Only an hour later, as dawn took a proper hold on the morning, Officer kate escorted Diana, to the helipad on the southern platform of the vast prison that is Located on an isolated island in the middle of Delta Bay—aka “The Rock”— which had held female captives and dangerous female criminals since the Civil War.
Warden Clark with the pilot name Storm was waiting for them, already in the chopper and starting up the engines. He gave a curt nod and threw his thumb over his shoulder, gesturing for Diana to come on board. It was finally time for her to be released, she has served for three years in The Rock prison. ‘I hope you've learnt your lessons! ,’ Officer kate spat. Her hand twitched towards the baton at her waist before removing the handcuffs from Diana. Diana gave her a long, hard stare that despite how much she explained she was only being defensive that awful night that the heir- Ethan- made advanced at her, Kate, absolutely no one still didn't believe her and Alas Diana stepped up into the passenger hold of the Seahawk.The blades started spinning and the wind forced Officer Kate back off the helipad. As Warden Clark took off and headed out over the open water, Diana stood in the hold and watched The Rock fade over the horizon. The collection of tiny lifeboats, full of tiny people, and most importantly, the queen of the Quins Royal regiment.Diana watched the helicopter depart. She recalled her first glimpse of the Rock from the hold of this chopper three years ago, and thinking that the interconnected, diamond-shaped platforms had resembled a giant, dilapidated demon of smoke and steel.She felt a cold sensations on her neck, definitely from the silver necklace she was wearing. There was an eagle carved on it, it was free from artificiality, it had a lifelike pose with it's eyes imbued with red pendants. It was given to her by Catherine. The lady and friend from prison who kept blabbering that she is the queen of Quins Royal regiment.However, Catherine was indeed a strange fellow wielding the divine eagle abilities. There is absolutely no one in the universe she dares not kill, neither a sickness she can't cure even despite being a lady. Diana however oftentimes wondered if she were who she claimed to be, why would she end up as her cell mate?Although the Rock prison housed other female Dangerous criminals as well, none could assume the same precision of deadliness as Catherine . They all trembled at her feet and worshipped her like a goddess she is, because if you get on her nerves she won't hesitate to teach you a lifetime lesson.The Rock was a prison made specifically for female criminals......Only Diana was closed to Catherine since she was a genius and could talk on same intellectual level as her. That was what cemented their friendship all the while in the prison.Catherine would constantly ramble on how she used to be the Queen of the Quins Royal empire and how she practiced and knows Medicine and martial art and many more that she became an expert.Catherine would as well also tell Diana all sort of strange stories about the mysterious quins empire and would over time get Diana to join her in meditation and training and Diana barely objected since it was the only activity she engaged in and not characterized of boredom.At the end of the third year, Diana already learnt a plethora of martial art and medicinal abilities from her and considering how much she had learnt from her, she treated Catherine with so much respect.It was on the day of her release that Catherine gave Diana the necklace and told her to go to the Quins island and with the necklace in her possession she will be allowed in and there she would be bestowed with Wonderful opportunities she could ever ask for. Diana had also found demons in the Rock, that much was certain, and nightmares enough to last a lifetime. Murder, treachery and greed. The Rock, a living monstrosity, that is trying to crush all the evil from the world. The Rock also had a part reserved for male criminals.Two hours later, they flew into a storm, heading towards the west and away from the daylight in the east, outpacing the dawn. Diana looked out to sea, at the course ahead. Vast, mighty storm clouds obscured the sky, and not five minutes later, freezing rain, thunder and lightning threw the chopper around but Warden Clark, flying true to his pilot name - Storm - persevered through.Half an hour later and before Diana knew it, she spotted the curve of the coastline, of land. She smiled at the sight of it."She was finally going to be home!" She heaved a heavy sigh and exclaimed.Then suddenly Images from three ears ago began streaming into her thoughts, and thinking back to what actually transpired, her smile got replaced by complete anger.Back then, She was just an ordinary maid