Twenty years after king Shaka fortified the entire kingdom of Sheba, King Ashur, King of Aetas( northern kingdom), waged war against the Shebians. The Shebians army were no match for the Aetanians, compared to the Shebians army, the Aetanians were stronger. After three days of endless battles, the Aetanians conquered the Shebians. They broke down the wall of Sheba, plunder their goods and enslaved their people, just as the oracle had predicted.
King Shaka was killed on the third day, his body was hung on a cross outside his kingdom for passerbys to see. Vultures feed on his corpse.
The Aetanias killed all the sons of king Shaka except one, prince Aaron. Prince Aaron was crippled from birth. He was the youngest amongst the seven sons of king Shaka. King Shaka's wives and daughters became King Ashur's mistresses.
After the Aetanians conquered Sheba, king Ashur made prince Aaron king over the Shebians. Although he was the king, he took orders form King Ashur. Every month, the Shebianite paid tribute to the Aetanias.
Prince Aaron was forced to marry princess Thera, daughter of Archer, brother to King Ashur. She gave birth to twins, two boys. Perez and Herez.
During this same time, King Tera from the eastern kingdom, waged war with the mideans and the Savagians tribe and overthrew them. King Lemech and king Elick were Killed during the war. King Tera ordered all their sons to be killed. Their daughters were forced to be mistresses to the king. Unlike King Ashur, King Tera appointted ministers from his Kingdom to rule over both tribes. Every month they paid tribute to king Tera.
A year later, the islanders were attacked. After fighting for three days, King Elak decided to negotiate with the King of Pehu, king of the southern kingdom. King Elak was fully aware that his people were no match for King Peshu's army.
Compared to the other tribes, King Elak's tribe was the smallest. He knows he would lose if he continues to fight.
" Milord. King Elak wants to negotiate. He promised to surrender if you can grant his request." One of king Peshu's general spoke.
" What does he want? what does he possibly have that I'm in need of." King Peshu puffed.
" Milord, he promised to give his daughters to you, in return you will stop the attack."
" Tell him I will accept his proposal only on one condition. Tell him that a part of the kingdom's revenue will be given to me every month. If he fails in the future, I will reduce his kingdom to ashes."
" Yes Milord." The general bow his head, before walking out of the King's tent.
After hearing king Peshu's condition, King Elak accepted his proposal without hesitation. He gave his three daughters to the king of Pehu.
In return, king Peshu stopped the attack. From then onward, the islanders paid tribute to the southern king. The islanders where the only tribe in the western kingdom that was not dominated.
