2024-10-29 19:42:56Shamma peeped into the Queen's private chambers the next morning in search of Nathan.He had left them playing the previous day and never came back
"Maam?"a small voice had the Queen turning to trace it.At the sight of Shamma her face cringed and Nathan was quick to hide behind her
"What do you want?!"
"Greetings your royal highness." said Sham fully imerging and bowing before the queen. Aurora stared at her with distaste while Nathan peeped from behind his mother
"What do you want you wretched commoner?! You want to trap my son too dont you?"
"No no no i would never. I just want to play. Xavier asked me to bring Nathan to play outside.Natty come lets go play."she said voice so pure and innocent
"No!I dont want to play with you you are bad!" snapped Nathan. At the sound of thag Aurora couldn't be more prouder as she patted his back with reassurance. Shamma at that young age had gotten used to the Queen's cold gesture towards her.She has practically been cold to her for as far as she could remember
"Natty,why would you say that? i'm not bad i just want to play come lets go.We will play all your favourite games today."
"What is taking you too long i want to play aready." Xavier's bored tone erupted as he emerged. His gaze found Shamma before landing on the queen then Nathan peeping from behind his mother
"Goodmorning mother."
"Goodmorning Xavier love how are you today?"
"I am well thank you. But mother, why is Nathan hiding we want to play."
"I am not hiding!" Nathan snapped getting off the bed to face the two.Aurora watched with amusement eager to watch the works of her manipulations
"Xavier,i want to play.But i dont want to play with her.She is bad!" Shamma took a step back as silence paralysed the room for a moment
"Nathan,what are you saying? Shamma is our friend we always play together.Now come let us go and play come Natty." Xavier took him by his hand but Nathan pulled away
"I will not play with a witch!" snapped Nathan shocking Xavier. He turned to look at Shamma who dropped a tear then at his brother before him
"Xavier,she is a witch and you should stop playing with her.Play with me and leave her.She is a commoner anyway." With that the Queen had never been so proud.She now had another weapon in her closet.She had vowed to do anything to seperate the two even if it meant using her son because in the end it would indeed benefit Nathan
"Nathan,stop saying that you are making her cry." Xavier said moving over to Shamma and wiping off her tears
"I dont like that Natty,you cant make Shamma cry i dont like it she is not a witch she is my friend!"
"She is not your friend she is a witch look at her hand!"
"Stop it!I command you to not say that about my Shamma!" Silence trapped the room again with the Queen looking shocked at what Xavier had just done. Catherine stood by the door having heard the arguments from a distance and to her dismay she had to hear her son make his first command.Xavier was a prince like Nathan,but he was the crown prince,the next king but the two ladies had never realised that Xavier knew he had the right to give commands.And he had just screamed the first one at his brother and to make the matter worse at the defense of Shamma
"Natty,i'm sorry i shouted at you."
"Xavier,if you continue playing with her then i will not play with you ever again.I am your brother so lets play together and let her go back to her poor mother."
"Stop saying bad stuff to her see she is crying."Xavier said wiping away her tears again.The tears of a commoner.
"Then choose Xavier,choose between Nathan and that girl.Nathan is your brother and she is just nothing.Choose." Aurora said fueling the fire even more.Although Catherine wanted to stop it all, she too wanted to see what her son would do especially after the outrageous command he had given.
"But Nathan is my brother.Okay i will play with both of you but at different times since you are fighting with each other
"No!Its either you play with me or that witch!"
"Stop it!I will not play with someone who calls other people bad names so play alone!" Xavier snapped before taking Shamma's hand and dragging her away with him completely oblivious of his mother who stood by the door.This left everybody short for words, the two women realising that the bond between the two children was actually stronger than they thought
"Why did you do that?" Catherine said entering the room
"Do what Catherine?You too scared of what is becoming of your son in the hands of that...witch?"she said after throwing a look at Nathan who was now sitting beside her.
"Look at your son Aurora just look at him.He is sad because of what you have just done.Cant you stop being selfish atleast for your son's sake?You are using him!"
"What do you want?"
"Shamma is Xavier's chosen one.She is his protector so stop making things hard for my son."
"Things hard for your son?I am actually doing you a favour."
"What favour can you possibly do for me Aurora...?"
"Of avoding history repeating itself."
"Stop trying to meddle into our matters and similarly Nathan is a little boy who needs to enjoy his childhood.We are not friends at all but do not come between Nathan and Xavier they are brothers."
"Catherine as you can see i was spending quality time with my son before your party came and ruined everything.Leave us."
"Stop with your mind games Aurora.Stop it." With that Catherine left her.She always managed to pretend as if she was fine with everything but she was not and there was nothing anybody could do about it.At that point she was now putting all her faith trust and hope into the creator.She was now trusting her son to not make history repeat itself
"Dont cry Sham,Nat was just being mean but he will apologise you will see." A voice snapped Catherine out of her thoughts. Xavier and Shamma sat by the stairs with Shamma still crying
"I am not a witch Xavier i promise i am not. This right here is just a birthmark mom said its my birthmark i am not a witch."she said opening her palms as she sobbed
"Sham,dont cry.You are not a witch at all you are my friend.I do not care what Nathan says we will always play together i will never leave you."
"You will not?" Catherine kept on watching the two realising that it was already too late but still hoping that once they actually get to know their roles in each other's lives all will be well.
"I will not Sham so dont you ever cry again okay?This Xavier will never leave you.You are my Shamma." Now Shamma was grinning from ear to ear, as if nothing ever happened.