working day and night for the Wakin's family so she could gather money to Carter for her parents and as well render financial support to her fiancé in his business , but all of her dreams were crushed and chattered into pieces like an atom, one awful night.That night, she was sent to fetch the rich arrogant heir from his room, but when she got there, she discovered he was drunk but however was on the course of delivering the message she was sent when Ethan, started to touch her physically and harboured lecherous intentions towards her. She started to agitate to defend herself from getting molested by him.Ethan was known for his misdeeds and misbehavior with ladies, not just ladies though.... beautiful and gorgeous figure 8 ladies like Diana.Diana got incensed and while trying to defend herself from him, she grabbed for a bottle and she hit it on his head which caused blood to started gushing out and that was when he finally freed her.Upon hearing the commotion, the security guards rushed in at once and their first instinct was to protect the heir. Even the dumbest person would know that it didn't ended well for Diana. And being from the lower-class poor family, no one paid not even a single attention to her explanation. At the end of the day...she was sent to prison for assault!Warden Clark A.K.A Storm soon landed on a helipad at the harbour’s edge of Delta city airport. Diana jumped of the hold as soon as they were down. Sparing the warden not another minute of her time – he, and the people he worked for, had stolen three good years from her already – Diana took off into the dark morning, towards a strip of beach that curved around the city. Before she knew it, she had arrived at the entrance of her home. She was not surprised to see a dilapidated abandoned house in front of her.Diana took a long, deep breath and thoughts of the gruesome terrible events from past three years replayed in her thoughts over and over again while hesitating to step into her home."I hope my parents are well?... Why does the house seem...infact, it's abandoned. I hope my parents are well?" Diana thought as she felt a sense of bitterness erupt within her. Over the three years in prison, no one, not even her own parents visited her and as such she was worried about them and especially now that she has found out that her home/house is abandoned.After a moment of hesitation, Diana let herself into the abandoned house and once she was in, she could finally confirm the house was indeed abandoned. The leaking and corroded roofs, the furnitures torn upside down. It looked like the house has not been habitable for some years now, precisely three years.Diana felt a much bitter pain and anger and worry for a moment, "Where are my parents?" She wondered as she surveyed the environment. Just as she walked out of the building two Hilux drove into the compound at once. The speed with which the cars zoomed in and halted, on its own, indicated that whoever are on it, were not here for Jokes. Then suddenly, about four fierce-looking men each alighted from the cars, then a bald man alighted from the car in front,he appeared more intimidating, about a head taller than Diana, with his chest puffed out and was bulging with muscle, not only that, he was holding a battle axe and just like his men, he wore incomplete military gears.Diana sto
Just after they left,a burning rage started to grow up within her. The neighbors could actually sense her fury, but that would be her nursing herself to get killed.Nobody dares the Wakin's family. Is it money? Is it power? They had it all and they can make her varnish from the surface of the earth without a single trace. Who is she to have challenged the chief security? She is already in for a big mess! She ought to have learnt her lessons being an ex-convict, but no!Diana exhaled deeply before she started exiting the compound. She was still wearing her torn prison canvas and the civil clothing she was given immediately after her release. A black trouser , a white top and a black long sleeved jacket.She was enveloped with rage as she left the compound thinking of what to do."She needs to go get her parents out! But she can't just barge into the Wakin's abode and take them away. That would be an unreasonable option!" She thought, then something suddenly struck a cord within her. Ca
