The Conqueror Series

Warriors 11

   The Northern Kings and rulers were beginning to feel threatened in their palaces. Army camps were being deserted by soldiers who felt the gods were favouring the women slaves. "If not how on earth could a handful of women who broke out from a palace in the West grow so large in a couple of weeks. And how on earth could anyone explain what happened at the sea before the site here in this North? When the sea began to dance and thousands of Northern soldiers died right there in front of the slave women?. The gods of the North, West, East and South are favouring women. My wife whom I left at home equally joined the slave women. Isn't that the worst about the whole thing? When the wives we keep at home to nurture our children, kill our male children and escape to the site across the sea to join Gizza. What other name is more famous in the world now than the name Gizza? I have nothing left for me here. My heart is shattered and I'm not going to belong in a group that will one day fight my own wife and daughters" said of the Northern soldiers before he packed his things and decided to desert from the army. One of the soldiers had held his hand and said, "and where is safer than in the midst of soldiers? Their rage reaches far in the South, East and West. Here in the  North they nest and eat deep into us. Where on earth will you be safer?" The soldiers had always asked the ones trying to abandon their rank.

This continued to happen in the North and kings and rulers of the West stopped sending their army North to protect the vulnerable kings and rulers of the North. Soon kings and rulers in the North began to abandon their homes and fleeing to the South or East where the kings and rulers there still made it clear that they had no resources to spay and that they were getting ready to be able to defend their own lands when the hundreds of thousands of ferocious slave women decide to invade.

In the site, Nabel was too great. They began to build a strong camp, using the site to construct a powerful and defensive wall. A golden armour was made for Nabel who now bore the name of Gizza. She was made a golden throne to sit on but she said she desired a fast horse instead with the best steals ever. These were made available for her. Most of the nights the ladies had each other and began to get used to it.

Still in the North, in an abandoned village, inside an old hut, Davi's mother, the Queen of Arika had fully recovered but Gizza had been sick again for weeks. This bothered Davi. He was seated outside while his soldiers were hunting in a nearby forest. His mother came out to join him. The wound on her neck was still noticeable. Davi looked up to behold her beauty. He shook his head and wondered how she remained that pleasing in the eyes after all she passed through.

"You look pretty mother" he said to her. The Queen sat beside him and kept quite. "Tell me anything" said Davi.

"Your father...your father is dead" she said.

"I know. Gizza told me" said Davi.

"She was the one who killed your father. Why are you bringing curse on yourself by saving the life of a woman who took the life of your own...

"Mother...She took care of you out of remorse for what she did. We have all done terrible things in the past" said Davi.

"Not as terrible as she has. Because of her thousands have died. More thousands will die. Do you think her destiny is what you need to involve yourself in? Asked the mother.

" I think I have survived this far for a reason. She will live to heal the world she has injured" said Davi. His mother kept looking at him. After a while she slapped him across the face and said, "maybe I will die too for your stupidity" she walked back into the hut.

                 ***

The few soldiers of the North who survived the storm in the sea with Davi and who were hunting for wild animals near the hut were now discussing in low tones. One of them hissed and said, "he is leading us to nowhere. There is no meat here, no water, no nothing yet he makes us provide herbal treating for the lady that stabbed the world as a whole. We should return to the hut and kill the three of them. Kill them and leave this place"

The rest agreed and they started walking back to the hut, armed and ready to kill Davi, the Queen and Gizza.
