I Bleed For You Chapter 34
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

The men of Diadoma that pursued Lume and the Prophetess under the leadership of Cury suddenly began to talk amongst themselves in whispers, with some of them complaining that the new Chief of Diadoma had to assign them a woman to lead them In a mission meant for men. At the mention of this Cury who was eavesdropping on them suddenly stopped her horse and got down. The men also stopped and wondered why she stopped all of a sudden. They wanted to know what was happening but she turned to face them and then she began to clap and to smile. The men found her action rather strange and funny. They looked at one another and then one of them asked, "What is it?""Nothing, I'm just clapping for you men, men right? I have been listening to your conversations and it interests me. I want to ask" she stopped clapping, "who amongst you is not comfortable that I'm the one leading this chase?" Five men got down from their horses and one of them spoke, "Is it not true and also irritating that a woman i

"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

"He really loved you" Lume admitted."Oh yes he did and that was the beginning of his downfall. You see my dear when I saw him standing there before me I was lost and i couldn't find my voice. I never thought i would get to see him again. When I looked and saw his face i had that strange feeling that normally came up to me whenever he approached me. On that day, when he entered my shrine I looked at him standing by the door. I needed him to stay but I knew too that letting him stay was going to be the end of his life; no man was to be seen with the Prophetess inside the inner chamber of her shrine. He stood there on that day and looked like he was going to hit me. I could feel his pains, his worries, his fears, the heartbeat in his chest. I didn't know the right words to utter to calm him down. Then came his voice, his breaking voice, "So they succeeded in taking you away from me Miri" I couldn't answer. My throat was heavy and couldn't produce any word. I wanted him to feel better bu

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

When Lume and the Prophetess reached a hill near the place where Abi and his men lived she and the Prophetess climbed it and there they stood. "Are you sure you want to be here?" Asked the Prophetess."If I didn't want to come i wouldn't have come. I'm here because I want to be here" answered Lume. The Prophetess then knelt and asked Lume to do the same and when they both had knelt down they began to pray, with Lume repeating after her. As they were praying suddenly the whole place became quite like a graveyard. The breeze stopped and the leafs of the trees around stopped shaking. It was at that moment that the Prophetess knew the god of the earth had come. She slowly opened her eyes and so did Lume. Lume was so moved in joy having seen the god of the earth for the first time. The god of the earth was smiling at the two women and somehow Lume felt this strange feeling of desiring to go and hug him. The Prophetess then wanted to speak but the god of the earth knows everything and it w

Aromo headed straight to where her instinct led her to. At some points she would stop over to have a meal and also water the horse and then continue her journey.*****Cury was standing on a mountain of Abo land with her men as she used her eyes to scan the whole forest, then turning to her men she said, "there is no doubt they were here but I can smell they are no longer here. Good thing is, we now know we are not missing our way, we now know we are heading towards the right direction" When she was done and turned to move she sensed a sharp noise in her ears and so she turned again and spoke, "it appears there is someone in this forest who is monitoring our movements. He knows why we have come here and he wants to have a word" Just immediately she was done speaking they turned left and saw some men climbing up the mountain. The men with Cury immediately drew their swords and charged. Cury watched the men as they stood before her and then the one that seemed to be their leader stepped
