Must Read: A Broken Destiny: The Sword Of Vengeance

**************************
I have waited for two days now, just to be sure of what the old wizard said and every day that passes seems to confirm his story. There is indeed another golden destiny; an ungifted whose powers were released before birth. Reports have been flying in from the midlands and the south of the strange man who is just like the mad king. I didn’t want such rumour to be flying around but now it is more than that, it’s a confirmed fact. Something that will surely delay me from my goal as I know now that other equally dangerous people will be after him; the mad king especially as the man was in his kingdom initially. I just got word that a strange man and an old woman were wanted by the great Elphisius himself. If that is true, then it means Lucien wants him just as much as I do. This has turned out to be more difficult than I thought it would.

I summoned Melfisius earlier and he told me that he couldn’t trace the man’s gifts any longer. The last time he was able to, the man was on the path that leads to the midlands. I am quite certain that’s not their final destination but i do not know their final destination. I must find him, this is my best opportunity. Lucien had the gordonds to protect him and an army of soldiers which made it impossible for me to get to him. He rarely leaves his palace but this man is a lone soldier with just an old woman by his side. The woman must have been the one that fought off Elphisius which means somebody else wants the man and they have somehow won his heart. If they get him to whatever they are taking him, it might be extremely difficult to get him back. I must send someone to the midlands immediately; a wizard and a handful of my best men. I want that man before he leaves my grasp; I have waited long enough for this. I deserve my powers to be released just like them; they are neither better nor special than I am. The spell causing me to age slower than everyone else might be very useful but it’s still pointless if I cannot fulfill my destiny. It’s been one hundred and fifty years of careful planning and study, I can’t lose it all now to some persons who have no idea what’s going on. I la!d the foundation for what Lucien is today but his father tweaked the spell causing it to work on only an unborn child and he quickly destroyed the procedures of creating the spell. I was stripped of what should have been mine, it will surely not happen again.

“You scared me , where have you been?” Claudia asked.

"I was checking on something, I didn’t mean to.”

"………………..you are bleeding. What were you checking on?”

“……I fell down chasing a squirrel; I wanted it for our dinner. I guess we will eat something else.”

I laughed and wiped the blood dripping from my lips. She stared at me for a while before heading back into the cabin. I looked back before following her in. I got in and washed my hair and feet before changing my clothes. Claudia kept on staring at me for some reasons, I didn’t know if she could tell if I was lying. I tried my best to ignore her and continue with whatever I was doing. She later turned her eyes away from me and went to one of the bags and brought out two breads with some weird looking vegetables. She cut the bread into halves and kept the vegetable between them before handing one of such to me, I stared at the strange meal as I had never seen such a meal before. She left me to my discomfort and started eating hers.

“What sort of food is this?” I asked but Claudia pretended not to hear me and continued devouring her meal, washing it down with water. I asked again and the same thing happened, I decided to keep quiet and wait for her reply. She took forever to eat the small food and when she was done, she stood up, cleaned her mouth and went towards where the door was. She locked them firmly, took her books and went over to where she lit a candle and started reading. I watched keenly and wondered what I did wrong for her to just ignore me the way and manner she just did. It was quite disrespectful and utterly rude of her, I was quite disappointed. I wrapped the food in a cloth and kept it in my bag.

“I am really disappointed; I didn’t expect such from you. I thought you were matured and all, it seems I was wrong. If you think I have wronged you in anyway, I expect you to discuss it with me rather than act like a little girl.” I said before setting up where I intended to lay my head. I was already on the spare bed and almost drifting to sleep before she decided to talk to me.

“I left my place of comfort to come to this immoral and dirty place to get you and keep you safe from yourself. I put myself in danger as I do this and right now, there is actually no assurance that I will get back home alive and yet, the man I do all this for finds it hard to trust me enough to tell me the truth. I have stayed away from your past because it is not my concern but lying to me over what might cost us both our lives is what is disappointing. It seems you think with your c.ock than with your head, which is not strange for an unlearned man.”

What is she rambling about now, what has my c.ock got to do with anything. Is she still mad because I told her I slept with a woman?

“If you want to fvck me, come out straight and tell me and stop going in circles. What exactly did I do to make you angry?”

“Don’t speak to me the way you talk to your w.hores, because frankly, I don’t care who you sleep with. I am angry because you allowed the same w.hore to follow you here, I mean how heated can one be. Can’t you control yourself; your wife has not been dead for a full moon yet. …”

“….Don’t you dare talk about my wife, leave her out of this….”

“ ……..You cared so much about her that you were busy going in and out of a woman some days back. We are been hunted by very dangerous people and the best thing you could do was tell your w.hore to tail so that while I sleep, you can fvck her!!!

I know you were with a woman few moments ago when I was calling your name. I don’t need magic to confirm that, the guilt in your eyes gave you away. You were thinking of yourself without considering the fact that she might have been followed.”

“…..She couldn’t have……”

" …. And how can you be so sure. I cannot trust your judgements anymore, we leave at dawn. I have always wondered why the best gifts are given to the dim-witted, and you have only added yourself to that list; shame on you.”
