose his sword and charged at the unknown female. When the swordsman was in a close radius of her, he brought his weapon into the air and swung his sword down at her head.
CLANG!
Thorns knew the blue general was aiming at her, thinking she was the enemy and defenseless. Unfortunate for the brunet, she had already summoned her trusted weapon; two metal, spiked clubs 'Heaven's slayer' from the scarlet energy from her inhuman form. Her senses were telling that the man is coming closer to her presence. The red head body felt the wind from man's sword coming down to her head, but she quickly spun around and used her clubs to hold the large sword in a deadlock.
Thorns and Xiahou Dun stared at each other with hatred and amusement, while their weapons were trying to dominate the other. Eventually, they broke the strong deadlock and jumped back from one another. The Wei general smirked at her, finding she had her guard up all this time. He went into his offensive position before he began to speak.
"Hmpf. You should know better than to be on the fields of battle little girl!" The red clothed girl stood silent. "Tell me, who are you and why are you here?" The sword wielder demanded.
"And you should be know better than to try to pick a fight with me!" Thorns countered back at Dun. "I am Eternity Thorns; I have traveled all this way to battle along side Lord Cao Cao, and I want you to take me to him. Now." She demanded, ready for his next attack.
Dun ran forward, quickly closing the distance between them and slashed at her head again with sudden speed, but to Dun's surprise Thorns dodged by stepping to the right. His sword swung to the right with a little more speed, but failed as she stepped back. The strong general started doing multiple attacks and combos, however none have touch the red eyed girl. Other soldiers from Dun and Yuan's unit were flabbergasted at Thorns for not taking any attacks from their fierce generald. Also, this was the first time in years anyone has ever dodged from the man's quick and blood spilling attacks.
The cousin of Cao Cao was close to becoming fatigue from putting too much power into his attacks, while Thorns on the other hand didn't look tired at all and barely used her clubs.
'Shit! I'm almost fatigue from this useless fight and that red piece of horse's ass has not attacked me yet.' He pondered in thought. 'Wait is this part of her strategy or is she messing with me?' His thoughts were interrupted by a sharp pain in his rectum. Dun looked down to see the right metal club was attached there and little gush of blood painted the spikes. "How did you...?" He was cut off by the red girl.
"You are too fatigue, which will cause you to lose your guard." She explained. Thorns rose her right foot to hit Dun's chin sending him into the atmosphere. The Eternity princess jumped after him until she was close to his face. The next attacks made a huge impact on the warrior; her left club smashed at his right hip braking a bone, the blood stained club slammed to Dun's left arm, while Thorns did a back kick to his head. The massive inpact was so strong, it made Xiahou Dun fall back into the earth below with a bang.
Evidently, Thorns saw how much damage she put on the man and knew she had to stop or he be dead. The female of red landed back on the earth with a soft thud, while looking at the man covered with bruises and little blood on his clothes. The man with the bow and arrow ran to Dun's side and helped him to his feet.
"Hey brother, are you alright." concerned for the mighty warrior.
"Will...be," he panted. "once I kill that red bitch." about to charge again, but was held back by Yuan.
"Dun don't push yourself, we have a battle to attend to remember." He turned toward the scarlet female. "Thorns right? You said you are here to fight for Lord Cao Cao correct?" Thorns nodded yes. "Hahaha, then come with us back to the Imperial main camp, Cao Cao should be there by now." whistling for his and Dun's horses' to come over, while letting his big brother go as Dun growled in distaste.
The injured warrior looked back at the inhuman girl with hatred in the eyes. Thorns didn't look fazed by the sudden glare of Xiahou Dun, but she impersonated his glare with her own. The older male huff at her before limpimg back to his hazelnut mare.
"Lets get going little brat." he demanded, while saddling his horse before riding off ahead. Yuan did the same, but motioned for Thorns to get on his. She did and the two rode to catch up with Dun.
Imperial Main Camp
"Lord Cao Cao, generals Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan have returned milord." a blue soldier inform Cao Cao, who was sitting at a table inside a big blue tent. "They have also brought someone along with them my lord." the warlord quirked an eyebrow in amusement.
"Really now?" Cao Cao said impressed. "Bring them here, I wish for them to tell about this new warrior." the private bowed low and left to fulfill his task. Few moments later, the Xiahou brothers entered their Lord's tent and bowed before sitting. Cao Cao's attention was on the bandage around abdomen.
"What happened to you Xiahou Dun?" the brunet crossed his arms and growled.
