Chapter I
The Journey
Before Maiku left, she grabbed her father's sword and some of his money. "He won't need these in the afterlife anyway." She thought. As she left her home, she felt her tears coming again. She held them back and decided the first thing to do was to get food. She walked into the village and headed for the market where her best friend, Anzu Mazaki's family runs.
When Maiku got there, Anzu noticed that Maiku wasn't as cheery as usual. She thought something was wrong so she asked, "Are you ok? You look upset." Maiku was glad that she had a friend like Anzu so she replied, "My father died and told me to go to the Pharaoh. I'm nervous though. Some say he's nice, others say that he's really cruel-hearted. I don't know what to do..." Maiku sighed as she paid for the food she needed and continued on her way. "I hope the Pharaoh's nice," Anzu shouted as Maiku continued on her path, "And I'm sorry about your father!"
Maiku kept walking until she reached the edge of the Desert. She knew that the Pharaoh's Palace was on the other side, so she trudged on. "Ryu was last seen here," She thought as she walked, "I hope I find him." Hours passed and still no sign of the Palace. Maiku was just about to take a break from walking, when she heard something behind her. It was the sound of horses. The men that had killed her father were riding through the desert, and probably found her. She shivered as she drew her father's blade. She turned around and saw them right in front of her, and their blades also drawn. "Must've been shipped here from Japan." She thought. She smirked as she dropped her belongings in the sand. "You want to fight US?" The Samurai's laughed. They thought that she was too weak for them. "You killed my father," Maiku said, "And now, I'm going to kill you." She ran towards them hoping her aim will be true. But, those Samurais were much quicker than she was and much stronger. One of them got behind her and slashed her through the back as another one got her in the arm. She gasped in pain and she clutched her arm. She decided to ignore the pain and kept going. One Samurai gasped in pain as she stabbed him, but she got slashed in the chest in the process. "I'll be dead before dinner if this keeps up!" She thought. She felt more tired by the minute as she kept trying to kill the other two. She killed another Samurai leaving one remaining. But unfortunately for Maiku, this one was the strongest. He was really fast and strong, and managed to stab Maiku right in the chest.
Maiku let out another gasp of pain as she fell to her knees, clutching her wound. The Samurai smirked, got back on his horse and rode away, leaving Maiku to die. Maiku was a strong girl, and wasn't going to let this stop her. She slowly got up, and walked only a few more steps before falling onto the ground. She saw the Pharaoh's Palace only a few steps ahead of her. She smiled weakly, and passed out into unconsciousness...
