One day, a king was killed by his own son, far far away in a very peaceful small village surrounded by mountains, there was a very wise king who had two grown sons. The two sons was very obedient to their father, likewise the queen. When the king was getting old, it was time for him to choose who will be the heir to the throne, it was a very hard decision for him because the two sons were born on same day, they were twins, One of the sons was more loved by his father, which means that the king will definitely hand over the throne to the son he love before his death. So one fateful night while the king was far asleep, one of his son took a knife and sneaked into the kings room, he checked and realized that no one was watching, so he went closer to his father and stabbed his father with a knife, immediately the king open his eyes and saw that it was his own son who stabbed him’ “Ahhh, my son why did you do this, the king managed to speak while struggling with his life. “Am sorry father, I have to do this. I need the throne, the son replied. “Ahhhh, my son if the throne is yours, then let the gods grant it to you, but if the throne is not yours, then let the gods show you no mercy, the king said and died.this story is written by Raphael.Creative.Pen The son quickly took the knife and placed it silently on the hand of the queen who was also asleep, making it look like the queen was responsible for the evil act. The son sneaked out of the room without been noticed by any guards. The next morning, very early. As tradition demands, the guards went to wake the king like usual, but they met the king dead, and found a knife in the hands of the queen who was sleeping. “Oh no, they freeze. The king is dead, everyone!!! The king has been killed by the queen, the guards shouted. Soon everyone at the palace gathered at the king room to witness the incident, including the two sons of the king. “Please am innocent, I did not kill the king, I don’t have any idea how the knife got into my hands, the queen cried. Shut your mouth woman, the evidence is already in your hands, you killed my father, the first son said to his mother. No my son, I can never do such an evil thing your father, please trust me, the queen begged. The second son went closer to the queen and said, “Mom please tell me the truth, are you responsible for this? “Please look into my eyes, do you think I can hurt an ant, or even talk of killing a human being, the queen said. “Please everyone my mother is innocent, like how do you people think she can do such an act, she is innocent, the second son said politely. “And how do you know she is innocent, when she has a knife in her hands, the first son said to his brother. Justice for the king!! Justice for the king!!! The people began shouting, then a palace elder came and instructed everyone to stay quiet. “” as our tradition demands, who ever kills must be killed in revenge, so let the queen be buried alive, the elder said.

“who ever kills must be killed in revenge, so let the queen be buried alive, the elder said. “Yes we agree with you our elder, let the queen face the consequences of killing our innocent king!!’ the people shouted. Soon the queen was dragged out of the room, she was taken to the main palace. All the other villagers and village elders were informed and they all came immediately. The queen knelt down in the middle of all the people who gathered at the king’s residence, and they began judgment. One of the elders got up and began speaking, “my people the deed has been done and the evidence is clear, you all know our traditions, who kills the innocent must be punished to death, said the elder. Prince Jowah got up and began pleading with the elders, “please my elders don’t judge without proper investigations, at least let consult the chief priest at first, prince Jowah said. “There is nothing to consult. The evidence is here in the queen’s hand, the people shouted. “Eeehm my elders don’t you think the prince is right? At least let seek answers from the gods before doing anything, one elders said. “We don’t need answers from the gods when we already has the answer in our front, I know she is my mother but she will face the consequences of her crime, Prince Luran . The queen will be buried alive, we have no option than that, after we bury our beloved king the the queen will face her fate, said the elders. “Take her to the prison room where she will stay without food until the day she will be sentenced to death, an elder instructed. “Oh please my elders have mercy on me, I don’t have any hand in the king’s death, queen pleaded. “Shut your mouth woman!! Now take her to the prison room till the king is buried. The guards quickly started dragging the queen to the prison room like a slave’ “Please show some respect on her, she is still the queen, prince Jowah said with tears in his eyes. Take her away, she doesn’t deserve to be treated like a queen anymore because of her evil deed, prince Lurah said with anger. The guards dragged her mercilessly into the prison room, and pushed her into it like a slave. Prince Jowah cried bitterly like a woman, he never expected such thing to happen to his mother, “this is beyond my expectations he said silently. Soon burial arrangements were made for the king, and the king was buried peacefully. The queen who was lonely in the prison cried out her whole life, she was also very hungry. She haven’t eaten for days and she is already starving to death. One night she heard a footsteps near the prison, she look and saw that her son prince Jowah, “Mom I brought you food, please eat quickly so I will return the plates so no one will find out, Jowah said. “My son you don’t have to take this risk to bring me food. “Mom I can’t watch you starve while there is food wasting in the palace, and I pray the gods speak on your behalf. “Thank you my son, So the queen rushed the food and gave the plates back to the prince so no one wil suspect the act. The next day, the elder instructed the guards to bring out the queen for the death sentence. Soon all the villagers followed the queen as they dragged her to an abandoned land in the village to bury her alive. The two prince followed the crowd and other elders too. They took her to the place which was already prepared for her arrival, threw all her belongings into the pit and pushed her into the already dug grave. Prince Jowah stood with tears all over his face, please spare her life, he cried. Soon after some elders spoke, the guards began pouring stones and sands into the pit till it covered the queen completely. Raphael’s creative .

