What's love? What makes up a woman? Could it be her ability to be a care taker ? Her ability to be a leader? Or her interesting ability to love ? They say the tapestry of love and womanhood are interwined since the primordial. Two unique forces interwoven in the web of  life . You can't talk about love without including women in the picture.  The highly emotional gender whose one way to express themselves is by showing affection and care.

Her Heart's Embrace: A Journey Through Love and Womanhood takes on a inspiring enriching journey where we slowly unravel the exploration of these intertwined themes: a crossover between feminism and affection. We decipher the meaning of love and its myriad forms right from platonic, agape,phila, philautia and so on . Through the lens of femininism we discover and navigate the the intricate maze of identity, resilience and empowerment love brings to women.

Love is a profound and multifaceted emotion, encompassing deep affection, empathy, and connection that transcends boundaries and fosters a sense of profound understanding and care. Everyone is capable of love even animals like primates,dogs,cats ,dolphins and certain birds form emotional bonds with themselves and humans. It's like how I love my dogs and I am pretty sure they love me back I think . Now back to connecting womanhood and love together.

Womanhood is the very essence of being a woman, you could say it embodies the culmination of femininity, strength, resilience, and identity. Love is part of the building block of womanhood. One of my  female friend once said to me that "Because of your intense desire for the other person, Love inspires you to strive to be the finest version of yourself that you can be. Women think that true Love is unselfish and unconditional." Then again you begin to wonder why do women love deeply. I sat down and began to think these things through. Women are her empathetic, compassionate, filled with nurturing instincts and highly expressive of their emotions not deeming it weak.

There are various forms of love women express it could be platonic, agape, storge, eros,philautia love,phila ,eros and so on. Platonic and phila love practically deals with friendship, just your female friend showing intense care and affection towards you excluding the romantic part . I have female friends who can literally read or tell if something is wrong by reading my facial expressions. " Dara,what's wrong "they say . I definitely try to hide it but I would eventually relent due to them consistently asking me or people who just randomly check up on me and so on .

The love the mother has for her child has no bounds. It's even the same for animals, well at least mammals who raise their children till they old enough to fend for themselves. Motherly love is the is a bond that begins during pregnancy and continues to grow and evolve throughout the child's life. A mother has the unconditional acceptance for her child regardless of the child's weakness and  strength. Mothers embrace their individuality and makes sacrifice for them.

Everyone is capable of love even the narcissists though they show it to themselves. Philautia love i.e self love involves   involves cultivating a positive and compassionate relationship with oneself, nurturing a sense of self-worth, and prioritizing personal well-being . For women, the ability to recognize and celebrate their unique qualities, talents, and individuality without seeking validation is very important.  Self love makes way for personal growth in women as they set goals that allow them to develop themselves, challenge and embrace opportunities that  allow self discovery.

Classic love stories like "Beauty and the beast" , "Romeo and Juillet" , Pride and Prejudice " all showcase Eros love . Eros love, also known as romantic love or passionate love, is characterized by intense emotional and physical attraction between two individuals. It involves a strong desire for intimacy, connection, and physical closeness with a romantic partner. This type of love often encompasses feelings of infatuation, longing, and excitement, as well as a deep emotional and sexual bond between partners.. I don't really know much about Eros love but all I do know is that women love deeply when they do love .

Honestly love and womanhood are complex concepts that we can't fully understand. While women are often more open in expressing love and affection, it's crucial to acknowledge that men, too, possess the capacity for love, albeit sometimes expressed in subtler or unconventional ways. We should also appreciate the female gender for the constant love and affection they shower on us.

The article reflects on the profound impact of love on personal growth, identity, and empowerment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of love and womanhood in shaping individual experiences and relationships.


The Box

The box a four cornered object from which I was outside.

Outside the box I  observed everyone in it .

It was more like a guy watching a television unable to influence the actions of those around.

I watched everyone progressed yet I wasn't part of it .

A feeling of detachment was in me ,I was present or not so present.

Outside the box wasn't a bad place, sometimes been away from people can be relaxing.

Alas I missed being inside the box ,interacting with people who care about me.

For now outside the box is my abode ,where I belong.

