2024-10-29 19:42:56One week was not that much time. It elapsed and the day for the execution of Mwithali and his minions had come. From the dungeons, they were taken as the people gathered into the arena in wait for yet another historic event. In Kamu, only such things and those like them would make the cut into the books of history. To those still with humanity in their souls, this was never a source of exhilaration. It was true that Mwithali and these warriors had made a mistake but they did not deserve to die.
No man had the right to take away another man’s life but, would you say such to King Martin, you could easily find your name next to Mwithali’s as an example to others. Most of the people did not like such events. They left them hurt and less of their loved ones. For Martin and those of his kind, this was a sign of true leadership and the duty of a true King. Whenever such executions had to be done, it was only the ordinal people that suffered and not those of the roy

This got her even more confused and therefore, she had serious homework to do. She had to find out why the maiden girl was immune to her great powers. At the back of her mind though, she had a clue of what could be causing it but it was hard for her to come to speed with the fact.There was once a rumor that, there lived people that were immune to such powers and the like. The why she could not come to speed with it was the how they were born. Those that had such abilities could only be born of a witch and a wizard of the highest order. She could not dare to imagine that Martha could be one of those. After all, she had the suspicion that Jessica might be her mother and there was no chance for her to be a witch. With all this information, she had quit a task to accomplish in piecing it all together and to make sense of it.As far as she was concerned, Jessica could never be a witch and, even if she was, there was no way that her husband could have been a wizard of the h

King Martin was following everything to the last detail because he did not want any stone unturned before the next attack. This close attention to the progress of his mission unveiled another discovery. People in the Kingdom had started to die mysteriously without any probable cause.This was not something to assume or joke about. Having been a member of the Kamu society since childhood, he definitely knew what that meant. The witches were back in action again and this time he had no clue whatsoever of what they could be after and why.Their biggest problem and dilemma was that, the witches were back and there was nobody in existence that could counter their powers. The Princess’s linage was the most powerful of witches in the land. Martin was sure that this finished with the death of his grandmother. Once this power was associated with a family, it was said to be in the blood of the off springs.This meant that this power was in their bl

The wizard continued saying that he was not told of a specific thing that should be changed but, it had to do with plummeting of the evil deeds that they were doing. Upon hearing this, the King and those around were shocked of the news.Although Martin got shocked as well, he could not fall for it that easily. This wizard had to prove that he was not the one behind this epidemic he talked about and more so, the deaths of people already happening in the land. He was thrown to the dungeon as a remedy in case things got worse. Martin could not risk letting him go.After the Princess heard of what the wizard had said, she went to visit him in the dungeon to inquire more about it. After they met, the wizard commented and said that he knew she would go to see him. This got the Princess confused and in wonder of why the wizard had to make such a comment.“Do not be afraid your highness. There is nothing to cause worry. It’s not that the go

At Lampa Kingdom, King Kang’ethe heard news of what was happening at Kamu. One thing he knew for sure was with what was happening at Kamu, Martin could not plan another assail any time soon. Above this, Kang’ethe could not thank the gods enough. He had believe that, it was by so doing that Martin could finally stop the hostilities and love peace.King Martin gave what the wizard had told him a thought and decided to do the honorable thing. He wanted the wizard to see that he was doing as the gods wanted. He also wanted a way to fool King Kang’ethe to giving him the throne without much of a fight. He also thought that by soon doing that the gods would not attack the land.This was because, according to his theory, the gods only hated wars and blood of the people having to be poured in the name of peace. This time he was for deceit. This was not war and the people did not have to die for his plan to work just the way he wanted it to. After all, pe

As Jessica and the wizard parted ways, the Princess was busy taking the part of the brother in ruling the Kingdom in preps for what she had planned for herself. If all went well, she was to be the rightful ruler of both Kamu and Lampa. In her mind though, she was disturbed by the thought of what the wizard had told her about knowing her more than just being a witch and her love for Joseph.She also needed answers from the wizard but this had to wait for a while until she was acquainted with the throne and giving the orders. This is not because she was not familiar with all this but because she wanted to know and do more so that the people of Kamu could get used to her rule. As far as she was concerned, she was to be the next ruler of the two Kingdoms as one.King Martin, the Captain and the warriors who left for the peace talks to Lampa were almost there. As they walked, the Captain and the King were talking. Mostly, the Captain was so much in need to know of the wizar

Martha, one of the maidens and Jessica’s daughter noticed something about her mother too. She seemed troubled ever since the wizard had arrived at the Kingdom. She also knew that it was not something about the Kingdom or the Princess but something more personal.Martha knew that her mother had met the wizard some days earlier. She knew her behavior must be related to what she was told by the wizard. This gave reason for Martha to ask the many questions she had for her mother. Ever since she was a child, her mother used to tell her that her father died in the war with Lampa.She believed that until then. This is because, every time she asked about her father, her mother would have the same kind of sentiment. Although she was not sure what the wizard had told her mother, she had a clue that it had to do with her father or their family.After all, this was the best time for them to have a talk with no hurry for only the Princess was left in the throne and she

