Three days passed before Ayo could lift her arms above her head without tearing stitches.
The healers changed her bandages twice daily, cursing each time at the slow healing, the persistent seepage, the angry red streaks that suggested infection trying to take hold. They packed the wounds with different pastes—some that burned, some that numbed, some that smelled like death itself.
Ayo endured it all silently.
Training continued, modified for her injuries. While the other recruits practiced blade work, Ayo was relegated to footwork drills. Stance. Movement. Balance. Things that didn’t require raising her arms or twisting her torso.
It was humiliating.
It was necessary.
By the fourth day, the infection had receded enough for the head healer to grudgingly approve light weapons training.
“Light,” the old woman emphasized, gripping Ayo’s chin to ensure eye contact. “Meaning you don’t tear my stitches out again, or I’ll let you bleed.”
“Yes, grandmother,” Ayo said, using the term of respect.
“I’m not your grandmother. Your grandmother probably had sense enough not to climb walls that destroy her body.” But the healer’s grip softened slightly. “Go. Try not to die today.”
Weapons Training - Fourth Day
The practice blade felt heavier than Ayo remembered. Or maybe she was just weaker. Blood loss, infection, three days of minimal movement—all of it had taken a toll.
The instructor—the one-eared woman—demonstrated the next form in the sequence.
“Fourth position: low guard, protecting your legs and groin. Blade angled down. Like this.”
Ayo copied the position. Her chest pulled, stitches straining, but nothing tore.
Progress.
“Fifth position: strike low, aiming for knees or ankles. Disable the opponent. Like this.”
The strike required a forward lunge, weight shifting onto the front leg. Ayo attempted it.
Her chest screamed. She felt one stitch pop—just one, but enough to know she’d torn something.
She completed the motion anyway.
The instructor noticed. “You’re bleeding again.”
“Only a little.”
“Only a little will become a lot if you’re not careful.” The instructor approached, studied the growing red spot on Ayo’s bandages. “But you completed the form correctly. Good. Do it again. Slower this time. Control over speed.”
Ayo did it again. Slower. More controlled. The stitch still pulled, but nothing else tore.
“Better. Ten more repetitions. Then rest while I work with the others.”
By the tenth repetition, Ayo’s bandages were spotted with blood, but the bleeding had stopped. The stitches held.
Small victories.
She sat on the ground, watching the other recruits practice. Seven remained, including Nala. They moved through the forms with varying degrees of competence.
A shadow fell across her.
Kessie stood there, holding two practice blades.
“Can you stand?”
Ayo stood.
“Can you fight?”
“I can try.”
“Good enough.” Kessie tossed one of the blades to her. Ayo caught it, barely. “Spar with me. Show me what you’ve learned.”
“I’ve only learned five positions.”
“Then use those five. I’ll use all of them. We’ll see how you do.”
Kessie didn’t wait for Ayo to be ready. She attacked.
The blade came high—Ayo raised hers to block, first position, protecting throat and chest. The impact jarred her arms, sent pain radiating through her shoulders into her damaged chest.
She held the block.
Kessie attacked again, low this time. Ayo shifted to fourth position, protecting her legs.
“Good. You remember under pressure. Now strike back.”
Ayo tried second position—strike high, aiming for the throat.
Too slow. Kessie deflected it easily, countered with a strike that would have opened Ayo’s side if the blade had been real.
“Dead. Try again.”
They reset. Kessie attacked. Ayo defended, tried to counter.
“Dead.”
Again.
“Dead.”
Again.
“Dead.”
After the fifth “death,” Ayo was breathing hard, chest aching, bandages soaked with sweat and blood.
Kessie lowered her blade. “You’re thinking too much. Following the forms exactly as taught. That works in practice. In real combat, you adapt. Feel it. Stop thinking.”
“How do I stop thinking?”
“Practice until it’s not thought. Until it’s just response. Muscle memory.” Kessie moved closer. “Here. I’ll attack slowly. Don’t think about which position to use. Just respond.”
She struck, moving at half-speed.
Ayo’s blade moved to block. She didn’t think about first position or fourth position—she just blocked.
“Better. Again.”
Kessie struck again. Ayo blocked again.
“Good. Now faster.”
The strikes came faster. Ayo’s blocks came faster. Her body was learning, even if her mind was still catching up.
“Faster.”
Full speed now. Kessie’s blade whistled through the air. Ayo blocked, parried, tried to counter. Most of her counters failed, but some—a few—actually came close to landing.
Kessie smiled. Actually smiled.
“There. That’s what I wanted to see. You’re starting to feel it instead of think it.”
She stepped back, lowered her blade.
“You’re talented. Raw, undisciplined, but talented. Most recruits take months to stop thinking. You did it in minutes.”
“I still ‘died’ five times.”
“Five times against a Reaper with twenty years of experience. Most recruits would have died twenty times.” Kessie tapped Ayo’s blade with her own. “You’ll make a good fighter. Maybe even a great one. If you survive the training.”
“I’ll survive.”
“Confident.”
“Not confidence. Necessity.” Ayo lowered her blade. “I have nowhere else to go. So I’ll survive because the alternative isn’t acceptable.”
Kessie studied her for a long moment. “The wall destroyed your breasts. You hated that. Still hate it, I can see it in how you hold yourself. But you climbed anyway.”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because if I’d valued my body over my freedom, I wouldn’t deserve either.”
