"What are you two gawking at?!Get rid of those!" Rob said to the two men who immediately sprung to action.The last thing they wanted was to adhere to the same fate,they adored their lives.Shivering Xavier hugged his knees for dear life as his gaze fell on the rope tying his legs.He was not ready to follow the same fate.As traumatised as he was for having to witness such a gruesome event,it still dawned on him that he had to escape else he would die
"Exc...excuse me sir." he stattered earning Rob's fierce look.He had never seen such a fierce looking man in his life,even the one at the market immediately turned out to be a better devil
"I...i...please,i need to pee."
"Why?" Xavier stared at him clearly stunned by the cold responce
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
"Tamera, would you like to go for a walk? We can just collect marbles by the river and come back.""You should just call me Tamera often Sham.It sounds better.Is it far? We can take my carriage.""No no its a little distance from here dont worry." And they were quick to get going"Brother Shayne we are going to the river!""Be careful!" he gave an unheard reply as the girls were endorsed in their conversation"You know Sham.I never really get to play at home. Father does not want me to play with the other kids at home all.""But why Tamera?""He says they are servants children and
"Sham we should come to the river more often. I like it." said Tamera as they made their way back"Its okay Tamera. You can just come to my house and we will go. But lady Tamera, i have never seen your mother, where is she?" Tamera was silent for a moment before responding."Well Sham, we only live with my dad. Dad says my mother died when i was still a baby. I only live with dad and sister Tanisha.""Oh wow you have a sister? I have Shayne and mom. I dont have a dad at all mom says he went to heaven. I hardly remember him anyway.""Well atleast mom is there she takes care of you.""But Tamera i dont like it when mom works a lot. She comes home very tired everytime. When i grow up i
Marcus paced to and fro clearly still trying to process the news he had received. He looked at the opened letter on the floor then at the envelope, stamped with a royal seal clearly proving that it was indeed from the king"I hope this letter finds you in good health. His royal highness King Roland has ordered a ceremony in the crown prince's name with the intention to choose his betrothed. The ceremony will be in two days do bring young lady Tamera. His highness is deeply sorry for the unseen change of plans." it had readMarcus could feel his anger rising from the deepest pit of his stomach. Anything could happen anything could go wrong and the last thing he would want was Tamera to miss out on the throne. That would be his biggest nightmare"Father." a voice got to him. Sep
"Uncle, i dont understand. Tell me more." said Sham clearly eager to know everything. "Do you know what a protector is Sham?" "No uncle Zuri. Well i have been called that before i am not hearing the word for the first time. What is it?" "Back then many centuries have passed already, five kingdoms resided peacefully by the valley of Zaraj. Those five including our Luyota." "Then what happened uncle?" "They were happy Sham. They were from different kingdoms but they cared for one another. They would trade, they would intermarry and they would sometimes have combined ceremonies in the name of strengthening relationships. It was that way up until the war of the worlds broke out. The
Its dark. Probably some minutes past midnight. She is in a cave. Where else could she be? Nobody liked her.Her senses are slowly finding their way to her and so is consciousness."Even if you try anything, you can never kill me Rio!" that memory. It was exactly what led her into the situation she is in. She had underestimated the lad and before she knew it an arrow had pierced her stomach, causing unimaginable pain. Her vains popped out, a green colour dying them"What did you do to me!" she had stammered but Rio just stood there watching. She fell onto the ground blood oozing from the piercing. She coughed and a green liquid had gushed out of her mouth"You poisoned me?!""Goodbye Gativho, i pray you sleep for all eternity." he had s
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
Upon getting home Tamera headed straight to her father's room all ready to give it all up. 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. Father was just selfish to want to sell you off. You can marry whoever you want now Tammy. Dont marry Nathan.""Huh?""I will sleep now i am very tired. Lets talk tomorrow." he said struggling to get up to which Tamera helped him. Leaving him already snoring, a confused Tamera
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! What do you know about care what?! Now listen to me both of you this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get rid of the one and only threat to our rule.""But mother...""Shut up Nathan what do you know? Dazrey you will go meet Xavier and tell him you are ready to do it. Ask that old fool to show you how its done as well, we cannot miss this rare opportunity never!"******"Good afternoon your highness....good afternoon your highness." Xavier got those as he walked past the citizen
"Have you decided yet?" Wally asked sitting right next to him. Xavier sat on a rock next to the flowing river water his bare feet dipped inside."No. i am confused Wally. 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. I am afraid of not being able to see my mother again.""Luyota is slowly drowning, and if you do not follow your heart Xavier, you will lose it.""What?" but
"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
