Ring Of Fire

Ring Of Fire 3

In Mmafa, Lotem has triumphed and the Chief Seer was kneeling before her and her army of the dead. Only the King of Mmafa died and most of his soldiers perished.

In the underworld, the lord of the dead was in rage. He stood and declared that he will lead a war of the dead against the living and particularly against Lotem.

The lord of the underworld was directing his army of the dead towards Lobatam. He knew that the eight kings of the earth, their armies and their men of their sacred oracles were gathered in Lobatam to decide the fate of Lotem. The lord knew he had to first launch his attack on Lobatam before gaining the ground to wait for the arrival of Lotem. All the roads leading to Lobatam was shaking and the grounds were opening. The dead escaped their graves and sweeping down to Lobatam in their tens of thousands. The lord of the underworld was on his dead horse making his way to Lobatam with dead heroes riding beside him. In Lobatam, the kings of the earth with their seers have finished preparing their armies and their men of their oracles. Zimba matched to where his horse was standing and mounted on it. Feb mounted his. The men of the oracles roared and their voices shook the earth. But the dead were advancing to Lobatam and their noises were reaching the field already. Zimba listened carefully and came down from his horse. The Kings listened attentively and like thunder in the sky the ground nearest to them started opening and the army of the dead swept down on them. Zimba screamed for positioning and the men of the oracles and the soldiers of the lands grouped up and charged, with their hearts beating faster. They were fortified but the last great war they fought was with the possessed and not with the dead. If these dead were coming for war then it was suicide and glory to the men of the oracle. The battle began and Zimba danced dangerously with his swords. Feb equally was good at this but tens of thousands of the dead were coming out more and more. The Kings knew it was over for them. Zimba climbed up a hill and watched the sea of men and the dead mixing and screaming and blooding. He knew the sons of men were loosing and the children of the dead were winning. He shook his head and saw in the mountains the lord of the dead sitting on his horse. He swore to go after the lord himself. He jumped down and made his way to the mountain. In Mmafa, Lotem and Ama, with their army of the dead and the remaining soldiers of Mmafa were planning to go back to Lobatam.

Zimba was cutting down the dead on his way as he ran towards the mountain to meet with the lord of the dead. Feb sighted his move and screamed his name. He knew at once what Zimba was trying to do and he felt his attempt to get to the lord himself will be his doom. Feb too started running towards the mountain, not to kill the lord but to save Zimba from him. The lord dismounted from his horse on sighting Zimba. His dead heroes also came down from their horse and waited for Zimba. Lotem was riding with speed down to Lobatam. The ring was glowing again and this time the hotness of it was burning her finger. Ama was watching her face as they were riding. "Are you okay mistress?" Ama asked. "I'm fine" Lotem answered. "You are not. You are sweating" Ama spoke. "The ring. It is burning my finger" Lotem said still riding with her army of the dead and some soldiers of Mmafa riding behind her. "Then it can mean only one thing. The lord of the underworld is on the earth and his target must be at Lobatam. We must ride faster" Ama said. "Yes. We must. My brother is there and he must not die" Lotem said and kicked her horse harder. In Lobatam, on the mountain, Zimba had put himself in the middle of the lord and his generals and was fighting them fiercely. The lord stood and watched as his generals overpowered him and were about to cut off his head when he stopped them. Feb descended on them and was on the verge of saving Zimba but the generals were tough and even a sword into their bellies could not kill them. They overpowered Feb too and made them kneel. The lord approached Them and said, "This one is the brother to the lady who has the ring. And Feb was my loyal servant who preferred Ama to serving me. I will keep them as we wait for the lady herself. She is coming to Lobatam and death shall swallow her" In the field the battle continued but the men of the oracles of the earth and the soldiers of the eight kingdoms were loosing the battle against the dead. From the North Lotem was descending towards the field of Lobatam. The dead generals and their lord turned to look at her. Lotem raised the finger up and Zimba smiled. Feb was staring at Ama who was riding beside Lotem. "Command all the dead from the underworld to turn and advance all their forces towards Lotem" the lord commanded and the generals obeyed at once.

In Mmafa, Lotem has triumphed and the Chief Seer was kneeling before her and her army of the dead. Only the King of Mmafa died and most of his soldiers perished.