They threw the queen and her belongings into the hole they dug, the guards began pouring stones and sands into the pit till it covered the queen completely. Prince Jowah tried dragging with them to stop but they held him back, he cried like a kid till he got tired. Soon everyone began departing from the scene where the queen was buried, then suddenly a strange wind blew through the whole village. When they got back to the palace, prince Jowah quickly went into his room and locked himself without talking to anybody that night till the next day. When morning came, the elders gathered at the king palace to discuss about who will be the heir to the throne. An elder got up and began speaking, “my elders since the king is dead and have been buried peacefully, justice was also served. Now I think this is the right time to choose another king to continue ruling the kingdom peacefully, he said and sat down. “You have spoken well Mr Okosi, thanks to the gods that the king left us with two grown and strong sons who will continue after his death, but my question is who will be the king, another elder said and sat down. “Well my elders I suggest we call the villagers to choose from the two sons who will be their king, an elder responded. “My elders I think we should give them a test to see who is capable of ruling this great village, another elder suggested. “Eehm my good elders, this is a serious issue. We cannot just call the villagers to choose who will be their king, or set a test to see who is capable No!!. We need to consult the chief priest first, so we can know who the gods want to be the king, Mr okosi said. So all the elders agreed with what Mr okosi said by going to consult the chief priests on who to be the king, and the elders dismissed the meeting and they all went to their various homes. Note! This story is written by Raphael’s creative pen, any other person posting this is a thief. While Mr okosi was going home, he stopped at a point where no one was watching and waited patiently till prince lurah came to meet him there, and they started discussing’ “Mr okosi am sorry I kept you waiting, prince lurah said. “No problem my prince or should I say my king’. Well I did exactly as we planned, I convinced all the elders, and they all agreed that we should consult the chief, now the next thing is to go and see the chief priest with the bribe immediately, Mr okosi said with evil smile. “Mr okosi you are truly a wise man, let go to bribe the chief priest immediately, I can see my self sitting on that throne already, and if it happens you will be my assistant and I will give you many lands and put you in charge of everything in this village, prince lurah said. “I really want that my prince, don’t worry our plan will work and the throne will be all yours without stress, Mr okosi replied. So they both went together to the house of the chief priest and they explained everything to the priest, they also offered him two goats and a large some of money. Without wasting time the priest accepted the offer and told them not to worry, he knows how to handle the situation. “Consider yourself the king, the chief priest said and told them to go home. Prince lurah and Mr okosi left the house of the chief priest happily and went back to the palace. My prince don’t worry at all, tomorrow the chief priest will be here to pronounce you as the new king in front of all the villagers, I will tell the town crier to announce to all the villagers, so everyone will be gathered here by tomorrow, Mr okosi said and went to his house. The next day, everyone gathered at the palace to witness the choosing of the new king, soon the chief priest walk into the palace and began speaking incantations, then he instructed the two prince to come forward before him So prince Jowah and prince Lurah went forward and stand in the front of the chief priest, the priest threw some stones on the floor and said some strange things, “Hmmm my elders and great people of odomodo kingdom, the gods have spoken, the gods has chosen prince Lurah to be the new king of this great kingdom, the priest said. Immediately everyone started clapping and singing to his name, “long live the king “ they say. Prince Jowah wasn’t bothered about the throne, he was only feeling sad about his late mom who was eliminated for no reason. The chief priest took the royal beads and put them on prince Lurah, he then took the royal crown and put it on the head of prince Lurah, and immediately everyone bowed down and called him king. Drinks were served and people ate and drank till the got filled, they all went home. After everyone left, Mr okosi went back to the palace to discuss their successful plan with the new king. “Ehhm my king, you can see our plan worked as planned. I hope you will fulfill your promise, Mr okosi asked “Don’t worry Mr okosi, you are truly a wise friend, I will surely return the favor since am now the king, just come back tomorrow, the king said. Prince Jowah who was sad and couldn’t bear the pain, arranged his belongings and left the village that night to a neighboring village to stay there for a while. His mom is dead and his dad is also dead, so he had no choice than to leave the village, but before he left; he pleaded with the gods for vengeance against the people who took the life of his parents.

