The beast of miko Chapter 1 The ambush

Chapter 1

Kalanje pov

1200 years ago.

The village of Mubaila sits quietly, surrounded by forests and a stream.

The sound of children running around naked and playing interrupts those flowing waters.

And I live here. I was looking at the people's work from my workstation.

I made bows with our village artisan, whose attention was glued to broken equipment.

When we heard the noise of men running towards our village and a band of cattle being chased our way, rising steadily from the trees that surrounded us.

The first thing I hear is the swish of a flying arrow.

Fly past my face, and my legs act on their own. They pull me away to safety in my mother's hut.

I enter and find her on the ground, crying, "Mama!"Mama!! I call, but she does not answer.

She lays there still and at peace with an arrow on her chest. I ran outside to look for my brother and sister, but they were nowhere to be found. Just then, someone pulls me from behind and covers my mouth.

He points in a direction and says to my ears, "Run to Borrankama." Your home stands on a rift, and I stop and turn to see if they are close. I search for my pursuers. No one was in sight, but then I ran forward, increasing my speed and not stopping until I came to a rift. That divided the earth and separated my people from the healer's hut, which was given where I was. I was close, and it was the only motivation I needed now. I ran backward, measuring the momentum I needed. I ran straight for the rift. My body swings to the other end as I leap into the air with my arms aiming for a hold. But I fall and roll like an amateur; it is my first time crossing this large rift. And as I proceed, I hear the sounds of arrows raining down in pursuit as one grabs my thigh.

I don't turn back. I limp, continuable to recognize my way as my vision blurs and the white and red tattoos of the Gbali people come into view. I am seated on the floor, watching my blood trickle and my body grow weaker and weaker as the colors on their bodies fade gradually. Am I dying? Is this the end of me? I try to move my hand forward, but my eyes finally close. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in her cave; the seer of our village came to save me. I don't see her clearly, but I call her in low groans, "Borrankama?"

Borrankama? To be sure I wasn't dreaming, "I am here," the voice of a young lady replies, "Your body is burning up here; take this and don't move," she instructs. I hold my head up a little and drink from the calabash. After I drink a little of it, I lie back, and my eyes slowly adjust to the darkness. I turn to the light. Beside me, I see her eyes, which are green and shining. like the keku (cats) in the night."Your eyes," I say."Yes, I know," she replies."You are young!" I am shocked."Yes, I know," she replied. And then she runs her palm over my face, and I drift into slumber. I woke up this time, and the cave was empty. I could see the sun shining through the opening in the cave, which was facing east. I looked around, and my sense of direction was off. I raise my upper body and roll off the giant flat rock covered with skins. When my left leg touched the ground, a sharp pain spread through my body. The pain jolted me back instantly to the reality of my situation. I carefully stand this time and make my way out of the cave slowly. It would be best if you were not outside when I hear Borankama speak. I turned and saw her by the side, tending to some plants. She was focused on her work and chose not to glance in my direction. She said your wound is almost healed, and the poison is gone. I swallow hard as my mind drifts back to what had happened between me and the people who had attacked my village and how I had to flee like a deer in hunting season."They are all dead," I say to her."I know, but are they really if you are alive?" I asked, looking at her askance."Only I alone can make the people, and even if I do, they are already gone; these would be new."Yes, but you can always find a home with new people."

Go back in and rest.

You will need all your strength to make a new home," she tells me. I stand there and watch her as she works. She has not turned her back since, and I haven't seen her face once. I walk to the side, ignoring her warning to rest, and try to see her face. But her hair, which is long and dark, covers her face. I do not relent.

Moving forward to face her, careful not to step on her plants, I look at her now. She is not as old as my people's stories about her.

She looks young, and I could swear her eyes still glow under the sun.

The green sparkles under the hair that stopped around her nose through the front.

"What happened to your eyes?" I ask her.

"I was born this way; go back and rest!" she says with authority.

"You do not tell me what to do." I shot back. She smiles, and I notice her eyes looking at my injured leg. I see my leg and notice too.

My two legs are touching the ground.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
