Episode 12
"Bring the woman to me" the ruler of the red village ordered one of his generals. The general went to Jake's mother as she stood beside her horse and innocently smiling to it.
"We will soon be going home okay" she teased the horse.
"Woman, Chief wants to see you" the general said while standing in front of her.
"I only came for my son. The one eyed man must be in danger too. He must have misinterpreted what happened to my son and...
Before she could finish the general turned and walked away rudely. Jake's mother sighed and followed him. When they reached where the Chief was Jake's mother was happy to see the One Eyed Man. She went and embraced him.
" I'm happy you are safe. So much happened when you left with the servants. My son woke up and we told him what happened. He stubbornly decided to go after you to bring back the girls. I see none of them with you and my son? Did you meet him? The woman sounded so anxious.
"Woman! Your son is evil and he deceptively possesses the forbidden power of immortality. He tends to use this power to destroy the red villages. Your son has started a war and we will finish that war. From now on Kezeya is at war with the red people. Which means at this very moment, you are our prisoner" the ruler said to her harshly.
Jake's mother looked the one eyed man and said, "I passed the red villages, crossed rivers and forests and survived the red captors to find my son who went after you to retrieve his servants. He has a kind heart. I know him. And now that I'm among the civilized people of the red, you hold me prisoner?" Asked Jake's mother, turning her face towards the ruler.
The ruler stood up and slapped Jake's mother and she fell on her kneels. She touched her lips and felt blood in them.
"The law in my lands I give and the red captors are my people too. They follow my orders. Your son abducted my daughter! He will willingly give away the power of the immortality or you die" the ruler said and walked away angrily. Jake's mother looked up to see the one eyed man smiling with the witch.
"You didn't think I will still remind you how you abandoned me for that rich fool? You didn't think I will have my revenge on you?" Said the one eyed man.
"All these is about my lack of love for you?" Jake's mother asked from where she knelt.
"Yes. Kezeya will pay. Your husband will pay" said the one eyed man as he walked away.
"Kill me and let my son go" begged Jake's mother.
"We don't have your son but he will pass here. We are waiting for him. You should also wait for him" said the witch before she too walked away from her. Jake's mother sat right there and cried bitterly.
In the forest of the red village Jake and Tracy were approaching the village where his mother was held as a prisoner. He stood on a valley and watched in a shock as his mother was tied on a wooden cross and two executioners with their sharpened axes standing at her sides. Jake could see the great army of the red people waiting for him.
The ruler stood up and the great army saluted him. The one eyed man and the witch stood up. The one eyed man began;
"Jake! In case you are doubting your sight. This is your mother. What other evidence do you need to understand your mother's love for you? She came looking for you. Now you should come and save her. If you are faster than an arrow you won't be able to reach here to save her from these men. So make your choice. Release the power in you by having s*x with that girl right there on that valley or risk loosing your mother"
Jake looked at Tracy and Tracy didn't know what to say. Jake knew the one eyed man meant it. He loved his mother. He turned to Tracy and they looked deeply into each other's eyes. Tears fell from Tracy's eyes as she now understood what Jake was passing through, now knew that s*x dismisses the spirit of immortality, now realised how her last friend died and now willing to die too after having s*x with Jake.
She pressed her lips in his ear and whispered; "have s*x with me, loose your power and once you are weak and among them I will kill myself and death shall swallow them when you have to regain your power and unleash terror on them"
From afar where the witch stood with the one eyed man, The Witch smiled and said to the one eyed man, " I told you that love will be his doom"
