Chapter 2 - King black 1

What do you mean ? that we should remain like this just to obey the instructions of a dead king no no no !!! I said no these were the words of the prime minister to his fellow ministers in their meeting one year and three months after the death of the former king. King black , the king of samudio had ruled his kingdom in peace and it flourished and was prosperous, this was largely due to the fact that he had scattered the witches/magicians in the land, during the reign of his father, black had sworn that once he ascended the throne he would put the witches/wizards in their place and that was exactly what he did, he scattered them in the land, arrested, tortured and killed many and yet many escaped while the highly advanced remained in the land disguised.

King black did this because during the reign of his father the witches had unleashed terror in the land, they killed indiscriminately and without Mercy and fought against justice as veracious as they could, anything that was not in their interest was not good and this was how they subjected the citizens to fear. But immediately ascended the throne the tide changed, he destroyed the dark 🌑 sign of the witches/ magicians and instituted the worship of the great God ydrophis belcheri. King black expanded the borders of the kingdom and opened up markets for import and export of goods. Unlike many kings, black married only one wife, queen hazel and they gave birth to three sons davensport, liechty and forlabd. Davensport was the first son,liechty the second and forlabd the last. Davensport and liechty were born out of mysterious circumstances and ydrophis belcheri had prophesied that this two would be enemies. After eight years of barrenness queen hazel finally gave birth to davensport, during her years of barrenness they had remained steadfast and firm amidst criticisms and advices, king black had always answered those who advised him to take a second wife with a laugh, he could not marry another wife as he loved his wife and could not trade anything with it even children.

That was many years ago and now they had three sons. Davensport was born after seven months of pregnancy, he survived this despite several bouts of sicknesses and infections which had no cure at that time. He also showed signs of possessing magical powers his father knew this and decided to get rid of him but with the pleadings of queen hazel he left the child with warning to every ear that had heard of it to keep it a secret till his death.

The second child forland was born freely as every normal human being and he enjoyed the company of his father who taught him wisdom and martial arts . Liechty always hated seeing forland in company of his father he felt that these was drawing him closer to the throne everyday and that was his most deepest desire . He knew it was the right of davensport to ascend the throne as the first son and crown prince but he wanted the throne and swore he must get it, he wished that forland was the first son, anytime his father, king black would die he could ascend the throne using his magic, but now that another magician was the crown prince and their powers were almost the same he would need a more powerful ally and he had started making arrangements in that direction. Liechty hated the fact that his father scattered the witches and destroyed their sacred symbol__the dark 🌑 sign___. He promised himself that once he ascended the throne he would bring back the witches/wizards and institute the dark sign again. These were always what he thought of day but day the more he thought of it the more his hate for his father grew.king black sat majestically on his throne with his wife queen hazel beside him when a soldier walked in , he bowed and said your majesty there is bad news. The king looked at him for a while and asked 'what's the bad news' 

'your highness'the soldier bowed again. 'someone came panting some minutes ago with some news your highness, there is war.

'war?where?' the king asked impatience written all over his face