Shamma tried to navigate her way around the unsettled crowd but she failed to find Xavier.The more she tried to follow the direction in which Xavier went the more she got lost.She was constantly shoved from one spot to another by the older people who were trying to catch a glimpse of King Roland "Xavier!" She screamed but her small voice went with the wind "Hey kid watch it!" A fierce looking man said pushing her away before she landed on the hard ground. "Xavier!"she cried out now rather sobbing her eyes looking up to these gigantinc looking people infront of her.It wasnt long before she felt a pair of hands caressing her hair and when she turned to look an old lady stooped low to her size and smiled warmly at her "Xavier...grand

That very night,Alex entered the palace in all haze and managed to dodge King Roland and Catherine as he made his way to see his sister.The news of Xavier and Shamma's dissappearence had him and Aurora putting their plan into motion and it was one opportunity they could not miss "Its open!" Aurora called out after the sound of a knock.She sat on the large bed carrying a bowel of apples,one apple already in her hand as she munched away.Alex was sure to lock the door before walking over to sit next to her,careful not to wake a snoring Nathan "How did it go?Got my message?" "I did and i sent the deadliest man after them." Alex whispered back picking an apple,"I'm glad i got your message before Roland sent out his men and i havent heard anything yet but i trust Rob,he will get to them b

Shamma sped through the dark bushy forest following what her instincts were leading her to.She could see herself running, she could see her palms glowing and although it was night time, her eyes allowed her to have a clearer vision.It wasnt dark at all on her part because her vision was daylight clear. The the more she tried to stop she just couldn't. There was a stronger force controlling her and she could only just but abide by it. The feeling was quite strange though it was not the first time she was feeling that way.It had happened some years back when they were around four years of age but by that time she was too young to unleash the glow. Xavier had happened to fall down the staircase.Shamma was playing alone outside and the feeling had made its fist appearance.She had involuntarily left what she was doing and ran into the palace only to find a crying Xavier being carried to his room.She had not heard him scream or anything but she

Without much of an effort, Shamma stretched out her right hand and defied the law of gravity. Xavier could only but stare at the stagnant sword inches away from his neck. Rob just glared at the same incident face registered with shock.He was at some point quite sure someone was going to die, but the odds were now fully stacked against him. Shamma twisted her hand, and in the same manner the sword turned, its tip now fully facing a stunned Rob"Please, please dont kill me it was not my idea plea..." but before he could say more his sword flew towards him piercing through his chest.He gasped for air as he sunk to the ground but it was too late. He died.Xavier upon seeing what had just happened could not move either.The events of that very night were becoming too heavy for him to bear such that he ended up letting the darkness envelope him."Xavier!" Shamma screamed running towards him"Xavier get up, Xavier!" she screamed but his eyes would not open.It was

Shamma woke up next to her mother the next morning. Shayne had rather refused to spend the night at the royal house and was accompanied back home.He was an adventurous teenager, old enough to be by himself."Goodmorning mommy.""Goodmorning my love how are you today?""I am fine mommy. Oh my i have to check up on Xavier!" she said jumping out of the bed and running towards the door"Be careful dont trip!""I wont!" she called out and in a moment she was gone, banging the door shut on her way out. Dora was left alone with her thoughts. She gave a silent prayer thanking her maker for life and for Shamma. She thanked Him for everything that had happened the previous night definitely gra

A big blue truck stopped by the roadside the driver getting out to go and relieve himself. Xavier and his companion looked on until he was fully distracted before sneaking into the back of the truck"What are we doing?" Xavier whispered once their backs kissed the cold truck floor to secure their hiding"Shh." said the man as the driver got into the car and took off. The motion was like nothing Xavier had ever felt and it was a good feeling"What do you call this?" he asked the man who spared him a quizzical stare"Call what?""This!" he whispered looking around, "Where i come from we travel in carriages i have never see this kind of transport." the bald man ignored his squims choosing to admire the fresh blue sky instead"I did not get your name...i'm pri...i mean...my name is Xavier. What is your name?""Scott.""Its nice to meet you Scott. So what is this place. Where am i?" he whispered trying not to

She pushed the door open revealing a distraught Marcus who sat sprawled on the cold ground looking miserable"Father?" she walked over to sit next to him, "Father is anything the matter? Why are you sitted on the floor?" Marcus lazily turned his gaze towards her then back to space"Father talk what is wrong?""I am done for Tammy...its over!" he said looking straight at her"Father i will marry Nathan, i will do it just get up we will chase mother's dream together okay?" he gave a faint smile before taking her hands into his"You do not have to marry Nathan anymore.

