Aromo, as young as she was had decided to be responsible and stayed away from the boys that admired her beauty in the land of Dodo. She was the only daughter of her mother and most of the times when the mother would leave her with her younger male siblings she would spend her time teaching them morals. She was decent and had a conducive approach to things and people. It was during one of those days when the children of one of the villages of Dodo would go to the stream to fetch water that Aromo met the man whom she later married and had to kill with her own hands two moons after their marriage. Remembering that incident always made Aromo sick. The incident which took place and time in Dodo and many years ago was always fresh in her memory. She wondered how she was able to pass through it all, the heartbreak, the mockery, the humiliation from people, how she was thrown out of her father's house and made to wonder about Dodo with nothing and with no one. She always felt she would never

The Queen of Akozo was on the balcony as she watched Aromo ride out of the palace. It was then that it downed on her that Aromo meant her words when she said she was going to look for Lume. She sighed deeply and went back to retake her seat. She then thought about her past and how she came to meet with Aromo. It was all a great memory and she would always wish her friendship with Aromo never got to the point it was now.******The soldiers sent out to find Lume and the Prophetess left the palace of Diadoma being led by Cury. Inside the hut where the Chief Guard was lying on the bed he got up and looked out through the window to find out that the soldiers had left in pursuit of Lume. He felt like a fool, for ever leaving the side of Lume and causing her to loose the trust she had in him. He wept bitterly wondering why his wife never for once mentioned that she had a sister. She lied she didn't have a family whereas she had one and the person she had as a sister was none other person bu

"You are going to have to play along. We have entered this city of Abo and we are not familiar with this place. Follow my leading and do not be scared" it was the Prophetess who was assuring Lume in whispers. One of the men, the same young man that spoke with the Prophetess turned to her and smiled. "We know you and we are not here to harm you, instead we have brought you to someone you need to see" the young man's facial expression changed and he suddenly buried his face in his palms and the moment he withdrew his hands he was no longer the same person but someone the Prophetess had known for years. The Prophetess was shocked as she stood there staring at the man unable to find her voice and speak. Lume who saw what happened couldn't say a word either for she was too dumbfounded to speak. Tears suddenly welled up the eyes of the Prophetess and she called his name, "Abi, is this you?""It is me my dear. It's been a long time" he smiled. The Prophetess looked around to see the faces o

After Samata was done taking he bath in the night she walked up to her room at the mirror and stood before it. It appeared to her she needed a man in her life. She had not thought about it for a long time now and it appeared she had allowed herself to be carried away by her desires to put things in order and to put her son Akiza on the throne of Akozo and at the result of such busy activities she had forgotten to attend to herself and to her desires of the flesh. She left the mirror and went to the bed, laying down on it she didn't close her eyes. She was moved by the desire and she got up again, headed straight downstairs and when she was down she looked around, seeing the guards all stationed at their posts. She then took notice of one of the men and beckoned on him. The young man dressed in his fine armour and looked gallant approached her and she told him to follow her.When both of them got to her room the young man entered and Samata shut the door. She could tell that the young

Amanda saw what happened but she was not moved to react. She was busy instead wondering why she felt like not leaving the palace even though she couldn't tell why she was unable to leave. She sat on her bed and could still remember the tears in the eyes of the guard, Kal whose wife was found dead on the streets the next day, after she paid a visit to the Queen. It was known that it was the Queen who killed her. Amanda who saw how the lady was killed by one of the generals who served the Queen still could not take it off her mind. She felt like crying as she sat in her room. The tears in the eyes of the lady, her pleading her hands, stretched forward as she begged the Queen to spare her life.It happened that after the Queen realised that Kal's wife was not ready to let go of the husband she called in the general that brought her and ordered him to tie her and keep her in her room. The lady tried to beg but was forbidden to do so. During these times Amanda who heard the noise had to le
