Must Read: Death Not Today - Season 1 - Episode 2

The trees couldn't even move an inch. Even the omniscient owls weren't speaking, the crickets weren't singing even the moon seemed to have died.

What little they could do, they had done.
Providing shelter and food for the very man that had created them, but they couldn't help but cry as they watched the one true king being hunted like how a tiger hunts its prey, pursued by men with sophisticated weapons even the adopted bastard he called his brother. But they couldn't intervene, no they couldn't only the Almighty Father could.

But help they could and help they would, as the helped him weave a way through the forest allowing him to pass.

"There he is". "Shoot him". Was all he needed to add more boost to his adrenaline propelling him through a cleared path he could have sworn wasn't there four seconds ago. As the guns roared and spoke with thunders. He knew one thing was sure, he wasn't going to escape this onslaught.

He getting here was as a result of his resolve but watching the horrors repaid over and over in his head, he knew he couldn't go on.

"Ouch" he cried in pain as he sought to look for the tree which hit him. But he couldn't find any. Hearing footstep and dog barks approaching he decided to move on, but alas this was the END of the forest and jumping from a cliff of 8,456 feet was impossible not even if he was mad.

Turning to face his assailant, he looked on with dread as they caught up with him. How the Mighty Fall ,he lamented in his heart.

Now surrounded in a semi-circle,with guns trained on him that even if he was fast he couldn't dodge.
Looking down back, he only had two choices;
Stay,fight and die or jump,if he survives,comeback and die. Well, he chose non.

The men began to make way for someone to come into the semi-circle.

The heavens seem to begin to cry, as the moon resurrected from its dark loom and shoned brightly with thunders speaking in anger at the treachery of treacheries that was about to occur. But fate they couldn't change but could alter if they had hands. So little they could do they did. But of what use is it to the looming death on His Highness head.
Oh! What a good man about to die.

The man, who seemed to be their leader, was Ozila the Usurper. Well, he was no high blood, immortal or even royalty. But some people are born rulers while some make themselves rulers.

"You know one thing Stephen. You have always been daddies boy right from time while I had to work for everything.
You got all the love, the girls, brain, even while we were trained in combats, rulership, navigations, courtsey, history and in all subjects and things we did. I was always second fiddle to you. How do you think that made me feel Stephen, hmmmm how?"

"Ozila, jealousy had always been your doom. I told you that no matter what we would always be brothers. I brought you into limelight, gave you a kingdom to rule after father's death and this is how you repay me, by killing everyone I hold dear. But don't be alarmed I am coming for you. And I would destroy you. That I promise".

Turning to face his men, Ozila let out an evil laugh that resonated with the thunder sending an eerie chill into the night.

"When I got into your room and touched your wife. Do you know what she said when I touched her exposed laps?
She said, "Stephen am tired. Let's not go the sixth round and when I didn't respond she opened her eyes as she struggled to scream and at the same time m0an when I was finger f**king her but that was after I had slit and chopped the heads of your kids and sisters. I want you to know if its any consolation, your beautiful wife died while squirming. She was such a great f**k".
