Five Years Ago
Mikal POV
Azgeda had been more brave lately, crossing our border into our land, attempting to take our resources and expand on their territory. We had been ordered by Heda to keep watch and drive them back on to their land.
I had been put on duty for the last week during the night shift, today was my eighteenth birthday, I had been gifted with a new sword and armor from my mother, she told me that it was the armor that Father had worn out when he had been my age in battle against the Blue Cliff warriors when they had had an issue with us.
I sat in the trees's watching, a crisp air blew through the spring sky. Winter had ended not long ago and everything was starting to come back, the trees's were just about full of leaves again, some areas were still bare but they'd soon be back. I huddled more into my jacket and shivered, being up higher was doing me no good other then being able to see any Agzeda coming. I'd end up having a cold in the morning.
Hours passed and it stayed silent as it usually did, until I noticed movement in the bushed maybe fifty yards away from he tree I stayed in.
I swung down close enough to the ground and I took out my bow and aimed an arrow at the person who was trying to sneak in.
They came closer to me and as I was about to take the shot a knife was hurdled at me and I quickly dodged it as a small frame approached me. I couldn't see them all to well, the darkness and their clothing hiding them well from me, making it impossible for me to use anything against them air I couldn't tell what she looked like and any weakness that she may have.
A sharp pain tore across my back and my feet were kicked out from beneath me, my ankle you could hear the crack as I went down, landing on my side, blacking out momentarily. When I came to again I could feel as a knife was embedded in my side. I screeched and I head butted the girl off of me and to the ground. I reached for a rock clumsily and whenI found one I brought it at the girl as she came at me again and I knocked her to the ground, unmoving.
I brought a hand to my side and with great difficulty I managed to sit up, leaning against the tree that me and the girl were near. "Your one crazy Ice Girl." I muttered, and I heard running in the forest.
Second later several of the people I had trained with and one of the senior warrior broke through the tree line and joined me on the ground and went to work on securing the Ice Girl who lie unconscious on the ground.
"We should kill her like her and Azgeda have done to many of ours, it's only right." Jackson said and he held his sword to the girl ready to drive it in her heart.
With great difficulty and help from Milly she had helped me stand up. "No were not going to kill her, we don't know what she knows, Queen Nia could have sent her here to do something for her." I looked to the young girl, In the dark it was just about unnoticeable but the side of her head was caked in blood. Black blood.
This girl was an Ice Nation Natblida.
