Chapter 6

In the Chambers of Aromo, friend of Akiza's mother she rose on her feet where she had knelt, coughing and recovering from the grip on her neck from Akiza. When she had stood upright her eyes turned red with fury. Akiza had never seen her in that state ever since he knew her to be one of his mother's Witch friends and it terrified him. He took few steps backward, made to move out of the room but the door banged shut by itself and he knew at once that he was in danger.

"You shouldn't have done that". Aromo began, "It should have remained a privilege for you to taste what is in-between the legs of a Witch but you have spoiled our moment. You have tasted the sweetness of my body, now taste the strength of my powers" 

Few moments later Akiza was seated inside a cage in one of the rooms of the house of Aromo.

In the palace of the King of Dodo he was seated on his throne, knowing fully well that his army had surrendered to the creature of magic; the dragon and Akiza's mother. He was waiting for the Witch whom he was alerted was heading towards the throne room. As he stared towards the door of the throne room he expected a violent and destructive entrance of the Witch and so it happened; the fire first came and then the growling of the dragon, and then in the midst of the fire and the shattering of the doors of the throne room Akiza's mother walked in majestically. The king kept seated and glaring at her as she approached him. The Prophetess of Dodo stepped out of the bedroom of the King, now properly dressed in her full regalia.

Inside the forest near the palace of Dodo the Princess of Dodo was escaping from the carnage in the palace. She would stop, panting and then continue running.

In the kingdom of Akozo, the army had left the camp. King Zakiza was the leader of this great army. 

Words reached the land of Okute of the impending attack and he having not received this information on time hastily began to prepare his men.

The battle that took place in the land of Okute the next day became history. Men bled and their blood formed minor rivers on the soil of Okute. The king of Okute who tried to escape when it downed on him that he was not going to be victorious was caught and forced on his knees infront of King Zakiza. He pleaded like a child, confessing his crimes as he pleaded. Shortly Lume was brought out from where she was kept by the men sent to abduct her by the King of Okute. In the arms of her lover King Lume cried bitterly. Her body was covered with insect bites and she looked hungry and sick. This annoyed Zakiza and he held the King of Okute by his balls. The King screamed and begged. Lume held Zakiza's hand and begged him to release the King's balls and Zakiza wondering why Lume of all people, who had suffered so much in the hands of the King would beg on his behalf let go of his balls and instructed that the King of Okute be bound and forced into one of the carts that they brought with them.

Zakiza stood there with the love of his life and they cuddled each other. 

"He will pay for what he did to you" Zakiza swore.

"I'm happy to see you again. You led a whole army to come for my rescue? Me a nobody...I love you so much my King" She then gave him a slobbery kiss and he returned the passion. They both forgot they were in the open and before a mighty army.

Dodo had been laid to waste and the dragon had had his fill of blood, now moving about the compound of the palace, putting fear in the hearts of the remaining soldiers who in their thousands were facing the ground in surrender. That night was the bloodiest of all the battles the King of Dodo and his men had ever fought. Akiza's mother was now focusing her gaze on the Prophetess of Dodo.

"Are you the Prophetess I have heard about?" Asked Akiza's mother. The Prophetess looked at her and called her by her name. "Samata, am I right? You have been able to do this because there was already a curse at work in the life of this King. He slept with me because he wasn't wise enough to eat the meat and throw away the bone. He instead ate the meat and thought it unharmful to eat the bones. Now the bones have chocked him in the throat he is in pains and in regret. I am the meat and I am also the bone. My beauty is for me and for the gods I run errands for and my strength and my supernatural powers were meant for the King and the protection of his land. He ate the meat which is the help that I provide him as his Watcher and his protector and also ate the bones which is the beauty of mine. He is paying for his inability to control his sexual desires, for how could I be able to be a Watcher of the night for Dodo if the King of Dodo has made me busy with him on his bed?. May his lack of control which has brought him to loss also bring him to his death" The Prophetess laid a curse on him and walked out. The Witch was now convinced that she was victorious. She moved closer to the King where he was knelt and whispered words of mockery.

Shortly after she stepped outside and met the soldiers of Dodo, all of them still facing the ground. The dragon was growling loudly. She called the soldiers up on their feet. 

"I take full charge of you, i take full responsibility of you if you will bow down and serve me" she hardly finished before the soldiers gave her a thunderous salute and went down on their knees before her.
