Darasimi coughed suddenly and opened her eyes at once.
…
The palace has turned into confusion.
The King’s sickness continued waxing
stronger every minute. Everyone unhappy
and everywhere, quiet. The Doctor had
invited three more Doctors into the
palace.
“Within how many hours, he was still in
the living room some hours back
shouting. What sprung up just now.
Tony? Dan?” The Queen was wondering.
“This is beyond our wisdom. I guess we’ll
have to take him to our hospital for
continuous tests.” The Doc. uttered.
‘Let’s go there now!’ The Queen replied”
…
‘I guess we’ll have to take a short rest
here.’ Daniel suggested.
‘I’m hungry presently.’ Darasimi replied.
‘I honestly don’t all this! Had I known, I
shouldn’t have saved his life.’ He uttered.
“No.. You don’t talk like that, its not
good” Darasimi uttered.
‘Hmmn.. Yes, its normal but..’
“No BUT!”
‘Let me go and get some fruits.’ He
uttered.
“No.. Its dangerous to eat in this place,
fruits that spirits abide in..” She uttered.
‘We have to take it easy.. Are you
alright?’ Daniel faced her.
“Yes.” She replied.
“I don’t want us to even go beyond here.
According to what we do hear, greatest
hunters don’t even pass here or else, na
death sure pass oh.” He said.
Dara sighed. “But this princess…” She
shook her head.
‘All is well!’ He replied and smiled.
••••
Tony just gave birth to a baby boy. He
had been in the hospital hoping to hear
the Doctor’s congratulations to him. He
was so happy and jumped for joy on
hearing this. He rushed home to quickly
get his wife some food.
He was in the Kitchen cooking happily
and singing, he had forgotten he had
asthma he suddenly had an attack and
was rolling on the floor, no one was at
home to assist.
…
The King’s condition was still the same.
The Queen rushed back to the palace and
called on the priests apologizing to them
to help her husband and forget the issue
of him not serving their god.
They decided to help him. The King was
brought back to the palace. It was
getting late then, things turning around
to evening. The priests tried all their best
but didn’t know the way out. It was Chief
Kolade that got the pastors that visited
the palace and prayed for him.
“His destiny depends on someone’s life.
Without that person, he’ll die. What God
told me is that by 12:00am if the person
isn’t in this palace, he’ll die.” The Pastor
uttered.
‘Who could that be?’
