The loud noises and rib tickling laughter from different directions was the only thing heard up and down in the village of kukwa. The firewood was chopped with the axe equally by Anita and she sees it as some sort of training for her dream she always wanted to achieve.

Anita was a young orphan who was raised by her friend's mom in the village of kukwa. Anita was known to be a beautiful maiden which always made her friend's mom angry and ended up maltreating her because everyone kept on singing praises about her beauty but never talked about her friend Rita.
Rita was known to be rude,saucy and I'll mannered girl. She never cared about anyone or their feelings although she was beautiful but everyone despised her a lot and never prayed to cross her path.
The village was known to have many warriors and soothsayers,when any of those men dies,they become a spirit and have a star which indicates that they are not forgotten and if they are forgotten the star fades away and they are gone forever.
Anita wished to be a warrior and have been secretly practising but when she tells anyone about her desire to be a warrior, she was always mocked and insulted saying that the post are not for females,only makes and besides females are meant to be the one doing petty works
When Anita was secretly practising,Rita saw her and because her heart was filled with hatred for Anita,she went to call her mom and all the villagers saying that Anita doesn't do the necessary female duties but was mainly concerned about the fact that she wanted to become a warrior to win the prince's heart. They all trooped in one after the other to view what Anita was doing. Within the twinkle of an eye,Anita's house was filled with crowds of people and one of the nasty villagers went ahead to inform the king.
Rita and her mom switch the mind's of the people to have bad wishes about Anita and all sorts of questions were heard from different angles directed to her and her character and were about to be stoned as her punishment. Fortunately for her ,the prince stopped them and the villagers said to themselves saying 'she has bewitched the prince and Anita was about to be killed'. The prince got angry and shouted at them and went to meet his father if he wanted to say something but unfortunately, the king said the villagers were right and ordered Anita to be imprisoned and should be killed after the festival of remembrance for the stars.
The prince got very annoyed and ordered the guards to stop and started explaining things.
If she chooses to be a warrior it is none of our business because she owns her life and has never asked for our opinion. It's her desire to be a warrior and not just a female doing house chores but a great female, she wants the best for herself and the village without any bad intentions, she wants to be the first female warrior in the land. It's her wish and choice not ours to decide. She's trying to make herself useful for the village not only in the family alone and therefore should be permitted to join the warrior. The king and the villagers had no choice than to accept but Rita and her mom felt ashamed and disgraced and they went in as Anita followed the king to the palace to start training.
Finally, Anita became a skillful warrior and the prince loved her dedication and made her his personal guard but will still be under the royals as a warrior. Everyone loved her and sang her praises, Rita and her mom began to plan to kill Anita so her daughter Rita could get the praise.