After prince Jowah left the Village, a strange wind blew through the who town and immediately the Queen’s ghosts raised from the grave and stood, the ghost walk through the village and vanished into the air. King lurch was happy and still celebrating his victory. The next day the elders gathered at the king palace for meeting as usual. King lurah stood up and started addressing the elders’ “My good elders, i want to say a special thanks to you all for choosing me as your knew king, I promised to serve the village peacefully, the lurah said. “Ehm my king you have spoken well, and may your ancestors be with you in your new journey, an elder said and sat down. “Thanks and I want to announce that I am putting Mr okosi as my new assistant, he will also be in charge of everything going on in this village, the king said. Immediately all the elders began clapping and congratulating Mr okosi for his new position. “My king you will live long, I don’t know what I have done to deserve this kind of position, I really appreciate this my king, Mr okosi said ‘pretending.note this story is written by “Raphael’s creative pen” I do not permit anyone to post it. Anyone posting this story is a criminal and can be punished for that. As the discussion was going on suddenly two villages ran to the palace and knelt down in front of the king breathing heavily “My king!! My king!! You will live long! We went to the river to fetch some water but the river turned into blood completely, the villagers said. “Abomination!! Are you sure about this, an elder asked. “Yes we saw it clearly. “This cannot be true, women are you sure you saw the right thing, the king asked “Yes your highness “Take me to the river, I want to see this with my own eyes. Abomination!!! The king shouted. Soon three guards followed king with some other elders and they went to the river to see clearly. When the arrived the river was completely changed to blood just exactly like the villagers have said. This is not right! What do we do now! what do we do now? The king shouted. “My king I think we should inform the chief priest first, Mr okosi said. “That a nice idea Mr okosi, I will do that immediately, the king said. So the king instructed two of his guards to go and inform the chief priest about the incident. The two guards left immediately as instructed. While the guards were on their way to the chief priest, the ghost of the queen appeared at their front with a angry face, the guards became afraid and started running, but the ghost quickly fired them and they died immediately. The king and his companions was still waiting for the arrival of the guards but the guards was no longer coming back. “What is keeping the guards so long, the king asked. They should have been back by now, another elder said. The king sent two more guards to go and find out what is keeping the other guards, so the guards went immediately. While they were going, they saw the body of the other guards lying dead on floor, they were shocked and wanted to run back but the queen appeared and struck them too and they felled and died. The anxious king was becoming more concerned as the four guards have not returned. Immediately a villager ran to the king and knelt down “My king I saw four of your guards lying dead on floor with their heads cut off, the villager said. Oh my ancestors! What is going on? What is going on, Mr okosi shouted. Four of my guards dead with their heads cut off, are you sure.The king asked. “Yes my king am sure, I saw them while returning from the farm. Take me there I want to see if this is true, the king instructed. So the villager took the king to the spot were the guards were lying dead, and the king brought their corpse home for burial. My elders, we just got a message that our rivers turned into blood and now four of my guardians were killed without any trace, what is happening the king asked.

