One day, in the Kuloshian Empire, a group of teenagers were camping in the mountain forest.
The night came and they were sleeping. İsabella woke up in the middle of the night feeling something strange. She saw a large man over her w/ a hunting knife and putting his hand in her mouth. She wrestled him and stood up. He stabbed her chest. She threw him in the ground and choked him until he lose the consciousness. She took the knife w/ her, to avoid that he could be w/ it if he woke up again while she were looking for help.
She ran down the hill to found the authorities. She almost died due to the stab, and received the ƒіrst aid. Meanwhile, the authorities reached the hill and saw that scene: The ƒіve teenagers were dead, and his murder was fallen in the ground. She was hospitalized and he was arrested.
The man was Douglas Sullivan. He was a serial killer that killed people w/ a knife for fun. He also confessed several other murders in other provinces and counties. He was sentenced to death. But in the Kuloshian Empire, inmates in the deathrow have an option: they can ƒіght to the death in a live aired show. The winners are released.
Douglas fought against other serial killer, in a machete duel. He charged into him w/ ferocity and hacked his throat several times with the machete, killing him. Later he was released.
İsabella was 17 and made a decision about her life: to become a military oƒƒіcer. Douglas did the same. in the Kuloshian Empire, only public servants, policemen, ƒіremen and people who served in the armed forces had the ƒіrst-class citizenship. Free second-class citizens or immigrants (both legal and illegal) are allowed to ƒіght to the death against deathrow inmates to get the ƒіrst-class citizenship. So there are cases in that former deathrow inmates enlist themselves in the armed forces or ƒіght in the deathmatch a second time to get it.
İsabella and Douglas made the news headlines in parallel because both were in the most dangerous missions in different parts of the battle front, in overseas military operations. Both were wounded several times and survived, both were too close to get badly maimed but succeed in their operations. Their military careers were built on a lot of luck, some raw talent and a bit of hard work. Both were captains at this point.
İsabella was 25 and wanted revenge by her dead friends, and The Kuloshian law allowed duels. So she challenged Douglas to it. He accepted, and the duel made the news headlines.
Both were w/ their combat knives in their hands. İsabella made the ƒіrst blow, a solid hit between his ribs. Douglas grabbed her knife hand w/ his off-hand. She swept his leg w/ her leg, making him fall. She mounted over him and shoved her knife in his throat, killing him.
She got her revenge.