Till I muster enough encourage to enter the box,I shall remain outside continuing to observe everyone from afar.

A year had passed since the bizarre incident that had left Henric, Su, Jabari, Tasha, and D with haunting memories of their hallucinogenic-induced dream.

Jabari, leaving the store with snacks in hand, was the first to break the silence. "Here's the money," he said as he joined Tasha, Su, and D, who were planning a late-night hangout at their school.

Tasha, oblivious to the strange events surrounding Henric's labor, asked, "How's Henric and the baby?"

"What baby?" Su's curiosity was piqued.

After they had woken up from that mysterious dream, Henric had become mysteriously pregnant. "It was just a bloated stomach; he released so much gas during the labor," D laughed.

"That night was wild," Jabari reminisced with a hint of ecstasy in his voice.

But D, ever the responsible one, reminded them, "We have a test tomorrow, guys. Let's not forget about that."

Meanwhile, Henric lay on his bed, the alarm ringing for hours. He had been experimenting with various substances, hoping to recreate the experience from that fateful game night. As he stood up and silenced the alarm, he couldn't help but think about the intimate encounter with the female demon. He missed her terribly, and the only way to see her again was by obtaining that mysterious drink.

"That's it," Henric decided. A reckless idea had popped into his head - stealing the drink from D. He quickly dressed and headed to D's place.

"The cake is quite good," Tasha said. They had finally tried the new bakery that just opened. They were trying out a new medium-sized cake that had three blended flavors - strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. There was something strange about it, and Tasha made a disgusted face as she tasted a strange currant. Su struggled to swallow each bite, but they couldn't let such an expensive cake go to waste. After finishing, they left for their rooms to rest, but on the way, Tasha saw a bizarre floating creature. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and the creature disappeared.

In D's room, Henric's sudden appearance shocked everyone. D was taken aback by his presence, but Henric didn't waste any time and began asking weird questions about the mysterious drink. "The drink is a weird concoction of different herbs," he said. "I have a bunch here," he said, throwing a bottle at Henric. The young man didn't waste any time in gulping down the drink. D was shocked by this; he left Henric in the room to engage in other things.

Meanwhile, Tasha started seeing strange beings, and her situation grew worse as she could now hear them too. She tried to explain to Jabari, who wondered if it was the drink's fault. "Why would I take the drink?" she yelled, clearly distressed. She had considered blaming D, but he had no connection to the bakery. "How is Su?" Jabari asked, showing concern for her well-being.

Su, meanwhile, was in the bathroom, standing over her vomit, as she had been throwing up since consuming the cake. While washing her face, a strange tentacle emerged from the mirror, wrapping around her tightly. As Tasha conversed with Jabari, she spotted Henric, but to her surprise, Jabari couldn't see him. Su emerged from the bathroom, her pupils white, looking like she was in a trance.

"Su, what's wrong?" Jabari asked calmly. In response, she telekinetically pushed him away, and Tasha sensed a different aura in her. D quickly intervened, sprinkling holy water on her, trying to break whatever had possessed her.

They managed to regroup in a room, bewildered by the events unfolding. Left with no other choice, D revealed that the drink was meant to aid in astral projection. The entire hallucinogenic-induced dream was, in fact, an astral projection adventure. As for the cake, D admitted, "I work in the bakery; I added those things for fun," accompanied by a giggle. Furious, Tasha wanted to hit him but stopped when he revealed that Su was trapped in the astral realm.

D brought out more of the mysterious drinks from his bag, and they all gulped them down, transporting them into the strange and perilous astral realm. In this otherworldly place, they were immediately attacked by menacing beasts that sought to devour their souls. They were saved by none other than the demon girl and Henric, who had bonded with her during the previous encounter.

"It's been a while, guys," Henric greeted them, kissing the demon girl to their disgust. Tasha, infuriated, punched him. D took charge, leading them toward Su's location, where she was chained up and guarded by Celeste and the male demon.

The male demon swung his axe at them, but D released a powerful spirit blast, prompting the rest to join in, overwhelming the male demon. Jabari freed Su from her restraints, while Celeste unleashed a blast of hell flame at them, which was blocked by the demon girl.

