Episode 15
The King of Oguma and his army crossed the boundary that separated Oguma and Ideje and camped.
Beyond the cliff was the king of Ideje advancing with his army and the prophetess who held her staff above her head.
The King of Ideje decided to camp as well.
That night, the prophetess could not sleep in her tent. She knew she had to meet with the King of Oguma and reveal something terrible to him. She took the risk by leaving her tent that night after using her magical powers on the two guards watching over her. They were fast asleep carelessly on the floor when she left.
She entered the camp of the King of Oguma with her face covered. Some men on their duty posts came rushing towards her with burning touches and sharpened swords.
"Who are you?" One of them asked harshly.
The prophetess opened her face and the soldiers were shocked. They knelt before her and had to take her to the tent of their king. The King sprang up from his bed and rushed to hold the prophetess's shoulders in excitement.
"I thought I lost you! Believe me I never wanted any of this...
" you married my daughter without my approval, kept her in your palace against her wish and neglected me in my shrine for years. Now you fake a smile to patronise me. You want me to believe that you have missed me. You avoided me you beast!!! The Prophetess was very angry.
"Calm down" the king begged.
"Calm down? You receive me full of smiles because you know you are loosing the war. Don't try to keep me here against my wish for it won't help you. Every single soldier of Ideje has taken wine from my sacred pot. Not even the soldiers of the Sea People can defeat them now. Serves you right for breaking the promise you made to me, destroying our relationship, killing your general believing he was my lover and marrying your own daughter!!! Screamed the Prophetess.
"What?"! The King was shocked.
"Yes. I begged to see you but you wouldn't grant me access to your palace. I begged for a meeting but you gave me your back. I promised myself that no other man would see my nakedness after you. I took in before you abandoned me. Your general was very kind and took care of me till I delivered. You were desperate to continue to punish me you mad king! You closed your eyes and married your own daughter after killing the man that helped bring her into this world! Where is your daughter now? Where are you now? I came to tell you this and to warn you to surrender else you and your army will be ashes before dawn" the prophetess sounded and tried to leave but the already in tears King knelt down and begged.
"I have sinned against the gods. I have sinned against you. I can't repay this damage. I want to die in your hands. Take this dagger and run me through and end it all! If you don't I will. For only death can free me from my sins" the king cried.
The prophetess looked at his face and her eyes too was filled with tears.
