Lita went and called the traditional healer who uses magic and charms. Although the prince doesn't believe in this type of powers, he has no option than to accept what ever form of help comes right now. The healer looks scary. He had lots of dead rodents dangling all over his over, tied at different places. His eyes are covered by a dark net hanging from his head. Konate's deputy had since taken over power and already changing laws where he can. When he heard of the news of bringing the healer, he tried to stop it but Claria had threatened to get him arrested by the guards of royal house of Agnus. After several spiritual practices and incantations, the healer had asked that konate and the prince needs to be taken to his shrine which is located at the eastern end of the village. They all walked out of the palace and headed towards the shrine. Four guards carried konate up on the shoulder, while four others carried the prince on the shoulders as well. Claria and Lita were both holdi
The healer revealed that it was konate's deputy that poisoned them both. His intention is to kill konate and take over the village as the next king.The healer allowed Claria and Lita to go in and see the prince. He looks pale and unable to utter any words to either Claria or Lita."But dont worry my daughers, there is something that can be done to heal him. The poison uses is a very dangerous one. The prince is very lucky to be alive. The only thing that can cure this is a bit far from this village" the old healer said to claria and Lita in the most comforting voice."Please tell me what to do. We are ready to do whatvever it takes to make sure he gets back on his feet" Claria said to the healer, then she turned to her left and look into the eyes of her sister and say to her "he is our responsibility. We have to save him however difficult it is" Claria added, while Lita simply nodded in agreement.The old healer walked to a corner in the shrine. He bent down on some wooden idol with
Claria and Lita have done all they could to destroy the monster but it only kept coming and even stronger. Their swords are getting blunt already and the monster doesn’t seem to be getting any weaker.The monster swinged its club hard towards Lita when she jumped up trying to strike the head of the monster.Her eyes caught up with the monster’s club coming fast at her. She can’t dodge it anymore or even do anything about the giant club that was coming at her. She watched it as it hit her hard on the air. It sent her flying about ten meters away from the actual fight scene.Claria was down there trying to find the right moment to strike the monster when she saw Lita flying and shouting above her. Her eyes and followed Lita until she fell on a tree and lay almost motionless on the bottom of the tree.Claria left the fight and ran to her sister who was not moving an inch ever since she fell.When she got to her sister, she turned her upwards and saw blood on her lips. She tappeded and ca
Claria has lost a lot of blood as a result of the wound caused by the spike on her shoulder. Her body is becoming weaker by the minute. Her vision is becoming cloudy and hazy.While she is struggling to follow the pattern to return to Lita, she is also struggling with a body that is getting weaker and a vision that is getting darker every second.She was able to make the three first steps by dragging her foots but the jump seems like something she can’t manage.Lita could see her from across the river and it is clear to her that her sister is badly injured and weak right now.“Be careful sister” Lita who was also struggling with a cracked rib managed to say while trying to stand up.Claria has been standing and trying hard to gather enough strength to make the jump. She raised her hand and tap on her ring, it opened the dimensional storage and she gently put the bowl in it. Then she bent down a little bit and sprang up with all the strength she could possibly muster. She jumped up but
The three people, including Lita, went into the shrine to see the prince.He laid as good as dead on a mat in the center of the dark room he is kept. The mat has been surrounded by candles of different colors. The room is filled with some smoke that smells awful. The three of them began to cough after inhaling the smoke in the room.They saw the prince laying down without a shirt and without a trouser. The only part of his body that is covered is his waist. His whole body has been oiled up.They walked closer to the prince who was still not showing any sign of life.The shock of what they have seen became visible on their faces. Lita took a step forward and bent down close to the prince. She raised her hand trying to touch him, but before she could do it, the old healer grabbed her hand tightly “you are only here to see him. You are not allowed to touch him”He then raised her by the hand and pulled her back wards and warned again about touching the prince.“why cant we touch him? We
She searched through the files for longer than she expected. Although they are arranged in alphabetical order, her targets file seems to be no where to be found in the cabinet.“where could it be? What is happening? Why isn’t his file here?” questions continue to pop endlessly in her head.Amidst the confusion and deep thought, she heard some voices coming from inside the prison. She tried to listen closer so that she could understand what the voices are saying but it just wasn’t loud enough to hear no matter how hard she tried to concentrate.“perhaps, just some prisoners who are not asleep yet” Lita drew the conclusion in her head and continued to search over the room for the file or anything that would lead her to the cell where her target has been locked.When she could not find the file, she decided to check inmates list which is another document that could take her the whole day to check if not for the alphabetical arrangement.“ohhhh….. my God, why didn’t I think about this f
I don’t have such an intention in my life. Although I have had several criminals as good friends, killing has never been anything I like or ever wanted to do. Few hours ago, all I wanted was to kill this man, that was my only goal. Right now, as much It feels good, it also makes me feel bad. But why? Could it be because of the amount of blood I saw on the ground?What ever it is, he deserves what he got. He has killed the king already, he is planning to kill more people just for power. I did the right thing by helping the world reduce one more bad egg.Lita has been standing in the cell, so restless that she could not sit down or even lay down. Her mind has been occupied with several confusing and yet satisfying thoughts.Its getting dark already and the smell of blood from cell thirty six has increased so much that LIta had to look around in her cell just to be sure there isn’t another pool of blood near her.She continues to be nervous thinking that a guard could walk in any minute
The old healer has collected the leave but he has refused to chew it. The crowd and especially konate’s wife are getting angrier every minute that the healer has refused to chew the leave of the devil plant.“I have a suggestion” konate’s wife stood up and say.Everyone turned to her and with a curious eyes waiting to hear what her suggestion is. When no one said any thing to her for some seconds, she said “there is another healer I know. Hi name is Boku He is not as good but he can definitely tell what this leave does. He lives alone about five miles from here. We can send the guards to go get him”“I agree my queen. We could use him” the village guards commandant said. He immediately raised his hand and called two guards who were standing among the crowd.“take the hover bikes and go get Boku. Tell him the queen wants to see him now” the commandant added.When the healer heard that Boku would be brought to come tell what the exactly the devil leave does, he snapped his hand out of
