Once up a time in UMUAHIA, a small village in eastern NIGERIA, there lived a warrior princess ADAOBI by name, she had a pet named DIKE. ADAOBI was a very beautiful princess who loved playing games,she would always go hunting with her dog dike and each day they always come home with a kill. umuahia and the neighboring village had a unique lifestyle and dress style. a typical umuahite would have series of tribal marks and paintings drawn on their body for identification and to easily distinguish them from indegenes/citizens of the next community. their men and women always had their chest exposed, although covered with some paintings. this culture has been passed down from generation to generation as the gods of their ancestors had instructed.

the Soldiers gave Emeka the dagger to kill Adaobi. unfortunately, Emeka had already made a split-second decision. He used His eyes to signal Dike for an attack. this was a signal which Dike understood very clearly.[/caption]

in split-second Dike attacked one of the guards and bit off his right arm. Emeka strangled the other guard to death with bare hands for he was a skillful warrior. He assisted Dike and they successfully killed the two guards while Adaobi watched in great amazement.[/caption]

Emeka pulled Adaobi up. He looked straight into her eyes and said what seemed to be the sweetest words Adaobi ever heard her whole life. "i love you so much and cannot afford to lose you, i would do whatever it takes to protect you and your happiness would be my priority from this moment on, thanks for sparing my life"--Emeka said as he kissed her .
Adaobi was dumbfounded. no one had ever made her feel that way her whole life,she never had a real boyfriend of her own and was in fact still a virgin, her friends would always call her the VIRGIN PRINCESS each time they joked.
she couldn't resist emeka ,she enjoyed the moment while emeka kissed her passionately. dike watched them in bliss and the whole atmosphere was filled with love and romance .[/caption] [caption id="attachment_13747" align="alignnone" width="720"]
they found a land where no one dwelt, this land was filled with so many good things . Adaobi would always fetch some fire woods to be used as fuel to cook the meal[/caption]

Emeka and Dike became good friends. they always hunt together and came back home everyday with the best kill. they were all happy and had more than enough to eat and drink.[/caption]

Emeka and Adaobi literally did everything together. This includes bathing in the stream.[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_13750" align="alignnone" width="720"]
They had to renew their tribal marks of identification which was washed off in the stream. They helped themselves to do this.Emeka would always tell some interesting stories and Ada never got bored of listening to his stories.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_13751" align="alignnone" width="720"]
One fateful-night Emeka went hunting leaving Dike behind to watch over Adaobi.Dike noticed flames far away and started barking. Ada got up and looked towards the direction of the flame, lo and behold UMUAHIA was on fire, her village was going down in flames.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_13752" align="alignnone" width="720"]
Ada did not wait for Emeka to return, She ran back to her village and Dike followed.On getting to UMUAHIA they discovered that the whole place has been surrounded by fierce looking soldiers. there were too many of them and this got ada and dike scared. So they sneaked in quietly.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_13753" align="alignnone" width="720"]
The women of UMUAHIA were held captive. Ada couldn't keep her cool any longer when she saw Chisom being maltreated by a soldier on guard .[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_13754" align="alignnone" width="720"]
She killed the guard and Dike helped to set the women free."where is my mother? who are these people? what do they want ?what happened here?
ada asked chisom too many questions at a time.
"i dont know,the soldiers took ezenwanyi to one of the huts in the palace".....chisom said.
ada couldn't wait for her to finish talking, she immediately went searching for her mother desperately and ready to put up a fight[/caption] [caption id="attachment_13755" align="alignnone" width="720"]
The soldiers discovered an intruder. Ada's prescene was uncovered. they all surrounded her, Ada tried to fight but there were too many of them.they captured her alive because she looked more different from the other women, they taught to themselves that this must be the Princess.
the soldiers took ada to thier commander[/caption] [caption id="attachment_13743" align="alignnone" width="720"]
Ada was completely hypnotized.the commander of the army that had destroyed her own village was someone she never expected to see.
CHUKWUEMEKA....ada screamed in a loud voice. for this was emeka's full name .