With a smirk, Oliver threw a bunch of Cash and a wedding card at Diana and then said, "Get yourself medical attention and that's my wedding card!" The words pierced into Diana as the bunch of Cash and wedding card landed on her body.Oliver entered his car immediately. The next moment he was already driving off. Meanwhile, Diana was strongly heartbroken but it didn't stoped the fury and rage in her eyes. She radiated and exuded a murderous intent towards him as her eyes caught the glimpse of the wedding card. She bent down to pick it and was further shocked. Oliver was getting married to Emily? Ethan's sister? The daughter of the Wakin's?Diana's expression changed all of a sudden. After all she did for Oliver, he didn't just break her heart, he was getting married to the daughter of the family that forcefully got her into prison? Ethan being the one that made the passes at her three years ago." Did this just happened?" She asked herself in a puzzled look. She furrowed her eyebrow
What? So Jason here, is the young man that Catherine said would be her loyal and obedient servant? No, it can't be him . I know him head to toe and even his background. He can't possess all those abilities Catherine said he possessed."So, why do you want to see me? For me to be your alliance? Are you joking?" Jason queried vehemently .Then Diana brought out her silver necklace with the life like eagle carved on it and it's eyes imbued with red pendant radiating a faint aura.Jason couldn't help but scrutinize the necklace more closely. Alas, he felt as though he was on the verge of a heart attack when he truly scrutinized Diana more closely. The Eagles necklace? Thats the eagles necklace! Anyone who wears it, as far as she is a lady. She is the queen of the quins royal regiment!How is it possible for an ex-convict to have suddenly garnered such identity? How did she get the necklace? Jason fell into a trance for a moment and it made Diana wondered.Jason's father, who everyone k
A hunched back old lady with a headful of white hair walked into view reaching out his stick as if to feel something. The old Lady's eyes were closed shut. It could not be any more obvious that she was blind. Just as she was about to speak, she ended up coughing intensely instead."I thought you said you live alone?" Diana asked as she turned to look at the old lady.Cough cough! Her coughing intensified further as she started to vomit."Mum?" Jason dashed forward to support his mum. Nevertheless, he was given a fright when he saw the black blood his mum, Sonia had coughed out. At the sight of the scene, Diana furrowed her brows at once. Evidently, Sonia was injured and her injury was worsening. Staring at her, Diana was surprised how this old lady has been able to survive despite the injury in her right lung and the hole in her heart.She could diagnose her sickness with a mere look and observation.. "Quickly, carry her to a room" Diana snapped into action and ordered Jason who
"I'll be at the corridor waiting.. Incase you need my help...." Diana said and then heaved a sigh, "an angry sigh" "just three minutes" she added and then opened the door and went out. She knew in not more than three minutes time, Jason would come to her, begging her to come treat his mother. It's already two minute since she left the room and not even Jason or the doctor bothered about her absence. The Doctor was busy with Sonia's acupuncture treatment and he was already and entirely drenched in sweat. Soon, he finally inserted the last silver needle in the acupoint in Sonia's chest.Dr Steve had not much confidence in the treatment that he had just administered, thus, he watched closely. "Sonia ought to have opened her eyes by now" he got worried. Once an acupuncture treatment is carried out on a patient, immediately the last needle is inserted, he or she regains consciousness and opens his or her eyes, but, why was she yet to open her eyes? Thirty seconds more had elapsed making
His eyes were filled with horror. Nevertheless, he didn't say anything, he handed over the remaining set of seirin needle.After receiving them, Diana swiftly removed all the roughly positioned silver needles from Sonia's acupoint and dropped them into their respective box.Then she asked Dr Steve to press against the viral point in Sonia's legs and he did exactly that. Moving with a janus-face marked by his deliberate deceptiveness, by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another, she swiftly positioned and started inserting the needles into Sonia's vital acupoints. In a jiffy, she had already inserted twenty Three seirin needles and now she was drenched in cold sweats as she looked to be exerting a lot of strength and carefulness in doing so.When she finally inserted the last needle. Diana let out a long sigh and then slumped to the wall behind her like she was completely drained. Of course! She was drained.All through the entire time of Diana's acupun
