Promised child

CHAPTER 3

Eight years passed, Ivar and Emma grew so fond of themselve. They would usually go out to play often with each other and come back at the early hours of evening for dinner. On a certain day both Ivar and Emma went out to play, but they never returned at their usually time. And after Hours of waiting Queen Melissa and kora felt something was not right for they were supposed to be back already by this of the day . They should have been back by now , this has never happened before. Don't you think we should go out to look for them already, oh Melissa Let us wait a little longer if they are not back by then we shall go out to the fields to look for them. You both stay here and wait just incase they come back and I shall go out to the field to search for them said Leonard. And as he walked to the door he saw Emma running towards the door which tears in her eyes. Please help, please help! Calm yourself Emma you're safe what seems to be the problem, where is Ivar ? asked the Melissa. We were out playing in the fields and Ivar was running fast ahead of me . We didn't notice the hole in front of us and he feel badly into it and broke his leg and is injured badly I tried to help him out but I couldn't and decided to run for help immediately. Melissa broke into tears saying where is he right now, I hope is still alive please tell me his not dead. Please calm your self Melissa I shall leave with Emma at once to get Ivar back to us safely, both you and Kora should remain and pray for our safe return and also prepare some herbs before we arrive . Leonard and Emma left in a hurry to recuse Ivar . They got to the hole out in the field and Leonard shouted Ivar! Ivar! Can you hear me ? But he did not get a reply for Ivar was greatly injured and had passed out . Leonard quickly looked for a way and successfully brought Ivar out of the hole and hurried back home. Getting home Melissa could see them from a distance with tears in her eyes she rushed to them . Oh my God how's Ivar is he alive. He is Bearly alive Melissa, he needs treatment Hurry let us lay him down inside. They applied herb's on him and did their best to relife him of the pain. Are you hurt Emma? asked Melissa, not at all but Ivar is . I feel so bad seeing him lie in pains like this I hope he wakes up soon. I too pray to see him up again he is all I have left in the world. I pray the gods hear me and bring him back to me . Kora said to Melissa we all pary so Melissa Ivar has a strong spirit and I am sure he will pull through please cry no more Melissa. I feel Bad that I was not there to protect him Melissa I am so sorry I let you down said Leonard, it's not your fault Leonard who are we to stop the children from playing no one excepted of this to happen replied Melissa.

They all fell asleep that night and before dawn the broken leg and brusies Ivar had began to heal , the next day he was completely healed and they all amazed. How can a human who had a broken leg and bruises be completely healed overnight said kora. We can not say for sure but It's is a blessing and we should all rejoice for my son is alive and strengthed once again. Leonard and Queen Melissa later had a discussion in private to talk about Ivar's Speedy recovery. How is my son's broken leg and injuries all gone in a single night? Thanks to the gods my son is well again but I really need to understand what has happened to my son Leonard. My queen I can think of no logical explanation but my blood which you drank years ago to heal you of your illness. The blood of the werewolf clan has the power to give special abilities to humans. Only few can survive such things,indeed Ivar is a special child and I think Ivar has been blessed with some of these abilities. With your permission I can teach and Train him on everything he needs to know and also find out what level of abilities he is blessed with. If indeed what you say is true then my son can avenge his father and reclaim his rights to the throne of Mordor for his is it's rightful ruler. Please Leonard teach and Train my son in all that he needs to be strong enough to fulfil his destiny. You have my word queen Melissa and I shall do all that you have instructed of me to make sure that Ivar is strong enough and ready to fulfil his destiny.

Come with me Ivar said Leonard. I know you must have a lot of questions as to why you recovered in such a short time. I shall tell you all the answers that you seek and I shall train you and teach you all you need to know as instructed by you mother. You have the blood of a werewolf running in your vains Ivar, you're special and have been blessed with special abilities. Something most people fail to possess in a lifetime . How is this even possible Leonard why do I possess such abilities. It happened shortly after Titus attacked your father king Blake, I and your mother made and escaped to keep you safe from harm and your mother fell so ill on escape ,we almost lost you so your mother had no choice but to drink of my blood and you were safe . Titus and his army are still in search of us and you need to be able to protect yourself when the need arises.I never knew you were blessed with abilities until now . So I have no choice but to train and teach you all that you need to know to face Titus and take your rightful place as king of Mordor.

Ivar's training began and for five year's his training continued. Ivar was indeed a strong and great warrior, at this point he began to get better at controlling and making good use of his abilities to a great extents. Ivar was stronger and faster than normal humans, his senses and tissues higher than that of humans as well but still he had much to learn for Titus was still far stronger then Ivar.

Titus continued the search for queen Melissa and her son and made his spices and armies search even further for them to be found. On a sunny afternoon in the market place of Wessex, one of Titus spice who was searching for them had reach Wessex and at his arrival his bumped into queen Melissa and kora. As he bumped into them their basket of cherry fell to the ground and scattered. Oh I am sorry said the spice, here let me help you pick them up. It's alright thank you said Kora . As he stood up and looked closer he realised that the other lady close to kora was queen Melissa who had fled the kingdom of Mordor. With this he knew that he had to keep a close watch and observe them to take words back to Titus. I'm new here in Wessex and do not know my way around said the spy . I really do apologise once again why don't I help you both with your load back to your place that is the least I can to make up for my mistake. Oh never mind said Melissa, I insist honestly it's nothing at all. You just arrived Wessex and it would be unfair of us to ask such of you said Melissa and So they left. He knew he had to take words back to Titus and continued to trace them secretly. He studied them for days and discovered queen Melissa had given birth to a son with this discovery he left Wessex immediately for Mordor to inform Titus of what he had found out.

He reached the kingdom of Mordor and went to the palace immediately. My lord I bring great news to your hearing , what news do you have for me ?feel free to speak. My lord Titus I have just returned From the kingdom of Wessex, on my arrival at Wessex I discovered the hideout location of the fugitives Queen Melissa the wife of king Blake , I tracked her for days to be sure of her location and also found out she had given birth to a son. So you mean you know the current location of queen and her child as we speak? asked Titus. Yes my lord Titus I am certain and saw them with both my eye. You have done a good job , go have some rest and in a few days we shall attack queen Melissa and her child for they both must die. Five days later Titus and a few of his Elite soilders left for the kingdom of Wessex to put an end to Melissa and her child.

Titus and his elite soldiers got to Wessex late at night and decided they were to rest for the night to lunch their attack the next day. On the next day early that morning Leonard and Ivar left early for training and at this point Titus and his elite soilders had surrounded the house where they lived. He asked his elite soldiers not to attack until he gave the signal to do so. While they were waiting Melissa, kora and Emma were set and ready to leave for trade at the market unknowing to Melissa that she had forgotten her purse at the table side. on their way to the market Melissa realised her purse was left behind, and she said you both should continue to the market and I'll join up, why so Melissa asked Kora , I seem to have forgotten my purse and I need to go fetch it , I'll meet up with you both right after I recover it. You hurry back and we'll both wait here for you said Kora. Okay if you insist kora answered Melissa and she left in a hurry.

Reaching the house Melissa entered to fetch her purse. While fetching her purse she heard a sound at the door and thinking it was kora and Emma,and she said I thought you both were to wait for my return for us to continue our journey to the market. As she turned around and looked back she was shocked and scared to see Titus behind her. So this is where you and your child have been hiding for years now . kora and Emma were still waiting, what's taking her so long already haven't she found her purse yet said kora. Let's go back and help her out like the saying goes two heads are indeed better than one , alright mom answered Emma.