“Why could he have killed me mother? What wrong had I done or you for him to want to kill me?” asked Martha.“Nothing wrong had you done my daughter. It is because King Guantai loved me so much and wanted me for a wife. As it turned out, I had an eye for Caleb, your father. We used to have an affair behind your father’s back and that I regret but, we the people were and still are bound to the royals’ will. I loved your father very much. I only did this to keep him alive for the both of us child. Forgive me for keeping this from you all these years,” said Jessica.“It is okay mother do not worry. I hold nothing against you. After all, you did all this to keep us alive. Thank you mother but still I need to know why all this came up after meeting the wizard.” said Martha.“It’s only that the wizard mentioned to me something about having hope and not thinking that my husband was dead. He said it in a way th

King Martin, the Captain and the warriors arrived at Lampa Kingdom. They were welcomed properly by the warriors on guard and taken to the King. On arrival at the palace, King Kang’ethe was so surprised to see them. It was not an ordinary thing for King Martin to visit Lampa. Even during times of war, Kang’ethe knew that Martin needed not to visit them but send the Captain. Seeing Martin, meant that he was in serious need of Lampa’s help.Kang’ethe was certain that Martin must have had something way beyond his reach for him to visit Lampa. He was not the kind of King to humble himself that easily. After all, some days ago, Kang’ethe had heard rumors that Kamu Kingdom was under the attack by the witches and people were dying mysteriously.Upon seeing Martin in his land, he proved these rumors true. He knew that the witches could only be stopped by the wizards and his Kingdom was home of these wizards.“I salute you my fellow Kin

Upon hearing this, Kang’ethe could not believe his ears. He thanked the gods much for this turn of event. The thought of Martin falling for a woman was hard to believe. Since the note said it and Martin had written it himself, Kang’ethe seemed convinced.More so, Kang’ethe could not believe that Martin had fallen for his lost daughter.

“Why is it that a powerful King as you could sneak out of his own Kingdom with a peasant like me? What is there for me to offer more than Kamu could to you?” Catherine asked Martin.“Well it’s good that you ask that question. There is more to it than it meets the eye besides the good one feels in power. What good is power without happiness, without love and someone to care about and one who cares about you?” asked Martin.“True. There is not joy in power without happiness but I do not see how someone like me could offer you happiness my lord. I am not worthy of this.” replied Catherine.“Save it Catherine. You are worthy of every bit of my actions. Someone like you can offer me joy when someone like me is in love with you. I will say this that I have said to no woman before, I love you Catherine. Since I saw you at the fortress, I knew that you were my happiness and that the gods had granted me that which matters m

Jasper too told them not to worry about anything. He ascertained that whatever Jessica was telling them was the naked truth and that the contents of the letter were true. Their daughter was alive as they were told.“My King, do not worry about the contents of the letter being a lie. It is true that your daughter is alive and she was here. They fled last night with the King or, should I say Martin and nobody knows where they are.” said Jasper to Kang’ethe.“May I ask you wizard, how do you know of the letter being true and how sure are you that Martin did not go to kill her?” asked Kang’ethe.“Don’t you think it would have been much easier for him to kill her while everybody watched than go through the trouble of killing her in the forest. No man can go through such trouble just to kill a woman but for the love of a woman. About the letter, I know that it talked the truth for I am the one that wrote it myself,&rdquo

He drafted a note and left it for his sister Dorothy. This note was saying nothing about his love for Catherine. He was just letting Dorothy know that he had left and never knew when he was to come back. He left the Kingdom to her as the rightful ruler.It is with much disbelieve that I am writing this note to you my princess and to the people of Kamu. I wish to let you know that I have decided to follow that which matters to me most and to fulfill the will of the gods. I have lived for years without having a course for my life but the gods have proven to have a better destiny for me. One that is more satisfying. I am abdicating my kingship as of this day. I leave you as the Queen of Kamu Kingdom. This Kingdom needs a Queen and person like you. I pray that you rule them to the best of your ability. Make sure to change that which I did wrong. Let your rule spread love. Let the people feel love and share it without fear. The people also deserve a life like those of us in power.

He was curious to see this girl and to hear her story and what it was that she was looking for in Kamu. Meanwhile, he told the sister that they had done something good to wait for his decision for the peace deal was on. Remember, it was not that this deal was done but he said this because he found the wizard absent and had to wait for him before doing anything.In the days before, if someone was caught around the Kamu territories, they were to be sent to the gallows for execution without any trial. Since Martin wanted to show that they were in terms with Kang’ethe to his people, after this girl told him that she was only after an herb to save her mother, he ordered the girl to be sent to the dungeon for further investigation.The people of Kamu were totally against this and wanted her executed. The next day, Martin went to the dungeon to hear the girl’s side of the story properly. She narrated the whole story to him and told him that her mother was to die o

It had been such a long time since they met.“Ooh brother, praises be to the gods for keeping you alive for all these years. I thought you had died for you never came to see me ever since you disappeared. It is good to see you brother,” said Janet.“Good to see you too sister. I came as soon as I got the feeling that you might be in danger. I am so sorry for you sister but I shall do everything to see that you get well.” said Jasper.“Tell me brother, if you told me that you have been leaving in the forest for all these years, I could believe but as I can see, you are from Kamu. What did you do to these people to like you and even give you warriors for escort? That’s the last thing I would expect after what happened during your escap
