Episode 16
The King of Oguma still knelt, holding on to the prophetess and refusing to let her leave his tent.
"Let me go" the Prophetess cried bitterly
"I can't. Not until you kill me" cried the King.
"It is over. The king of Ideje must have this war. You have enslaved most of his people, had your soldiers rape his women, sold off the children of his soldiers and worst of all you have his daughter in your cell. He must have this war for many reasons and I can't stop him" the Prophetess said and tried to leave but the King still held onto her.
"I will make a little amendment" he said and signalled one of his soldiers who went and brought a young lady into the tent. She was well dressed and looked lively. "Here is the daughter of the King of Ideje. Go back to his camp with her. I will personally go in search of your daughter...our daughter. I promise you"
"And what will you tell her when you see her? That you are her father? And that all that happened between you and her was imaginary?. I would rather loose you, her father than loose my daughter" the Prophetess finalised and left the tent. The young lady ran after her. The king sat on the floor and cried to his fill as his soldiers stood beside him.

Outside the tunnel, the Queen was seated moody . The burning logs they used to roast the last night wild meat were still fresh while the general stood beside her. His eyes roamed the forest and caught a kid standing near an iroko tree. He looked carefully and the kid signalled him to come. He hesitated, looked at the Queen but she was unaware of what was happening. He started to move towards the direction of the iroko tree. The Queen raised her head and asked, "where are you going to?"
"Just wait there for me. Don't go anywhere okay?" Said the general as he continued to move towards the iroko tree.
The general reached where the iroko was but did not see the boy there. He searched around and saw him climbing a short tree. The boy paused and said, "You must be the water that will quench her fire. She has her mother's gifts and hers is more dangerous. She knows everything. Everything that is there to know she knows. Her father is the King of Oguma and she knows. She knows everything and she has, already the blood of the troll which you used to cure her in her system. The trolls will worship her and she will seek for vengeance. Be the water that will quench her fire before it's too late" the boy said as his voice echoed and woke the general from his sleep. He sighed. It was all a dream. He sat up in deep thoughts. He looked beside him and saw the Queen sleeping soundly. He looked at the burning logs before realising that the Queen was already seated. He was scared to learn that the way she seated now was exactly how she was seated in the dream. He asked her, "are you okay?
" I couldn't sleep" she just answered.
"Why?" He asked.
"I know everything now" she answered and the general's jaw dropped in shock.
