Shenali was fourteen and on the following days she would be at her Come of Age
ritual.

The tradition of her Indian Amazon caste ruled that a girl should be proved by
the Come of Age ritual to be accepted by the caste. There was no reprobation,
because in this case the girl would be dead. If she runaway, she would never
be accepted.

This tradition had its foundation due to the hard times that region were
facing, because an Amazon caste was always being threatened by other castes
and foreign intruders with obvious reasons.

So the women were trained since early ages to be a warrior and when she is
fifteen, she should be submitted to the Come of age Ritual.

The ritual was very simple, just hunt an adult tiger. The bigger the animal
was the better for the candidate.

Shanali was very skilled, excellent performance at all subjects and her
masters and mother and sisters were very proud of her. In spite of only a
teenager, with a cut face and childish smile, she had a body to make a today
fitness champion jealous of her. 1.85 m high, 80 Kg of muscle, no fat, granite
abs, rocky biceps, perfect ass and daring big breasts that challenged the laws
of gravity. Black long hair and color mocha skin. An exotic visual but the
living meaning of word beauty.

She was a little concerned about the ritual, because in spite of all her
abilities, the ritual meat death if she failed.

Anyway the day arrived and she was in the middle of the council, wearing her
ritual outfit, something like an one piece bikini made of silk to grant her
liberty of movements.

The ritual rules were read to her:

"Shenali, now you are about to become one of us. You must come back today with
your prey or preys. The bigger tiger you hunt the best position in our society
you will be granted. No help you shall have from anybody else and no weapon
you shall carry with as well no use of any you find or make is allowed. Tiger
must be brought here dead or alive, but by bare hands. This is to remind all
of us that we must improve ourselves and not our things, so that we must never
trust our lives on our things but on ourselves".

She responded: "I'll return with my trophy".

Immediately she left for the jungle.

After some hours seeking out for footprints or any evidence of tigers, she was
wet due to the over 40 Celsius heat.

But finally she found her prey. She thought herself: "Well. It's is time."

The tiger was really big what made her happy. Over 250 Kg of muscle, paws and
teeth. However, it did not notice her due to her hunting skills learnt since
she as a child.

Shenali had the initiative of attack. Now the predator would become the prey.
She climbed on a tree and jumped over its back.

Shenali gripped its head with both hands and its back was surrounded by her
legs. She started to pull its head back as they rolled on the ground.

This made her release the grip for a while and let the tiger escape. Now it
charged her. However, Shenali got to avoid its paws and gripped its jaws. She
stood up holding the jaws and spinned the cat releasing hands making it fall
four meters far from her a bit dizzy.

Shenali was getting excited, seeing that she could beat an adult tiger.

So she realized that it was time to finish it and attacked the cat. The cat
did the same but she got to surround her arms around the chest of the big cat.

The she started to squeeze. In spite of the claws ripping her skin, they were
not match for her iron muscles.

Shenali squeezed more and more, feeling that the tiger was getting weaker and
weaker, sopping moving. This made her smile in pleasure and she said: "We'll
see who's stronger: beast or girl".

And one by one the cat's ribs were being broken. Crack after crack until the
animal rested dead.

The fight made Shenali tired and she kneeled in front of the mouth bleeding
beast.

Before she could rest, she heard a noise behind her. Two other adult tigers
were about to jump over her.

These ones were even bigger, over 300 Kg each one.

Now she was over confident and Shenali laughed loud in ecstasy and said: "I
have company! Welcome to death big boys!".

Both beasts attacked at same time aiming her throat, but she punched each one
with each arm, making them fall. Immediately she jumped on one of them and
with one arm she gripped its neck and waited for the attack of the other.

When the other beast attacked, Shenali did the same with it and started to
squeeze their necks.

Slowly they were getting weaker and soon she was kneeled, holding one tiger in
each arm.

Shenali became so excited that she released the arm grips a little some times,
sadistically making them think they could escape.

After doing this five times, always smiling about their fool attempts, she
said: "Sorry boys, I do not have all day. Let's say goodbye".

Squeezing even harder, she shouted and the cracks of their broken necks were
loudly heard.

The two beasts fell on beside her.

Shenali looked to the scene of the three big predators dead, all killed by her
bare hands and felt very proud of her. No one had ever done it.

She threw her long black hair to her back and flexed her biceps, kissing them.

When Shenali returned to the council, she was carrying the three beasts, on
the right shoulder, another under the left arm and the third pulled by its
tail.

She was granted to become part of the caste and rated as the best hunter ever.
