It's about midnight. The long howling of wolves was heard from Darya van, the forest boundary between Amai and Hirangan kingdom. For the past many decades, it always had been peaceful in the Mekong continent ever since Hiranga officially announced that they will no longer participate in any war unless they are provoked. It can be considered as there won't be any war from part of Hiranga since no other country even the Amai kingdom won't dare to provoke the mighty beast Hiranga and its renowned Serpent and Hawks army.
Amanya, the commander-general of the serpent army had a meeting with the other members of the army and was preparing for her usual night patrolling in the outskirts of the kingdom. General Jatin who usually accompanied her in this night patrolling was busy and couldn't make it today, so she went unaccompanied. All was good in Hiranga and she was about to return, suddenly she heard a scream nearby Darya van. She was perplexed as Darya van is an uninhabited area and it is fortified by the Hawks army. She proceeded towards the gates of Darya van and was stopped by hawks

"Just now I heard a scream and it seemed to be from Darya"
"Replying to my lord, we didn't" they replied
Confused Amanya said "move, let me pass. I want to check it myself"

"I believe in hawks but if there is a mistake, we should correct it before it's too late or else Darya won't be peaceful anymore, and yeah, no need to inform others, maybe its just my hallucination." she said and lighted her torch.
"Yes, my lord" and the gates opened.
Even though she convinced them that it was her overthinking but deep in her heart she thought
"I hope it's an exaggeration on my part and not an ambush"
Little did she know, it was an ambush but laid by the heaven and fate…
