Chapter 1 - THE VILLAGE OF GREAT PEACE AND HARMONY.

Once upon a time, there lived a great village, yes you heard me right the village was alive. The village was so alive that no evil was committed in the land, even the thought of evil will prompt the land to react. Anytime there is danger and evil in the land, a great sound of drums would be heard all over the land. The citizens then gave the name of the sound "The drum of death", because anytime it is heard the evil dower would be killed. Since then, no evil was done in the land and the kings in the land were chosen by the land. The name of the great village was the village of great peace and harmony, all the secret of the land was well protected by each and every individual villager, no villager will dare leak the secret of the village. If you do, you would be banished from the village and you will lose all your belongings which you have which will then be shared within the entire village. Only with nothing will you leave the village forever.

Many years had passed and the villagers had lived in peace and harmony, so the drum of death was not heard for up to 150years, their land was so blessed with fertile soil, so it produced great and bumper harvest. This made all the villagers in the land to be very rich with so much wealth that no one will be jealous of the other or envy another. This made other villages jealous of how successful there were in the village of great peace and harmony, so they began to plot ways of how they would infiltrate and take over the village from the original owners, not knowing the secrets of the land because none of the villagers will leak it to anyone knowing the consequences if they so much as tried it. So it became hard to know a strategically organized way to make an attempt of invading the great village of peace and harmony. All effort to enter the village all ended in disaster and loss of lives of those that stepped their foot on the land.

For so many years, people tried and failed and became afraid to even visit the land due to how even the thought of evil will prompt the loss of your life. Until one day something amazing happened when a woman named Susan gave birth to a child. She was from the neighboring village of Atamunu. This village was known for all sort of evil deeds and crime was the order of the day. The king (His royal majesty Tyokura Tombu II) is a cruel and wicked womanizer. He sleeps with all and anything under skirt, people's wife, widows, young ladies and the rest. He has no single sympathy for anyone, so he kills and also raps young ladies. That is just by the way just to let you know how the village of Atamunu is so cruel and wicked to outside people and also to their selves no form of love now back to the child birth.

Now, something happened when this child was given birth. The same day in which the child was born at the same time the drum of death sounded in the in the great city of peace and harmony, this made the whole villager to be in fear of what sort of evil that prompted the drum of death to be sounded after so many years. So the villagers and the elders of the village all ran to the palace to meet with the king to find out what really happened. When the king finally came out all he could say was nothing, because the great land hand not told him anything yet, so he told the villagers to go back to their homes and be at alert of any form of danger that may before the land, meanwhile in the main time I would have a meeting with my elders to help prepare for this. The villagers then return to their various homes in fear and unsettled minds thinking of what had happened that day.
