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 with tears in his eyes while lying amongst piles of rocks with fire raining from the shattered roof of the palace building.

"My Queen, the king is dead, we must escape now" 

Queen Lume was not sure who spoke amongst the palace officials standing behind her but she knew that whoever spoke was right. The king's younger step brother had succeeded in usurping the throne of his step elder brother with the help of her Witch mother and her dragon. It was time for Queen Lume to escape if she hoped to return for a revenge. 

THE BEGINNING

TWO YEARS BEFORE THE WAR IN AKOZO KINGDOM:

"Your father never loved me the way he loved that woman and that was why he gave her son the throne before his death. I was the first he married but I had no child for him until his second wife produced him a son, Zakiza. You see, I was the first wife which makes you automatically heir to his throne. I knew your father was never going to make the right decision but I was not learned enough to stop him; I had no dragon and I wasn't a Witch. You see my son, you have grown and that is why I'm telling you this; it's time to take back what is yours, what was taken from you, your birthright. I will help you"

Akiza rose from his seat, a very handsome young man. He was tall and had dark eyes. He walked towards the windows of the room and stood by it, looking down the mighty gates. He sipped his drink and turned to look at his mother who obviously was waiting for an answer.

"Mother, I can understand how it went with you when you realized that your husband's love for you died the moment you couldn't give him a child and he had to marry a second wife; the mother to a step brother i have never met. I know how pained you are but mother look around you; we are rich in this foreign land, we have everything we need here in Dodo Kingdom; we have the maids to serve us, the slaves to work for us, the soldiers assigned to us by the king of this land. We are powerful already. What else are we looking for?"

"Recognition you fool; your birthright was stolen from you and your step brother who should be serving you is seated on your throne! Don't you get it! I am not after wealth or power child, I am after what is mine and what is mine was taken from me by those who thought me weak enough and unable to fight back. You say we are powerful? more reason we have to use that power to reclaim what was lost to us. You say you have all that you need? Where is your identity or do you not know that you are a foreigner in this land. Your surname will never make a meaning if you are not ready to accept who you are" The mother walked out on him and Akiza sat dejectedly. He might feel he was not really comfortable with his mother's desperation but if truth be told he could not deny the fact that he desired to make her happy.

He was still seated there when his fiancee walked in and climbed the bed, kneeling and holding him on the shoulders from the back, massaging him, knowing fully well why he was troubled..

"Your mother was right" She just said. Akiza turned his head to look at her face and she smiled at him. She was a very beautiful lady and was the daughter of the king of the land; the kingdom of Dodo where Akiza and her mother resided. She had a high libido for sex, a trait she inherited from her father and she was happy that Akiza never denied her himself each time she came looking for him. Her eyes were so seductive and these were what Akiza fell for the first time he met with her. 

"You eavesdropped on our conversation? I warned you not to do that again..." he was angry. "I'm sorry I was coming..." she tried to explain, "Get out!" shouted Akiza and the lady jumped off the bed, ran off crying. Akiza stood up and walked towards the windows once again. He was filled with deep thoughts.

That same night he walked up to his mother inside her chamber as she was about to have her rest and she stood up from bed to sit with him. He avoided her eyes, the eyes of a woman who had suffered for years to see that he had a good life and he was not ready to disappoint her. He held her hands and for the first time since he entered the room spoke while looking into her eyes.

"My reply to you in my room wasn't reasonable and here I have come to tell you that you were right. I have decided to live up to your expectations of me. I'm ready to take back what is mine"

    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

    Inside the Chambers of Aromo, friend to the mother of Akiza, in the land of Dodo, Akiza could still not grasp the reason behind his dizziness; what he had done with Aromo wasn't his first time but immediately he got down from her bed he staggered and nearly fell. The woman had stood up from the bed half naked and walked up to him where he was holding the wall of her room and in his mind full of thoughts. It was in the middle of the same night Akiza's mother left on a horse. "Come back to bed, let me ease your mind" she spoke softly, holding him by the hand but Akiza withdrew his hand, "What have you done to me?" he asked hoarsely but it seemed the woman wasn't ready to open up to him. He went for her neck and grabbed it with his strong arm. The woman tried to struggle but he pinned her against the wall and brought his face closer to hers, "Even in my weakness I can still knock you off. You tell me right away, what have you done to me?!" He squeezed her neck and the woman couldn't utt

    In the Chambers of Aromo, friend of Akiza's mother she rose on her feet where she had knelt, coughing and recovering from the grip on her neck from Akiza. When she had stood upright her eyes turned red with fury. Akiza had never seen her in that state ever since he knew her to be one of his mother's Witch friends and it terrified him. He took few steps backward, made to move out of the room but the door banged shut by itself and he knew at once that he was in danger. "You shouldn't have done that". Aromo began, "It should have remained a privilege for you to taste what is in-between the legs of a Witch but you have spoiled our moment. You have tasted the sweetness of my body, now taste the strength of my powers" Few moments later Akiza was seated inside a cage in one of the rooms of the house of Aromo. ****** In the palace of the King of Dodo he was seated on his throne, knowing fully well that his army had surrendered to the creature of magic; the dragon and Akiza's mother.

