Indeed, I pretended to be an idiot at then. How could he say that Derek and Bradley were alive when I saw them die? I wondered if I was the individual not making sense at that moment."Listen, Louis, I know you have your doubt but, it's true. Both of them are healthy and alive. Yes, they fell dead right in front of you but, there is something you are missing, you seem to have forgotten that Magaritha was there with them. The Almighty Magaritha knew that the two of them were important to her cause and therefore, used a forbidden magic practice to bring them back to life. I know that what I just told you now, sounded like a fairy tale but, bear it in my that I speak nothing but the truth.""I believe you, I know what Magaritha is capable of. I know she will not stop at nothing if she is determined to accomplish her goals, maybe that was what happened back there.""The earlier we stop underestimating her powers the better for us all," said Steve, as he appeared to continue from where I
We had dinner outside the tents and afterwards, I was shown to my tent where I slept and woke up the next morning.At twilight, I heard someone calling my name, his voice was familiar. Because I was just awakening, it took my senses a few seconds to come to an agreement about who he was. It was Steve. "Good morning Loius, and how was your night?" He asked."Fine thanks! How about you? I hope you had fanatic sleep?" "Mmmhmm!" He nodded yes to my inquiry. "I was just checking on you to see how you are faring!""Thanks, little brother, that's so kind of you," I smiled. "We can for a Walk after freshening up, what do you think about that?" "I think that will be nice!" I said. I had hardly finished speaking when Gama arrived."Good morning, everyone!" He greeted us and we replied."Good morning Mr Gama," I replied and so was Steve.Gama wanted to turn around and live but he halted his movement. "I just overheard the both of you talking about going for a walk, do you mind if I join you?
Gina was gripped with fear even though, I had no idea what could have triggered her fears. At the same time, she covered her face with her two hands, as if she doesn't want me to get a glimpse of her current facial expression. She began moving backwards as I tried to come closer to her. I was getting tired of her attitude. She has refused to speak to me and neither has she moved away her hands away from her face."What's the problem, Gina?" I was forced to ask. "Why do you suddenly start behaving weird upon hearing where I come from?" Despite all my questions, she refused to bring down her hands. Thank goodness, we are out of sight of anyone, we were alone at a corner where no one could see us. "If I speak, will you seek revenge?" She managed to speak at last with a shaky voice and with her face still covered by her palms."What exactly is the problem? Why are you doing this? Go ahead and talk to me," I tried to speak sense into her head but she insisted on her demand."Are you going
There was an unusual silence between us for some minutes. I could get her point, all I had to do was to remain patient and allow Gina to explain the role she played in the death of my mother. "I use to work for your back then in Dotham. I'm not a witch but, I was opportune to work as a cook in your mother's castle. About the same time, Magaritha was making plans to eliminate your mother. Somehow, the plan was leaked to me by mistake. I had overheard her talking about it and the strategy involved. I should have reported to your mother right the way but something happened!" Another round of tears flowed down from her eyes. I was almost getting impatient. I couldn't wait to hear everything she had to say therefore, I pressed her again. "And then what happened?"She looked away briefly and struggled to look at me. I never took my eyes off her thus forcing her to look away again. Nevertheless, she continued. "I was going to tell your mother about the secret but, the same night I planned
"I think that makes sense to me," entered Gama who had remained silent ever since we began talking. "So tell us, how are we going to get up there and rescue them?""This is something we need to deliberate on," I told them. Because I was walking in the middle of the two men, I turned easily to face Steve. "Yes, go on, Steve we would like to see if you have come up with something feasible.""Sure, I will but, I must let the both of you understand something about this, you can as well contribute your suggestions to the plan I would come up with." He paused for some time and then began again. "We will need to send up a few selected men. Men that are well trained and must be able to stick to the plan. They must be able to withstand all kinds of odds they might encounter up there! I hope we have those kinds of men in our fighting rank?" he asked Gama after turning around slightly to face him.Gama stopped walking to respond to the question that Steve had asked him. His sudden halt also affe
"What the hell are you talking about?" Shouted Gama. "I mean, how is that even feasible? Where in the godamn world are you going to get more men to fight the Revolutionists?""Oh, my friend! Relax and don't let that be your problem. Of course, I have a plan. Do you think I'm stupid, huh? Do you think I make that kind of statement if I don't have any plans? Come on, I do!" Steve defended himself and glanced at me as well. "Hey, miss angel, you are not saying anything about this? Do you also have a problem with my suggestion?" He asked me."To be sincere with you on this one, little brother, my answer to your question is yes! I mean, how are you going to do that?" "We can!" Steve never let me finish when he began talking. "I can say that again, we can! And we will!" He turned to face again after looking away temporary. "Look at yourself, sister, you have what it takes to defeat them. Stop being afraid we can overcome them even with a small number of men. I believe that they are no matc
After talking for a long time with the leader of the village, he sent us some of his men. From there, we moved on through the countryside to spread the word and see who will buy into our cause. Steve led us from one part to the other until we were able to get a reasonable number of men who were willing to fight for us. For us, it was a success at last. What we never thought will happen just came to pass. With our newly recruited soldiers, we went back to Gama's camp where the men were further trained and well briefed about the task at hand. In about a week, we were all ready. By then, we had put things in order and the battle strategy was well rehearsed by the men we recruited. Although we did our very best to recruit men as many as possible, however, the sad thing remained that we were still outnumbered by Magaritha's army. We have no idea of what they were capable of therefore, our operation was more like a gamble. Nevertheless, we were determined to win against the evil forces of
The watchmen on the towers raised the alarm upon sighting our movement towards the gate. They began ringing the huge bell. Their troops began reinforcing. They adjusted the lock on the gate as we try to push through. One of their commanders gave them the order to shoot at us. At once, they began raining arrows on use. They were meant to break our strong resolve but we never succumb to their pressure.The arrows rained down on us in many directions without mercy. Some of them managed to hit our men and put them out of the race to the gate. Some fell dead while others continued to run towards the gate. I was among those running towards the gate. Finally, we made it! We were at the entrance to the city. Our men began fighting back. We were able to take out some of the archers on the high wall. I watched their lifeless body fall from the top as they were been taken out by our men. Thus, we were able to push them back into the city. We busted through the gate and then our first hand-to-h