"Go, I will hold them off," the demon girl declared. The quintet hurried towards a door, but something inexplicable occurred - they all switched genders. Su and Tasha had become males, while Henric, Jabari, and D had transformed into females.

The night had finally arrived for the long-awaited game night with Henric, Su, Jabari, Tasha, and D. They had all gathered at Henric's place, but as usual, Henric was fashionably late, much to the irritation of Tasha.

"What took you so long?" they all yelled in unison as Henric entered the room, his habitual tardiness already a topic of discussion.

Su and Jabari, used to Henric's antics, exchanged knowing glances and didn't seem too bothered. "This is childish," D declared, holding a tray of drinks he'd brought. "Let's get started."

Jabari grabbed a drink and started sipping while standing next to D, casually placing a hand on his shoulder. Su, however, couldn't help but notice the strange taste of the drink. "Where did you get these drinks?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

D just giggled manically and replied, "You're in for a surprise," before handing a drink to Tasha. She took a sip, she exclaimed, "You guys are weird," and dropped the bottle.

Jabari took charge, pointing out that they should start the game night. He reached into his bag and pulled out a collection of board games. Henric, who had brought a mysterious and dusty old board, raised a curious eyebrow. "Why does it look so old?" D wondered aloud, intrigued by the unique nature of the game.

"Let's start," Henric suggested, and with that, he rolled the dice. Tasha, still not entirely convinced, reluctantly joined the group, encouraged by Su and Henric's teasing.

As they sat on the floor, playing the strange board game, Jabari rolled the dice and excitedly announced, "It's a three!" Suddenly, an eerie light began to emanate from the board, and a chilling gust of wind swept through the room. Fear gripped their hearts as D and Tasha held Su's hand tightly.

When the wind finally subsided, a mysterious being stood before them. "It's a demon!" Tasha exclaimed, and her fear overwhelmed her, causing her to faint. Panic spread through the room, and D gripped both Su and Jabari's hands as they stared at the supernatural entity.

Henric, ever the nonchalant one, was drawn to the demon. He approached her with an audacious smirk and began flirting. "It's a girl demon," he said, seemingly unfazed by the situation. His friends were appalled, and Su shouted, "Henric, are you mad?" They couldn't fathom his bizarre behavior.

To their astonishment, the demon reciprocated Henric's advances, and they began kissing passionately. Tasha couldn't believe her eyes, and her shock turned into anger as she watched her friend engage with the otherworldly being. She had no choice but to intervene, and she slapped Henric out of annoyance.

Battered and bruised from the unexpected altercation, Henric whispered something in the demon's ear, shocking everyone. He was suggesting a three-way encounter with Su. She vehemently rejected his proposition, and Henric and the demon retreated to another room to engage in rough sex.

With Henric out of sight, the remaining four decided they needed to finish the game and send the demon back to wherever it came from. They continued playing, their fear still palpable, and eventually, they summoned another demon-this time, the boyfriend of the female demon who was incensed by Henric's actions.

In an instant, the enraged male demon used his tentacles to kill Henric. Su, Jabari, D, and Tasha were horrified, and they wasted no time fleeing the nightmarish scene. The male demon caught Jabari and bent him over, but the others couldn't stand by and watch. They attempted to help Jabari, only to be ensnared by the male demon's powers.

Forced to participate in an orgy to amuse the demon, they experienced unimaginable torment. Eventually, the male demon grew bored with their suffering and decided to end their lives, leaving with his vengeful girlfriend.

In a shocking twist, it turned out that the entire night had been an hallucinogenic-induced dream triggered by the mysterious drink D had offered them. The revelation was bizarre and inexplicable. Even more perplexing, it seemed Henric was somehow pregnant. How this was possible, we do not know, but in the next nine months, they would gather for a naming ceremony.

She took a deep breath and fell to the ground. Exhaustion took hold of her , sweat dripping off her face and her legs filled with blisters.  " Jiro, let's take a break " she said panting heavily. They had walked eight hundred miles from the mountain however Jiro showed no signs of exhaustion.  " His energy manipulation must have granted him infinite stamina "Kya said to herself.

