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
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
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
"You don't have to be sorry my daughter. Now come with me for there are things I need to tell you, perhaps after I'm done telling you those things you can decide to have a rethink about what you want or how you want it" the mother of magic then held onto her and they both disappeared into thin air once again. Once they were done Abi and the remaining of his men came to that spot and he bent down to smell the ground. He then rose."They were here. They are gone for good from Abo land. We should devote our time searching for my love. Just when I thought Miri was going to give to me what I have always desired to have with her she disappears once again but what else am I living for if not to get my hands on her and make love to her. I have to make love to her, I have to take something with me, a memory with me while leaving this world. If I go without having to make love with Miri, if I go to the underworld without making love to her I will forever regret my entire existence. Because of h
While the Mother of Magic was speaking Cury was looking at the staff. The mother of magic had to call her back to herself and she looked directly at the mother of magic and there was a question she asked, "You said that who will succeed you?""Samata" answered the mother of magic before tried to stand, "Samata?" Cury was not pleased, "I know she is my sister in this family but I hate that you have chosen her as your successor. I mourn my biological sister today because of her, because she took war to the land of Akozo and didn't care to know who was at the receiving end of her violence. I hate to hear that you have decided to make her your successor. Recently you said you trust me more than the others why then are you willing to make another your heir while I'm here with you?""Cury you must not talk that way. We do what the gods instruct" "The gods? Does the sisterhood still worship the gods?""Careful now child, you are in the gods cave" "I'm where? Here where you live, where you
Aromo was stung by bees and she found herself rearing in pain inside a forest. She had found out that looking for Lume had become a journey to death for her. She had set off trying her best to return to the land of Akozo with the prove of her loyalty to Samata by dragging Lume to her but it seemed the gods were with Lume and she would not be able to find her. She had been shown her pictures by Samata and she had one of those pictures with her yet it was not enough. She was dying.****Inside the dungeon in the palace of Akozo there sat Kal as he was filled with regret of not being able to kill Samata. Recall that while Samata stood up in her room, knowing what Kal was about to do she had used the rare magic which could make someone sleep all of a sudden. The magic worked fast and soon while still holding onto the dagger Kal fell down and slept. When he fell Samata sighed deeply before calling in the same general that threw off the corpse of Kal's wife. The general then took him away
"I am a man who loves all, I love the poor and the rich, I love the sick and the healthy, I love the lost and the found, I love the dead and the living, I love the children and their parents, I love both women and men, I love the mad and the sane. I am man who has been consumed by love because I'm love. I have tried many times to show the world this love but no one seems to be listening to me. I have tried to reach humans what it means to love but man has neglected my counsel. I decided to roam about showing love to those who are bruised and those who are lost. I go about making the lost found and the weak strong, to the hateful I make to love, to the unkind I show kindness and to grieved I console. You see my daughter when I saw you lying down there it was my love for you that moved me to you. I didn't know what would have become of you if I had left you to die there and so I offered to help. When I brought you in here in my abode I didn't mind to ask who you were or what evil you ha
The Chief Guard who escaped from the land of Diadoma found himself in a strange place and he dismounted the horse he had escaped with. He looked about him and walked to the stream that he saw. Having been so thirsty bent over the water and was about to scoop it with his hand when he saw someone standing behind him through the water. He had risen all of a sudden in order to fight the person but the stranger was faster as he used the bottom of his sword to strick him to the ground and he fainted. The man looked sideways, bent over him, picked him up and lowered him on his huge shoulder before he then walked away.When the Chief Guard opened his eyes he saw himself lying in the midst of strange looking men and he was startled, tried to get up but discover his legs were tied. He was helpless. The leader of the men spoke to him."You should not be scared, I mean for now. Our discussion is going to be brief and then you will be on your way" the leader was speaking."Who are you, what am I d
"The dragon rained fire in every corners of the earth" boasted Samata but Aromo raised her head and spoke, "In Ngiga it didn't rain, fire didn't rain my mistress" Samata then looked at Lume, "And you, you who married my mortal enemy""My husband wasn't your mortal enemy, your mortal enemy is the one kneeling before your side. I mean wasn't because of her your only son died? You stand to accuse me" Lume then stood up. "Are you insane? How dare you?" Samata slapped Lume across the face and she stood up in anger. "Go ahead and kill me, isn't that what you are known for? You only but kill, you kill and your dragon kill, that ancient evil creature that breathed fire on the innocent children of the earth. I know that you believe in yourself so much that you don't think someone can stop you but..."Amanda gave birth to my late son's son. The child didn't die before Amanda gave birth to him and died. I know that somehow you are thinking that my death will be the end of everything about me b
Seated on the throne Samata was moved to think again, the very day that Aromo challenged someone in her presence. She didn't know the person was a Prophetess of Dodo and that day they saw hell. Seated on the throne of Akozo she kept thinking so hard about everything and how far she had gone with Aromo. She knew without being told that things weren't the same again between them, with Aromo being responsible for the death of her son Akiza. At this thought once again she stood up and went outside. She was approached by one of the officials who stood before him and asked, "We are being told that things aren't the same again by the other officials who are no longer near us but stays outside the city. They say we do not have an army again and we do not know what else to do. Is it not a thing of pain that most times we neglect the things that matter most. Now that your dragon had burnt to ashes the army that should be in the camp which other army are we to use?""Use and do what?" Samata ask
