I Bleed For You

Chapter 2

Akiza's mother stood on the large entrance of a large cave beside the building of her home and asked the armed men that were positioned to man the entrance to step aside and they did. They were scared and their fear shown in their faces. They knew what she was about to do. The Witch summoned the dragon from inside the spooky and dank cave where he was kept by the Witch and the large stone used to cover the entrance rolled off by itself. The dragon, huge, soon tore itself out from the cave, flapped his wings and growled loudly. He was ten feet and two inches long and weighed a massive three hundred and sixty five pounds.

He kept growling infront of the witch and the Witch looked up at him proudly. This was it; she was going to use this dangerous creature birthed through the use of ancient dark magic to lay waste the great kingdom of Akozo, where she was once married to a king.

The king of Dodo, King Magu was not happy after his daughter returned with tears in her eyes. He was not going to take it from Akiza; if he was not going to love his daughter he should step away from her like a man, but to bring tears to her eyes, that the king wasn't prepared to take. He rose and held his daughter who was sobbing and spoke to her in whispers, "You said he shouted at you? Has he not been told that despite his mother's wealth, influence and power I'm still the most powerful person in Dodo. I am King Magu and my father ruled these lands before me. I intend to hand it over to my own son when I'm no more. One thing our family is not tolerant of is insult and disregard. I will summon him and his mother. They will appear before me by this time tomorrow. Go in and rest" Princess Damina left her father with a sigh of relief. King Magu sat back on his seat and gnashed his teeth. He was not ready to allow any man, any human maltreat his only female child. He had a son who came before Damina but he had found himself to love Damina more than his only son. He lost his wife to the cold hands of death the day she gave birth to Damina and ever since then he had always seen his late wife in her. 

The Priestess of Dodo, a respectable spiritual leader of the kingdom was a very beautiful woman with no man in her life; Priestesses were forbidden to get married or entangle with a man. The next day she had come to stand before the king and relay to him the messages from the gods. She was so beautiful that her beauty moved the men that ushered her in to stand before the king. King Magu raised his face to behold the beauty standing before him and he wondered if there was anything he could do to have her on his bed. He had always secretly lusted after her but he wouldn't want to be the one who brings calamity upon his own kingdom by taking a Priestess to his bed, yet he found what was inbetween his legs unable to control itself in her presence. The Priestess stood before him and bowed her head in greeting. To her surprise the king dismissed every other person in the throne room and It was just her and the lustful king. The woman at first didn't know what he had in mind but when the king stood up and began to walk around her she suspected he was upto something no good. 

"My lord and my king?" she heard herself say and the king stopped moving, now standing at her back while the woman's eyes rolled from left to right, mind filled with confusion. She felt the kings hands grace her shoulders and she waited patiently, hand slightly shaking as she held filmly onto her staff, expecting him to explain the reason for his actions. "What is it my lord?" she forced herself to ask.

"There is nothing wrong. I have been thinking about the land and you" he said, by now standing in her front. The Priestess raised her eyes to look at his bearded face but before she could speak the King's finger crossed her lips. "Don't say a word. I know how hard It can be, in that cold shrine with no man to warm your bed. I am the king and I can make you comfortable" These words from the king sent anger into the Priestess and she angrily pushed him away from herself.

"My lord, you annoy me. You have no honor. Don't you know you bring a curse upon yourself by doing this?" She was moved to tears but the king wouldn't stop. The Priestess was annoyed. 

"I can do anything for a kiss. I can loose anything for a kiss. I have craved for this impatiently and the fire of my desire for you burns me in the inside" said the king and the woman looked at his face and wondered what motivated his foolishness.

"Your words carry weight in the spirit King of Dodo, I hope you know this?. Be careful the things you say" Warned the Priestess.

"I mean what I say and I say what I mean. Kiss me, go to bed with me and you can ask for anything you want and it shall be yours" promised the King. With tears in the eyes of the Priestess who already felt the defilement in her spirit by the sacred words of the King turned to him and spoke, "Have me king of Dodo for with your words you have defiled me already. Have me as you want and bear the consequences alone" The king smiled and carried her off her feet like a man possessed by a spirit. He took her into his chamber and made love to her. This was after he had sent a word through a messenger to inform Akiza's mother the Witch and her son Akiza to appear before him in his throne room just as he promised his daughter, the Princess. 

When the gate of the palace was raised to welcome Akiza's mother and Akiza, King Dodo regained himself and stood up from the bed, staring shockingly at the naked body of the Priestess of Dodo and realised as he recalled that he had fulfiled the prophecy of his late wife; before the late Queen passed on she had said, "I saw a very beautiful woman giving you a kiss until she bit you to death"
