Episode 13
In Ideje, the battalion is ready for war. The King had gotten himself together and was already seated on his golden horse while twenty of his best generals stood beside him on their horses. He shook his head before nodding. There was a great sound of trumpet and the army matched forward for the war.

In Ideje, the King sat on his throne moody. One of his generals ran in to announce that the army was ready to match.
"Is the prophetess still in her shrine?" He asked.
"No my lord. She is fully prepared and now on her horse, ready to lead the army" the general answered with a smile.
The king smiled thankfully before saying, "We will win this war. She is with us. The gods are with us. Now here is an order for you; during the war, don't touch her daughter or let any soldier from my army do so. Let the war leaders know as well. The young general shouldn't be hurt either. We will protect them. This will be our own way of saying thank you to the prophetess" said the king.
"But my lord. The general said something strange while the soldiers you sent to bring him in were trying to do so" said the general worriedly.
"What did he say?" The king asked.
"We overheard him from the tower as he said that you ordered the death of his mother" said the general. The king didn't say a thing. He was stunned.

It was already morning and the streaming water from the cliff through the tunnel still washed down the blood of the soldiers from Oguma down the other path of the forest. The young general knelt beside the Queen and looked at the resting beast in front of him. He quietly got up and tried to place the Queen on his shoulders and escape the tunnel without waking up the beast but the beast adjusted itself heavily after the last night feast on the flesh of the Oguma soldiers. Suddenly it sprang up. The general was scared. The beast approached him and smelled him before walking out of the tunnel majestically. The general breathed hard before looking into the eyes of the Queen who was now glaring into his eyes.
"What happened?" She asked him.
The general was almost crying to see she was now well. He shook his head and said, "nothing"
