On reaching outside Sakhraj's house, genie Hifreetu brought out his wings and ordered me to climb his back. just as I was about to climb his back, Sakhraj ran out of his house calling my name, I turned to his direction and he was holding a very old looking long rectangular iron box, be "lest I forget" he said. "This may be of great help to you" as he gave me the box. I thanked him and climbed on back. The next thing I saw was Hifreetu flying with me deep into the cloud. At this time, I was full of hope and I assured myself that Hifreetu will help me succeed my mission. Hifreetu was quiet as he flew very fast in the air while I was on his back sharpening my sword, pair of axes and arrowheads. At this point, I remembered the box given to me by Sakhraj and thought of what use it would be to me. I surveyed the box and saw that it can be opened. I open it and immediately, a glittering metal from the box shone directly into my eyes. It took me some seconds to figure out what it was. It was Tikhzar-Falli, the sword of Truth. There is a very great story about this sword but it will be for another day. I carried the sword which I knew nothing about at that time and I felt a sudden eagerness to face any type of danger. Then, I knew that there was something special about the sword. Hifreetu flew with me on his back for about three days before landing on the ground. I dropped from his back and he returned his wings inside his body and said to me, "oh my Prince, I am afraid of this forest to talk more of you. I am trying to tell you to be careful with every step you take." I showed no sign of fear and told him not to worry about me. He tried to let me know of the dangers in the forest but I told him that we should move on. we walk in between many tall trees. The trees were so tall that I could hardly see the top. We walk for about two hours then we got to a particular place where was so quiet, no signs of birds or insects there. We stood there imagining what kind of place it was. without talking the proverb which states that "before you see a monkey, the monkey has seen you" was proved right to me at that particular time because the children of the gorillas have already seen us before we reach there and had set a trap ahead. All of a sudden, while still in the place, we started hearing loud laughter above us. The laughter was so loud that I couldn't hear what Hifreetu said to me. He spoke again and I merely heard him, "run" he said. I acted fast to what he said but before I could take up to 10 steps, a giant gorilla landed in front of me I kept still as if I was frozen and check around for Hifreetu but he was nowhere to be found. The gorilla attempted to blow off my head with his fist but in a highly skilled way, I bent down and his hand pass above me. Before he could regain his balance, I sprang up from the ground as I unsheathe the sword of truth and cut off his head. Blood gushed out like flood from his dead body. I was taken aback at the wonder the sword of Truth performed. Cutting off the gorilla's head without much external Force. But I realised that killing the gorilla was just the beginning when the rest of his thousand siblings started jumping down from their hiding places ferociously. At first, I was confused but later gained courage and started attacking them. I was highly impressed with myself because I fought for about a day without any of them laying a finger on me. At this point, I had killed up to half of them and it was at this point I started getting tired to the extent that I couldn't attack them any more. They were striking hard at me and if not for my agility in dodging their strikes, they would have killed me. I was not having any choice than to run. I ran as fast as I could but the gorillas chased me. I didn't stop until I was sure I had given them a reasonable gap. I stopped and unhanged my bow which was hanging on my shoulder. I stringed the bow together with 10 arrows and released them. To my greatest surprise in more than 10 of them fell down dead. I stringed and released 10 more arrows for the second time and a large number of the Gorillas fell dead. I continued stringing and releasing the arrows as fast as I could and before they got close to me, they were not up to 200. When it was remaining about five steps for them to reach me, I swooped in the air with a high morale and started attacking and cutting off parts of their bodies with the sword of truth, the sword that controls the mind of its bearer, the sword that removes fear from the mind of its bearer the sword which holds a great story and its powers are unimaginable. In a few minutes, I was through with them and the place was as quiet as if no living creature had ever been there. The dead bodies of the gorillas laid on the ground and blood flowed like a spring. I stayed at that place to regain my strength and after some hours I moved forward to look for the parents of the Gorillas. I walked for about three hours then I saw a cave far in front of me. I approached the cave and entered inside, immediately I entered, I realised it was the habitat of the Gorillas but none of them was inside. I concluded to myself that is because the children didn't come back home for two days that's why the parents had gone out in search of them. I looked for a comfortable place and sat down to meditate. Not too long into my meditation, the whole Forest was filled with the cry of the parents. Their cry caused a semi earthquake in the forest. I was terrified because I knew that the parents have found the dead bodies of their children and must surely search for their killer. I got ready for the worst and sat still for about 30 minutes waiting for their arrival. Unexpectedly, a Gorilla swung from a tree outside the cave and landed inside. I was shocked because the gravity it used in Landing made me stopped praying and sprang up on my feet. I began to think of how to kill the gorilla. Just then, another gorilla which was the male landed with Greater gravity. The ground shook and I slipped to the ground but quickly regained my balance. I noticed the two gorillas looking at me with rage in them. I stood with confidence looking at them too. The expression on the Gorillas faces was that what type of human being I was, after killing their children, I still have the guts to stay in there abode waiting for them. We stood there looking at each other for some minutes. They were waiting to see what I will do and I was also waiting to see what they will do. At last, the male gorilla signalled the female gorilla to step aside and watch how he will deal with me. The gorilla ran towards me with a great agility. I fired five arrows at him before he got close to me but it was as if I aimed at a rock. The gorilla madly rushed at me with very wicked strikes with his fists as if crushing me against the wall of the cave. I merely dodged his strikes with a broken heart but I was determined to never give up dodging his strikes. I couldn't attack because of his aggressiveness. If I had tried to attack, he would have killed me. I decided to use only dodging skill. I dodged his strikes until I made him follow me out of the cave. I hid behind trees and made him strike on them to get him tired. He strikes hard on any tree I was hiding but I quickly move to another tree to avoid the tree falling on me. After some hours of dodging it's strikes with the aid of