Silence made the noise by the Luyotan boundary as they watched Xavier being swallowed by the bolts of magic while attempting to make history. Tanisha crossed her fingers praying silently and it was then that her prayers got answered and Xavier flew out of the gates landing on the hard grounds of Luyota."Xavier!" his mother called out running towards him Tamera closely following behind. Aurora cursed at the outcome her anger knowing no bounds. Right when she thought she was about to get rid of one of her problems the plan backfired. She felt rather miserable and Marcus wouldn't stop shooting deadly stares at her"Are you okay?" asked Catherine helping him up with Tamera's help. He looked over at Zuri who shook his head telling him he had failed"No it cant be! I have to go mother i have to....Zuri!" he ran over to him his gaze falling on the floating invisibilty diamond before finding Zuri"What happened?""I told you about an outside source

The long awaited day had come for Xavier to attempt leaving and Catherine was right by his side accompanying him to the kingdom's boarder where Dazrey and Zuri were already awaiting them. Tamera walked by Xavier's other side her heart feeling rather heavy but finding a bit of solace in the glowing beads of the sky. Just looking at the twinkling stars in the sky always had a way of calming her down a little but as she was staring she almost tripped landing in Xavier's arms"Are you okay?" he asked Tamera who nodded before continuing their walk. Her thoughts reeled back again to her father who seemed excited about Xavier leaving because the obstacle to his accomplishment was finally going to be out of the way. He had insisted on following after them as he claimed he had business to take care of at the palace. A couple of ministers had come along as they could not fail to miss this never seen before event Aurora and Nathan being amongst them. Finally getting to the boarder, the

Aurora kept tossing and turning throughout the night unable to think straight. What had she gotten herself into this time? She had always been able to whistle her way out of any and every situation but this time it was a not working. How was she going to openly admit to something that will ruin Nathan forever? It would kill him yes it would. After all the effort she had put into placing him on the throne she was not ready to let go and she had to think of a plan, that too fast*****Tanisha was up early the following morning and rushed to check on Tamera. Tempering with the door handle she was glad it was nolonger locked hence walked in sure to close it after herself. She found her still asleep and she looked really pitiful. What was it about Xavier leaving again? She did not understand but she wanted to, that way she would be able to help her if she could"Tammy." she softly shook her and she slowly opened her eyes"Tanny...oh its morning already i must

"What was Aurora talking about Xavier?" asked Catherine after a brief moment of silence"Princess, go wait for me at the stables i will come take you for horse riding." he said to Rebecca who was glad to. Remaining with his mother he helped her to a seat knowing fully well she would need it"Mother, i want to tell you something. I know i should have told you earlier but i couldn't so...""What is it Xavier what tell me." she asked looking tense"Mother i have been running around trying to find my destiny but its not in Luyota.""How do you mean Xavier? I dont understand.""Mother, I know this may sound absurd and you may not approve of it but please, Luyota is not really where i want to be right now. I just want to travel and see what is out there. Mother losing the throne was sign enough that my intuition was right all along. I want to go mother i want to find my true purpose and destiny. Allow me to leave Luyota please." Catherine just fro

Aurora's laugh echoed from within her room once she got the news about Xavier's request. Dazrey and Nathan switched glances before staring back at her."Mother its not funny." said Nathan"Yes its not funny Natty, its the greatest news ever!" she laughed loud again, "You agreed right?""Ofcourse not, mother i cant let him go its not safe!" he spat, "I may not like Xavier but he is my brother and i care about him!""Oh shut up Nathan shut up!

I cannot leave my mother i cant she is all alone"Really?""Yes me leaving would kill her. She recently lost father i dont want to add onto that.""So in other words you do not believe Wally?" she asked staring into space"I guess i do not believe in myself.

"Once again mother, thank you for letting us stay. We appreciate." said Xavier right after Catherine had said her peace and headed to the awaiting carriage the following morning. They had seen it best to spend one more night just so Xavier could have a word with Shayne but he failed to get him to say anything."Xavier. This is your home so you do not owe anybody gratitude. Just make sure you visit again""Yes mother ofcourse i will." he said looking at Shayne who was totally absent minded, "We will go now. Goodbye mother." he then ran after Catherine. Shayne and Dora watched them get into the carriage and it quickly took off. Dora waved at them while Xavier's stare remained on distraught Shayne up until he was out of sight. Something was most definitely wrong and he knew it."Why didnt
