Karmagha

Hope Sparks

Chief Manda’Uke tapped the king to allow him speak.

“Dear people of Karmagha I greet you.”

There was relative calmness.

He continued, “The king is not in oblivion of the ordeal in Karmagha and I must tell you that he has been doing his best to manage the situation. We are all aware how he’s been of assistance in the area of food to everybody in this Kingdom though he’s also affected. As for the curse on the land, it will soon be lifted: the goddess Saramandra had assured. Don’t lose faith in Saramandra, remember the goddess showers us with rain at least three to four times in a year. This is because of her love for this Kingdom. The chosen one will soon surface, when I say soon, I mean very soon. He will defeat the evil sorceress and return the kingdom to its normal state. Our salvation is near now.”

There was distant charter among the people

“He’s right.”

“I think we ought to have faith in the great goddess, if she has been showing us mercy to send rainfall, then she will certainly fulfil this one.”

“The wise Chief has spoken well; his wisdom is greatly admired.”

“Our salvation is near now!”

The people made a U-turn and went home with a joyful countenance, comforting themselves with the words of Chief Manda’Uke. They began singing the praise of Saramandra for the things she had done for them which they did not take note of but was pointed to it by the Chief.

Anthony did not forget the lady who helped him, he kept wandering how such a beautiful girl should be brave. Sitting on his wooden chair outside close to the tree in his Father’s compound, he unconsciously said, “I don’t think she’s married.” He smiled and continued preparing the meat he caught in the early hours of the day. A week later, he went hunting and saw the same lady; she came hunting too. Anthony’s heart sunk then he put up a pleasant smile and approached her. Hearing the noise of the shaking bush and footstep approaching towards her, she took cover and aimed to shoot.

Anthony lifted up his voice and said, “Don’t shoot, it’s your friend the one you saved the other time.”

Lowering her gun, she came out to meet him. “How have you been?” she said,

“Seems like you’ve fully recovered.”

“Yes. You came to hunt?”

She signaled with her head in affirmation. Anthony was already lost admiring her leaving the lady in confusion.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I am. I was just wondering what a beautiful lady like you is doing hunting.”

He moved close to her and removed the leaves that were stuck to her, although she hesitated.

“Let’s get hunting.” She said and moved a while from him.

Few months later, Anthony married the lady; this was the talk of the town as many ladies were displeased with his decision. Her loved her as himself, they lived together in his compound. Being aware of the ordeal in Karmagha, she still wants to be with Anthony believing that change will surely come. At some point, she became a mocking stuck as many had told her that she would have married from her town than to come to a cursed land as Karmagha where their women are barren. However, giving a deaf ear to their words, she reaffirmed her love for Anthony. They did their honeymoon in that cave where the lions they killed came out from.

Anthony was blessed with a baby boy; during her pregnancy, many had thought that the baby will be miscarried but to their greatness surprise she delivered safely. Young men from Karmagha ran to the neighbouring kingdoms to get wives for themselves including those who had married but are childless. Unfortunately for them, they were still barren. Many began to wonder, what made Anthony give birth? What could be the secret?

Forgus and Ella were alone in a classroom discussing, their learning is approaching to an end; it’s indeed an emotional atmosphere. “So, you mean you will still be here? I want you to be with me always.” She subs as tears rolled down her cheeks. Forgus could not withstand her tear, he went close to her to clean it with his hands. His hands touched her breast, he stopped

Immediately. She smiled at his bulging trouser and squeezed it. His hot breath was felt by Ella as he moved to give her a kiss; his hand gently swept her hair away as he tenderly kissed her, causing her nipples to harden instantly. Suppressing a pleased moan, she leaned back allowing him to knead her breasts over the fabric of her clothes. It’d been long since they anticipated this encounter despite being together for a very long time.

Facing him, she raised herself on a tiptoe, meeting his gaze with conviction. Their lips locked in a passionate embrace, and she surrendered to his roaming hands. As his hands explored her body, her own hands went on an exploration of their own. Struggling with his belt, she settled for unzipping his trousers, feeling his hard erection through his boxers. He moaned against her throat, and they quickly moved to the table at the right corner of the classroom, eager to satisfy their desire.

She pulled down his trousers, feeling his ragging erection. His precum dripped onto her camisole, and he followed it with his mouth, biting her gently through the fabric. Moaning with pleasure, she felt his tongue on her nipples, her weak spot. His fingers explored her most intimate area, finding her already wet and ready.

Desiring a fast and intense experience, she implored him not to hold back. Taking his heavy member in hand, he slowly entered her, watching her intently. Impatient for more, she lifted her hips to meet him. With powerful thrusts, he pounded her and she writhed with pleasure.

The noise from the table drew the attention of Mr. Anglo who’s inspecting the whole premises. He thought it to be a rival who had gained entrance into the institute, he quickly reached out to his wand in his pocket and opened the door gently.