    Inside the room where Akiza was locked inside an old cage Aromo walked in with one of her security men and asked him to leave them alone. the security man left the room and Aromo walked round the iron cage until she finally stood infront of it. Akiza raised up his weary head and his gloomy face and spoke; "Your mind tells you that my mother is going to abandon me? You make a terrible mistake but you wouldn't know now would you? No you wouldn't, not until your sins are presented before you to see and the consequences of your actions..." "Keep your mouth shut" Aromo began "I have nothing against your mother but I'm a religious person and..." Akiza chuckled and the woman paused before she continued, "Very well, since you want to hear it; I'm a Witch like your mother but she hasn't been a generous friend. You know what I'm talking about; she alone gets the good stuffs, she alone secured the favours of the King of Dodo. I am a born daughter of Dodo land but my people don't respect me, the

    "Kiss me" She begged. Lume could feel the wind from his nostrils blowing on her temple but King Zakiza wanted her to long for it the more, so he went on, using his tongue to tickle her left ear. She could feel the aroma of his presence, his strong arms and his hairy chest. She wanted him closer and he wanted her to show it. That night was accompanied with a calm breeze and a cold outside. The night moon was glowing and the birds outside, perching on the window frames of the room of the King looked and chipping like they were being entertained by the two lovebirds inside. "I want you" Lume held him tighter."I have a meeting to attend to tonight; council meetings" he said, holding his breath. "Meeting must wait" she insisted. Just then there was a knock at the door and the person was the Chief Gaurd. "Your presence is needed at the throne room my lord" spoke the man. The moment was ruined and Lume fell back on the bed and chuckled disappointedly. The King smiled and put back his rob

    Princess Damina of Dodo Kingdom was now in another land called Abumu where she ran off to during the invasion of the Witch, the mother to a man she had always loved. She hissed as she remained seated near the window of the bar she was inside with a bartender standing before her. She could not possibly call what happened two years back in her father's palace a war, no, that was not a war but a disgrace. She had never seen a dragon until that day and having heard that her father was dead she had imagined many ways Samata must have used the dragon to kill her father, the King of Dodo. The bartender was now impatient and he wanted to leave then she regained herself and asked for a cup of drink. She was offered one and it tasted strange. She sighed again, not sure if where she had been all these while was where she was meant to be. She had been hiding her identity the very day she set her feet in the land of Abumu because she knew that many who hated her father in the land of Abumu would

    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.

    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

    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

    The Prophetess was back to give the Chief of the Diadoma tribe the feedback and she was smiling as she sat with him once again, ofcourse she tried her best to keep her smile so real to avoid the fat man noticing she didn't like him. The Chief was eager to hear what Lume had to say to his proposal. "You see my lord, sorry my Chief, you already know just like I told you earlier that the lady you are asking to come to bed with you is a daughter of a Prophetess but then I made a promise to talk her to it and somehow she accepted but...but there is a condition attached to it" "whatever the condition may be" the fat man sounded excited and this irritated the Prophetess the more and she wondered what exactly was wrong with the old man. She however didn't want to spoil the whole thing as she went further to tell him that already Lume had accepted to be with him for that night but on the condition that the Chief wasn't going to see her face as he made love to her.

    When Aromo regained herself fully she walked to the seat kept for her in the middle of the compound of the palace of Abumu and then sat down in it. After he had sat down she looked towards Princess Damina who was made to kneel before her with her hands bound behind her back. "You should have done the right thing, you should have remained with me and followed my moves but you were overcome by your cling to the past and now the past is about to ruin your life. Did you actually want me dead, What were you thinking? if you had succeeded in killing me surely Ralf wouldn't have let you walk away" "I knew all of that when I decided to have you killed. I already decided my faith by now. You survived that sword because you have magic running in veins. Yes, I failed and I know what your judgement will be; death. Go on and sentence me but Incase you ever get the opportunity to meet with Akiza again, let him know that I love him still and will always love him" "Oh how romantic. Ofcourse I'm

    The entry of Samata into the land of Dodo was a scary one for the people as they began to run Helter skelter. The dragon obeyed the command given him by Samata and began to rain down fire on the roofs of the homes of the people of Dodo. The people ran out of their burning houses and while they ran through the streets the fire from the breath of the dragon swept them off their feet and they began to burn, to scream and to die. The Priest remained in his house and waited in prayer. He knew there was nothing he could do. When he heard the heavy sounds outside his house was when he stepped out. He stepped out to meet Samata standing in his compound with her dragon growling loudly in the air. When he stepped outside he knelt before her and Samata walked up to him in her Queenly regalia. "My own people turned against me!!!" she was visibly angry and her eyes were red with fury. "I didn't know of this my Queen. When I got the opportunity to talk sense into your subjects it was already too

    In the land of Akozo, Akiza walked to the dragon while it curled up outside the palace building. When he came to him he saw he was feeding on a human. He knew of his mother's arrest of all the men and women that surrendered during the battle in the palace and her plan to be feeding them to her creature. As he stood there a soldier walked up to him to inform him of his mother's demand for his presence. He walked to the throne room and met her pacing angrily. She stopped and began, "A troubling news I have received and it angers me as well; the people of Dodo are no longer with me and they have killed the officials in the palace of Dodo and equally attempted to kill the Prophetess. They have turned against me but they have made the worst mistake of their lives. How could they? have they not been told of what I did with my dragon in the palace of Dodo, do they think I can not do the same to them?

    Begging was enough, besides Aromo was not ready to hurt Princess Damina and when she stood facing her where she knelt she asked her to be on her feet which she did and she walked closer to her and asked, "You know that your father wasn't good to me right?" Damina nodded with tears in her eyes. "I heard you loved sex, you stopped?" asked Aromo but the Princess didn't answer, wondering how Aromo got to know about her sexual life. Could it be that Akiza was sharing what they had together with others behind her back? "Well" continued Aromo, "I would have you here with me but already you know that the plan is not to remain here but to take what belongs to these people from the man who took it from them. Here is Abumu and these people belong here" She moved outside and the Princess followed suit. They both stood at the entrance of the tent. "It will soon get dark. I know you must be famished and so you need to eat" Aromo beckoned on one of the men and asked that Damina be served. As Damina