Our rivers turned into blood, and now four of my guardians were killed without any trace. What is happening? What is happening? I am confused, the anxious King asked. "Ehm, my king, you have to calm down; there must surely be a reason for this, an elder said. “If there is a reason, then how do we find out? We have tried to reach the chief priest, but our guards ended up in pain, the king said. “But my king, what exactly is happening? Is the gods angry with us? If yes, then what is our offence? Another elder asked, confused. “Shut your mouth and listen; the gods are not angry with us. If you don’t have anything reasonable to say, just keep quiet. Mr. Okosi was fired. “I'm sorry, Mr. Okosi. I was just adding a suggestion I felt was correct, but think of it: our rivers were in blood and four of our men died on the same day. Only this ancestor can do this, the elder explained in the in the future. “Like I said, just shut your mouth if you don’t have anything reasonable to say, said Mr. Okosi. Well, Mr. Okosi’s wife and his children were busy working on their farm that day, but suddenly the Queen appeared and struck a palm tree in their farm. The palm tree fell immediately on the son of Mr. Okosi.note this story is written by Raphael’s creative pen, do not copy without tagging the original writer. Suddenly, Mr. Okosi’s wife ran to the palace with tears all over her face, breathing heavily at the same time. "Woman, what is the problem? Why are you running and crying at the same time? Mr. Okosi asked his wife. “My husband, the worst has happened! I'm totally finished, Mr. Okosi’s wife added. “Talk to me, my wife, what is the problem? Why are you crying? Mr. Okosi asked anxiously. “My husband I went to the farm with the children, and suddenly the palm tree on our land fell and landed on your only son. “Abormination !!! Chai chai chai, all the elders shouted. "Woman, are you sure about this? the king asked. "Yes, your royal highness, she answered with tears. This is unbelievable. How did that palm tree fall? That tree was planted by my forefathers for many years without falling; how can it decide to fall today? I need to go and see my son immediately, Mr. Okosi said to the king. Mr. Okosi quickly ran out of the palace with his wife and headed back home straight. When he arrived, he saw his son lying on the ground in so much pain that he was shaking and struggling to breathe. "No, don’t do this!! Please stay with me, my son; you are my only son. Please, Mr. Okosi shouted. But soon the son starts vomiting blood from his mouth, struggling with his life till death comes, and he gives up and dies. Mr Okosi’s wife started crying and rolling her self on the ground, “everyone please come and help me, my only son is dead, Mr Okosi’s wife shouted helplessly. Okosi stood with folded hands, asking, “Ancestors, why have you forsaken me? He shakes his head twice and walks out of his compound sadly. Okosi went back to the palace and delivered the sad news to the king and his companions. “The worst has happened, my king; my son didn’t survive the accident; he died, Mr. Okosi said sadly. "Oh, such sad news. I am sorry, my true friend, for your loss, the king answered. “In just a day, five people died a miserable death in our village. Something is wrong somewhere, an elder said. My elders I think it is high time we go and see the chief priest by ourselves. This issue is getting serious. The king said. So the king, the elders, and some palace guards went to meet the chief priest at his residence. But to their surprise, they met the dead queen sitting at the shrine and the chief priest dead with his head cut off at his shrine. Immediately everyone scattered and started running and shouting; the guards were running on their own, and the king was running like a cheater. All the elders scattered into the bush. The queen was busy making them more uncomfortable; she would appear in front of an elder, and the elder would turn in another direction and start running again. Some elders ran till they passed their own houses out of fear. The king ran till he ran out of the entire village. The guards dropped their weapons and scattered into the streets like animals. It was not an easy day for all of them.

The king ran till he ran out of the entire village. The guards dropped their weapons and scattered into the streets like animals. It was not an easy day for all of them. The king didn’t stop running until he left the entrance of his village and landed in another village. He quickly put his crown back on his head, dusted his legs, and behaved like nothing was happening. People who were passing wondered why a king would walk alone without his guards. "Greetings, your highness, the people greeted and bowed down to him. "Greetings, good people of the Nabokov kingdom. My name is King Lurah, and I am looking for a childhood friend of mine called Jaha, the king said. "Oh, Jaha, yes, we know him. He is from this village; do you want me to take you to his house? One of the people asked. "Yes, please, the anxious king answered. So the king followed the villager. "Here is the third tree; just go by your right side, and you will find Jaha’s house, the villager said, going back. So King Lurah went exactly and truly, and he found Jaha, his friend, sitting outside his compound. "Jaha, my very true friend!!! The king shouted from afar. Note this story is written by Raphael’s creative pen. Search “Raphael’s Creative Pen” on Facebook for more. “Great King Lurah, what brought you to my house today? It has been a long time since I saw you, and I heard you are now a king, Jaha said. “Oh yes, my friend, I am now a king, but there’s fire on the mountain, Lurah said. “Haha, stop playing, Mr. King. You are a king and you can’t have any other problems; you have food, a house, money, and you can get any woman you want at anytime. You have powers, Mr. King, Jaha said. "Jaha, you won’t understand. There is a big fire on the mountain. I have messed up my life, and I need to fix it immediately. “My king, I don’t understand. Please, what is this fire you are talking about? Jaha asked. King Lurah explained everything to Jaha, both from the beginning and the present moment. "Ahhh, Lurah, you were too fast, so you have the mind to kill, and you don’t even know that there is surely a consequence for that? Jaha I thought my parents would forgive me; I never knew that my mother would hunt me again, Lurah said. All because of a throne, you killed your parents; that was a strong decision. If you can kill, it also means you should know how to escape, Jaha said. "Please, Jaha, don’t make fun of me; I need help, and that is the most important thing. “Well Lurah I remember when we were kids, you always gave me food and new clothes because my parents