Diana watched Dr Steve entered his car and zoomed off, just then someone tapped her from behind, with a shock and alertness she turned, surprisingly, it was Jason."He ought to be with his mum..." She thought"You good now?" He inquired."Yea..." Diana responded, looking at him quizzically. "Ms Queen..." He started, " I can't thank you enough. You saved my mother's life and if not for you I don't know what would have happened to her.. I appreciate you kindness and help a lot.... " Diana was oddly touched with the way he humbled himself and thanked her. “You are welcome,” she said in response."Is there anything you need from me? If there is, tell me about it. I'll readily fulfill it as far as it's within my power..." Jason declared resolutely. He was hell bent in doing anything for her as far as she saves his mum, he didn't wanted to lose her now."You're being too kind Jason, as I barely did anything. Furthermore, this is one of least I could do for my executioner and also a friend
"What? What a crap! Do you know how much I bought this throne? Do you know how important it's to me? How can you come into my store and tell me what do to?" Walter barked at Diana at once. Naturally, he got infuriated with the vile words this ordinary lady was spewing at him, "Guards!" Walter called out, "if you're unable to give me a good reason, you'll learn to maintain your tongue next time!" Walter snorted even as two guards barged into the office. Diana However was seating still, unfazed by the threat, and she bloomed with smile as she explained in details to Walter.Diana's words sent a chill down Walter's spine as she explained and it did jolted him into action. It forced him to take a closer look at the throne, something about them didn't felt mundane to him, still, he can't imagine evacuating his most precious antique. "I'll ask my guards to throw you out now if you don't stop instilling fear into me!" He paused," Stop saying your loads of craps" he yelled this time arou
Soon, Diana arrived at a classical looking store. On top of it's entrance a golden emblazoned plaque shone the stores name "Traditional Herbalist store" This happened to be the largest herbal store in Delta city. At the front, there was a stall that displayed all kinds of herbs including bronze and olden days coins.One could find anything under the sun there, as far as it's a herb. The store owner, Mr Walter was a famous medical doctor who specialized on traditional healing method, to advance his course and legacy, he built the herb store and over the years, it has gained attention in the field of medicine.It was Diana's second time coming to this store, still, her curiousity was piqued by the smorgarboard of items on display. She had come here three years ago to get some herbs for Wakin's specially, she was a mere servant and she did all that her master asked of her then.Armed with a welcoming smile, a servant walked over to Diana as she entered the store and greeted, "Welcome ma
Oliver and Emily talked for a while. Emily was feeling down and dispirited so, Oliver was trying to comfort her.Then, he half-closed his eyes as if in relief that Emily was better now, and as his eyelashes lowered, Emily saw how angular his cheekbones looked. He had lost weight, she thought, and was about to say so when he leaned down and kissed her.She was so surprised at the feel of his mouth on hers that she went rigid all over, grabbing for the edge of the couch to support herself. She did not, however, push him away, and clearly taking this as a sign of encouragement, Oliver slid his hand behind her head and deepened the kiss, parting her lips with his. His mouth was soft, and the hand that cupped her neck was warm and gentle. He tasted like salt.Emily let her eyes fall shut and for a moment floated dizzily in the heat, the feel of his fingers moving through her hair. When the harsh bark of Wakin's cut through her daze, she jumped back as if Oliver pushed her away, though he h
He couldn't imagine that a lady beat up experts of martial artist in just two minutes.."Do you want to join your men?" Diana taunted Byte as she slowly walked over to him. ."No no no-" Byte said, despite stricken with horrow, he dashed forward, swinging his heavenly punch at Diana's abdomen. Before he could land with his punch, Diana pinned his shoulder that his fist immediately collapsed. He no longer could feel his hands, let alone raise it! "Who sent you?" Diana roared in anger, sending sudden chill and fear down Bytes spine as he groaned and struggled raising his arm.Byte got startled and hastily took two steps backwards and fell to the ground. Horror written all over his face! Who is this lady? .. he had never felt so much fear and he feels it for the the first time and the person instilling it is a woman?What a disgrace to him and his manhood!On getting no response from him, Diana stomped on his arm as he was sprawled on the floor.The instant he felt the excruciating, he
