Chapter 7 - RISE OF POWERS

Maria remained devastated and confused, not knowing what to do.

Let me teach you how to control your powers, because this is just the beginning, said midwife".

What do you mean by just the beginning?,asked Maria.

Well, you can say it that way cause you only got the ability to freeze things, more abilities will soon manifest so the earlier you get used to it the better, replied the midwife".

Now let's get started,Clear your mind and meditate, let nothing distract you , she said.

Am trying but it's not working, said Maria ".

Then your trying is not enough, try harder, she replied ". Continue practicing untill you manage to control yourself. She said.

Though her powers had began to manifest little did she know that more is needed and that is her paired *seer* whom no one knows his or her identity at that time.

We must find the seer as soon as possible,said the midwife ".

What do u mean by finding the seer?, for what reasons do we need aseer? Asked maria.

Well, your powers need the control of aseer, without one you will lose your self,. replied the midwife.

Hhh..how? She asked.

Well, aseer is your direction,he sees the future and tells you the problem and the solution too. Preventing you from miss using your powers of making mistakes.replied the midwife ".

Am confused, said Maria". No need to get confused,said the midwife, with time you will understand every thing, patience! Just be patient... Said the midwife ".

On the other hand ,the prince of former king Emorimori who went to stay with his Aunt, princess Asio went hunting and accidentally enter the feared forest.

You all will wait here, am not going hunting with you guards today, he instructed his guards".

But my prince we can't do that. Replied the guards, if anything bad happens to you we will get punished by the Queen your aunt, said the guards".

I said you all are not coming with me and that is an order not a request, yelled the prince angrily".

Not knowing what was ahead of him, the guards obeyed him hence he went alone.

As he was galavanting up and down look for animals to hunt in the bushes, he saw none.

Did all the animals go for a meeting today?, why haven't l seen even the smallest of all animal like a squirrel in this bushes, "said the prince talking to himself",

As he was still murmuring to himself, cames a deer.

He glimpsed and saw a deer with much joy he chased after the deer, but unfortunately the deer enter the forbidden forest.

Without thinking twice he still ran after it in the forest, suddenly the deer disappeared. That was when he comes back to his senses that he had entered a forbidden forest, with much fear he knew he wouldn't survive in that jungle

Well the forbidden forest is known by three kingdoms because it's in there center like aboundery. In one side there's Getom kingdom, on the others there's Abela kingdom and last is the fallen Morungatuny kingdom.

As the prince treked not knowing where he was going he fell in a pit and was unconscious.

While the hunters from the new Morungatuny kingdom lead by Maria where hunting, they come across the prince, son of late king Emorimori laying unconscious in the pit.

Who is this guy? Said one hunter ", yes who is he because no outsiders comes to this forest said another hunter".

I think he's from a wealthy family, look at the clothes his wearing like of the royal families, said another".

So should we help him and take him to our village for treatment or we leave him to die here? Asked the first hunter".

Well if you ask me, l suggest we take him to Maria the she will decide weather to treat him or not , replied the other hunter.

Hence they come to an agreement to take the prince to Maria. They carried him not knowing his identity and took him to the village in where maria stays.

Who is this and why did you people bring him to me ? Asked Maria", well we thought it would be good to bring this stranger to you first before helping him cause we found him in the jungle injuried, said one of the hunters".

After a close inspection Maria discovered the boy to be from a royal family judging from his clothes and expensive rare jewelries.

Is this not the jewelry the prince was wearing when we took him to Abela kingdom? Asked Maria while taking to herself "

Akelle, go bring Okirror here immediately, she said in angry voice" .

Immediately Okirror come , Okirror are these not the princes jewelries ? Asked maria", l remember them very well, she continued, if his indeed the prince, l will skin him alive.

Well am not sure since any royal member can also have similar jewelries, so be patient let him get treatment first then we shall see, replied Okirror"

This attracted the attention of the former chief who knew the prince well, he decided to go and check, upon reaching ,in ablink of an eye he recognized the prince but after he heard Maria's words, he knew if he tells her the truth she will kill him on the spot for the sins of the father, so he kept quiet.

Doctor when will he wake up? Asked Maria with much eagerness". Well l don't know but he will not die that's what am sure of , replied the village doctor".

If truly his the prince, l will skin him alive, said Maria ".
