Amanda the maid whom Akiza slept with and became sick had hid in one of the rooms where the maids were allowed to stay and while she sat there she kept shivering for she could not understand what happened; why Akiza was dying, and she hid there for two days without food or water. When she finally stepped out she didn't need anyone to tell her that the Queen had taken her son away on her dragon and nobody knew where she was taking him to but none questioned her, not even the physicians who were attending to her son. When Akiza's mother reached the gods cave in Dodo she dismounted her dragon and helped her son down from him. She then looked directly towards the cave and paused for a second. She felt strange and somehow she suspected all was not well. She then turned to the dragon letting him know to be alert and the dragon growled. Samata then was about entering the cave when suddenly Aromo stepped out holding onto the mother of magic and forcing her to move with a sword pointing at her
It was late at night when Amanda was heading to the well in the palace to fetch some water with a bucket. Suddenly someone came to her front and stood there. She was startled at first until she recognized the face of the one standing there. She didn't want a situation whereby she would scream and awake others in the palace. She needed that water so as to bath and she needed the young man to step away from her front. That was Ohu, one of the palace male servants who had refused to let her be. He had been pestering her to accept to be his woman but time and again she had made it clear to him that they would never have anything in common. That night what Ohu wanted was to let her know he was aware of what she did with Akiza before he went into coma and his mother had to take him away on the dragon. When he mentioned this she was startled and she looked at him gloomily and wondered how he saw it. She dropped the bucket in her hand and asked, "What do you mean by that?" "What it means is t
In the land of Abumu Ralf who had begun to sense this plan amongst the bandits to overthrow him and his Mistress had begun to make plans on how to address them so they wouldn't go about whispering behind his back further and because of this he called for a meeting of his second in command; the one who asked of him when the ones with Ralf in the bar where Ralf met Aromo for the first time returned to their base without Ralf. The second in command looked wicked and he rarely smiled. He was known to be prone to punishing the bandits that failed to live up to what was expected of them. He was ruthless, more ruthless than Ralf and his name was Lomi. He was not a man of many words and it was said that if a man is know for few words that man will be known for many deeds. That night while Ralf sat in one of the rooms of the palace of Abumu he was sure that nothing was going to make him give up the position that Aromo had given him without a fight. First he decided to have a meeting with Lomi
The mother of magic could not speak to Samata because she had lost her son Akiza to the cold hands of death and she was no longer interested to respond to anyone. She was not ready to have any word with anyone any longer and Aromo disgusted her more than she could tell. She walked out of the cave while Aromo followed her from the back and so was the mother of magic. When they were outside Samata headed straight to her dragon, she mounted it and then rode off. Immediately she left Aromo turned to face the mother of magic and the woman looked at her suspiciously now waiting to hear what she had to say."I have to go back to Abumu" she just said and made straight to where her men were standing and waiting for her. "You have to be careful Aromo. Things are no longer as they seem. You just have to be careful" mother of magic cautioned her but Aromo who no longer wanted to keep on making a demand to have access to her own dragon was broken in the spirit. She mounted her horse and so did h
Prologue "Please do not leave me, not now, please, I don't want to be a widow" Lume cried her eyes out while holding onto the cheeks of her husband in her palms but the King of Akozo was dying and he wanted his Queen to run, yes, to run for her life for the Witch and her dragon were approaching and it wouldn't be long until she caught up with her and the rest. The Witch's quest was to destroy and her dragon was helping her achieve that while raining fire in the land of Akozo. "I want you to tell the story of this day to our child whom you carry in your womb. Don't give him your tears, give him your story, that story is what he will need to motivate him to do what needs to be done. You can't tell him of what happened here today if you will not be alive to do so, so go and follow the officials, go now. I'm already a dead man" "Why would she do this to us?!" cried Lume. The newly married Queen, Lume sobbingly removed her lips from his mouth the moment King Zakiza breathed his last wi
Akiza's mother stood on the large entrance of a large cave beside the building of her home and asked the armed men that were positioned to man the entrance to step aside and they did. They were scared and their fear shown in their faces. They knew what she was about to do. The Witch summoned the dragon from inside the spooky and dank cave where he was kept by the Witch and the large stone used to cover the entrance rolled off by itself. The dragon, huge, soon tore itself out from the cave, flapped his wings and growled loudly. He was ten feet and two inches long and weighed a massive three hundred and sixty five pounds. He kept growling infront of the witch and the Witch looked up at him proudly. This was it; she was going to use this dangerous creature birthed through the use of ancient dark magic to lay waste the great kingdom of Akozo, where she was once married to a king. **** The king of Dodo, King Magu was not happy after his daughter returned with tears in her eyes. He was no
Akiza's mother and Akiza with some of their house servants entered the grand palace of the King of Dodo. They waited for his presence. Shortly after the king appeared and both mother and son bowed their heads in greetings but their was a strain of anger in the face of the king as he took his seat, looked around and pointed straight at Akiza, "You ungrateful son of your mother, did you not think it right to honor me?, you dishonor me by disregarding my daughter. Now you speak to her as you like, as if she is a commoner. I should have you pay for this!" Akiza's mother wasn't pleased with the manner the King had spoken to her son. "With all due respect King of Dodo, if these two; your daughter and my son are going to have to marry each other we should learn to leave them to settle their issues by themselves. You have made this a routine; to call upon my son and disgrace him infront of your officials because of your daughter who has refused to grow up" The Witch wasn't sorry this time an
The sweat on him, from his face dropped on her cleavage as he went on, his feet shaking and a sensation running through his brain. He jerked and she moaned, held him tighter with her feet and her hands, eyes closed. He was relieved and sank on the bed beside her, both panting like lizards that fell from a high tree. "You have always been a sweet lady" King Zakiza told his newly found love Lume. "I don't know, but I feel your people will not like me" Lume worriedly said but the king wouldn't have her spoil the moment as he chuckled, grabbing her by the waist. "And why is that?" he asked. "I'm from Okute, a neighboring land in dispute with your land. How can two enemies come together to agree? My father will hate me and the King of Okute will kill me" She appeared disturbed and wanted to climb off the bed but the king held her back and laughed, "I know how worried you are but I like it if people see the bright side of everything; I mean this might be a way the gods want us to bring
