“War is coming”.
“What do you mean war is coming Heart?” I asked Alani.
She went on to tell me all she saw, amidst sobs.
“Heart it’s just a dream! A nightmare!” I said.
“No it’s not!” A voice said as bright light flooded the room.
I whipped my head around. Before me stood our Kingdom’s seer.
“Wise Molad!” I exclaimed.
“A pleasure to see you again!” Alani said and I looked at her.
“You’ve met? But it’s been 17 years since she was last seen”. I said in confusion.
“While I was in labor, she came to my aid!” Alani replied.
“This isn’t time for pleasantries. War is coming and you may lose your throne!” Wise Molad said.
“What do we do wise one?” I asked.
“You both have two different tasks. Tonight, you my King will journey to the Balama mountains, to the tomb of
King Aldrich, the first King of Getura. Therein lies his sword. Blessed by the guardians of death and life itself. A
sword that can kill both the living and the dead”. She said.
“Why would I need a sword that can kill the dead?” I asked in confusion.
“Time will tell. It will take you three days to and fro!” She said.
“What about Alani?” I asked.
“That is not for me to say”. She replied and disappeared in the same flash of white light.
Alani just sat there, staring into the empty space.
“Heart?” I called but she didn’t answer.
“Heart?” I called again.
She bolted upright, scaring me. What is wrong with her.
“Heart is anything the matter? I’m leaving soon. Talk to me”. I said.
“Where is the golden chest?” She asked suddenly.
“There are two golden chests”. I replied.
“The Queen’s chest, where is it?” She asked and turned to face me.
I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me she wasn’t herself.
“Bring me the Queen’s chest!” She said.
I climbed down of the bed, crept under it and pressed the huge stone underneath.
A secret passage opened in the wall. Alani gasped.
I walked in, rounded the sharp corner and reached the room I was looking for.
Behind the doors of this room, lies gold, silver diamonds and different treasures I discovered as a child.
I opened the door and put on a lamp. In the middle lay the two golden chests. I had relocated them from the vault, here.
I picked the Queen’s chest and securely locked the room before leaving the passage.
I handed the chest to Alani and pushed the huge stone again, the walls slammed shut and went back to normal.
“I need to complete my task”. I said to her. She nodded.
I slipped into normal pants, took a cloak. She slipped into her training gear and left with the golden chest.
Curiosity got the best of me. I closed the chamber doors.
“If anyone comes looking for the King or Queen, tell them we are not in”. I said to one of the guards.
“You, get Haila to look after the children or you get Queen mother Selena”. I said to another guard.
I followed Alani and realized she was going to the royal workshop where weapons were made.
I shrugged it off, left the palace and went to Sefan. I didn’t tell him the details. I only asked him to train the
warriors extra hard.
Then, I took a normal horse from the royal stables and set off into the night.

It was nightfall and I had arrived in Argust Kingdom with the army of the dead.
They obeyed all my command. I picked Joan to be the captain of the army.
I had learnt that Alani had someone protecting her, her cousin.
I didn’t bother about him because Joan will take care of that.
“The army is waiting for you outside”. Arlene said to me and I nodded.
She will take care of that sneaky Molad, Joan will take care of Sefan and I will take care of Alani and Nalan. My
army of course will take care of theirs.
The King of Argust didn’t dare question my judgment because of fear.
“Tonight, we will journey to the Kingdom of Getura. They are not expecting us so it will be a silent siege. I will
fortify you all that you will not feel pain”. I addressed the warriors of Argust.
They were about a thousand in number. Getura had twice as this but with my army of the dead in support, they
will not stand a chance.
“Pass this bowl and dagger around. Each person should slice his palm and let their blood drip in”. I added.
Soon, the bowl had been passed to everyone. It was full with their blood.
I took it from them, lifted it to the sky and began chanting a spell.
When I was done, I dropped the bowl. I walked up to one of the warriors, took out his sword and plunged it into
his stomach. He did not flinch or wince in pain.
King Arsus watched wide eye while Arlene and I chuckled evilly.
“Tonight, we ride into battle. In three days time, we will arrive in Getura!” I exclaimed and the crowd erupted into a war cry.
I’m coming for you my dear throne.

I couldn’t feel myself. It was like someone else had possessed me.
When I got to the workshop, I set to work. Or rather, whatever was possessing me set to work.
I got a dagger and plucked out the diamonds and gems.
I then melt the gold, took out a wood, crafted in the shape of a spear.
I didn’t even count the time that passed. All I know is that I was hammering, melting and working.
***3 days later***

The horse galloped to a stop in front of the palace. The sword of Aldrich was wrapped in a cloth.
I stepped down from the horse and a guard came forward to take it to the stables.
“Welcome your Majesty. Queen mother Selena has been asking for you and the Queen”. He said with a bow.
“Where is the Queen?” I asked.
“We’ve not seen her in three days”. He said.
That sent me running inside the palace.
“Father!” My children exclaimed when they saw me.
I pecked them all on the head.
“I missed you all”. I said.
“Where is your grandmother?” I asked.
“I’m here!” A voice said behind me and I jumped in fright.
“Mother Selena!” I exclaimed.
“Where have you been?” She whispered.
“I can’t say now. Where is Sefan?” I asked.
“In the training ground. He has been training the warriors really hard. What is going on? I haven’t even seen my
daughter. Where is she?” She said simultaneously.
“I’ll explain the details later”. I said.
“Kids stay with your grandmother. I’ll be back shortly”. I said to my children.
“But you just arrived!” Diane pouted.
“I’ll be back!” I said and ran off in the direction of the workshop.
When I got there, I met a guard.
“Is the Queen in there?” I asked him.
“Yes your Majesty. She has not left in the past three days. She has not eaten, she has not talked to anyone!” The
guard said, clearly concerned.
I opened the door. Alani was hunched over at the working table. She didn’t even notice my presence. I noticed
she was making a spear.
Soon, I heard her talking in a foreign language.
There was another presence, similar to that at the potter’s house. Did that same spirit possess my wife?
“Drtuoe hidiae suaez tia balie ( Darkness hides from the light )”. She said and got a dagger.
She sliced her palm. I wanted to stop her but something seemed to stop me.
She kept on talking and dripped her blood into the molten gold that lay inside a spear-shaped wood.
“Gale bae balie qear tia sol, catae mie balie laube hai nodb mier tuo tia sol ( Gold is bright as the sun, take my
bright blood and bond me to the sun)”. What was she even saying?
“Drtuoe lacie suaez tia sol, gael alwe xacetvea eit ruof tia sol xacetvea tia drtuoe ertre eites ptaref. Xacetvea tia
drtuoe hai zleab balie ( Darkness flees from the sun, gold will destroy it for the sun destroys the darkness in it’s
part. Destroy the darkness and shine bright )”.
She began saying the same words over again. By now the gold had begun to dry and shape into a spear.
“Ertre tia majesticea namuo soverignei ( In the Queen’s name )”. She said at the end of the third time.
The golden spear shined bright before the light dwindled.
What just happened?
Then she turned around to face me. Her eyes flashed to white before changing to eyes, the color of storm.
I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me. I knew very well who possessed the potter and Alani.
My mother.
TBC……..
Ladies and gentlemen!
Wise Molad has come to save the day as usual.
But wahala dey o, Rael has made an army that cannot feel pain combined with an army of the dead.
So it is the spirit of late Queen Mander that possessed the potter and Alani.
This war is gonna be hot.