were poor but yours were rich. So because of that, I will help you, Jaha said. “Thank you, my friend, so tell me what we do now, King Lurah asked. "Well, you have two options to choose between: either you confess to your village or you continue as their king. "Please, I cannot confess; the village will not forgive me; they will bury me alive too, King said afraidly. “Then you have to continue as their king, Jaha said. "Yes, I like that, but how can I continue when my mother’s ghost is not letting me rest? “Don’t worry, Mr. King, I know what to do about that. There is a herbalist in this village that can help you with this problem, Jaha said. “Really, please, how do we go about that? I need to act as fast as possible, said the king. “Since the day is still young, then let us visit the great herbalist; he will definitely help you. So Jaha and the king went far into the forest in search of the great herbalist, and in no time they arrived at the shrine. Immediately the herbalist saw them he began to laugh at them, haha haha haha haha. “I know what brought you two here, the herbalist said. “Thank you, great one. Please, as you can see, we need your help, Jaha said. “You killed your father and framed your mother for the crime, and she got buried alive by the villagers, and now her spirit is after you, said the herbalist. “Yeah, great one; please help me, Lurah said sadly. Don’t worry, boy, you are standing on the ground of wonders, but are you ready for this? the herbalist asked. “Yes, King Lurah nodded without wasting time, “This is going to take you seven days; I will cook you in a pot, and from that day on, no demon or spirit can take your soul or make you scared ever again, the herbalist said. Do you think their pan will work?

I will cook you in a pot, and from that day on, no demon or spirit can take your soul or make you scared ever again, the herbalist said. Immediately the king became afraid. “What the hell are you saying? You want to cook me in a pot for seven days? He asked. "Please, my friend, you must listen to the herbalist; that is the only way you can be safe. Jaha said “I do not need people with a scared mind in my shrine; you should be prepared before stepping into my shrine, the herbalist said with anger. “I am sorry, great one; he is just afraid of death; I am sure he can do it, Jaha said. “The one who can kill should not be afraid of death. Are you ready for the rituals? The herbalist asked. “Ye… ye… ye, the king answered with great fear. Soon the herbalist brought out a strange pot from nowhere. He placed it on a very hot fire prepared by him. He then poured a large amount of water into the pot and poured another strange mixture into the pot. “Now you must walk into this pot, the herbalist instructed. The king was afraid of going at first, but Jaha told him not to fear, so the king walked slowly into the pot full of water. At first, the water pot was cold, but after a few minutes, the water began boiling, and King Lurah began shouting out for help. Instead, the herbalist covered the big pot and told Jaha to go and come after 7 days, so Jaha left. So Jaha waited patiently for the seven days to come. So after the seven days, Jaha went back to meet the herbalist at his shrine and found out that the pot was still boiling. This story is written by “Raphael’s Creative Pen, do not copy. Please, great one. It has been seven days now. I hope my friend is still alive, Jaha asked. Fear not. The herbalist said and went close to the big pot. He opened the pot, and all the water dried out of it. The king was sitting there in the pot like a dead man. The herbalist dragged the king out of the big pot and laid him on the floor. Jaha was afraid because the king was not breathing properly. Then the herbalist took a strange object and began saying some strange words, and he used the object to touch the king on his head. Then immediately, the king started shaking his hands. After some minutes, the king opened his eyes and stood up like nothing had happened to him. “From today on, you are fortified with a great power; no man born of a woman or even a spiritual being can destroy you anymore, the herbalist said. “Thank you, great one; I know you will never fail me, Jaha said. “Please tell me, great one, does it mean that my mother’s ghost will never hunt me again? The king asked. “She will still hunt you, but she cannot hurt you. Whenever she comes, just command her to go back and never return, and she will obey your command because you have greater powers than her ghost, the herbalist said. “Thank you, great one. Please, what do I pay for this? the king asked. “Go home and come back with your gift after seven days, the herbalist instructed. So Jaha and the king left the shrine and went straight to Jaha’s house. "Jaha, I want to thank you for the help. I knew I was going to get solutions when I came to you. “No need for that, my friend; we have been friends all the way from childhood. And you have also been of help to me; I should be the one thanking you. Jaha said. No problem, my friend. I think I will pass the night in your house. I will begin my journey back home tomorrow immediately. My people must be waiting for me, the king said. So the king slept in Jaha's house; very early the next day, he moved and began finding his way home. While he was going, the queen immediately appeared right in front of him with great anger. Immediately, the king got afraid; he shifted back and positioned himself for defence. “Why are you running from your sins? No one kills and goes free, the queen asked. The king remembered what the herbalist told him to do when the ghosts approached him again, and immediately he began speaking. “I will fear you no more; you are a dead person, and the dead have nothing to do with the living, the king fired back at the queen. "Haha, then today shall be your last day on earth; I will spare your life no more; you will reap what you sowed today, the queen said with anger. Then she threw something like fire from her eyes at the king. The fire went straight to the king, but it didn’t affect the king at all. The queen was shocked to see that her powers could not affect the king. “Haha haha haha, I am fully prepared for you; I shall run no more, the king said with laughter. “Your powers can only save you now, but you will surely pay for your sins, the queen said, throwing another strong fire at the king, but it still didn’t affect the king. “Haha now, woman!! Go back to where you came from and never return, the king commanded, and immediately the queen vanished into the air. The king was amazed by his powers. “Wow, I can now control the ghost. Let's see how she comes to hunt me again. Now I can rule the kingdom forever and never be afraid again, the king said.

