Joseph, though a Captain of the Kamu Community was not a beast as thought to be. He was a man that hoped for better things, loved peace and hated human torture. Back at the Kamu Kingdom, the Princess was doing everything to ensure that what she had heard from Jessica was told to her by the King himself. Though the King was her brother, Dorothy knew that if she told him of her source, not even she could hold his rage towards Jessica and the maidens. An idea came to Dorothy that, the only way to win was to play the King’s game. She had to join in his game but she still had a problem of how to do it. Thought after thought, she finally had the way in. Since she was away, she used this to do the magic. As a woman, she knew a man’s best moments is also his weakest as well. She started by praising his reign over those that she had come across during her tour. She also added that, her wish was to see him rule even a greater Kingdom. “You know brother, I have toured a couple of Kingdoms but
With everything in play and in line with their plans, it was now the time for them to execute and do it to the best of their ability. Dorothy, being the heart of the King’s mission, she knew that she was a step ahead. Indeed, Jessica’s guess was not a guess after all! She never seemed disturbed by the news told to her by Jessica because, she heard someone tell her earlier. One morning after the King had left for his expeditions, Dorothy demanded for the Captain’s presence in her private chambers. Upon the Captain’s arrival into the palace, there happened what could never have been thought of even to the off springs to come. With the King’s absence, there was no much movement in the palace. They had the perfect time to be together without much suspicion and eyes on them. Their greeting alone was a sign of not only two people that longed to be together but, also for those in deep love! Dorothy, being an offspring of the royal blood was not to have an affair or be in any relationship wi
Upon her arrival into the chambers, Dorothy was shocked by Jessica’s visit. Dorothy asked her of where she was and why she had visited even without notice. Although it was weird for Dorothy to question her visit, Jessica claimed to be checking on her. It was her duty as the chief maiden to check and make sure the Princess was okay. Due to the little span of time between the Captain’s departure and Jessica’s arrival, the Princess was sure of one thing. Jessica and Joseph must have met somewhere along the way. This was no good news to her bearing in mind the many secrets that needed to keep secret. Though Jessica was so close to her, she was not at a position to know about her relationship with the Captain or the mission. Without any further waste of time, Dorothy came up with a way to lower the heat in the room. ”I believe you have come across the Captain on his way out as you were coming?” asked Dorothy. “Yes my princess. I have met him just after the stairway. He has told me that,
Lampa Kingdom was still under tension and preparation in wait of this fateful event. King Kang’ethe and his wife Jacinta were the most troubled. They could not stop to blame themselves for having no heir to the throne, if not the gods. They were certain that it was the main reason why King Martin threatened to attack. If wishes were horses, they could have an heir to the throne for; they could have given an ear to the council members to adopt. King Kang’ethe, back in the days got married to Jacinta while still in power. After their marriage, he realized the pleasure of being in love. He loved Jacinta so much that he never dreamt of a life without her. It was during this time that he decided every man had the right to love and the people were at liberty to fall in love. A year later, they were blessed with a beautiful daughter and heir to the throne. Lampa being the only Kingdom where the people had the right to love, this brought a lot of tension in the other Kingdoms. After a while
In between the last day of battle and this day that he was summoned by the King, he took his time to consult the Princess of the way forward. He was cautious enough to avoid being spotted or raise suspicion. The reasons he gave the King were those they had discussed with his lover. This shifted the blame from his side to the battalion as a whole. Finally, they concluded that, something better needed to be done for next time. “Captain, tell me, what happened out there at the battle field such that I had to withdraw the warriors. Is this Captainship becoming a burden to you, or, what is it that made you lose to Lampa for God’s sake. Enlighten me Captain,” asked the King. “My lord, it’s not that the Captainship is a burden to me but, the Lampa warriors were quite prepared for us and some new warriors were not well prepared. We did not have enough time to have them be the best my King,” said the Captain. “So Captain, you are telling me that the warriors were not well prepared. Since whe
Without waste of anymore second, she came up with her own theory to get Joseph off the hook. In this theory, she made sure to implicate Mwithali to get him off their backs completely. This meant that Mwithali had to die no matter the cost. He was becoming a stump on their way to success. Although she had this figured out, she could not tell it directly to the King. It could either get her and Joseph exposed, else it could sound staged or vague. She had to do it in such a way not to raise an alarm. She also needed to make sure that Joseph knew of her plan. Their talk and accusations towards Mwithali needed to match; else, it could mean disaster. This approach to the King needed to use facts such that, he was supposed to convince himself of Joseph’s innocence. This therefore meant that, Dorothy had to use a trusted warrior to deliver an encrypted message to the Captain. He was to inform the Captain of her plan. After she did this, she was now free to open up to the King and tell of thi
“What is your name warrior?” the Princess asked.“My name is Judas your highness,” he replied.“Do you know the reason you are hear?” asked Dorothy?No my Princess. I do not know why I was summoned,” Judas said.“Are you familiar with what happens to those warriors who mess around with the King’s maidens?”“Yes I am very much aware my Princess but, what does that have to do with me?”“Well, I was hoping you could tell me about it.”“Sorry to question you my Princess but, why should I tell you about it?”“Well, as funny as that is, it has come to my attention that, you have been messing around with a King’s maiden.”“Forgive me my Princess but that is not true. I know not about this maiden you talk about.”“Assuming that were
After all was over and they were dismissed, Dorothy sent for Jessica in her chambers. Upon arrival, she thanked her so much for what she had done and praised her for being a good soldier and guardian of the throne.Jessica on the other hand did not buy that. She was now certain that, the Princess and the Captain were lovers and that is why Dorothy had to thank her. She was now after hearing it directly from Dorothy’s mouth.“Thank you for your acknowledgements and compliment my princess. I am honored to be at your service,” responded Jessica.“It’s okay Jessica. I have realized that you are not only best at serving me but also serving the people of Kamu and the crown as well,” added Dorothy.“For that, I am grateful my princess but, there is this question I have wanted to ask you for quite some time now.” Jessica continued.“What question Jessica? You are free to as
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
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
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
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
“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
On the material day, the wizard and the warriors arrived at the sister’s place to find her in bed very ill. Upon laying eyes on him, the sister was very happy to see that he was still alive. 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
