It has been two centuries since the three tribes in the west was dominated. The mideans and the Savagians tribe were merged in one. The the eastern king named it Meelan( meaning to be united).
The islanders lived in peace for the past two centuries. After they gave part of their revenue to the southern king, the southern kingdom never troubled them again. King Elak died thirty years later after his negotiation with the southern king. His son reigned in his stead, and his son's son, down to his fourth generation. His great grand son, King Arthur was the present king of the islanders.
King Aaron, son of king Shaka, died twenty years after the northern king overthrew Sheba. He was poisoned by his wife, Queen Thera. Queen Thera considered Aaron week and incapable of ruling. After Aaron died, she ruled over the Shebians. After queen Thera's death, her sons, Perez and Herez fought for the crown. Perez joined forces with his uncle, King Ashur to war against his elder brother, Herez.
Herez decided to ask for help from the eastern king, Peshu. But Peshu refused to help him. He later joined forces with the mountain people. Both brothers fought for the crown for almost two years till Perez conquered his brother.
Herez was forced to retreat. He went back to live in the mountains alongside some of his men. He was later crowned king of the mountain people, after the death of the first mountain king. King Perez was crowded the king of Sheba after he conquered his brother.
King Perez got married to a Shebianite, because they were forbidden to marry outside their tribe. His wife gave birth to sons and daughters for him.
After King Perez died, his son reigned in his stead. After his son died, his grand son, Phoenix reigned in his stead. King Phoenix was the present king of Sheba.
King Phoenix got married to his childhood friend, Hazel. King Phoenix loved Hazel since they were children. After he was crowded king, he married Hazel. Unfortunately, Hazel was barren. She could not convinced a child.
Twenty years after their marriage, King Phoenix married Hazel's cousin, Lin. Lin conceived a month after their wedding, the gods blessed her with four sons. Sushmita, Ham, Dan and Pesus.
Lin maltreated her cousin, Hazel because she didn't have a child of her own. She called her a witch and a jinxed woman. Queen Lin and the other mistresses of the king mocked Hazel's childless. Most times, Hazel will lock herself up in the room, she will cry and pray to the gods for a child.
" If you can give me a son, just one I beg you. At least I will have a child of my own and the world will stop calling me barren. I'm not asking for too much, just one son, one son I ask from you." She cried day and night pleading to the gods for a son.
Phoenix tried to console her but she refused to be consoled.
" I'm I not more than ten sons to you? Why do you want to kill yourself because of a child. If you have a child or not, it won't change the way I feel about you. No matter what Hazel, I will always love you. Nothing in this world can changed that."
There was no doubt that he loved her irrespective of her childlessness. King Phoenix gave Hazel five times more than what he gives to Lin. He loved her dearly, but his love was not all she craved for. She wanted a child of her own. Untill she has a child she will not feel like a complete woman.
In those days, women who couldn't convince a child where called witches, and they were considered incomplete women.
Ten years later, queen Hazel conceived. Her joy knew no bound. The entire kingdom was shocked by the news, they thought she would never conceive. After thirty years, the gods had mercy on her and blessed her with a child of her own.
" What do you think the sex of our child will be?" She asked her husband, while her hands rubbed her swollen tommy.
" I don't care about the sex. All I care about is your happiness. A boy or a girl, any is fine by me." King Phoenix answered with a smile on his face.
" I can't wait for our child to be born. I can't wait to hold him in my hands. I will spoil him with alot of love." She giggled.
" I hope after our child is born, you won't completely forget about me." He teased.
" Are you jealous Milord?" She asked with her brow slightly raised.
" I'm not. I don't want anyone to take my place in your heart." He said in a calm voice filled with warmth. He stood up to hug her.
