Ancient Prophetess

Ancient Prophetess Chapter 18

When the midwives who took Turu out of the tent saw that they could not be able to escape from the angry soldiers of Adwaru they had let go of the baby and it was the maid who was inside the tent where Turu's mother was giving birth to her that picked her up and ran towards the open forest, tearing her way and not looking back, falling and getting up to continue running. It was a scary thing to see a lady running and with a baby in her hand and not stopping a bit. She fell the last time and remained on the ground for she had seen Some of the Adwaru soldiers coming closer and making their way to her. She remained on the ground because she wanted not to be seen and not because she had injured herself so much that she could not stand. She remained like that until one of the soldiers from Adwaru saw her and shouted and the rest began to pursue her without looking back. She too began to run without looking back. A thing every survivor does while escaping from those that would want her dead was to scream and that was what she was doing; screaming..

As the maid now sat in her husband's hut and remembered a these things she moved to believe that a thing like this could only be made possible by the gods. That he set free from the grips of the people of Adwaru because the gods wanted the baby Turu to be alive and to remain for they had a big plan for her. She sat there and remembered about her own life and how she had survived to that point. Her mother was a seller in the market of Aiin and she was so close with her mother. Her father had died a pauper and her mother being only a seller of foodstuffs would have her accompany her to the market and she would sit and help her out with the stuffs in the market. Her mother gave birth to her in a farm when they went farming in their only land in Aiin and that day the maid came into the world like any other child excpdt that her coming was not announced due to the fact that she was given birth to in a farm and not in the tent of a midwife. Her mother continued to nurture her until she came of age. The maid was a well mannered child who also was attending so to so many things at the same time. She would go from here to there seeking for work, supporting her mother and making sure the poor woman lacked nothing. This was a typical young girl girl who was out to support and not to derail. Her mother would use her as an example to teach the rest of the people of the town, letting them know how special her child was. The maid grew up and decided to serve in the home of the husband to the prophetess of Aiin, Turu and there she became a servant to Turu's parents and lived like that with them. So much joy in her heart and it was a great thing to witness a young girl delivering all she could to support the family of the prophetess. When the Adwarus attacked and took possession of the place the maid had to run with Turu.

Turu on the other hand survived inside the farm with the man marrying the maid who took care of her but the man did not survive the spears that flew in the air and descended upon him. He died instantly and Turu ran back home to inform the Maid that the man that had married her was dead and they had to leave there at once and having nowhere else to go to decided to go to the palace of the king of Abraka and there Turu became a maid. She had the blood of a prophetess in her and that was what she intend using one day. So when the king of Abraka talked about the coming of the Adwarus she assured him that she would stand her ground and support him. After explaining all these to the king the king agreed that Turu would allow herself to be kidn*pped so as to take revenge on the Abaraka and particulary on Lamba whom everybody feared. When the time came the Adwarus came with a full force war broke out. It was a deadly battle and many died. The people of Aiin ran, fell and died and Lamba abducted so many prisoners. They took these prisoners home and while Lamba was busy trying to do what was right with the people Turu slew his throat in front of everyone and was killed too after Lamba was buried.
