Journey To The Unknown

Episode 10

“Nna anyi, this is how he has been since he
woke up from the bad dream he had last night.

All that he said was seeing dead bodies,
animals and the throne being destroyed” Mrs.

Nworie said as it was morning and the dream
was still disturbing Anochie which made him
quiet and gloomy. His Mother already has ran
to inform Maazi Ukadike who arrived with her
“Tufiakwa!!” Ukadike exclaimed
“Abomination” He added folding his arms with his walking stick still in his hands
“Dead what?” He asked himself
“I am confused myself Nna anyi” Mrs. Nworie said and Ukadike walked closer to Anochie

“Anochie My Son, it was only a dream” He said to Anochie

“But Nna anyi, it was so real” Anochie said
looking at him

“I know my son, dreams always look real”
Ukadie said

“Just try taking it off your mind” Ukadike said partially succeeding in changing Anochie’s mood

“Ok Papa. Thank You” Anochie said and Ukadike stood up

“Mama Anochie, take good care of him”
Ukadike said to Mrs. Nworie
“Thank You Nna anyi” Mrs. Nworie said and he left, but Anochie still sat on the bench
wondering about what he saw in his dream..

“Amaka!! Amaka!!” Lolo called walking out of her room

“Where is this girl??” She asked herself
“Amaka!!!” She called again but no reply from anywhere around the compound so she called on a nearby guard

“Dike” She called on the guard and he came
kneeling down before her

“Go and look for Amaka in her hut” She
ordered and went inside her hut as the guard
ran out. Meanwhile, Amaka was a beauty
worthy to behold, a bit dark in complexion,
average in heaight with smiles always on her
face..
*
“My Prince, please don’t do this to me, I’m begging you” She pleaded as she struggled with Prince Azuka who barged into her room as she la!d in bed

“You better keep quiet and co-operate with
me. Remember, I am the Prince” He said as a warning to her pulling down his local trousers hold her two hands together with one of his hands

“My Prince please!!” Amaka pleaded in great tears shaking her head and struggling with him

“Even your tears won’t save you. He reached below, loosed the wrapper she tied round her waist leaving her with nothing to cover her privacy, he admired her thighs and wanted to begin the dance but they heard a knock on the door and he immediately jumped off her

“Amaka!! Amaka!!” The voice of dike called
from the outside but the Prince ordered her
not to reply. He quickly gave her clothes to her
which she immediately wore and dried her
tears, forcing out a smile as the Prince ordered her

“If anyone hears about this, you are dead!!”

Prince Azuka threatened and hid behind the
door as Amaka went and opened the door. Dike almost left due to the silence he got as an
answer to his unending knocks.

“Amaka, what have you been doing in here that you did not hear my knock” Dike asked as he peeped his head in to know if he could notica anything suspicious

“Sorry, I think I overslept” Amaka said
“Ehee.. You think?? Maybe you will tell that to
Lolo” Dike said

“Chim oooh..!! Was she calling me?” Amaka
asked in fear knowing that Loloo will not spare
her

“She has been calling your name all over the
palace” Dike said and Amaka placed her hands on her head

“You are still standing there okwa ya? You have not gone to answer her” Dike asked rhetorically and left and Amaka immediately closed the door and ran to Lolo’ chambers. As she left,

Prince Azuka came out making sure no one saw him, he maintained an Unsuspicious mood and walked away

“The gods have saved you today” He
sililoquised and walked to his mother’s hut.
*

“Amaka, where have you been?” Lolo asked

“Sorry My Queen, I was behind the palace”
Amaka replied with her face down and Azuka
came in

“Good Morning Nne” He greeted and his
mother patted him

“You better not try it next time” Lolo warned Amaka

“Go and get me a cup of water and a cup of
wine for my son” She ordered and Azuka
pretended

“What did she do Nne?” He asked
“Nothing to worry about My Son” Lolo replied smiling at him

“What are you still doing here! Get out!” She yelled at Amaka who rushed out. Azuka yet lustfully admired her backside as she went out which his mother noticed

“What are you looking at?” Lolo asked
“Nothing Nne” Azuka lied

“You know you can’t lie to me” Lolo said and Azuka kept quiet

“My Son, they are your servants, do to them
whatever you which. You are the Prince My
son” Lolo encouraged his evil thoughts and he smiled hugging his mother…
