THE PROPHETESS episode 17

The Prophetess

Episode 17

The general stood up slowly and so did the Queen. The expression on her face was totally strange and the general was scared already. There was shuffling of feet from the tunnels. The general looked back and saw in utter shock as trolls started to emanate from the tunnels. He tried to react but the smiles on the Queen's face made him stop. Seven giant trolls with heavy axes reached where the Queen was standing and helped her remove her garments before dressing her in tiger skins. The female among the trolls drew some lines on the Queen's face with a dark ink before they all knelt in front of the Queen. The general still thought he was dreaming but alas that was reality.

The Queen looked at the trolls for sometimes and said, "I need a 100,000 trolls to conquer ancient kingdoms"

"Consider it done great Prophetess" the seven giant trolls said in unison before going back into the tunnels. The general couldn't speak for a long time. The Queen looked away and asked, "why are you looking at me like that?"

"You know why. What was that?" He asked.

"Not that. They are my warriors" she said, shook her head before adding, "I know you are confused but I know quite a lot now. What the king of Oguma did to the man who nurtured my mother while she carried me in her womb. The man that helped bring me into this world. He never made it to the war he was prepared to lead his army to because the King who equally is my father was jealous of him. The same father of mine dumped my mother and got married to several women. His greed and wickedness spurred him to abduct me and got married to me without knowing I'm his daughter. You see, he can't be alive, not after all he has done. The king of Ideje will also die for dispatching the raiders that attacked your village and killed your mother. I will not forgive them. I'm The Prophetess and I will kill them all!"

The general didn't know where to start to speak.

"Should I worship you now?" He asked softly.

The Queen smiled and went closer to him. The general watched as she held him by the shoulder and gave him a Queenly kiss. "You will not worship me. You will love me" she said.

Dawn was approaching and there was choas in the camp of the king of Ideje. The Prophetess was missing in her tent. The soldiers were desperately searching the tents in the camp when they sighted the prophetess approaching through the hills with a lady behind her. A close look at them and the king of Ideje was full of smiles to see his daughter again.
