A small cabin in the middle of the woods. Where a well known prophetess lived, who also happened to be his sister. Gideon did not even knock on the door as his sister was standing there. "Rita,please help me."he said. The prophetess made a way to let his brother through. Rita was often mistaken for a witch as she loved to wear long black dresses, black eye shadow, black lipstick, black bangles as well as black long hair. "Put him on the flat ground." Rita commanded. Gideon did as he was told. Rita opened one of her kitchen drawers, then grabbed a bottle of medicine and returned back to where Alex was. "This medicine will help ease your pain." Said Rita, pouring the medicine inside Alex's mouth. In response, he moaned in pain. "You are hurting him!" Gideon shouted. "No, I am healing him." "But why is he screaming in pain?""The medicine does that. But after a few minutes,he won't feel anymore pain." Said Rita. Indeed after only two minutes Alex stopped moaning, he eased dow
When morning arrived, David and his colleagues went on to search for Alex. They looked for him in many of the lodges in Noracia but still could not find him. David returned back to his home disappointed. "Where could he be?" Emily wondered. She then wrote a letter to Carmen informing her that she did not know where Alex was and that he never arrived at their home. Gideon was in the food market when he heard rumours about the search for Alex by David. He immediately went to his sister's house and reported the matter to Alex. "Carmen must have told them I came here, she's worried about me." Said Alex, even though he was sad, he had a tint of joy in his heart. "Yes indeed she is. She is not as friendly as she used to be. She's more angry than happy. And in some days, she is friendly and happy." "Oh no. And how is the King taking this?" "He doesn't complain it much. However I once heard him speak to the Queen about it. They seemed happy the following day." "She probably lied to hi
A knock came again. Alex got off the Queen immediately and began to put his clothes back on. "Here,hurry!" He said.Throwing Carmen her clothes to wear. She rolled her eyes, irritated. And began to dress. "Who is it?" She asked. "Emily." A voice said."How did she know I was here?" Carmen wondered. Carmen opened the door. Alex sat on the bed with a pillow covering his erected dick which seemed to take longer than usual to rest. "Come in." Said Carmen. Emily entered. "Oh Alex you truly are alive. We've been so worried." She said rushing to give Alex a hug. "I have missed you too Aunt." Said Alex, keeping his stands on the pillow still. He was not about to reveal his shame. "How did you know I was staying here?" Alex asked "David and I had been searching for you. One of his friends arrived at our home and told us they saw you come here. The cook also indicated that you were in this room " "No one should ever know that I am alive. As someone did want me dead." "But who?" "I
"The Queen is going to be horrified." Said the King. "Yes. But you know. Life has its ups and downs." "Tell me.. did you by any chance have a hand in the attack on Alex?" The King asked. "Brother.. you know me." "No Nicholas,I feel like I don't know you at all." "My Lord I did not kill Alex." Said Nicholas. "Did you then, send those men to do it down you?" "How could I my Lord. You told me you change your mind, that you don't want Alex killed anymore." Carmen showed up suddenly. "You wanted Alex killed?" She asked. "My Queen." Said the King, standing up from his chair, startled. "Excuse me my Lord." Said Nicholas,standing up to leave. "Sit down! You are not escaping this one." The Queen commanded"That was before. But I changed my mind. Please believe me. I had nothing to do with Alex's death." Said the King. Carmen who already knew that Alex was alive had to pretend to be angry. But that came easy as she had just found out that the King had plotted against him before. "H
The following morning. Carmen took an early bath then rode to Kineti. She found her father preparing breakfast. She exchanged greetings and hugs with him. "Have you come this early to see how Alex was doing it to see your father?" The King asked,with an amused look on his face. "I came to see you both.""Alex is asleep for now." "Then I will speak with you. Yesterday I overheard a conversation between King Stephen and Nicholas. Father they do believe Alex is dead. And that was thanks to Gideon. However I heard something else. King Stephen plotted against Alex before but changed his mind. But his brother I think continue with the attack. He even lied to my husband and told him I asked him to take Alex with a ship to Noracia. But the King knows the truth now." Carmen explained. "King Stephen will have to make the most difficult decision he has ever made in his life. Exercute his own brother." "The law is the law. Every killer must get exercuted. But I doubt he will do that. He lov
Meanwhile in Aota, Nicholas walked like a man who had lost everything, he lifted his feet heavily and went to the palace kitchen, where he knew he would find Lilly. "I've been waiting for your arrival, tea?" Said the cook. Nicholas nodded. Lilly took two cups and filled them with cold water as well as teabags and sugar. Then she placed on the working table close enough to allow Nicholas to see. "Take a sit." She said. "There is no sit." Lilly lifted her right hand and pulled a chair from the dining room without having physical contact with it. Yellow light came out from her hands as she did so. The chair finally entered the kitchen. Nicholas sat. "How do you do that? I really want to learn that." He said. "Do you choose to be content,or do you choose to be ambitious?" "I choose to be ambitious. I can make a better King than my brother!" Lilly smiled. "Then hold my hand." She commanded. Nicholas did so. A swirl of dust formed on the ground, Lilly uttered some word's, the
Back in Kineti, King Stephen and Queen Carmen had arrived from their short trip in Noracia. The King received many letters of complaints from the farmworkers that their livestock continues to go missing, some however reported that they had seen a disgusting creature eating their livestock but they could not be able to describe it as they were all frightened to get closer to the creature. The following morning, Nicholas went to the palace King Stephen showed him the letters he had received the previous day. "Has anyone tried to capture the creature?" Nicholas asked. "No they are too afraid to even try." "Does it have long fangs and yellow eyes?" "As I said before they did not see the creature well. As they feared to move closer to it. " "The decrease in livestock will destroy our economy. Many farmers will be jobless. We cannot let this continue." Said Nicholas. "You are correct. I want all of the warriors in this palace to search for the creature and bring it to me. The people
"Place this man in the dungeon. He shall face execution tomorrow night! " The Queen commanded. The warrior's did as they were told. Nicholas would not escape judgement now, Carmen thought. "Grab the body and prepare a burial for this man " the King commanded. "What about his family my Lord?" Carmen asked. The King commanded the remaining warrior's to inform Gideon's family of his passing and how he died. But those that knew him, did not find his family in all of Aota. "Then a burial will be done for him here at the palace." Said the King. Carmen knew the one person who was close to Gideon, who knew exactly where he had hidden his family. It was Alex. "Do not bury the man yet, I will bring his family tomorrow." Said Carmen. "But how? You did not even know Gideon that well, let alone his family!" Said the King. "But I know someone who does." "Who?" "I cannot tell you that. Unless I want that person to die too." King Stephen allowed his wife to search for Gideon's family. Ca