She had been observing Jiro trying to understand his anomality . The spy had bigger problems than trying to figure out Jiro , "The Organisation" she said . An elite group of spies who work for the Japanese government which she used to be a member of.  Jiro stood on a log quietly not saying a word, he seemed to appear of what was happening in Kya's mind . " Who's Sakura " he said materialising right in front of Kya .She fell to the ground startled by his presence right in front of her.  " How " she said puzzled by sudden mention of Sakura.

"Electrical signals" he said explaining how he scanned through her thoughts . " I can read the electrical impulses in your head " he said slowly titling his head. She didn't fully understand what he said but she was chill with it . The time she spent with Jiro made her more accustomed to his quirks, he reminded Kya of her teammates back at the Organisation. "It must be nice back there " he said trying to bring her out of the gloominess . " Honestly, it was terrible " she said getting off the ground. " I d.....id  terrible things " she said in a sob tone. An Organisation spy, the espionage and assassination technique their greatest etiquette.

"Let's go, we have had enough rest " she said picking her bag off the ground. Jiro gave a side eye and shifting his mouth to side in a comedic way. " Here she goes acting all tough and dominant" he said covering his mouth while he giggled. Kya ignored his childish behaviour,  she was five years older than Jiro . A nineteen year old woman soon to be twenty in the next four months . "Are you done " she said sternly. " We need to go" Kya said her gaze becoming too intimidating.

" Alright " he said pushing himself off the ground with a mild energy blast . Jiro found the travelling experience fun , a stark difference from his solitude on the mountains.  His ear twitched sonarly detecting the footsteps of three people approaching them ." Erm...Kya we have company " he said taking a confrontation stance read to defend himself and Kya from the mysterious people. Daggers came flying at them , he smashed his hands together converting the kinetic energy of the daggers to potential energy. Clank !  they fell to the ground ," Kya " he shouted signaling her to attack the guy who snuck up on her .

Thud ! she crashed into a tree unable to withstand impact of the punch ,it was just too strong.  She raised up her head ,weaved her scattered hair to the side and looked at him . Fear gripped her ,her hands shaking, profusely sweating and suddenly paralyzed. " Sensei Shhhu " she said managing to get the words out of her mouth . He glared sinsterly at her slowly approaching her ready to deliver a fatal strike. Zzzzzhhh...Zzzzhhh, Jiro zapped Shu with an electrical blast . " I would handle him take on the two" he said turning her attention to the two spies approaching her.  Sakura and Rikou her former teammates,she somehow take on Sakura but Rikou was just too much for her .

Sakura jumped forward throwing a kick that  could slice the air. Kya sensing the danger ducked the kick , sending a punch to her gut. Blargh she coughed out blood, Sakura sneakily threw a dagger at Kya ." It won't work " she said titling her head to the right as the dagger flew past her . " It's just like all old times ,I have always been better " Kya said intimidatingly to Sakura. Crack she snapped her fingers putting Sakura to sleep. He appeared suddenly,his strikes precise and deadly. Rikou the favourite and best of Shu's students, he was what you called a spy prodigy. " You can't beat me " he said coldly . Kya knew she was right, she can't take on him but her friend Jiro can.  " I am here " he said releasing a sonar blast  that sent Rikou flying feets away.

He held back the urge to laugh as he saw Kya's battered body . She managed to get on her feet , they had Shu to worry about. Her sensei who trained her in the ways of a spy . The oldie came running at them, throwing kicks and punches at the duo . Kya couldn't react to all of them and Jiro was seemingly reaching his limit.

A mysterious guy appeared slashing Shu in the eye and sent him flying with a kick. Jiro empowered by a mysterious source ,summoned a beam of light teleporting both himself ,Kya and the mysterious guy away.Shu injured covered his slashed eye with his hand as blood dripped to the ground.  " We need the secret weapon " he said talking to the woods as an agent listened ready to rely his message to Major Nowaki.

In the aftermath of Second World War, 1955 Kya a runaway spy runs into a Jiro a mysterious being with the ability to manipulate energy. Together they work to thwart the Japanese plans to nuke the world.