“Good answer.” Kessie gestured toward the barracks. “Go clean up. Change those bandages before infection sets in again. Tomorrow, we spar again. And the day after. Until you stop dying so easily.”
She walked away.
Ayo stood there, holding the practice blade, watching Kessie’s back as she moved across the training yard. Watching the way she moved—controlled, precise, deadly.
Someday, Ayo thought. Someday I’ll move like that.
The Well - Evening
Ayo stripped to the waist at the washing area, unwrapped her bandages carefully. Other recruits and warriors were doing the same—washing away the day’s sweat and blood.
No one stared at her scars anymore. Everyone here had scars.
She poured water over her chest, hissing as it hit the wounds. The stitches were holding, mostly. One had torn, but the rest seemed solid.
“You’re healing well.”
Ayo turned. The young warrior who’d helped her to the barracks days ago—the one with the scar down her face.
“I’m healing slowly.”
“Slowly is still healing.” The warrior began washing her own arms, revealing more scars. “I’m Ife. I should have introduced myself before.”
“Ayo.”
“I know. Everyone knows.” Ife smiled. “You’re the gate fighter. The wall climber. The girl who won’t quit.”
“I’m just stubborn.”
“Stubbornness keeps you alive longer than skill sometimes.” Ife finished washing, began re-wrapping her own minor wounds from training. “Kessie doesn’t usually spar with recruits. You impressed her.”
“She killed me five times.”
“She kills everyone. That’s what Reapers do.” Ife glanced at Ayo’s damaged chest. “The missing nipple—does it bother you?”
Ayo looked down. The scarred tissue where her right nipple had been was healing over, forming a puckered circle of scar. The left nipple was still there, damaged, crooked, but still attached.
“Yes.”
“Honest. Good.” Ife touched her own chest, where both nipples were intact but surrounded by scars. “I kept both of mine. I was lucky—small-breasted, not much to damage. But I see you looking at women who climbed the wall and kept everything. I know what you’re thinking.”
“What am I thinking?”
“That you hate your body now. That you’d trade anything to look normal again. That the price was too high.” Ife met her eyes. “Am I wrong?”
“No.”
“That feeling doesn’t go away. Not completely. But it changes. Becomes part of who you are instead of something that happened to you.” Ife began wrapping fresh bandages around Ayo’s chest, her movements practiced. “You’ll see women in the compound who are beautiful despite their scars. Some because of them. You’ll learn that damaged doesn’t mean destroyed.”
“I don’t feel beautiful.”
“You’re fourteen and mutilated. Of course you don’t.” Ife finished the wrapping, stepped back. “But you will. Eventually. When you realize that every scar is a choice you made. A price you paid. That makes them yours in a way unblemished skin never could be.”
She walked away, leaving Ayo standing there dripping water, thinking about scars and choices and whether damaged could ever feel like anything but loss.
Night Training - First Week’s End
On the seventh day, when the sun had set and most recruits had collapsed onto their mats for sleep, Kessie appeared in the barracks.
“Ayo. Come with me.”
Ayo stood, ignoring the protests of her body. Followed Kessie out into the compound.
The night training yard was lit by torches. A few senior warriors were there, practicing forms in the flickering light.
Kessie led her to a quiet corner.
“Hold out your hands.”
Ayo extended her hands, palms up. They were healing now, calluses forming over the thorn wounds, skin toughening.
Kessie placed something in them. A blade. Not a practice blade—a real one.
It was beautiful. Curved slightly, maybe eighteen inches long, with a leather-wrapped handle and a edge that caught the torchlight like liquid silver.
“This is a machete. Standard close-quarters weapon. Every Mino carries one.” Kessie watched Ayo’s face. “I’m giving you one early. You’re not supposed to have real weapons for six months, but I’m making an exception.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re ready to stop playing with wooden toys and start learning how to actually kill.” Kessie drew her own blade—longer, heavier, more worn. “This is what real combat feels like. The weight. The balance. The knowledge that if you fuck up, you don’t just lose the sparring match—you die.”
She moved into a fighting stance.
“Defend yourself.”
The attack came fast—faster than any practice bout. Kessie’s blade whistled toward Ayo’s throat.
Ayo raised her machete, blocked desperately. The impact nearly knocked the weapon from her hands. The sound of metal on metal was nothing like wood on wood—sharper, final, real.
Kessie didn’t stop. She attacked again, pressing forward, blade moving in patterns Ayo couldn’t follow.
Ayo retreated, blocked what she could, failed to block most of it. If these had been real attacks, she’d have died three times in as many seconds.
Kessie stopped. “You’re afraid of the blade.”
“It’s real. If I mess up—”
“You’ll get cut. Maybe badly. That’s the point.” Kessie lowered her weapon. “Fear makes you hesitate. Hesitation kills. You need to learn to fight through the fear. To trust that you’re fast enough, good enough, committed enough to survive.”
“I’m not any of those things yet.”
“No. But you will be.” Kessie raised her blade again. “Again. This time, don’t just defend. Attack. Try to kill me.”
“I can’t—”
“Yes, you can. I gouged out a warrior’s eye on your first day. You bit through someone’s throat. You can absolutely try to kill me.” Kessie’s eyes were hard. “Do it.”
Ayo looked at the blade in her hand. At Kessie standing ready.
At the choice being offered: fight for real, or stay safe.
She’d chosen safety once. In the village. Under her father’s hand. That choice had led to a slap, a betrothal, a life as property.
She’d sworn never to be safe again.
Ayo attacked.