"Yuan?"He gazed at the other man.
"Cousin has two bruises and a small bloody wound from the new incomer." The 'Hero of Chaos' chuckled and another loud growl came from his feierce cousin.
"This new warrior must be strong, if he can defeat you Dun." He chuckled again.
"Um...Lord Cao Cao." The warlord looked at Yuan. "Umm...'he'...is a 'she'. Their lord froze for a few seconds before questioning.
"WHAT?" The King of Wei shouted. "'SHE' a girl kicked your ass cousin?" Dun nodded while staying quite, but quickly added.
"I didn't lose to her though...it was a minor fight I was still conscious to fight her." Lord Cao Cao understood.
"So Yuan, would you please vouch for her and tell me of the battle between this girl and Xiahou Dun." He commanded and Yuan began to everything to his lord. After the long explanation of the unfortunate events, the 'Hero of Chaos' nodded in amusement before calling for his guards.
"Bring forth the new warrior in the camp. She is the one in red." the guards bowed low before taking off. "Cousins, please leave me to myself. I want to determine whether she is worthy to fight along side me and this army." The swordsman and archer bowed good bye and exited their lord's quarters. Cao Cao pondered his thoughts together on who this new soldier might look like and what she is capable of.
The flaps to his tents opened and the feminine warrior entered before bowing in respect to Lord Cao Cao. The powerful man took sight at the girl's features; she looked like a young adult, light tan skin, ruby eyes, long scarlet hair in a high ponytail with four long bangs hanging off her face, crimson lips, and she wore an emotionless expression. Then he looked at her clothes, they were red with some gray on them, but he did like her top because it showed upper breast. However, he was surprised to see no scratches, cuts, bruises on her body as if Dun hasn't land one solid hit on her.
"Please sit." Thorns sat on the other side of the table, her gaze not leaving the warlord. "What is your name young lady?" He questioned the youth.
"I thought Xiahou Yuan or Dun told you who I am." she remarked.
"I want hear it from you." He replied calmly, while studying the expression in her ruby red eyes. 'She has the eyes of a warrior with both power and ambition...just like I.' He pondered in astonishment.
"I am Eternity Thorns." She introduced herself and Cao Cao nodded.
"Xiahou Yuan has told me of the battle between you and Xiahou Dun. I'm impressed you held your ground against him, yet seeing you have no marks from his attacks makes me more impressed." He praised her, but she stayed silent. "You know Dun is one of my fierce warrior in my army, anyone in your age would be slain by him in seconds." Cao Cao stated.
"Hmm, I did not know that." she did a little smirk before she chuckled. Lord Cao Cao chuckled along with her. "I give my apology for harming your best warrior." The scarlet young adult bowed in apology.
"I shall accept it." Cao Cao smirked. "Lady Thorns, I may not have known you since you got here, yet I can see a very uprising potential within you. This is quite rare to be seen in one so young like yourself."
'You have no idea.' Thorns spoke in her mind.
"Please tell me, why is it that you wish to provide me?" The older man questioned.
"I've heard that you are a man full of ambition and power. You hire troops with high talent, no matter who it is. Also, you hold the high position in the Imperial Court because you show no fear to those idiotic and greedy people who run the government. I wanted to see you with my own eyes and felt the desire to help you in your conquest." The light skin girl finished, letting Cao Cao ponder in thought.
"Hahaha," he laughed. "then you have heard correct. I hold a high position in the court, but my ambition shall not stop there. Once I eliminate this foolish rebellion, all the people in this land shall know the name of Cao Cao 'The Hero of Chaos' and shall fear me as I walk this soon bloody battlefield!" He began to laugh again, but more louder than usual.
'He's almost laughing like Topaz, except her's is a lot more evil and ear bursting.' the lady in red pondered.
"Thorns," The king of Wei was centimeters close to her face. "answer me this question. Do you have what it takes to aid me in this time of events?" His warm breathe hit her face in a whisper.
"I wouldn't be here in YOUR presence if I didn't, now would I." whispered with a confident smirk. Cao Cao moved away from her face and sat back on his ass with a smirk.
"Eternity Thorns, you are very different from the other women I have encountered in my time. You are a warrior of high prowess. I want you to become my ally and rid of the those who stand against your Lord Cao Cao!" He waved his hand signaling that she is dismissed.
Thorns stood from the soft furniture and bowed before exiting the tent of her new warlord.
"I have no intention of failing you nor letting any mortal come against you, my Lord." Those were her last words to him before leaving him in his blue tent.
