Episode 21

The Queen got down from the mountains as the giant trolls walked beside her. She mounted her horse and watched as the army of trolls finished off the remaining soldiers of Oguma in the camp. The Queen said to one of the giants, "this is liberation not murder. I want a thousand trolls in the city palace of Oguma. They should strick off chains from the hands of every slave from Ideje and other kingdoms whom my father kept as prisoners" She said this and rode off with some of the giants.

The remaining two giants controlled the trolls and gave the orders. Thousands of trolls made their way to the camp of the king of Ideje while a thousand trolls swept through the city of Oguma. They first entered the markets and killed soldiers suppressing the marketers, the stall owners and traders. The people rejoiced as this happened. The trolls regrouped and headed to the palace. Some soldiers left in the palace of Oguma were terrified at the sight. They fought but lost.

The Prophetess in the forest got down from her horse and approached the king of Oguma where he helplessly sat. "My lord" she called him but the King couldn't open his eyes. "I'm sorry for everything. You are a good woman but power and fame deceived me. I have committed terrible things against you but know it that my last mission was to find our daughter and keep her safe but things are no longer the same" he coughed and continued. "Your daughter controls the trolls that will conquer the world. I may not be there to stop her but I know you can" he held her hand and the prophetess was filled with tears. "Hold your heart great woman" he continued, "you are the best" he said while about giving up the ghost. The Prophetess cried bitterly as she held his head and said, "I still love you. My love for you has always been true and pure. Don't leave now. I forgive you Ameba" she called him by his name and he opened his eyes with a weak smile on his lips, "yes. That is my name. I love you" he died. And the Prophetess wailed.

When the young general woke up from where he fainted, the two giant trolls the Queen left behind to control her army were standing before him. One of them pulled him up so high that his feet hung in the air. "You came back you little man" the giant said.

"Put me down. I have to see your prophetess" the young general was choking.

"She doesn't want to see you" the giant released him and he fell. "Now off you go!" He shouted at him. The young general looked around and saw a horse and without a word rushed to the horse, mounted on it and kicked it hard. The giants watched as he galloped away.

In the forest where the prophetess was still knelling and crying beside the corpse of the king of Oguma, the Queen was riding towards them with her giant trolls.
