The German Chicken day (Anders Jahavochic day)

Sir Anders Jahavochic was born in 1846 to mother Annette Marie Franz-Jahavochic and father Klaus Martin Jahavochic. Anders had 3 siblings, two brothers and one sister. His brothers names were Felix, who was the third child, and Simon, the youngest. His sister Abigail was his closest friend and they spent much of their childhood together, exploring the fields surrounding their small cottage in the plains of The Kingdom of Hanover. As the oldest, Anders had the responsibility of watching and taking care of his siblings, which historians believe started to make him a leader. At the age of ten, Anders watched his father be beaten mercilessly by a band of drunks at the tavern, and vowed to get revenge. His father survived the beating, but died when Anders was 13 when he was shot by a hunter while he was on a walk. Anders took up a job as a blacksmith's apprentice to help his mother with the finances, and due to the strenuous physical activity became extremely strong. Simon died on Christmas day from an unknown illness, and Felix left to go live with their aunt in the Netherlands. When Anders turned 18, he left his home to travel the world and become a warrior so he could protect those he loved. Throughout his travels, he learned martial arts from a wandering Japanese merchant who put him in contact with Ander's first sensei, Hinataro Murashini. Anders became proficient in hand to hand combat during this time, and was later taught the ancient art of sword fighting and use of the katana. During his travels through the Mesopotamian region, he learned archery and use of the shield from his second teacher, a woman named Athena Lantios. Athena was murdered by a gang of ruffians who were trying to steal from her store, a fabric shop that held a majestic gold trimmed tapestry featuring a lone knight fighting a horde of the undead. Anders returned home in 1870 to assist in the battle against the French, thus helping create the German Empire. Anders was a key participant in The Battle of the Iron Hills, where breaking through a line of gun fire, Anders demoralized the enemy by beheading the French captain and fighting 8 infantry men on his own. Anders returned to his home in now the city of Hanover where he found out his mother had been stricken ill by the same disease that his brother Simon had died from. Annette died in 1875 from her disease, leaving Anders and Abigail on their own. Abigail later married the new blacksmith Walder Hanks and moved with him. Anders never saw Abigail again. During the next 6 years, Anders traveled the world acting as a wandering mercenary, and was said to have fought 30 men on his own with just a broadsword. On April 8th, 1895, the village that Anders was currently in was attacked by a rogue group of bandits set on killing all who were inside. As the only person in the village fit to fight, Anders was alone. Using the local farm animals to lure the enemy into close spaces, Anders used his extreme strength to wield a two handed weapon in one hand and cleave through them effortlessly. Its estimated that between 200 and 300 mercenaries were defeated by Anders. At the end of the battle, Anders faced off against the leader of the bandits, a Spaniard nicknamed Ricardio del Diablo. He was being hunted worldwide by bounty hunters, as his government put a wanted dead or alive bounty on his head. Through a long battle, Del Diablo began to get the upper hand over Anders and was about to finish him when a chicken leaped into the air, temporarily blinding him. Using the distraction, Anders grabbed the Katana that his master bestowed upon him and cleaved Del Diablo in two. Anders saved over 100 innocent people from dying that day, and was knighted by his government for defeating such a ruthless criminal. Sir Anders Jahavochic died in 1927 at the age of 81. The cause of death at the time was declared as "Natural Causes", but scientists viewing the dead body found evidence of stab wounds, possibly indicating the knight was either murdered in his sleep or died fighting. Every year on April 8th, citizens around the world celebrate the life and heroics of Sir Anders, and hope that heroes like him are always in supply.