“Wow, I can now control the ghost. Let's see how she comes to hunt me again. Now I can rule the kingdom forever and never be afraid again, the king said. Then he continued his journey back, and after working for some hours, he finally entered his village. “What are the villagers going to say? How are I even sure they are not aware of my secrets? the king said to himself. Even with that thought, he moved into the village with great fear, but he was shocked to see that the villagers were bowing down to him as he walked through the street. “Wow, does it mean that the villagers did not suspect him of anything? He asked himself. He walked till he arrived at the palace; the palace was well assembled and clean, and all the elders were also gathered. “Long live the king, the elders shouted as they welcomed the king. The king was surprised by the way everything was going smoothly, like nothing else had happened. Ehm, my king, what happened the last time was a serious one, an elder said. The king walked gently and sat down on the throne. “Yes, my elders, I understand that what happened last time was a serious thing, but it has been taken care of. I think the queen is angry, but she cannot do anything now, the king said. “My king, you will live long, but I don’t understand what you mean by it having been taken care of. A lot of evil things have happened at your back; even Mr. Marcus, our friend, is dead, an elder said to the king. “My king and two of my children died in the in the last two days; their deaths have no trace. All our crops are dying also, my king. I don’t think the queen is happy, another elder said. “I am so sorry for what everyone is passing through, but I assure you all that the queen ghost will never torment us ever again, the king said. Immediately, two villagers ran to the king and bowed their heads. “My king, our rivers are back; the rivers are now flowing again, and it is not blood anymore, the villagers said. "Wow, this is good news, the king said with great relief. Note: This story was written by Raphael’s Creative Pen; do not copy. Another set of villagers ran to the palace with great joy. “Our king, we are happy to say that our crops are not dying anymore, and everyone is happy now, the villagers said. “My elders, you can see that everything is going well in our village now. I told you all that I have taken care of our problem. The queen is just angry because we punished her for her crime; she cannot do us any harm anymore, the king said. “My king, we, the elders, are so happy for the actions you have taken to save our land; you will love it long, Mr. Okosi said. “This calls for celebration; call everyone to come and celebrate our victory, the king said. Well, the queen was roaming around the village. She tried to penetrate the village, but she couldn’t because King Lurah had chased her ghost out of the village with his powers. Now the queen cannot come into the village, which means she cannot take her revenge against the king, but suddenly she remembered her son Jowah. “Yes, Jowah is the solution, she said to herself. Jowah was staying with his friend in a neighbouring village. He had heard a lot of things going on in his village, but he knew that God was the one taking revenge for the deaths of his mom and dad. "Jowah, my friend, don’t you think it's high time you go back to your village? You can’t stay like this forever, Jowah’s friend said. "Yes, but I am not ready to go back yet. Let me just stay here peacefully for some time, Jowah replied. "Ok, my friend, let go and get some firewood; we need that to prepare food, he said. So the both of them left and went into the bush to get some firewood. While they were fetching the firewood, the queen’s ghosts appeared to Jowah, and immediately he got afraid. “Do not be afraid, my son; it is time for you to go back, the queen said. “But mom, why is the ancestor silent about your death? I have a feeling that your killer is still alive, Jowah said. Yes, my son, your brother, and his friend, Mr. Okosi, are the reasons behind our deaths, the queen said. “But mother, you are a ghost now, which means you can take revenge yourself, Jowah said. "Yes, but your brother has empowered himself so much that he is more powerful than me, the queen said. “How can he be more powerful than you? He is a human, and you are a ghost, Jowah said. “He is more powerful than me for now, but that is the reason you need to go home and end all this, the queen said. “How? I don’t have powers, Jowah said. “Don’t worry, my son; you don’t need powers to fight your brother, because I will be the one to do that. Your brother has stopped my ghost from coming into the village, but you can help me get into the village, and you need courage to do that. The queen said.

