Corbin went out and met Santura. She was dressed in black and darkness surrounded her.
“Greetings the great” Corbin bowed his head.
She nodded her head.
“What message do you have to deliver to me?”Corbin asked.
“The returning of the spirit is at hand,death…death…looms like the wind around the entire CHOLA and your wizards aren’t exempted” She announced sniffing the air.
“The spirit,what spirit and why death?” He asked confusedly as she started floating higher.
“Corbin you’re a wizard,the greatest of all. You should find out yourself but…a greater war is at hand” Santura delivered.
“Wait…”
Before he could talk she disappeared into dark smokes.
” what am I going to do now?” He thought as he returned to his room.

Crowds of students dressed in blue trousers and blue suits with an inner wear of white long sleeve and for the girls blue skirt and a blue suit with an inner white long sleeve.
The school was one of the biggest in Ghana, students from big background attended the school.
Mandy pulled down her car by the school gate.
“Alright kids make sure you keep out of bad company and be superb good okay!”
“Yes mom” They chorused.
She pecked them on their cheek before watching them go into the school. She reversed her car and drove off.
“Hey Sisco,you look good” His two classmates approached him and they exchanged handshakes.
Khole left him and ran to meet her classmates.
“Guys it’s nice seeing you again like this f_cking holiday was just so terrible” Fransisco said and his friends laughed.
“Mine was the worst,I didn’t get to go out cause my dad was home all through like I felt like a prisoner in my own house ” Fenuku his friend said.
“See who has a house, church rat” Adjo teased him.
“I thought your dad was to travel till the next two months how come he came back so soon?” Fransisco asked.
They were walking slowly.
“That man can be so unbelievable and untrustworthy” Fenuku said and his friends laughed at him.
“Guys I’ll be back” Fransisco excused himself.
“Where are you off to?” Adjo asked.
“Where else if not the library. You and supernatural stories” Fenuku said.
“Chicky heads I’ll be right back” Fransisco poked their head and ran off to the library.
{Library}
Fransisco as usual was looking for the continuation of a supernatural story. He searched from one shelf to another still no progress.
“Gosh where the hell is the part two? I know it’s in here” He said and his eyes suddenly caught something that shone gold.
He went closer and just as he was about observing it he heard the bell for assembly.
“I’ll be right back” He said and ran out of the library.

CHOLA EMPIRE
TRAINING FIELD
The clashing of swords was the only sound heard. Almost hundreds of soldiers were training and fought against each other.
Prince Ampah was their trainer,he wore a long red robe and he looked serious as he fought.
Alessia hid by a tree spying on them. This wasn’t the first time she was spying on them during training.
She had her own sword which she used in practicing on her own. She had been spying since when she was five years old.
Her zeal for it grew every day and she was determined to become the first female warrior among the slaves.
While the training was still ongoing, a dark smoke hit the chest of prince Ampah and he fell down coughing out blood.
The soldiers stopped and ran to him.
“He has been poisoned,take him to the chamber” A soldier announced.
Prince Ampah was already turning black with green veins that appeared on his arms and forehead.
Alessia gasped and ran out from there before someone mets her.
*****
Queen Lazebel’s Chamber
Queen Lazebel sat on her throne smoking pipe,while Princess Charlotte sat sketching something on a paper.
Her hands were moving extremely fast with her eyes closed. In some seconds she was done.
“Mom I’m done” She said.
Queen Lazebel looked at it before sighing.
“It can’t be understood, it’s written in another language which I doubt it’s existence” Queen Lazebel said drawing a large round of smokes into her lungs before releasing it out.
“Mom I….” The alluring noise coming from outside interrupted her.
“What’s that noise?” Queen Lazebel asked throwing away her pipe.
“Hope the enemies has not invaded the palace?” Princess Charlotte drew out her sword.
A soldier ran in bowing his head.
“Greetings my Queen”
“What’s up with the noise?”
“It’s the prince,he got poisoned by air and he has turned black”
“What!!” Princess Charlotte exclaimed.
“Where is he?” Queen Lazebel asked.
“In his chambers,the magicians has been trying their best to stable him but it’s still the same”
“They should get an antidote” Queen Lazebel queried.
“They did but found non”
“Oh my gosh! My son! Who dared poison him!” She lamented as she ran out of her chambers followed by princess Charlotte.
*****
The slaves were working nonstop on the field. The sun was so hot like it was going to fall down on their head.
They all stopped to rest a little since the commander had drifted to sleep under a tree.
Two soldier came out of the palace,their faces were strong and ugly.
The slaves sprang up immediately and started working.
“Where is Alessia,the healer?” A soldier asked.
Alessia almost urinated on her body out of fear. She wondered why she was been seek for.
“Are you all deaf?” The second soldier yelled.
Alessia raised her hands up and she was asked to come out. They dragged her inside the palace and the other slaves were worried.

“Just hope positively” Mandy replied.
“Mom I want to tell you something,and you’ve got alot of explaining to do”
Mandy stopped what she was doing and faced Khole.
“What’s that?” She asked.
“Mom yesterday when I got to Fransisco’s room,he was shirtless and I saw the scar” she said.
“And?” Mandy urged her to continue.
“I know you’re not gonna believe this but you have to. I… I..saw a gold light shine directly from the scar. I was baffled and I decided to tell you. You might have an explanation” Khole said.
