After I demanded the combat, they agreed. We had two days to prepare. My country’s fate was now in my
hands. I prepared an iron plate as my shield, an iron sword and bronze amour. But in the middle of the night, a
beautiful girl appeared. She said that her name was Zhen. She handed me a beautiful necklace. It had a star with a
ruby, an emerald, a topaz, an aquamarine and an amethyst on the tips of the star. She told me to say the word
‘Eclipse!’ and amazing amour, weapons and all kids of battle gear would appear on me, making me immediately
ready for combat. I said I would return it to her, but she said I could keep it forever. After saying goodbye, she faded
away.
The morning before the combat, I put on my amour by saying ‘Eclipse!’. Although the amour looked like it
was made of iron, it was actually made out of pure ruby. Bracelets appeared on my wrist and they had the ability to
make ruby weapons out of thin air. When I saw the Tribe’s emperor, he was suited up, but didn’t have weapons
and amour as strong as mine. The combat had begun.
It was a difficult fight, but after fighting for merely six hours, I had defeated him. Finally, I got revenge. The
combat made me a warrior queen. Although, the troops are still controlled by the general. On several occasions I
have spilled blood in order to protect my people. I still have the necklace. It will be on my neck forever.
