The Conqueror Series

Warriors 21

     On the tallest rock in the forest of Mobi where Prince Davi was standing with the boy Gizza killed in the palace of Arika, Prince Davi turned to look at the boy as he asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm the god of men. Life will be through you. An enemy will become a friend. Listen to your inner guide" the boy said and disappeared. Prince Davi looked towards the sea of women from the East and saw they were looking towards him still. He remained standing there, no longer wondering how he returned to the land of the living. Gizza who was made to lie down beside the feet of one of the prophetesses was watching Prince Davi, her son. In her heart was filled with motherly love. She began to look around as she witnessed something strange; all the women were beginning to fall on their kneels before Prince Davi. There was a thunderous salute from all the four corners of Mobi. The greatest number of women from the East subjected themselves to Prince Davi, including the prophetesses from the West. Prince Davi came down from the rock and approached the prophetesses, without a word bent over his mother. Gizza held his cheek as Davi pressed her hand.

"How is it possible?" Asked Gizza with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know. But here I am" said Davi.

"Yes, my son here you are to change the world. I will not be here to witness it but you v'e got to return affection to who gave it. Nabel waits in the East. Go to the East and change the world from there" Gizza said emotionally. Davi knew she would die and he was going to be there while she gave up the ghost. Finally Gizza stopped breathing. She was dead. Prince Davi slowly got up and said to the prophetesses, "We will give a befitting burial to my mother Gizza here in Mobi where she belongs. After that we will go to the East to pay Nabel a visit"

In the East, the news had reached Nabel and the rest of the female warriors at her service. She was seen seated alone in her throne room with tears and fear in her eyes. She knew that Prince Davi was coming to kill her.