trees, I saw that there was no progress in defeating the gorilla, so I decided to combine both the dodging and attacking skills. I hid behind a tree and waited for him to strike on it. Immediately he struck on the tree, the tree uprooted and fell towards me. The gorilla thought that I was crushed by the tree but unfortunate for him, I knelt on one knee and held up the tree with the sword of truth. If not for the sword of truth, I wouldn't be able to withstand the weight of the tree. Unexpected to the gorilla, I pushed the tree with full force towards him and he couldn't stop it. The tree went with full force and hit the centre of his head and he fell unconscious to the ground as the tree scattered into many pieces. "Yes, this is the right time to get rid of this gorilla." I said to myself. I swooped and landed on the Gorillas chest with my sword piercing through his heart.it let out a piercing scream as he tried to stand on its feet but I quickly shot an arrow on its right arm which pinned it to the ground. I did the same to its left palm. I remove my sword from the its chest and blood rushed out. I stood beside the Gorilla's head and held my sword with full grip, I recited some supplications and struck its neck. It's head separated from its body and the gorilla died. I went back into the cave to meet the female gorilla. I expected it to run away from me but it was otherwise. It stood waiting for the worst. Without wasting any time, I bounced on the ground and sprang up heading to its neck with my sword. It was as if it had no nerves because it didn't even blink its eyes until I cut off its head. It fell down dead. I quickly struck the head which was separated from her body with my axe, the head opened and I packed out her brain. Just then I heard a sound behind me and I quickly turn with my sword to see what it was. It was nobody but Hifreetu, the genie who left me when I was in need of him. I could have instantly killed him for abandoning me to the gorillas but he was weeping and he said, "oh brave prince of Hisham, I have betrayed you.Before you take any action on me,I want you to know that to protect you is not part of my service to you but I deserve to die for what I have done please kill me." I ran towards him to strike him with my sword but before I could do so, he screamed saying "please spare my life" I withdrew the attack and smiled at him saying, "you ask me to kill you and now you are pleading." Hifreetu then told me that fighting was not part of his service to me and that I have performed a great wonder in the forest because there was no living gorilla left in the forest. I asked him how he knew the wonder that I performed and he told me that at the time we were running from the loud laughter, he was right behind me but immediately the first gorilla landed in front of me, he quickly flew into the trees and hid on the tallest tree in the forest. He watched me as I slay down the head of the first gorilla and how the remaining gorillas jumped out of their hiding places and how I fought and defeated them. He told me that the most amazing part of all was how I defeated the parents of the Gorillas. After Hifreetu finished telling me his part of the action that took place in the forest, he still pleaded with me not to think that he abandoned me. I pitied him and told him that I understood his part of the mission which was for him to transport me from one forest to another and not to fight. I was to carry out my mission myself. I continued packing the brain into the secret preserving bag and when I was done, Hifreetu brought out his wings and told us to move on to the second forest. I mounted his back and he dived into the sky. While Hifreetu was flying with a supersonic speed, I was on his back thinking of the calamities that will befall me in the second forest Just then, Hifreetu stopped in the air while flapping his wings and I asked him why he stopped, he pointed at the forest beneath us and said that we were about to enter into the second forest after spending nine days since the beginning of our journey and that we must complete the mission of the second Forest within five days so as to meet up with the lioness in labour. He suggested that we should camp outside the forest for two days and enter on the third day after sunrise. I agreed with Hifreetu. He flapped his wings heavily against each other and headed downward. We landed on the outskirt of the forest and camped there for two days. Throughout these two days, I was engaged in prayers for my success in the forest. Finally, on the third day, we left for the second forest when it was still dark. When we reached the centre of the forest, Hifreetu landed on a very tall tree as we waited for sunrise. Just as the sun started rising from the east, we saw pride of lions walking together pass under the particular tree we were. We immediately knew that they were the offsprings of my two aims in the forest and were out for hunting. When they were far from us, I told Hifreetu to fly us down from the tree and he did as I said. I told him to Shun any form of fear and Join me overcome the mission ahead of me. He promised that he will try his best and we started tracing back the footprints of the pride of lions that passed us to where they came from. after about two hours, we got to a very long and narrow cave which we knew will be the beginning and end of my second mission. We prayed for success and started walking into the cave. We walked for about 30 minutes through the narrow path of the cave before we came to a very wide and open space which was the last part of the cave because there wasn't any other passage except the one we came from and a wide opening at the top of the cave. The opening provided light and ventilation for the cave. At the time we got there we expected to see both the Lion and lioness but we only saw the lioness laying down in pains. This made my heart skipped a beat because my mission has to do with the lion. Hifreetu looked at me and said, "half bread is better than none. Finish off the half that is available maybe we will meet the remaining half on our way out or even before we leave the cave." I agreed with him. I unsheathed my sword and advanced towards the lioness hastily to finish her off and get her intestine.
Whoo-op!!! I was dazed. I didn't know how it happened. I open my eyes only to find out that I was laying flat on the ground with my sword half a metre away from me. I stretch out my arm and grabbed the sword. At this point, thought came to my mind and I sprang up from my laying position to see whether he has disappeared again. Immediately I got on my feet, I almost fainted at the site of the ferocious creature in front of me. A very giant lion standing on its four legs looking at me with annoyance. At first, I had already given up my mission. I shut my eyes, my sword fell off my hand and I fell on my knees waiting for the lion to finish me off. Just then, some thoughts flashed through my mind, "have I forgotten that I am on a mission to avenge my father's death? don't I know that my mother will be happy only if I avenge my father's death? what about my pregnant wife? why should I just die like that?" With these thoughts, my morale boosted and I said to myself that I would rather die trying to succeed than to die just like that. Like a coward. I open my eyes, grabbed my sword and stood on my feet.
