Episode 20

The general knew he had to stop the Queen from hitting the camp of her father, the king of Oguma. He ran off immediately after the boy disappeared. He was making his way to the camp. He climbed the rocks and sighted the battle already commencing. He was panting heavily as he sighted the Queen standing on a mountain just before the camp with the seven giant trolls standing right beside her with their heavy axes.  In the camp, the trolls were destroying the tents and the soldiers of Oguma with them.

The young general made his way to the mountains as he continued to pant. The camp of the King of Oguma was set on fire and the smoke drew the attention of the king of Ideje who was inside his tent in his camp with his daughter and the Prophetess. He ran outside and the two women followed him outside. One of his soldiers ran to him and said, "my King, the camp of the King of Oguma is on fire. It appears trolls are at war with the humans"

The King's jaw dropped, "trolls?! He asked.

" yes my King" answered the soldier.

The King turned to face the prophetess saying, "Who commands trolls in this world?"

"Only a powerful prophet or prophetess could summorn the trolls from their caves. If this is true then another powerful person has emerged. I must tell you now that the King of Oguma is the father of my daughter. I don't want him dead and I don't want my daughter dead either. Summorn your men" said the Prophetess.

"And do what with my men?! No one has won a war against the people of the Sea let alone the trolls. I won't take my men to their graves. We will abandon this camp and retire to Ideje and properly send a message to the Ruler of the people of the sea to come to our rescue" immediately after the King finished, some of the watchers on the hills came fallen to pieces on the ground. The King could see their hearts pierced with arrows. The soldiers in the camp sounded the bell and all men got ready. The King could not believe his eyes. The trolls were descending on them in thousands. The prophetess mounted her horse.

"Are you leaving me and my men?" The king of Ideje screamed.

"I have led men to war against men but not men against trolls. This war you cannot win and I need to find my daughter" said the Prophetess before she rode off. Shortly after, the trolls descended on them.

In the camp of the King of Oguma, it was all ruins. The smoke filled the air and the Queen still stood on the mountains. The young general was tired of running. He wasn't able to reach the mountain before he fell and fainted.
"When the trolls are done here they should join hands with the ones already at the camp of the King of Ideje, destroy them and get ready to match to the land of the People of the Sea" the Queen gave her orders and the giant trolls bowed.

                                ****
The prophetess was riding in the forest when he saw the King of Oguma sitting and dying in front of a cave. She stopped the horse, looked at the king carefully and
couldn't believe what the mysterious bees did to his flesh.
