“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
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. This was a sign that his dream for peace between the two Kingdoms was about to become true. There was to be no more fighting after this turn of events. Of all the possibilities that Kang’ethe had about this peace, Martin falling in love with Catherine was the least of all.Dorothy was also very pleased and ran to hug Joseph, forgetting that their love was a secret all along. She requested him to rule Kamu by her side as the King. This got majority of the people surprised. It got those that doubted the existence of the gods to revoke their doubts.“My love, praises be unto the gods for this beautiful d
The herbs that the warriors had been sent by the wizard to get could not save everyone. On the process, even some of the warriors were infected by the virus. As the days passed by, the situation was getting out of hand faster than they could cope.Martin and his love arrived at the Lampa Dynasty. Janet was so much shocked after the sight of Kate in the company of Martin. What came to her mind was that, Martin had caught Catherine in the forest and commanded her to take him back to her home. By this time of their arrival, Janet was feeling better. She had been given the herb by the warriors that had been sent by Jasper. The improvement was a sign of a full recovery.She was not pleased by the sight of her daughter with Martin. On arrival, what she thought was not the case. Martin had not forced the girl to show him her home but they had come to bring her the herb. She could not help but wonder how it was that Martin had fallen in love.Wonders shall never seize t
Kang’ethe and his group of people finally arrived at Lampa to find a very sorrowful situation. Some people had perished of this disease and many more were infected. Without much waste of time, they got down to work.Finally, Kang’ethe and his wife Jacinta laid eyes on their long lost daughter. It was a moment of joy as this family reunion was taking place. They had so much to share and talk about but they could not do so until a later time because the people needed a cure.As they gave cure to the people, Martin and Kang’ethe were talking about how all had come to happen.“Martin, allow me to ask; do you believe in the existence of the gods?” asked Kang’ethe.“If you asked me the question some weeks ago, I would have said they do not exist but I have a different feeling now,” replied Martin.“Why do you say this son? What made you believe in the gods after all the years of disbelieve?” ask
Somewhere, in one of the great and iconic countries of East Africa was a small town. It was in this small town that two among God’s wonderful creation met and fulfilled one of the greatest commandments. They fell in love. Not too long after, a miracle happened and a boy child was born. No amount of effort could fade the joy and smile on their faces upon holding him in their hands. It was a miraculous and glorious moment. As it turned out, they surely had a reason to praise God in thanksgiving for the special gift. Years later, he grew… no, wait a minute… well, I grew to fulfill my destiny, as it was the will of God. The name of my Country is Kenya, and, that of my town, the great Meru. It was after very many years of challenges and what some might refer to as ignorance and failures that I finally figured myself and the true purpose of my birth. God Almighty brought me to this earth as a messenger of his True word to his people. So you know… I went to school just like
What is freedom? What is the price for freedom and how much does it cost? Well, someone, or, even better, majority are thinking of slavery, discrimination, abhorrence, greed for power and survival for the fittest as incidences of the far past. We are free, a theme song for each day. It has become food to the hungry, clothing to the naked and shelter to the homeless.Blessed be our ancestors and predecessors for paying the price of freedom. This we say with great respect and pleasure for them heroes with special days set for the celebrations. Not to say that we should not celebrate neither do I denounce the heroes, no! I respect and celebrate our heroes’ sacrifice, that I do just like any other patriot.Our ancestors and predecessors did their best to bring us freedom. What they never did was to pay for the freedom in full. You see, freedom is a body that needs to be fed regularly to stay healthy. It is not that we do not feed this so-called freedom, veto. Actually,
The Kamu and Lampa were Credonia’s two illustrious Kingdoms that lived with much antipathy. The two were ruled by elderly Monarchs. Kang’ethe was the King of the Lampa Kingdom, and Guantai was the King of the Kamu Kingdom. They had ruled for ages without anyone to dispute them or their régime. This aversion, however, did not always exist. It ripened from a falling-out between the two Kings about leniency, love, and other privileges to their underdogs. Guantai, the Kamu King, never wanted the so-called slaves enjoying any of these privileges. He had the belief that, oppressing these populaces guaranteed a monarch’s smooth and unhampered domination. Disparate, Lampa’s King, Kang’ethe, happened to have an atypical impression on the same. He believed that people had the right to experience love, and deserved a fair headship. He wanted his people to have the privileges be they slaves, or no slaves. The incongruity eventually led to a war that left Kang’ethe without a daughter hence the
Weeks later, after much struggle remedying the King, with assistance from the entire potencies including wizards, witches and the old religion, it was in due course to no avail. To end, King Guantai succumbed to the illness. His death was a dawn to darkness to the Kamu people. King Guantai was not the best, more so, in comparison to King Kang’ethe, but his death was no good news in the ears of Kamu people either. Ages past and present, they prayed for the end of his reign. However, the outcome after his demise was not what they prayed for or thought of it to be. His death meant assumption of the throne by his son prolonged, and patently the sure guarantee of King Martin’s reign. That was so because, after a King’s death, the throne was to be entrusted to the son, the sore heir to the throne, and a core offspring of the royal bloodline. Although the people of Kamu prayed to the gods day and night to change this tradition, they did it as an act of faith. It was a time that, the people
Kamu’s fate having been sealed, Lampa’s was on the weighing scales. Signs of tension could be noted from the sudden change of events in Kamu. Unalike the fallen hero, King Guantai, Kang’ethe had different views and ways of leadership and authority over his people. He was a man of tradition hence ruled by the tradition but had respect to the human life and the people as fellow humans. Despite the separation of classes between the laypeople and those of the royal blood, he believed that, everyone deserved the privilege to happiness and the right to life. In this Kingdom, the populaces had to bear the name slaves but with additional privileges. That fact had the Kamu natives wishing they were in Lampa. In contrary to this fact of the historical difference between the two Kingdoms, King Kang’ethe still had a dream of having the two Kingdoms unite one day. After the death of King Guantai, his dream became just a journey to infinity. He realized that, no matter how much he wished for that