“Your brother has stopped my ghost from coming into the village, but you can help me get into the village, and you need courage to do that. The queen said. "Ok, mother, please tell me what exactly I do, Prince Jowah replied. “You have to go back home; here is the plan. Your brother the king will be getting married in the next four days, and as tradition demands, his wife must pass the wine to you to taste before passing it to her husband. "Ok, mother, so how does that end our problem? Jowah asked. “Here are three seeds; these are very powerful seeds, even more powerful than your brother. When the wine is passed to you, I want you to put one of these seeds into the cup of wine, the Queen said, and she then gave Jowah the strange seeds. “What!! Are you joking about this? How do you expect me to drop a seed into the royal cup during the royal marriage? Jowah asked. My son, do not be afraid; just be cautious and believe you can do this. So shall it be, after putting one of these seeds into the wine, immediately your brother takes the wine, his power will bow down to my power, and from there I shall come and show them my wrath, the Queen said. "Ok, mother, but tell me, why did you give me three seeds instead of one, or are the seeds different from others? Jowah asked. “The seeds have no difference; I just gave you three so you won’t misplace them all when you get to the village. Please do your best and put the seed in the royal cup when you have the opportunity, and the opportunity is that your brother will be getting married in the next four days. said the queen, and she vanished into the air. Note this story is written by Raphael’s Creative pen. "Jowah, what is the problem, and who are you speaking with? Jonah’s friend asked. “My mother wants me to go back to the village and face my brother. Jowah said. “Going back to the village to face your brother—wow, that sounds interesting, but why? "Yes, my brother and his friend are the people behind the deaths of my father and mother, so she is here for justice. “I knew it! I knew your brother couldn’t be trusted because everything was happening so fast. Jowah, you need to do whatever your mother is telling you, Jowah friends said. "Yes, I will be leaving first thing tomorrow morning. I pray it works. "Jowah, please don’t take it too hard on yourself; relax your mind and watch your step; and please tell me if I can help you anyway, Jowah’s friend said. “Don’t bother yourself, my friend; I will surely do my best, Jowah said, and they went back home. So very early the next morning, Jowah began his journey back to his own village. After a long walk, he arrived at his village. When he got to the palace, he saw some elders and his brother, the king. He knew what his mission was, so he acted nicely without being noticed. “Long time, my dear brother. I heard about your plan of getting married in the next three days, so I decided to come back home and do my part in the marriage. You know I can’t miss my eldest brother’s marriage, Jowah said, bowing down to his brother. What an unexpected surprise! You are welcome, my brother; have your seat, King Lurah said. “You are welcome, our prince; we have long been waiting for you; you left without informing us, one of the elders said. So the day for the king’s marriage came like magic; after all the preparations were made, the ceremony began. All the villagers were gathered at the palace to celebrate together with their king. Some visitors came from other villages to celebrate with the king as well. Even Jaha, the king’s childhood friend, was there, along with some other of his friends. Prince Jowah was sitting right next to the king as the ceremony kicked off. Some maidens from the village came to perform their dance together with the bride. The drummers were also there, beating their drums with much joy. Then it was time for the traditional ritual to begin. The bride was given a cup of wine and was instructed to give it to the prince, Jowah, and then Jowah would pass the wine to his brother, the king. Jowah knew that this was the only opportunity for him to put the strange seed into the wine. He removed the three seeds from his pocket and covered them in his hand. Soon the bride walked gently to Jowah’s front and presented the wine to Jowah. He collected the cup of wine from the bride. But all eyes were on him; he was afraid. “How can I put this seed into this wine when everyone is watching me? he asked himself. He raised his hand up towards the cup, but unfortunately, he got noticed by someone. "Look, everyone, Jowah is trying to poison the wine, Jaha, the king’s childhood friend, shouted. Soon everyone was shocked and turned to Jowah. Jowah quickly covered his hands. "No, no, please, I will never do such a thing to my brother, Jowah said with fear. The king got angry and collected the wine from his brother’s hand. “So you came all the way down here to poison me? the king asked. No, my brother, I can’t do such a thing to you. Jowah said. He is lying. Open your hands and see if you are truly innocent, Jaha said. Soon the palace guards came and forced him to open his hands, and suddenly they found some seeds in his hands. “I told you all he was lying; he was about to put the seeds into the cup, but before I intruded, Jaha said. “Great people of this village, you can see with your eyes that my own brother was trying to kill me just like our Queen did to my father. Whoever tries to kill will be killed, so Jowah will be hanged to death, the king said. Mr. Okosi got up and began speaking. My king, you are right; Jowah should be hanged to death for trying to poison the king. “Since he didn’t poison wine, I think we should go on with the tradition and rituals; we can’t pause the marriage because of Jowah’s wickedness, an elder said. So the king drank from the same cup of wine, and the marriage continued. The palace guards dragged Jowah to the prison room, where he would stay till the ceremony was finished. But Jowah was surprised about something. The Queen gave him three seeds, but when the guards opened his hands, they found only two seeds, so where is the third seed? So fans where is the third seed?

