Chapter 5
Amy stood ready for her final Judo match; amazed she had gotten so far. 'I never thought all that training with the Ancient One would pay off.'
The first few days of training had been hard for Amy, but she guickly got the hang of it. And after a few days, Amy was becoming more disciplined, but never really noticed. In the fifth round, her opponents were becoming more difficult, until something the monk taught had her began to play in the back of her mind:
"The mind and body can work together as one to create a powerful force."
When Amy realized that, she defeated her opponent, and moved on to the finals. Now she was at the finals, facing her final opponent, a Judo fighter from Japan. Like her, he too had won all his matches. 'This is for the gold,' Amy thought, 'I want to prove to the world that I'm capable of winning.'
The referee called for the match to start, Amy took a defensive position, and countered the first blow, knowing that an opponent who attacked first wore out a lot faster. As the fight continued, Amy realized that her opponent was not going to let down. Amy continued to defend, until she heard a male voice whisper something in the back of her mind:
"Prove to me, silver child, that you are worthy to bear the Armor of Cruelty."
Amy narrowed her silver eyes and changed her stance from defensive to offensive. Amy's anger fueled her fighting, 'that SOB is watching me,' she thought, 'and he wants me to win. Fine, I'll win the gold, and then I'll give him living Hell'.
As Amy became more offensive, her opponent couldn't keep up with her, and in one final throw, Amy brought her opponent onto the mat.
The cheering of the crowd snapped Amy out of her anger, and when Amy heard the judge announce that she had won the gold medal, she broke down into tears. 'I won,' she thought as she cried, 'I won the gold for my country.'
When it came time for the awards, Amy stood on the first place platform and recieved the gold medal. When the "Star Spangled Banner" played, Amy cried tears of happiness, 'I never thought this day would come,' she thought, 'I'm only glad that it did.'
Hidden by the shadows, Anubis looked at Amy. His child with silver eyes had won the gold, 'she has proven her worth,' Anubis thought, 'now, to bring her into the Dynasty.'