The coldness in the air intensified as he waved his hands , he seemed to enjoy it . He loved living in the mountains, the silence and high temperature gave him a subtle sense of peace . The temperature never bothered him , he could easily alter it with his mind after all he was an energy manipulator. He could simply manipulate his body heat to warm himself up , heat is a subset of energy. He laid on the grass filled with snow,tighting  his bandages and began reminiscing the day he gained this ability.

The year 1945 he was a five year old  living with his two year old cousin Himawari and his grandparents. Hiroshima was so lively as everyone was going on their business unaware of the tragic event to come. Jiro and Himawari were more unaware, they were toddlers who only wanted to play. About a week ago Jiro saw their neighbour moving out ." Yamato were are you going " he asked . The adult gave him a solemn look and said " Somewhere safe ". He entered his automobile and set off . Perhaps he could have taken the kids alongside their grandparents with them ,maybe this tragedy wouldn't have befallen them.

On the 6th of August, 1945 an ominous cloud appeared warning the inhabitants of the impending doom . Nuclear fall out began to drop from the sky, the adults instinctively knew what was happening and rushed to their kids . It was too late the atomic bomb released a surge of energy blasting through the perimeter. " Jiro ,Himawari " their grandparents screamed as the blast burned their bodies to the crisp . The children paralyzed with fear, watched as the blast went through them . Everything went pitch black ,he groaned in pains as he woke up the bandages covering the burns weren't tied properly.

" Where's Himawari" he said tearfully,  the nurses remained quiet till the doctor broke the silence. " We couldn't find her body, it's like she just vanished " he said. The five year old couldn't withhold the trauma broke down releasing an energy blast that knocked out the medical personnel. Jiro got off the bed and ran away never to be seen again. The flashback came to an end ,has he sensed a disturbance in the forest right below the mountain. Whoosh as the dagger sliced through the air coming towards her . Kya gracefully dodged it, she took a battle stance as she had grown tired of running away from them. She could hold her on against five men for a while before escaping again.  She ran towards one of the men releasing a punch that was swiftly blocked. Her reflexes were fast enough to narrowly dodge the a punch from the other man.

She could feel the force the punch carried, instantly she jumped back realising the need to strategise . She began waving her hands in her eerie manner,  a form of a hypnosis. The bells attached to her clothing began to jingle putting the men in a trance . She took a breathe of relief unaware of the other men who had closed in on her .  Bam!,two men fell to the ground,  she turned her a gaze to a boy covered with bandages standing on a tree. Electricity began to crackle in his hands , Jiro jumped off the tree and released a surge of electrical charge knocking out half of the men . " Who's this mysterious boy" she said to herself clutching her dagger just incase he prepared to attack her .

He was calm without fear , unbothered by the presence of the remaining ten armed  men . They all shot bullets at him but they seemed to hit an elastic wall of energy,  he skillfully turned warping the bullets around the energy wall and shot it back at them . They all groaned in pain, the redirected bullets pierced through their nerve connection leaving them paralyzed.  A beam of light teleported both him and Kya to the mountain top . Two hours passed ,Kya awoke from the disorientation caused by the teleportation, she wasn't used to moving at such high speed. She was intrigued by him," What's your name?" she asked.  He turned at her, wrapping his hand with energy placing it on her injuries.  " Jiro" he said removing his hand on her head healing the scratch on it .

"How long have you been here" she said , repositioning herself on the mat . " Since the bombings " he said . Her facial expression switched up as she realised he had been living on the mountain on for ten years . " Why were those people after you " Jiro asked . " I am a spy and stole a really important intel " she said. Kya had been on the run for eight months, evading every guy after her .  She revealed that the Japanese was plotting revenge against the United States. " A bomb so powerful it could destroy the world " she said.  " No!" Jiro said still traumatised by the event that cost him his cousin and grandparents. He stood up, tighten his bandages and revealed his resolve to help her thwart this plan.

She was astounded, finding his resolve weird literally everyone in Japan was xenophobic.  They all wanted to bring the US down even if it meant destroying the world.  " We leave by now " she said getting off the mat. " N...o...w " he stammered leaving the mountain were he spent a decade was a lot to take in . It was like an emotional separation for him , he had to be brave and bold.  "Let's go " she said throwing a bag at him . The chill air began to blow , the last Jiro would have this sensation.  He joined his hands together and teleported them to the forest beneath the mountain to continue the journey. In a military centre, an assignment was given to three people to find Kya and eliminate her .

