Made in Africa - The Genesis


Story by Olubunmi Olajide Daniel 


The Genesis

     It all started in 300 B.C, We have 3 kingdoms 👑  in Africa, Naggai, Pageria and the jonkazi, each kingdoms has its own ruler but the king of jonkazi who is also called the warrior king is the over all ruler of Africa, he coordinates the order and the peace of the land of Africa.
The warrior king had two children, Amba and Zuma.
Amba is the first born son of the king, but he wasn't the king favourite neither was he the people's. He's proud, arrogant and doesn't care about anyone but himself. No one fights better than him in all the three kingdoms, he's the best warrior there is in Africa, And there we have Zuma, he is the second born son of the king, the king loves him and so do the people of jonkazi.
  It was winter, the last month of the year and the tradition of Africa according to the warrior king of Jonkazi is that the people of Naggai and Pageria will come to Africa for feast, which happens once in every year. It was time was the year's feast and all the kingdoms were gathered together, king of Naggai, his wives, his two daughter and his people and also the king of Pageria, his wife, his son and his people. Few moments after their arrival, the feast began, there is music, dancing, foods and wine and of course girls for the warriors to have sex with.
In the course of the feast, the warriors king raised a glass to celebrate another peaceful year that has past, after his wonderful speech, the king of Naggai stood up with a glass also,  and made a proposition to the warrior king that he would love it if the warrior king can allow a union between his own eldest daughter and the warrior king's son, immediately after he made that statement, the whole feast was quiet and all on going events stopped simultaneously. Why?? Because the warrior king is the most feared king in all of the three kingdoms, no one dare talk to him that way in public occasions.
And without hesitation the warrior king answered and said NO to his proposition, and so the feast ended. They all stayed the night in the land of jonkazi and once it was dawn, The two kingdoms were on their way back to their lands.
The king of Naggai was upset about the way the warrior king embarrassed him at the feast, he has a dreadful desire towards the throne of the warrior king, he know he can't be crowned as the warrior king, so he plan on getting his eldest daughter to marry the eldest son of the warrior king, so when the king dies, his daughter will be the Queen of the three kingdoms.
Weeks after the decline of his proposition to the warrior king, the king of Naggai decided to take a step, he called the eldest son of the warrior king, Prince Amba, prince Amba left the kingdom without notifying anyone on the invitation of king of Naggai, when he go there, the king had a lot to say and amidst of all he said he made mention of his previous proposition to the warrior king about the union of prince Amba and his first born daughter, princess Gwen. Amba didn't give him a reply at the moment, he left there telling the king that he will think about his proposal. He rode back on his horse the same day back home so that no one will notice he had left the kingdom to Naggai.
Days after the king of Naggai made this proposal to him, he has been thinking about it and he made a close observation on how his father treats his brother, Zuma, how he show him care and attention more than he does to him. He agreed to take on king of Naggai's proposal and marry his daughter, Gwen.
He wrote a letter to the king of Naggai, telling him he has accepted his proposal and he's ready to marry his daughter, and that he's in for whatsoever he has planned to make him the new warrior king. Days later after the king received this message, he wrote back to to Amba, saying he will send ten of his best warriors to the border of the kingdom, he should meet them there so he would take them through the routine where they will not be spotted in order to kill the warrior king. Amba was afraid of the plan to kill his father, the warrior king, cause even though he's the best warrior in all the three kingdoms, he was trained by his own father, who has the spirit of the wolf 🐺 . The spirit of the wolf is not trained for, it is earned by goodwill and modesty, the warrior king, Amba's father wasn't a warrior but he was kind hearted, so he was chosen just as his father before him, and it is passed down once the person possessing the spirit dies. So he is afraid that even if he successfully kill his father, he knows the spirit won't come to him, he knows where the spirit of the wolf is going, which is his brother Zuma. He thought about it for days and after much consideration, he knew sooner or later his father would die and zuma will still be chosen by the spirit, so he went ahead with the plan. He wrote back to the king of Naggai, telling him on how to go about the plan.
