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
Kang’ethe also could not help to ask Martin what had led him to do the attacks at this Land. Martin told him that just as any King would want, he wanted more power. After all, he heard his father wish to rule both Kingdoms and now that he was dead, it was his turn to fulfill his father’s dream.Kang’ethe could not help but ask Martin of how he thought he could fulfill his father’s dream by causing hatred between the people of Lampa and Kamu. That was what the wars were doing. He continued to add to Martin that having people go to battle was not the only way that he was to rule this land.As he had already witnessed, the gods had rejected his method of acquiring power by use of force. He told him that it was time for him to be at ease and let the gods do what is theirs to decide who is to rule Lampa after he was out of the throne. He also warned Martin that, if he ruled by getting people to fight now and then, eventually, he would have no one lef
“What is this mother that you need to tell me that I do not know and that’s going to change my mind to save the mother who has taken care of me for all these years? At least I owe you this one time mum. Let me take care of you too.” replied the daughter.“It’s okay my daughter. I see and understand what you are saying for I too could do the same thing for my mother but the thing is; I am not your mother.” said the mother.“What are you talking about mother? Then who is and, where have they been for all these years?” asked the daughter.“Listen to me child, it is such a long story that I have kept from you for all these years for the fear of you leaving me for them. For that, I am sorry child but I needed to do that. I love you as my own blood daughter and nothing will ever change that,” said the mother.“Nothing you will say about these parents of mine that will make me change my mind about
