Katalya's Journey
Chapter One - The City of Tensmoor

A crowd was gathered in the city centre. It wasn't unusual that a crowd be gathered at the city centre, but what was unusual was that they all formed a tight circle surrounding just two people. The two people weren't performers, though you could say that they were putting on a performance at this time. The pair were a a man and a woman. The woman was standing strong. her weight carried equally by both her legs one foot in front of the other and arms balanced one held high near her chest and the other lower at her waist ready to make a move. She was facing a man who was standing a few metres in front of her in a battle pose of an amateur fighter.
"Come on!" the crowd shouted. "You can beat her! She is only a woman for Gods sake!"
The man just smiled and clenched his fists. His eyes were drawn to the womans breasts, a distraction that worked in the womans favor very well. She was wearing a tanktop, which allowed her breasts to bounce around almost with no restraint at all and swing in any direction that she moved in, increasing the distraction her opponent was experiencing. Her shorts revealed a lot of her legs as well, up to her upper thighs cut just under her tight firm ass and she could feel many of the mens eyes on her. She relaxed her pose feeling unthreatened by her current opponent and moved her hand through her short black hair waiting for the man to make the first move.
"Like my breasts?" she said smiling openly as she saw where his gaze was.
The man didn't reply but continued to stare at her firm C-cup breasts. He was not going to start fighting anytime soon so the woman moved in to strike. Her movements were swift, she was upon the man in a single moment, grabbed his hand and threw him over her back all at lightning speed. The man didn't know what had hit him as he fell hard to the ground. A complicated maneouver executed perfectly taking advantage of her opponents distraction. This was a fight and she knew that if this was a life or death situation even a moments hesitation or distraction could mean death.
The man picked himself up slowly and the woman let him smiling warmly at him. "Not ready to surrender yet?" she said assuming another her battle pose once again. She stood fairly low on the ground so as to increase the effort required to throw her. Of course this also let her cleavage become more visible which had the perfect effect of distracting her opponent. She was sexy in a tomboyish way with her short hair and round face. Her tanktop accentuated her breasts well giving her some cleavage and her denim shorts accentuated her ass, but she didn't mind men staring at her when it served her in a fight.
"Come on, do you want to win the money or not?" the woman said reminding him of the reason for the fight and staring into his eyes, holding his gaze and focuing on them knowing that the eyes always betrayed a persons mopvements far better than their body.
"I'll beat you yet!" the man said stubborn and just a little stupid as only a man can be.
"Bring it on!" the woman said taunting him further.
The man ran durectly towards her without noticing that she was watching his every move ready to strike him at a moments notice. The man closed the distance in a few seconds and tried to hit her with a clenched fist. 'Too slow' the woman thought while movuing to the side making the mans attack miss her by a large margin and launching one of her own hitting him in the chest with her palm, the force of the blow knocking the man back and unsteady on his feet he fell backwards landing on his ass on the dusty dirty ground.
"How?" the man asked stunned by the speed and precision of the womans attacks.
"How did i do that?" the woman finished for the man. She didn't say any more only smiling at the man and making no other attempts to explain anything at all. "Ready to give up?" she asked holding out her arm to help the man up. He grabbed on to her arm and tried to drag her down to the ground with him, but she just smiled and stood strong after a little stumble forwards because of the surprise. "Nice try." she said and quickly brushed the man off backing up a little. "I guess that means you still want to fight?"
"Come on man! You can't let a woman beat you." the crowd shouted.
The man stubborn as he was, was beginning to feel that he might not be able to win this fight and considered giving up, but the crowds shout put his pride on the line and he didn't want to be humiliated in front of so many people he knew. He would never hear the end of it. He got up onto his feet slowly and faced his opponent again. She didn't strike any battle pose this time, just standing up straight her breasts jutting out against her tanktop. No matter which way she stood he was distracted by them as only an amataur fighter would be.
She ran towards him giving him only a second to react as she dodged to the side and struck him hard with her palm again. Her aim wasn't to hurt her opponent. Just to beat him in this fight. Again the force of the blow sent him staggering and she followed the attack with a strong kick striking him in the dead centre of his chest throwing him back on to the ground. Even he was beginning to see that he had no chance against this woman and he decided finally to surrender to her and admit defeat.
"You win." he said simply with a look of disappointment on his face. He had just lost his 10 gold pieces and he would probably be taunted about his loss by his friends when he went out for a drink tonight at the local bar. He hung his head feeling a little depressed His children looked up to him feeling that he was the strongest man in the world and here he was defeated by a woman. How would he ever face them now?
"Anyone else want to fight me?" the woman asked the crowd which surrounded her. "it is 10 gold pieces for the oppurtunity to fight me one on one. The prize for anyone who defeats me is 1000 gold pieces! Anyone up for the challenge?"
A small group of men were discussing whether they should try to beat her. "it is only 10 gold pieces to try and we'd be rich if we won!" said one man.
"Yeah!" said another. "Why do we not try?"
"I am in. I can beat a weak woman." a third man said stepping out from the circle into the centre. "Here. Your 10 gold pieces, but you'll be giving me 1000 gold pieces when i win!"
The woman smiled. "Thank you." she said taking the money and putting it into a small pouch that she carried
She backed off a little to create some distance between them while the man didn't mov, but only stood there facing her., looking her over like the other man had done.
The woman put her hands behind her head and relaxed a little, a movement which pushed her breasts out against her tanktop and gave her a slight disadvantage because she wasn't in any ready fighting pose, but she watched her opponent carefully studying his movements like a hawk ready to act on a moments notice. The man didn't notice this and assumed that she was defensless in her current pose and took the oppurtunity to stare at her slim feminine body.
"Ready?" she said calmly smiling easily as she noticed that he was distracted already.
"You bet!" the man said.
"Okay." the woman said as she quickly leapt into action running towards the man and executing a strong trip as her kick landed at the side of the leg that he was putting most of his weight on quickly knocking it from under him causing him to fall flat onto the ground. She followed this attack with a quick retreat allowing him to get up again. He got up as if he was in a strong gravity field and was struggling against it to stand up and ran towards the woman and tried to grab her left breast with his right hand 'If I'm going to lose anyway, I might as well cop a feel the man thought.' The woman was ready for this and grabbed the mans hand and executed a throw bringing him own to the ground once again. The impact knocked the breath out from him. The man tried to grab her ass as he got up, but she was too quick for him, dodging out of the way so he was grabbing thin air.
The woman smiled knowing what his game was and easily predicting his movements. The man saw that he couldn't win the the fight or even cop a feel so he decided to give up. "I can't win." he said looking down a frown apparent on his face.
"So you surrender?" the woman asked a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Yes." the man said.
"Anyone else want to fight?" the woman said once again challenging the crowd. "Nobody wants to fight me in single combat?" she said playfully. Noticing that nobody was taking up her offer this time she decided to increase the stakes and give them a better chance. "No weapons allowed, but you can come at me in groups of three for 25 gold pieces or a group of five 40 gold pieces. Sound fair?"
