THE PROPHECY episode 11

The Prophecy
Episode 11

Itoho palace maids, priestesses, priests and people were stripped, bound and forced down to Icho to serve their new King, Dike.
Back to Icho, Dike sat on his throne and commanded the General to prepare the battalion to match. With over five thousand foot soldiers and one thousand riders Dike was prepared to advance towards the battle field but something seemed to be wrong somewhere. Onwem was not back yet.
Dike commanded that the priestesses they brought from Itoho kingdom be brought before him at once.
The General obeyed and brought two elderly priestesses whom were brought as slaves from Itoho before Dike.
"Tell me, Dike began" what do you see? Am I going to win this war? Is Onwem in trouble? Why is she not yet back with the Sacred Tiger?
The first priestess chuckled weakly and said "The Tiger is no longer her own to control. I foresaw it long ago. I warned the late king of Itoho whom you beheaded that the Tiger will bring calamity to those who dare to use it to wage war. Although your destiny is different but what about her own destiny? Are you sure your destiny lies with Onwem's destiny? Can't you see now that the more brutal you become the more uncontrollable the Sacred Tiger becomes? Were you not told that you have a fate to share with The Sacred Tiger? You don't have to fight Abiam. Because the real war has already started"
Dike was dumbfounded. He rose from his seat and paced worriedly. He stopped before the priestess that spoke and asked " Are you saying that Onwem is in danger? "
"She is not just in danger but she will put you in danger. The prophecy can't be averted. You must kill her now or suffer what she will become later. Even your mother warned you that Onwem will be your weakness or did she not?" The priestess asked Dike.
Dike became even more worried. He ordered four soldiers to go in search of Onwem.
After a long search in the forest. the four soldiers found Onwem lying on the dirt, covered with her own blood. They saw the Tiger's claws all over her body. They revived her and one of them asked her what happened.
Onwem cried instead.
They helped her back to the palace of Icho Kingdom. Dike was anxious to know what happened. Onwem managed to tell him how the Sacred Tiger suddenly stopped pursuing The Princess of Abiam and the King of Icho even while it was almost descending on them and how the Tiger threw her off her back and tried to devour her. She managed to escape with the strength Dike's mother bestowed on her. She cried the more and told Dike that the real enemy was no longer Abiam but The Sacred Tiger which have become an enemy to the humans.