Sit coms had a particular group of people who hung out together, going through the weirdest experience, have bizarre adventures which enabled their bonding process. Most times they end up being way closer than they were during the first episode. I am a really big fan of sit coms,it was like an escape from reality. You sit down, switch on the television and watch any sitcom probably friends.

Why did I enjoy watching sitcoms ? Honestly I don't really know why, I just had this sense of relatability to them .I just loved the dynamic between the characters and aspired to have them with other people. They laid my framework for relating with other people.  I would ask myself these questions "What would Chandler do " , " Abed would handle this situation in a particular " . Yeah, it was that serious, it felt normal after all sit coms were the closest examples of human interaction .

I loved a variety of sitcoms but quite a few caught my heart .  F.R.I.E.N.D.S had always been my favourite, I really loved that show or you could say I loved Chandler Bing . I had always wondered how my adult life would be like. There are usually two options you end alone or you are surrounded with wonderful people. I had always these weird fear that I would be alone later on in life . Watching characters I could relate with gave some kind of hope things could get better. If Chandler(F.R.I.E.N.D.S),Abed(Community),Adam(Sex Education),Ian Gallagher (Shameless),the entire cast of Victorious and Urekel(Family Matters) could make genuine bonds,enjoy life ,have memories and fulfil their side goals I could do the same then.

Aside from music, reading comics and animes,sitcoms were my biggest motivation and inspiration. Well kids watch a sitcom and enjoy the enriching relationships between the characters.

The article expresses the writer's deep connection to sitcoms and their role in shaping their perspective on relationships, companionship, and the possibilities of adult life. It reflects a longing for connection and a belief in the transformative power of genuine human bonds.

Falling

A sudden splash into the water of despair ,I tried mustering enough strength to swim out .

The weight of the water seemed to pull me down, slowly drowning into the abyss.

Suffocation began to take hold of me , the water rushing through my nostrils.

The voices from above caught my attention, I looked up to see what was it .

It was friends standing right above the shore looking at the water.

Unaware of my predicament, I thought or they never seemed to bother about it .

I screamed out their names with my last bit of strength signalling for help.

No one responded, I was left to deal with my problems.

Exhausted and drained, I began to drown into the abyss .

Forever gone and no one seems to care .

My lifeless body reached the abyss and no one was aware.

The poem captures the profound loneliness and sense of invisibility that can accompany mental and emotional struggles, as well as the tragic consequence of feeling unheard and unsupported. It reflects themes of despair, isolation, and the longing for connection and support in times of crisis

Choo! The train jolted to a halt, its wheels screeching against the tracks, announcing their arrival in a strange land that most people avoided. Franklin, the enigmatic leader of their adventurous group, shot a stern look at the others as he clutched his bag protectively.

"Be careful with the bag," he cautioned, not wanting any of their expensive equipment to be damaged in this unfamiliar territory. A lady in explorer attire emerged from the train, her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Beside her stood her friend, a woman of color.

"Do we really have to be here?" came a voice filled with apprehension. Franklin, irritated by such reluctance, decided to put young Edwin in his place. The boy had just turned sixteen a month ago, but in 1888, kids his age were expected to shoulder adult responsibilities.

"Be patient with him," the burly man, Col. Richard, advised. "We might need to start heading for the Vile Lands," Irene suggested. Edwin, gripped by fear, hesitated, staying rooted to the spot while the rest of the group set off without him.

"Edwin, are you coming?" Imani asked, tapping his shoulder. The young boy had always been fascinated by Imani, her dark skin, intelligence, and bravery despite being a year younger than him. He followed her, his heart pounding, perhaps harboring romantic feelings he'd never admitted.

"You finally caught up," Irene said with a relieved smile. They began setting up camp, with Franklin in one corner planning the route, and Col. Richard preparing his weapons. He felt uneasy around the Colonel, whose imposing stature struck fear into him. Nevertheless, Richard was a gentle soul.

"I'm sorry for how Franklin treats you," Richard offered an apology. "I shouldn't have brought you along."

