The Conqueror Series

Warriors 1

  Inside a small kingdom named Mobi, it was night already and Gizza remained inside the hut with her sick grand mother. The old woman was very sick but she kept looking Gizza in the face.

"Grand mother, don't leave me alone please. Mother is gone, father is gone too. No siblings. I feel pain granny. Please stay" Gizza cried. Her beauty was remarkable and her tears were hotter than the pain in her heart. She had been closer with her father's mother even while her parents were still alive. Now that both parents were dead Gizza was forced to look after her granny alone.

She was still in tears when her best friend Nabel arrived with fruits.

"I'm sorry I came late" Nabel said and went and sat close to Gizza's granny. "How is she feeling?" Nabel asked.

Gizza took Nabel outside and said to her, "she is dying. I will soon be alone in this world" she cried. Nabel held her closer and reminded her that she would always be there for her. "She won't die Gizza"

Nabel decided to pass the night at Gizza's hut.

Before day broke, Mobi kingdom was attacked. Gizza ran out of her hut with Nabel and saw as foreign soldiers were cutting the innocent villagers to the ground. Right before her was a soldier running closer with a mighty sword. She fell down with Nabel and the soldier ignored them and ran inside Gizza's hut.

"My granny" Gizza screamed and as she was about to jump on her feet four soldiers rounded them up and began to tie them with ropes. Gizza and Nabel struggled to no avail. Gizza looked up and saw one of the foreign soldiers dragging her sick grand mother out from the hut. Gizza screamed even harder. Nabel's jaw fell open in shock. Gizza couldn't believe it as hot tears stood in her eyes. Three soldiers r***d her granny to death in front of her. Gizza could no longer scream. She fainted. Nabel cried as she and her friend with most of the Mobi villagers were forced into big carriages and moved away from Mobi.

The Mobi kingdom was left in the shadow of itself as the King of Mobi sat on his throne and cried.

"Our kingdom is too small to retaliate" said one of the Chiefs.

When the soldiers arrived with the slaves in the powerful kingdom of Arika, the soldiers were not merciful. They beat the men and forced the hungry women into the tents of the tyrant leaders of the armies of Arika to be abused sexually. Gizza who had woken up but had refused to say a word and her best friend Nabel were among the female slaves forced into one of the tents of the savages. 

The Great King of Arika was seated on his throne as his beautiful wife knelt before him and begged in tears.

"my lord" she began, "those slaves are humans like us. Before I married you you promised to stop s*****y in Arika. You are powerful and rich already. I do not understand what else you seek"

"I seek peace of mind woman. Your only son is weak. You gave birth to him no doubt. He has refused to learn my ways. Save your sermon for your son and teach him the ways of men. My father built this land and I will make it a Paradise before I die. s*****y is money" the king said and dismissed his wife"

 Nabel cried as she and her friend Gizza were forced out of the tents of the generals. They were dragged into a lonely hut and made to stay there with empty stomach.

 Prince Davi stood on the tower of her father's palace and watched the activities at the camp. He was a very handsome prince who had refused to wear his crown as the crown prince of Arika. His mother approached him and held his shoulder.

"My son. You need to eat" the Queen said.

Davi looked at her and said, "will those slaves eat too?"

"They are slaves" said the mother.

"They are humans. Alright mother. Do me a favour. Feed the slave women and children" begged Davi.

"I will not risk your father's wrath son. He wants you to be stronger than you are now" said the Queen.

"If tyranny is strength I choose to be weak" Prince Davi said and walked out on his mother.

Inside the hut where Gizza and Nabel were kept Gizza refused to utter a word. Nabel was still feeling the pain in her waist as she stood and saw blood.

"They destroyed us" Nabel almost cried again. "Please say something Gizza" 

The door of the hut opened and standing before them was Prince Davi. There were servants standing beside him as he instructed them to drop the food he brought for Gizza and Nabel. "Go on and feed the other women and children" Davi instructed the maids. They left him and he walked into the hut. Nabel sat back, glaring at him.

"I mean no harm. My name is Davi" said the Prince.

"You are the crown prince of Arika" said Nabel.

"Yes. Just call me Davi. Your friend is sick. I can get her a physician" the prince got up and left.

"The only kind man in Arika" uttered Nabel.

For the first time since they left Mobi Gizza spoke, "There is no kind man in this world. All men deserve my granny's fate"

Gizza said and looked at Nabel's face with her red and teary eyes and with the tiny blood on her dry lips coupled with the wounds and pains in between her legs Gizza added, "Nabel, *all men must die".*** 

That statement became a motto from that day onwards.
