"My love" Dinka began, "Is there something I cannot do for you? The gods who made it possible have decided that these men in the army volunteer without having to be commanded to follow me to bring back your son's wife from the land of Diadoma. We are well prepared but before we go we have come that you may give us your blessings." Samata who could not hold back her tears stepped forward and in the presence of everyone gave Dinka a kiss on the lips."You have made me so proud today, leading out these men for me and attempting to go to war for my sake there is nothing I would ask for more than it. You have my blessings Dinka. I will be here praying for your safe return, my love and my hero" When she was done she stepped back and Dinka turned to face the crowd and when he drew his sword he began to raise it up in the air and to chant. the crowd then joined him and began to chant a solidarity song. When they were gone Samata retired to her chambers and retook her seat, sad.*****When Din
When the Prophetess left Lume to rest she walked up a hill and stood there, looking down the cliff. She shrugged. She was thinking deeply about Abi whom sh had met in Abo land. She wondered what he was thinking when he had to come to her in the manner that she did. She believed in his love for her and prayed that he found the peace before he joined his ancestors. She shook her head and shrugged again, with hands on her waist. This woman was so beautiful, more beautiful than before Lume has asked her once, "Your beauty scares me. You and I have passed through alot here in this forest. You and I under this scorching sun you should have gotten darker and uglier yet you are not instead you grow more beautiful and robust. Is the god of the earth also taking care of your life and your skin?""The skin is part of my life" The Prophetess had joked before she put in, "It is not always like that with everyone who is called to serve in the body of the gods. I am like this because my mother was
Aromo kept watching Lume as she continued to speak words of faith on and about her unborn child. This moved her but still didn't and wasn't enough reason why she would decide to take her eyes from her mission; from ensuring that everything about the sisterhood was protected and established. She wasn't ready to take her eyes off the system that had made her who she was; the sisterhood had saved her life many times and had stood by her countless times. She remembered what she discussed with that sister after they were done with the meeting at the land of Dodo concerning the death of the mother of magic. Even though the whole sisters are yet to accept Cury as their leader and some of them was not in good terms with another she wasn't ready to betray the sisters, not even the words from the god of the earth was she ready to remember and allow reshape her mindset. Lume noticed how she was staring into space and waved her hand. Aromo was startled back to her senses and she sighed and hissed
DrivenWhen Lume and the Chief Guard returned to where the Prophetess and Aromo were they could no longer find them. This annoyed the Chief Guard more than Lume had anticipated and she felt there was really truth in what the Prophetess had spoken concerning the Chief Guard. She looked at him for a while and spoke, "But you shouldn't be so much disturbed. They might be somewhere close in this place. Do we need to worry this much by now. We only need to look around" The Chief Guard looked at her angrily and turned to walk away but just then he stopped, turned to her once again and said, "Pray the Prophetess returns. having learnt how important you are to her she must return else I will have to take you with me and she, will be forced to look for me""You know, I have always neglected when the Prophetess spoke of her suspicion of you. I thought she was being too serious with our mission but if I may ask; why do you feel you need her more than you need me? Are you not supposed to be conce
The Prophetess having found that Aromo would soon finish her up, having not the power of her own she called on the god of the earth and just then she was taken up and of the presence of Aromo. IAromo looked around her and realising that the Prophetess was gone struck her palm on the ground and she too disappeared into thin air. When the Prophetess was released by the wind she fell to the ground in a strange place and when she sprang up she saw the god of the earth standing before her. She immediately went down on her knees and kept mute. "You need to get back to Lume and to present yourself by the Chief Guard else your mission is uselessed" He then disappeared. The Prophetess rose immediately and while she ran she was carried up by the wind and brought to where Lume was tied to a tree and when she turned she saw the Chief Guard standing with a long stick in his hand. "What the hell are you trying to do?!" she asked out of anger."Very well, so you came back. I thought you were gone
The man inside the chamber of Cury then raised the staff up and hit the pointy end to the ground and that instance he fell dead. Having seen he was dead and having known that she had been disentangled from the powers of the staff Cury left the palace of Diadoma at once. *****Amanda and Khal found a cow rearer and helped him water his cows. The man helped them by giving them some bread and some water. Khal drank his water like a hungry animal and passed it to Amanda. Amanda drank and for a while she felt like she had taken in something strange into her stomach. She looked at Khal and Khal himself who was staring at her questionably was the first to fall flat on the ground. It then downed on Amanda that the cow rearer had poisoned the water which he gave to them. She stood up to confront him but she too fell and fainted. The cow rearer then walked up to them holding the rope that held his horse, he then picked up the staff which Amanda had held from the palace of Samata. He looked at
"You?" Aromo who stood up was shocked to see Cury staring eyeball to eyeball with her."I'm not here for trouble" said Cury."Are you not now? Where is your staff, the one you took from our mother before or after killing her?" At that point Cury knew Aromo was going to fight her but she wasn't ready for that kind of fight. She had heard alot about Aromo, especially during the time she was still under the care of the mother of magic. Once the mother of magic had told Cury, "But what I'm telling you this night is that despite the fact that I love you I still will not be able to give to you what I have given to some of your sisters whom you don't even know. They carry enough power in them and they can do some things you can't do my dear. Some of their names are Samata from the land of Akozo but lives here in Dodo. Another is Aromo who is from this land of Dodo and very powerful too, but not as powerful as Samata. I tell you this so you will have to respect them, not to fear them but to
The Prophetess of Dodo sat on the ground and wept bitterly after Abi left them. The Chief Gaurd who fainted after Abi left his body sat up on the ground, dusting the back of his head and feeling pains all over his body. He couldn't remember anything that happened. He looked back and forth and saw Lume and the Prophetess. He rushed to Lume and untied her from the tree where she had been tied. He then rushed to the Prophetess and helped her to stand up. When she had stood up she walked up to Lume and held her hands. "I know that you are stressed and you need some rest. Come with me and with the one with us, that we may go to a village called Akog. I have heard that they are a peaceful people. Even though they have been in great conflict with the people of Dodo due to the offense caused them by the sisters of magic I believe they won't chase us off. What we need is where we can stay, whom we can stay with and trust" Lume waited for her to finish before she hugged her. The Chief Guard sto