"Actually, being here is better than the orphanage," Edwin replied with tears in his eyes. Irene's voice interrupted their conversation. "Supper is ready, and I added extra chicken for you, Edwin." He stood up without hesitation and joined the group.

"He'll do fine," Irene said, patting Richard's back, while noticing Franklin in a dark corner studying his maps.

"Franklin," she said, taking a seat on a log beside him. He pretended not to notice her and continued working on the maps. She moved closer. "You haven't figured out the location of the Vile Lands," she remarked, looking at the map. Franklin, secretly admiring her intelligence, was taken aback.

Together, they identified the location on the map. "Maybe we could try this sometime," Franklin said, his face slightly flushed. She nodded and joined the others.

Suddenly, strange men emerged from the woods and attacked them. Col. Richard and Edwin swiftly took up their guns and began firing. Irene and Imani retreated behind Col. Richard. Hearing the gunshots, Franklin rushed to their aid.

"Who are you guys?" Franklin demanded, shooting one of the attackers with his pistol. A hypnotic melody filled the air, making Col. Richard, Irene, Imani, and Franklin drop to the ground in a daze. Edwin, realizing what was happening, tried to resist the hypnosis but eventually succumbed.

Hours later, they awoke to find a menacing figure standing before them. It was Amevil, the Count of the Vile Lands, a sinister grin on his face.

A group of adventurers go on an expedition to the Vile Lands, there they cross paths with the malevolent Count Amevil.

The light shine on the stage as the quartet began their performance. The Panther Girls was what they called themselves, each member had a unique personality and trait. The crowd was roaring, cheering for more performance .It  had only being a year since the group was formed yet they achieved such high level of fame. Esméralda the founder  standing on the stage began to reminisce the early days before the girl group came to be .

"Esméralda we have to go" Amelie said they had been late for class. It was their second year in college, a brand new start for adventure and new beginnings. Amelie and Esméralda had been best friends since forever, two girls with a talent for music. Esméralda had more of an indie pop vibe while Amelie was a pop rock fan . "How about we start a band " she said. Amelie stopped what she was doing and paused ." You haven't given up on this " she replied. They had made several attempts to start a band but it never worked out .

"It's going to be different this time " she said passionately. Esméralda lived for music, it was her drive and passion . Amelie remained skeptical and made a bet with her ." Form a band by the end of this week and maybe I would join " she said walking out of the room . Esméralda laid on the bed and groaned wondering what exactly to do . She eventually stood up and headed to the cafe to meet a friend of hers. " Any luck with the band stuff " Mcdonald said curious about the bet between her and Amelie. Naomi sipped her iced tea and kept mute pondering how to recruit people into the band.

"Who's that angel singing " she said immediately interested in the lady performing in the cafe . She was a goth girl wearing a black shirt with black baggy trousers. She couldn't control herself she stood up and began a duet with the goth girl . The melodies moved easily which piqued the interests of guys in the cafe .The duo eventually ended the performance and exchanged names. "Raven, are you interested in joining a girl group " Esméralda said . She nodded affirmative and sent off for her dorm leaving Esméralda and Mcdonald at the cafe.

"One member check "Mcdonald said with a smirk on his face . He had always been supportive of Esméralda, she was like a big sister to him guiding me through college and so on. Amelie eventually had to choice but to join the group. The trio would perform at cafe and occasionally hold gigs at school events. She wanted more,Esméralda had always been ambitious wanting to go big but the recent happenings began to discourage her. Amy who was walking down the street saw a flyer of the Panther Girls asking for an additional member.

She showed up for rehearsal wanting to join the girl group. Esméralda wasn't interested in the band so Amelie had to ask the questions. "What genre of music do you specialise in " she said . She took a few breaths and replied "Pop rap" .Amy could both sing and rap allowing for a fusion between the two genres. The group signed up for a competition, which led to Esméralda slowly growing interest in the band. The group performance was what lead them to stardom as their unique fusion of genres brought out a symphony that captivated the heart of the crowd.

Esméralda smiled as she became more energetic and the others followed suit. Amy, Raven, Amelie and Esméralda they were the Panther Girls the biggest girl group in the region.