While washing up Diana's mind couldn't help but remind her of who she is now. How powerful she would be after may 13th. After she washed up, she went straight outside to the small field outside to cultivate her spiritual energy.She sat down on the Fields floor and crossed her legs like a typical monk praying. She then calmed herself down and closed her eyes shut before initiating the focus and replenishment technique. Two minutes into the enchantment of the techniques chant, waves of spiritual energy began to flow into her from all the things and old trees that were imbued with spiritual energy.The wave and waves began to grow as she went deep into the focus technique. Throughout her three year in The Rock prison, she had never missed let alone skip a day off her training. Although, it was an instruction from Catherine, Diana insisted that she would continue to refine and develop her spiritual energy, even after she is out of The Rock.Not long after that, all the spiritual energy
Words had already gone out. "There is a new Queen to rule over the Quin's Empire!"Some were unsettled with the news while some were settled and excited about the news..."Mum, Dad, you'll be staying here for the mean time....until I get us a permanently place! Also, the environment is splendid here. It's good for the both of you!" Diana was holding unto Catherine as she brought her into the mansion. Conrad was stunned when he walked into the mansion. The interior designs of the Tyson's mansion were more beautiful than that of the Wakin's family, where he worked as a servant. It was indeed nice inside.Diana quickly wanted to show them around the mansion, otherwise they'd get lost in no time. The mansion was very big."Dad..... mum... Let me take you on a tour around this mansion. You need to get familiarized with the environment..." Diana suggested as they strode into the sitting room. Inside, blind Sonia was lying on a couch there eating some pop corn, immediately she heard the foo
Feeling a tad discomforted to see them all kneeling down, Diana waved her hands, "Please get up on your feet!" She added."Thank you Our queen!" They all said in unison, excluding those harbouring grudges against her and her dad.It explains why Jason stood to protect her. He was her executioner after all, his duty is to protect her with his sweat and life.Diana already learnt from Jason that they only acknowledge the necklace and not the person herself and since she was in possession of the necklace, she was their queen.Words eluded Diana as this new reality settled down with her.At this very moment, her anticipation for May 13th intensified. Perhaps, she will know more about herself as the Queen and the power she owns and most importantly about the Quins empire.After her momentary shock, she ordered, remembering what her dad said happened to her mum, "You're all dismissed! I'll look for you if I need you! Except the Wakin's family!"Understood, they all bowed lightly as they le
The moment her Dad, Conrad heard the question, a silver of panic crept into him not knowing if she is in good health now. While they were working in the Wakin's farm yesterday, she had collapsed and was taken to the hospital."She is at the hospital!" Conrad responded,"How? What happened to her?" Diana asked in alarm."This is not the time...." He gasped and then began to cough out while Diana tried to calm him down."You seem to forget I'm a regiment leader and you're a mere executioner.... Have you forgotten the Quins disciple's hold my regiment a favour?"As his words fell, Jason gave out a loud chuckle rather than get filled with panic as Wakin's expected.The quins discipline rules holds only when there were no queen and to Wakin's there were no queen and as such he could cash into the favour and report to the Quin's disciple's where Jason would naturally be dealth with regardless.Ignoring his chuckle, Wakin's asked with a stern voice "So, what's your decision? Jason. Do you wa
Him and his wife, Diana's mother has been slaving their life's for three years now, just to pay for her actions many years ago. Though they believed her story, they felt she shouldn't have hit him rather let him get done with his deed. No one dared go against the Wakin's family."Ethan!" Wakin's darted forward to support his son, after a careful observation he concluded that Ethan's arm was broken and would take a few week for full recovery."How dare you hurt my son Jason! Until now I thought I won't have problems with you, but you've already created one for yourself! He was merely getting to her and not you!" Wakin's said in anger, whipping out his phone, "She is with me! You'll have to go through me first!" Jason declared further infuriating Wakin's.It was clear that the reason she is been standing before her ever since was because he was hell bent in protecting her. Wakin's was so much pissed that he summoned all the martial artist whom he had paid a fine amount to hire. Hence