When it was evening the two arrived in the godscave and the mother of magic looked up to her face, the face of Samata and then spoke to her after sometimes. "You are not just a person from the land of Akozo but you are royalty and the child you carry is royalty too. At this Aromo looked at Samata and wondered what else she hid from her. The mother of magic continued, "You are a Queen from the royal home of Akozo. How true is this?" "You are right mother of magic. I came straight to Dodo from the palace of Akozo" admitted Samata and this touched Aromo who was forced to ask, "What else are you hiding from me Samata?""I never hid the part where I'm the Queen of Akozo or where I was the Queen for I'm no longer a Queen, but you remember you never gave me the opportunity to speak further as you asked me to leave your house immediately. What else would you have me do, force myself to stay and have you throw me out by force?"That night Aromo and Samata went to Aromo's house and while they
Having left the place of Aromo Samata headed towards the next village in the same land of Dodo. She planned to find a way to stay where no one would be able to question her about herself so deep or be able to read her mind and suspect her. On the other hand Aromo headed to the godscave in the land of Dodo. In the godscave was where the mother of magic was staying and there she has disciples whose duties were to carry important messages across to the sisters of magic across the world. When Aromo arrived the godscave she met the mother of magic already seated and expecting her."I knew you were coming. It already reached my ears before you arrived. Is it not a new thing that you came on a day like this? You hardly come at a time like this" The mother of magic was saying."I'm sorry but coming over here to see you all I wanted to do is to ensure that I'm doing the right thing. Mother of Magic, I just want to know if I'm doing the right thing or not. I want to know if someone I accepted
"You believe in the earth god and also in your mother but between these two whom do you believe in more?""Of ourselves our mother. She founded the sisterhood and it was only when she found it and initiated us that we began to know what it means to have freedom. We were before those who were broken, with some of us made to suffer in the hands of the officials of the King of Dodo. Even though the King isn't a bad one his governors and commanders of his armies are bad and did unspeakable things to those of us that found solace in the sisterhood. We hadn't joined then and it was when we came together, each of us with her own story of how she suffered in the hands of the governors, commanders and other officials of the palace of the King. We then decided that we had to join our mother whom through we had seen raw display of power. We then went ahead and had in our minds to create a common goal, never to allow anyone intimidate us again whether man of woman. It worked for us because we gre
The next day after she had buried the dead bodies she found herself thinking of what next to do. She stood up once and paced and then in that same morning, very early in the morning she saw a great number of young men and women with clubs and with other weapons troop into the compound because they had been told that the owner of the house had been killed. Samata did not know how they got the information. They went into the house and dragged her out. One of them said it would be a waste of spectator if they killed her in the house instead it would be worth what she committed if they could drag her to the open market where the whole people would witness her death. The rest agreed to this and then they dragged her out of the house and headed with her to the market square where they intended to have her stoned to death.When the people had gotten to the market with Samata and her baby they pushed them to the ground and were getting stoned to stone her death when a voice of someone was hea
Now that you have destroyed the world what else would a helpless old man like me be doing here on earth. Go ahead and kill me" Samata shortly stepped out with her fingers bloody. she had killed the Seer.Goge and Arore with the Prophetess arrived the Sea and boarded a ship. Meanwhile where Lume was with Aromo she had begged her not to do what she had decided to do, begged her to please spare her life and not enter the land of Akozo with her but then it wasn't what was expected by Lume because Arome had made up her mind and nothing was going to stop her."Don't tell me not to take you to Akozo Queen..If you are left here or with your daughter and those with her who claim to be doing the right thing what good will you do for her or for anyone. You know why I must take you to the Queen of Akozo? Because already I'm owing her, owing to the fact that because of me her son Akiza died. I want to make it up to her my dear and there is only one way to do that, to present to her that which she
There was total hatred from Samata to the rest of those in the palace. She began to see everyone in the palace as the problem she had had. First she hated the King and vowed she wasn't going to have anything to do with him again, then she hated his advisers believing it was they who led him astray and then he hated Rimma whom she believed was responsible for the King's coldness towards her. As days passed by, days turned to weeks, weeks to months and after Samata gave birth to Akiza she decided she was going to kill the King by herself and upon killing him she would instill her son Akiza on the throne as crown Prince but she planned to kill him secretively, then kill Zakiza after some months or years and then install her son as crown Prince.The day she planned this she went to the King's room to inspect it before the night came. At night she crept into the King's room and having met only him there, having planned to kill him alongside His wife and the new born baby Zakiza she didn't
The King of Akozo that night didn't sleep a bit. He didn't go to see Samata in her room and even if he had gone Samata wouldn't have opened the door for him for she was very angry with him that night. Rimma didn't say a word until when she was sure the atmosphere was conducive enough. "My darling. Why are you so shocked that you left your food unfinished in the dining?""My dear, I wasn't hungry anymore. You won't understand" said the King"I do understand and I understand that you are confused right now as to who to love most but that shouldn't be so, should it? You are married to both of us and we now have have children, I mean when she has...""That's not the issue Rimma, that's not the issue. I neglected that woman because she couldn't take it. I never thought it could be possible again but now everything has changed. She has taken in and it's just something else for me now. Here is what will happen right now; I will be going to meet with those who are going to advise me on what I
