Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 1: SURPRISE ATTACK

# IN THE DAYS OF THE KEHITA KINGDOM.

A few soldiers of the Kehita Kingdom about ( 500) men were carrying some goods on a good morning which was on a saturday. They were passing the thick forest of Albed and were going to deliver the goods to another Kingdom named Arnon which was a 2- day journey from the Kehita Kingdom. The goods were to be given to the King of Arnon whose name was Zulux so as to enter a business treaty with him. Before then, king zulux had written a letter to King Rulx of the Kehita Kingdom about the goods which he promised to send for him and also begged King Rulx that he will pay back for it later. King Rulx replied to him in another letter telling him that the goods will be sent soon, and that he should not worry about the money, that he can pay anytime he wants. Although, the price of the goods ( weapons) were only 500 shekels of gold. When King Zulux received and read the letter, he was very happy. But unfortunately, for the soldiers that morning in the thick forest of Albed, they were attacked by ambushed raiders by surprise. The ambushed raiders were only (25) young men of valor who killed every single soldier that raised his sword but only one of the soldiers escaped. One of the raiders whose name was henry tried to catch the soldier but the soldier outran him . Kahu was the ring leader of the group ( raiders).He was average height, fair in complexion, he was good looking, had flexible skills and he was also good with the sword too. He was in his late 20's and also have a good body structure. Henry came back after chasing the escaped soldier looking angry. One of Kahu's men asked him "Did you get him?" And Henry replied "No". Then Kahu said" it's ok". That soldier was lucky but he won't be lucky next time, when we will meet him again". He continued, "let's take these goods because it's ours!!." His men shouted yeah!!! and they took the goods which were weapons of war and went back to where they came from, a village called Tridan which was located on top of a mountain called Obeb . There was much joy when Kahu's people saw that they came back alive and that they brought goods which were weapons of war to use and teach their young men how to fight in a battle. These people were the Trianda clan but had hidden themselves on the mountain for a very long time and they were numerous and mighty. The head leader of the clan was Elder Karz who was Kahu's uncle. When he and the other (7) elders of the clan saw them, with the goods which they brought back, they were amazed and he said "Iam so happy because our young men are getting stronger and my son Kahu is getting smarter too. The strategy he used to defeat the Kehita soldiers was a brilliant one! Welcome Back! Once again mighty sons!!of the Trianda clan. They all bowed and knelt down to show their respect and appreciation. And the people of Trianda were still jubilating for their return. Elder Karz was a former knight of the Kehita Kingdom .He was in his Late 50's, good looking, fair in complexion, have a good body structure, skillful with the sword, tall and revengeful. Meanwhile, the lucky soldier named Quinn who escaped the massacre reached the Kingdom and told the King saying" Your Majesty!! your worthy soldiers were attacked by unknown men in the thick forest and were all brutally murdered. And they also took the goods and i alone escaped to tell you this!!." King Rulx who was in his late 50's,was good looking, he was fair in complexion, have a good body structure and was also skillful too with the sword and he was average height. He was zealous to get whatever thing he wanted without anyone stopping him. He stood up in rage and shouted" What! who could have done this!!? Could this be the handwork of King Zulux! But the wife who was sitting next to him, whose name was Queen Miriam, a beautiful lady in her late 40's said "Your majesty, my adorable husband!! I don't think it is him, why would he want to do this to us. I still doubt it your majesty please look into it carefully". The King listened to her, calmed himself and sat down and told the soldier who escaped the incident saying "Summon the elders at once" And the soldier replied" Yes your Majesty i will at once" and he left. Kehita Kingdom had the biggest palace which was made of gold and silver. After an hour, the elders, (14) of them were at the palace and were all shocked of what happened and one of them said " Your Majesty this has never happened before since when we use to trade or do business with other neighbouring kingdoms but this one is strange. Could there be anyone or person out there that is not happy with this kingdom". Another elder said "We have been in peace with other kingdoms for some years now so what could be the reason for such attack". Some elders came to the conclusion that it could not be King Zulux doing since their King Rulx was in good terms with him. Then one of the elders said "I suspect the Trianda clan". There was absolute silence for sometime, then the King said" it has been (27) years since i have heard of that clan. I disagree with you Elder Noclem but on the second thought you might be right but if they are out there why can't they show themselves?. But if i ever see or catch them, i will kill all of them!!". The king continued "But how did the information leak? that i was going to send my goods to King Zulux because, i only told all of you here and no other person". He, looked at the elders with a mean face and they were all surprised and told the King that they didn't leak the information about the goods talk more of telling anyone. The King was surprised and asked himself saying "who could have done this"? But it also surprised the elders too.
