Long lost

"What's this",King Bonyaka shouted,"is this being even human".

"He's your son",Queen Diana shouted back. The king narrowed his eyes to look at her and to the shock of the guards he did nothing to her normally,no one dared shout at the King the punishment was usually very brutal,this was another clear proof that she was his most beloved wife even though she was the third among nine wives.

"He's the devil".the king shouted and threw the to weeks old baby in the air.

"No!", the Queen shouted to the King's face as her maid dived into the air to catch the baby.The king slapped Queen Diana a deafening slap that sent her to the ground crying her handmaid standing innocently behind her carrying the baby.

"Get her out of my sight",the king said gently and two out of his guards carried the Queen outside the King's chamber and dropped her outside in the compound immediately they dropped her they hurried inside for fear of being punished by the Queen.According to the tradition of yeku inside of the king's chamber the guards there belonged to him and no one dared to mess with the kings property but outside the King's chamber they could be commanded by any Lord or lady of the land.

The Queen sat on the ground of the compound crying as her bodyguards who had been waiting for her outside the King's chamber approached,her handmaid stood behind her and watched her for sometime before she spoke.

"Your majesty you are the queen of Yeku it is an abomination for you my queen to sit on the ground with your sacred garments and precious jewels,please rise my queen",the Queen suddenly stop crying and stood to her feet then she began to walk towards her chamber followed by her handmaid who came before her four personal guards.

The handmaid looked at the child a second time and concluded that the King didn't make any mistake calling him the devil he had very long sharp finger and toe nails that grew faster anytime they were cut.Of course the Queen had tried cutting them several times before she presented him to the King but it took less than an hour to grow back his eyes we are pure white and he had no pupils they even doubted he could see but he could. The baby had very long hair that reached his legs and in yeku it was an abomination for a man to grow his hair it was strictly against tradition and this child was born with long hair that alone was a enough to make him an abomination worst of all the hair grew even twice as fast as his finger and toe nails what amazed her the most was that the baby didn't even cry at all in fact she had never heard him cry a normal baby would have cried out his eyes when the King threw him but this baby didn't,he did not even cry when he was newly born he was mistaken for dead until he began to play on the cotton clothes laid on the ground such a being could not be human of course it was the devil 8 years after the so called devil was born he was forgotten he was given a chamber at the isolated part of the palace close to the forest the King made everyone hate him the only people that still cared about him were his personal bodyguards his mother and the handmade that was there for him at the time of his birth he wasn't treated like every other prince he never ate with the royal family never attended family meetings or cabinet meetings that his fellow princes attended, never had prince meeting with his father and the other princes it was like he never existed and because he didn't attend meeting or hardly communicated with anyone he knew very little about the traditions of yeku what bothered him the most was that his father never trained him alongside the other princes.They usually trained in a field close to his chamber and from the roof of one of the building's in his chamber he watched them train and then he practiced what he saw his father,King Bonyaka teach in the woods where he felt very free.

With time he began to notice the regular mistakes his brothers made that caused their defeat.Also he observed even Bonyaka's mistakes and the things he did that caused him to loose a fight,he always reminded himself that a warrior had to make only one mistake to fall in battle no matter how great a warrior he was.Because of this he began to craft a technique of his own that was free of mistakes or misses,a technique that always kept the user on guard and at the sametime giving him accuracy,the fighting technique was so powerful and yet easy to use but also hard to learn,very hard.Even Shua himself the creator took three years to perfect it.

To practice this technique one had to be as free as water and yet be as stiff as stone for stamina's sake and also to fully practice this fighting technique,one had to choose a weapon he could connect with to reduce the misses to a minimum.

the prince spent so much time in fighting because it was his passion,it was what he loved,in fighting he got his release,it was the only thing holding him together he could not do without it
