Down To Earth

Episode 1 Makawi's Pov The early morning sun peeked through my little enclosed dungeon,alerting me of my environment, looking at my current state, I knew I was vulnerable to anything that comes by. Incidences of last night came flooding through, giving me the most unwanted discomfort I could ever ask of. I remembered everything with time as I slowly got relieved of the aches trying to rip my skull apart. Taking back by events, I recalled my current situation was caused by no one else but that witch of my sister named Sisiwa, who not only wanted me dead, but eyed my position as the crowned princess of Manyak Kingdom. As a little child, people said I was the most powerful of all, I didn't get to understand what they meant until last night as all secrets were exposed one after the other. According to legends and myths, alongside tradition, our people were fearsome not only during wars but also economically stable too which earned us the respect we deserved, but all changed under the rule and tenure of my Great-grandfather King Kayak III, whom out of selfishness, greed and lack of wisdom brought foe on the kingdom, which in return earned the wrath of the goddess, but in order to earn redemption, our people were faced with hardships of all kinds but later did I become their renewed hope. I and Sisiwa grew up in the bossom of our mother, while growing, we were inseparable but all came to an abrupt end the previous night. "What do you want from me" was all that came out of my mouth in a low whisper as my internal organs seemed to go on a long-term holiday and left me grasping for breaths, I knew who my captors were but what really seemed pretty surprising to me was the fact that my own family could be amongst them. Then it came to my senses that I was not alone as I heard the clicking of boots on the cold and harsh floor as it approached my direction. Voices appeared all the same and If it was something I was sure of was the clear voice of Sisiwa and Kameh who were the main masterminds behind the attacks on the kingdom as well as my disappearance. "Here she goes, how the mighty has fallen." came the sarcastic voice of Kameh. While trying to process my surroundings in order to give a mindlink, I was greeted with a sneer from Sisiwa which made me realize my powers had already been seized. All I had in mind was how to get home cause I knew how dangerous Sisiwa could be once she gets in contact with a stronger force. "Hush Kameh, you're scaring the little kitten, we need to keep her steady to get what we want." came the strong, harsh but still the ever calm and mischievous voice of Sisiwa who steadies the mind of her prey making them vulnerable and easy to attack. That's why she is been called the most dreaded witch in the whole of Manyak Kingdom. "Dear little sis, did you think I'd sit back and watch you take my position as the crowned princess of Manyak Kingdom and the title of the most powerful being??", "I don't have any idea of what you are talking about Sisiwa, just let me go please." I begged with all that was left in me but was later met with the worst condition any human could ever be bestowed with. "If you desperately need your freedom little kitten, you would do me a favour". Eager to get out of this hell hole, I willingly agreed as all my body hurts like I was physically present in hell, all to be greeted with the most cruel fate ever. "That's so nice of you to help big sis in her misery, well I would need to make use of your powers and whether you like it or not, I do have my ways". With that statement been said, I felt my whole soul leave my body, my mind became as blank as I could ever imagine, not able to live with my powers was a life sentence to me. I was not giving the chance to consider the deal before I felt pangs of pain on my head, chest and neck as the little life left within me was been choked out of me. That's it, my final goodbye to everything I had ever known. My powers, life, family and my existence fell away with each passing moment of Sisiwa draining each and every of my breaths out of my being. The hope of my people being crushed was all I could ever think of and how I was not able to fulfill my destiny. Sisiwa's POV I actually felt bad for doing that to my own flesh and blood whom I cherished the most. My little sister was all I had after I found out about my fate as a witch. Not only were we dreaded like a skin disease but we were been treated differently, most times with hardships and most of all with full-blown contempt and hatred. I hated to be left alone so I confided in my sister and I found the peace and solace I had ever dreamt and searched of all my life. Not only was she a pure soul but a very kind one at that. But all changed when I found out that I was being dethroned and my birth right been sold out right before my eyes and it was no one else but my sister who was going to be crowned as the next
