THE PROPHECY 22

The Prophecy
Episode 22


Onwem was so elated to have a child of her own. She named her after herself. When the officials asked her why she named the baby girl Onwem. She told them that she had given everything she was and would ever be to her baby girl.
It was a royal celebration to welcome the crown princess. Four years later, Onwem sent a message to Dike. Inviting him to her Empire. Dike was not ready to pay a visit across the sea and to an Empress he believed had no business with him.
"You have to pay a visit to the Empress across the Great Sea. There must be a reason she wants to see you so badly" Dike's advisor said to him.
"How can I pay a visit to an Empress I have no business with? I have never met her and my Kingdom doesn't do business transactions with her empire" Dike said to his advisor.
"Still you have to pay her a visit. From what I heard she is very sick now. Who knows. She might want to hand over her empire to you before she dies" his advisor spoke.
"I don't want her empire. I have refused to be greedy. But I will go and answer to this Empress" Dike finalised.
"Yes you have to. We will go together with your son. It will be good for the crown prince to have his first trip" The advisor suggested.
"The Crown Prince is too young to survive the poisonous sea. I will not go with him. We will go to the Empress tomorrow" Dike sounded.
Dike's servants made preparations for his trip across the Great Sea the following day. Dike explained to his wife, the princess. She asked him to take her and their son, the crown prince with him. According to her, such a royal visit requires their presence. Dike accepted to go with his wife and her son to pay a visit to the strange Empress across the Great Sea.
While Dike was asleep that night. The same old man that appeared before him on the mountain appeared in his dream and urged him to go with his son to meet the Empress. Dike woke up and looked at his son who was sleeping. He kept looking at him. The son resembled him a lot. He made up his mind to go with him and his wife.
The next day, they set out on the journey across the Great Sea.
