I Bleed For You

Prologue"Please do not leave me, not now, please, I don't want to be a widow" Lume cried her eyes out while holding onto the cheeks of her husband in her palms but the King of Akozo was dying and he wanted his Queen to run, yes, to run for her life for the Witch and her dragon were approaching and it wouldn't be long until she caught up with her and the rest. The Witch's quest was to destroy and her dragon was helping her achieve that while raining fire in the land of Akozo. "I want you to tell the story of this day to our child whom you carry in your womb. Don't give him your tears, give him your story, that story is what he will need to motivate him to do what needs to be done. You can't tell him of what happened here today if you will not be alive to do so, so go and follow the officials, go now. I'm already a dead man""Why would she do this to us?!" cried Lume.The newly married Queen, Lume sobbingly removed her lips from his mouth the moment King Zakiza breathed his last with

Akiza's mother and Akiza with some of their house servants entered the grand palace of the King of Dodo. They waited for his presence. Shortly after the king appeared and both mother and son bowed their heads in greetings but their was a strain of anger in the face of the king as he took his seat, looked around and pointed straight at Akiza,"You ungrateful son of your mother, did you not think it right to honor me?, you dishonor me by disregarding my daughter. Now you speak to her as you like, as if she is a commoner. I should have you pay for this!" Akiza's mother wasn't pleased with the manner the King had spoken to her son."With all due respect King of Dodo, if these two; your daughter and my son are going to have to marry each other we should learn to leave them to settle their issues by themselves. You have made this a routine; to call upon my son and disgrace him infront of your officials because of your daughter who has refused to grow up" The Witch wasn't sorry this time and

Inside the Chambers of Aromo, friend to the mother of Akiza, in the land of Dodo, Akiza could still not grasp the reason behind his dizziness; what he had done with Aromo wasn't his first time but immediately he got down from her bed he staggered and nearly fell. The woman had stood up from the bed half naked and walked up to him where he was holding the wall of her room and in his mind full of thoughts. It was in the middle of the same night Akiza's mother left on a horse. "Come back to bed, let me ease your mind" she spoke softly, holding him by the hand but Akiza withdrew his hand, "What have you done to me?" he asked hoarsely but it seemed the woman wasn't ready to open up to him. He went for her neck and grabbed it with his strong arm. The woman tried to struggle but he pinned her against the wall and brought his face closer to hers, "Even in my weakness I can still knock you off. You tell me right away, what have you done to me?!" He squeezed her neck and the woman couldn't utt

Inside the room where Akiza was locked inside an old cage Aromo walked in with one of her security men and asked him to leave them alone. the security man left the room and Aromo walked round the iron cage until she finally stood infront of it. Akiza raised up his weary head and his gloomy face and spoke;"Your mind tells you that my mother is going to abandon me? You make a terrible mistake but you wouldn't know now would you? No you wouldn't, not until your sins are presented before you to see and the consequences of your actions...""Keep your mouth shut" Aromo began "I have nothing against your mother but I'm a religious person and..." Akiza chuckled and the woman paused before she continued, "Very well, since you want to hear it; I'm a Witch like your mother but she hasn't been a generous friend. You know what I'm talking about; she alone gets the good stuffs, she alone secured the favours of the King of Dodo. I am a born daughter of Dodo land but my people don't respect me, they

Princess Damina of Dodo Kingdom was now in another land called Abumu where she ran off to during the invasion of the Witch, the mother to a man she had always loved. She hissed as she remained seated near the window of the bar she was inside with a bartender standing before her. She could not possibly call what happened two years back in her father's palace a war, no, that was not a war but a disgrace. She had never seen a dragon until that day and having heard that her father was dead she had imagined many ways Samata must have used the dragon to kill her father, the King of Dodo. The bartender was now impatient and he wanted to leave then she regained herself and asked for a cup of drink. She was offered one and it tasted strange. She sighed again, not sure if where she had been all these while was where she was meant to be. She had been hiding her identity the very day she set her feet in the land of Abumu because she knew that many who hated her father in the land of Abumu would
