Chapter 17(The Ancient ruler)
-Footsteps running in the bush-
(Panting).....
Search the woods they can't be far from here,get them at all cost and bring them here to me.
Hunters!!! Search the woods.
(The ferocious hunters all ran into the woods like hungry lions after it's prey)
-Swoosh....an arrow flew by hitting a tree trunk....Haha!!! I'm going to get you first,one of the hunters squeaked.
(Panting heavily)....
Why don't you come out to see me play? It's not hygenic to lay low in the dirts of the fields,you could become sick.......another Hunter taunted.
"Many footsteps heard running through the forest" keep searching,we must find them for the victory of our land. There is a great reward for you from the king....keep searching,the village Hunter leader jeered on.
In low voice...... Stay low,they are closing on us...we must get out of here alive.
I'm scared!!! I can't breathe again.
No no no.....you have to keep being strong,you can't give up.
Phum! Phum! Phum!!!....the hunters horn blew across the forest and could be heard miles away.
They got up and kept running as fast as they could after hearing the sound of the hunters whistle.
One could tell that these hunters are drenched with evil as they ran through cutting down anything that will serve as obstacles in their part...everyone of them trying so hard to be the first to getting the bounty.
Arrows flying around in the forest as though it were just wind,they kept running with all might.....everyone with his intentions known to him alone.
One of the hunters stumbled and fell into a muddy ground....he tried standing up but something caught his gaze;it was the footprint of those they were looking for.
Immediately he got up and followed the prints. Another Hunter saw him deviating from the road and asked where he was going....he replied
"I am going to take a pee"!!!
The other confused thought to himself why it was that urgent to try take a pee knowing what is at stake but anyways continued in his own direction.
These Hunter began to ran so fast following the footprint he saw in the muddy area of the forest.
Suddenly he couldn't find footprint in the mud again,he then knew they were close by. He quietly climbed the steepy hill....searched the forest a few miles more and saw a small carving in the tree ahead of him,he paced towards it...on his light and found them sitting in it.
Haha....I got you!!! He exclaimed in excitement.
He took out his horn and blew it loud to announce that he had found the culprits. The hunting search then stopped.
The others came to the direction of the horn and found the culprits tied in both hands and legs.
Villagers jubilating....
Dancing around a bonfire in circles... merriment in the air as they drink and perform traditional dances.
In the far corner of the arena was seen a boy who is wounded and the mother attending to the wounds,while the father is seen shouting at a drunk man peeing at the back of their tents.
Hookah.... Eyaa... Arrghh, the voice of warriors practicing in the arena.
All this excitement in the air.... Gbam... Gbam... Gbam... A bell rang.
Everyone was seen running towards a high tower in the centre of the village both young and old, warriors and maids...everyone was to go to the square.
"All hail the King" .... Said the King's staff bearer.
"All hail the King" .... The villagers said with a bow to the ground.
The king dressed in fur with a skull of a dead tigers on his head as his helmet, came forth out of the carriage the servants bought him with and he sat on the throne facing the Giant tower.
I am sorry to have disturbed the moment in the air, but I wish to inform you that the god of our lands have been so gracious to us that our efforts has been crowned with a beautiful gift we have been wanting to have in our possession.
The villagers shouted in delight... (Hoo.. hoo.. hoo).
The gods of our lands have granted us something to feast on and yes our land will once again bloom and flourish...enough of the dryness and curse that has been upon the land for too long "I king Ching chang pinyin" I've gotten the favour of the gods and have brought the culprits who have cursed the land before you today as prisoners to do as you wish with them .
(The villages all cheered again)...
Bring out the prisoners!!! The king ordered.
A huge metal door was opened and two prisoners were brought out.
~~Please your Highness, have mercy....Said one of the prisoners.
Mercy you asking? have you chosen to have mercy on our land? You came into this land looking for Greener pasture instead you brought bad luck into this land and yet we haven't been able to identify you all this while but all glory to our priest who consulted the gods and was able to identify you and your friend who are the evil souls in the land.
"What will you have me do to this idiots?".... the king asked.
"Kill them... Kill them... Kill them..."
Do you all want to taste blood? Yessss!!! They all chorused...
Lead them to the slaughter altar and let their blood be given to the gods for remission of our sins and their bodies given to the beast.
Hoo.. yah.... Hoo.. hoo.. hoo.. they all chorused again.
Who is the greatest of all kings?
It is you your Highness.... the villagers all chorused with a bow to the ground.
I am going to...(the king was cut short by the sound of the bell once again).
The villagers and the King all waited in suspense to see what the news is all about again..
A young Hunter ran forward to the King's body guard and whispered into his ears.... in turn the bodyguard spoke into the king ears and the kings eyes brightened with the news.
The king shrilled and said to the people.
"We have been favoured by the gods again.