They had time to prepare for the attack and finally it was time, the night came and the ten best warriors of the kingdom of Naggai was waiting for Amba at the border, he got there few minutes late,  but he apologized for coming late, and they proceeded with their plan. He took them through the tunnel that leads directly to the warrior king's chamber, they took out his guards and went in to face the warrior king himself, it was eleven against one 🐺 ...... The warrior king asked Amba why he would side with the enemies over his own family, but Amba was in no mood for conversations, he drew out his sword and so did the ten warriors that was with him, the warrior king was without armor and weapons, but he put up a fight, he sermon the spirit of the wolf 🐺  inside him and his eyes turned red, then he had the strength and speed of seven men combined, when they saw this happening, they got scared at first but moved towards him simultaneously. He killed everyone of them, except Amba, Amba was lying down injured on the ground, the warrior king calmed down and his eyes and body were back to normal, he asked Amba why he sided with the enemies, Amba told him he showed him less care, less love and gave everything to his little brother, that he's the eldest and he should get all that first before his little brother, they were both so deep in the conversation when one of the warriors who was unconscious but presumed dead by the warrior king came up from behind and strike a sword towards his heart, which pierced through his heart and came outside and the blood splashed on Amba's face, he fell down and died,  with his blood all over the floor. The guards downstairs heard the fight and had sounded the bell for the whole warriors to gather at the entrance, they all rushed in into the king's chamber but he was long dead before they got there.
Amba went back to his own chamber and clean his body of the blood of his father.
The king of Naggai and the king of Pageria wrote their letters of condolence and comfort to both prince.
Without the warrior king, there's no one to uphold the law, because the people of the kingdom fear no one except the warrior king and his judgement.
It has been three months after the death of the warrior king, and it is time to choose a new warrior king because without the warrior king, the three kingdoms of Africa will fall into chaos, to choose a new warrior king, both contestant have to fight each other and whosoever wins will be the New warrior king. Everyone knows Zuma is not a warrior like Amba, he doesn't know how to swing a sword or hold a shield up but the people loves him. There's just three days left to the fight, zuma thought about throwing in the towel before the combat, he was just up stairs in his chamber when one of his made came in to make his bed, she called his names five times before he could answer, he was lost in his thoughts on how he could possibly win the combat, he got so scared that he talked to the maid on what her opinion was, and she told him to stand up for the people because this is when the people need him the most because if he doesn't and he abandon his people, they will suffer in the hands of Amba, she said that based on the character of Amba, she told him he will make a great king.
And the day of the contest has come, the two kingdoms Naggai and Pageria were present in the kingdom of Jonkazi for the contest, and the two contestant stepped out on the field, and the bell was sounded and the fight began, Amba dropped his sword just to humiliate Zuma and show the kingdoms how pathetic Zuma was, after dropping his weapons, he threw a punch towards zuma, zuma was able to dodge it, Zuma kept running around the field thinking of ways he could possibly win the fight, after time of roaming around the field,  Amba jumped zuma and started punching him in the face, he kept punching over and over again and all of a sudden Zuma eyes turned red, and Amba froze, A punch from zuma to Amba threw Amba 10 feets away, Zuma moved towards him and punched him again, then told him to pick up his sword but out of fear Amba couldn't, he yielded. Everyone kept chanting Zuma! Zuma!!  Zuma!!!, long live the warrior king!. Zuma is crowned the new warrior king and he has the spirit of the wolf 🐺
During the coronation, King Zuma made an announcement that Amba his brother will be the new general of the warriors in the kingdom and also changed some ministers of the council.
After the coronation service, Zuma went back to his chamber to draft a new plan on how to take over the kingdom from Zuma and he's a step closer to achieving that as the new general of the warriors, he wrote a letter to the king of Naggai about his plan which is already in motion and told him that he might need backup to take on his brother.

The civil war - 10years later

Jonkazi and the Two kingdoms were at peace with zuma as the warrior king, he was able to maintain law and order just like his father and the father before him. The lands were peace but there was a snake 🐍 in the kingdom which is Amba, Amba being made the general of the warriors in Jonkazi had access to the military power and he had time to infiltrate and corrupt the mind of the warriors of Jonkazi with help and resources from the king of Naggai, he gave money to those he needed to give money to and also made sure the news of his plan never got to the warrior king, Zuma. He had 10years to prepare for the coup to overthrow zuma as the warrior king and for him to emerge as the new warrior king with princess Gwen of Naggai as his queen just as the agreement between him and the king of Naggai.
He wrote a letter to the king of Naggai informing him that the plan will go down in three days and that he will need the military power of the kingdom of Naggai to overthrow zuma and take the kingdom from him. Click here to continue reading
