CHAPTER 32 COURAGE

VALOR

Tia stepped carefully through the dense forest. The sunlight only slightly broke through the dense foliage, creating mysterious shadows around it. He felt wary, hearing the news that there was a group of bandits troubling the area. The sound of the wind whispered in his ear, as if warning him of the lurking danger.

Tia is a tough fighter, trained in martial arts since childhood. He has an agile body, a sharp mind, and a strong determination to protect his loved ones. Tia grew up in a small village in South Kalimantan, a place where the values of courage and justice were upheld. He has gone through various trainings and challenges to become a reliable fighter.

As Tia approached a small river, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her. He immediately turned around, holding his sword grip firmly. "Who is that? Show yourself!" he exclaimed resolutely, his eyes exuding impressive courage.

From behind the bushes came a group of bandits, with sly smiles on their faces. One of them, who was wearing a black hat and wearing a torn robe, stepped forward with steady steps. "Hehehe, don't worry too much, Tia. We are just a bunch of bandits looking for treasure on this journey" the bandit said in a scornful tone.

Tia was not affected by their words. He faced them with a calm demeanor, restraining his desire to launch an immediate attack. He has learned that patience and calmness are the keys to a successful battle.

"You have chosen the wrong opponent. I won't let you interfere with our journey!" tia replied in a steady voice, exuding a burning courage within her.

The bandits laughed cynically, underestimating Tia and her team. One of them stepped forward, holding a glittering knife. With a quick movement, he launched the first attack. Tia nimbly dodged his attack, showing her skills in combat. It danced on the ground with astonishing ferocity, dodging deadly knife attacks.

"I'm not alone. I have the courage and the skill to fight you!" exclaiming Tia while launching a counterattack. His sword whirled through the air, slashing towards his enemies at a mesmerizing speed. Each of Tia's movements was filled with strength and eloquence, revealing the countless exercises she had gone through over the years.

"You arrogant guards! We're gonna destroy you!" exclaimed one of the bandits with a trembling sound due to exhaustion. His face was pale, but he did not give up.

Tia remained focused on the battle, not allowing fatigue to block her steps. He continued to attack with his courage and skill, making the bandits even more desperate. His blood rippled within him, giving him extra strength to fight against his enemies.

"I won't let you destroy us! We will fight to the last point!" tia shouted tenaciously. His voice filled the forest, creating a soul-shaking aura.

Eventually, the bandits began to lose their breath. They retreat, realizing that Tia and her toughness can't be taken for granted. "You guys are stronger than we thought. We'll go, but remember my name. We'll be back!" said one of them while crawling up.

Tia looked at them firmly, her eyes filled with courage and determination that could not be extinguished. "If you really want to fight again, we'll be ready to face you. But remember, we won't back down in protecting what we love!" he said steadily.

The bandits escape in haste, leaving Tia alone in the middle of a desolate forest. Although they managed to repel the bandits, Tia remained vigilant. He continued his journey carefully, realizing that his enemy was still out there. But in his heart, he knew that he had shown the bandits that they could not easily destroy the peace he was keeping.

Tia stepped forward steadfastly, ready to face any challenges that might appear in front of her. He is determined to protect his loved ones and keep the peace in the land he loves. Conversations with the bandits will be a story that he remembers, as one of the battles he went through in the course of his life as a fighter.