But Jowah was surprised about something. The Queen gave him three seeds, but when the guards opened his hands, they found only two seeds, so where is the third seed? Jowah stayed in the prison crying like a kid. “I can’t imagine my been hanged to death, no I don’t want to die, he said sadly Anyway the marriage didn’t stop. It continues from where it was intruded, and it ended successfully. The next day the elders gathered again at the king palace, discussing if Jowah should be spared or should be punished. “An elder got up and began speaking, “please my elders, Jowah is still our son, we cannot just end him like that all because we found some seeds in his hands, said the elder. “But my king I think Mr baron is right, we cannot just hanged our prince like that, at least let punish him in a different way if punishment is compulsory in this matter, another elder said. Mr Okosi was not happy with what the two elders said, he has been looking for a way to kill prince Jowah so he can become the next heir to the throne after king Lurah. “The both of you should remain silent if you don’t have any reasonable suggestion to make, the prince has done an evil thing and he needs to be punished, to show example to the rest of the people living in this village, Mr Okosi said. “Yea am with you Mr Okosi! The prince is a very wicked prince, who wants to kill his own brother, let him be hanged for others to learn, Jaha, the king’s friend said. “Well my elders even if the prince is wrong I think we should punish him not to kill him, but if you all insist of hanging him then I think I should be on my way home, my hands are clean, the elders said and left the palace. “Enough!!! Enough of all this nonsense, if you know you are here and you are not in support of us, then stand up and go just like the other person did, the king said with anger. note! This story is written by Raphael’s Creative Pen. Soon the elders began going one after the other till it remained only Jaha, Mr Okosi and another elder in the palace with the king and his wife. “My king don’t mind them, allow them to go, they are claiming to be innocent people but they are also wicked people, Mr Okosi said. My brother will surely pay for trying to poison me, no one in this planet dares the great king and go free, the one who touches the tail of the lion will face his wrath, king Lurah said. Guards go and bring the prince, it is time for him to face the music he played, the king instructed. So the guards went to the prison and dragged the prince out like a slave, “please don’t do this to me please spare my life, the prince begged. But the guards dragged him to the palace and pushed him to the king’s front. “Please brother forgive me for my sins, Jowah said sadly. “Go and plead with the ancestors for forgiveness, you have played the music and you will dance to the beat, hang him!!!! the king shouted. The guards dragged away into the bush. The king, his friend and Mr Okosi followed them at the back. The guards took a strong rope and tied the prince at his hand and legs, they prepared another rope around a tree to hang him. “Jowah knew he was surely going to die. “So my mother deceived me, he said silently. Suddenly a heavy wind hit the area uprooting so many trees, destroying so many houses and lives. Killing so many people in the village. The king was standing firm to the ground like a rock, he believed in his power and with that nothing can happen to him, But the wind threw Mr Okosi from the ground and landed him on a tree that bossed out from his stomach and he died immediately. Jaha was also a powerful person, he stood firm to the ground like a rock, but the wind blew the other elder to pieces and he died immediately. The guards who was standing with the prince started running for their lives but the trees fell on them and they died completely. All the villagers was running up and down like crazy people, some ran into death and others continued running for their life. But Jaha and the king stood firm and nothing happened to them until the wind stopped. Immediately after the wind stopped, the king and his friend Jaja ran back to the palace. They realized that the new queen was laying dead in the palace, “this is the hand work of my mother, the king said. Then let her come we are waiting for her, Jaha and the king said and set themselves prepared for the Queen. Soon the Queen appeared with flaming eyes and body, with the prince Jowah walking right in her front, she was ready for war. So fans, the battle line is drawn. The Queen has successfully entered the village witch means the third seed fell into the cup. The king has powers in him but the seed has made the power more weak than the queen, drop a good comment on this.
