Souri lived in Sundus, located in the Middle East. She had a long curly thick brown hair that almost touched her hip, olive skin, big almond-shaped green eyes, full eyebrows and sometimes she wore the traditional Arab dress.
She was out playing an archery with Princess Amira and Sonia. She was beating two girls and even broke her record. But then her arrows and bow got stolen by Dashtangi who intends on beating Souri and succeed with the help of Amira and Sonia. Souri attempted to take back her arrows and her bow but Dashtangi refused and they were both fighting and her arrows got snapped and the string from the bow got bend too much.
Souri stood there, her heart pounding, as she looked at the broken arrows and the bent bow. She felt a surge of anger, but also a strange sense of calm. She turned to Dashtangi, her eyes flashing with determination.
“I may not have my arrows and bow now,” she said, her voice steady. “But I promise you, Dashtangi, I will beat you. Not with these broken arrows, but with my skill and spirit.”
Dashtangi laughed, but there was a hint of unease in his eyes. He knew Souri was not one to make empty promises. Amira and Sonia looked at each other, unsure of what they had set in motion.
In the days that followed, Souri trained harder than ever. She practiced with makeshift bows and arrows, honing her skills. She ran, she climbed, she pushed herself to the limits. Her promise to Dashtangi was not just about winning a game anymore. It was about proving to herself and to everyone else that she was not defined by the tools she used, but by her determination and spirit.
The day of the rematch came. The whole of Sundus had turned up to watch. Souri stepped into the arena, her heart steady, her eyes focused. She had no arrows, no bow. All she had was her promise.
And she kept it.
With a makeshift bow and arrows, she played like never before. Each shot was precise, each move calculated. The crowd watched in awe as Souri, the girl with no arrows, outplayed Dashtangi. It was not just a victory for Souri, but a victory for every girl in Sundus. It was a testament to their spirit, their resilience, and their ability to rise above challenges.
And so, Souri’s promise was not just kept, but it echoed throughout Sundus, inspiring every girl, every woman, to believe in themselves and their abilities. And that was Souri’s true victory.
