Chapter 5: The priest's prophecy
After the arrival of senior and her junior at king's quarter . The king didn't refuse their visit despite being the rumors about the king and the priest, they were escorted by king's guards and welcomed them to king's quarter .
A very noble and grand house in the village is the king's house , it's walls are made of huge and fascinated black stones bethatched with mud molded over palm fronds with many courtyards and verandas , inside it, it's finely decorated with rich embellishments with tribal calligraphy carved-pillars with ancestor figures flanking besides the king's praised chair .
When they entered inside , the floor was so cold imagining how does the king endure this coldness with his bear feet . The king was sitting on his chair firmly straight to them with no expression on his face . Fastly they bowed down with respect and assume everything is going to be likewise to the king but the thing is also the king is curious with their visit despite being acting all mighty up , in their minds, fortunetellers believe that the king just have another purpose of letting them in rather than listening to them , maybe just being tortured or hanged until their demises or thrown to the streets and shunned by the villagers .
" Greetings from your humble servant your majesty " she said while thinking maybe she could take those words back but for whatever just happened or likely to occur , she doesn't care , only she cares about passing the message she was given from gods or goddess whatever she believes in to itsi respective person on the earth .
"Servant ?! , You're not my servant , from when did you become my servant . You're the servant of the heaven , aren't you " the king's replied in disbelief tone with questioning look in his eyes .
"You're gratitude is immeasurable your highness " she said while she continued with protocol and praises that usually king's love to hear but to king dingiswayo , the things seem different until the priest bothered with the situation and acting according to her own ways now , she doesn't have to be small like a bird infront of him inspite of having all those powers which can destroy the entire quarter in a shut and open . Suddenly , priest filled with impatience and she even tried to provoke the king . " Sure , you probably see me like a pointless witch but the heaven gives me power to see the vision of mtetwa and ....."
" Buuut the heaven gives me the power to lead the people of mtetwa and a responsibility of protecting this land is mine " he interrupted and cut off her tongue as he is not interested in her explanation . But still the senior tried to correct him
"You're wrong king , don't you think that why we're fortunetellers because we're capable not only say lucky to people but also seeing things beyond human perceptions. Let me ask you king , do you know when will you die ? , People say that a king is sacred creature only because he owns the land and it's people but he can't own the heaven because the heaven chooses the king , others think that none is allowed to look up to the king because he might be the human god bestowed upon them . The heaven is above , you can't neglect it's power especially it's representatives on the earth which is us ..
" I see you're talking too much on assumptions and unseen ridiculous , I'm not here to listen on your gibberish again " a king speak like he speak to a complete stranger in a strange way but why he said a word "again" this means they had meetup before like the rumors said .
" King ! , Do you know why I'm here ? , I travelled a long way just to come here " . Just !? This word is not suitable in that sentence.
" I knew it before you come here, there is something you wish to tell me , spit it out before I change my mind " the king said faster than a ray of light . He was just getting disgusted by her presence , his voice sound serious but still mocking
" I came to save you, you're going to die !" She said it with low tone like she narrates it somewhere while her eyes piercing through king's eyes to see if he react in fear . But the king was calm on his chair with no single strand of his hair tremble in fear while he careesing his long beards hair as he put it together the words which came from the senior's mouth . With his questioning and mocking eyebrows bend make a wave which speak " so what " stand loosely .
After a couple of seconds , he asked the senior " what can you do to save me? " he doesn't believe her in thousands years even a inch and now why he asked or request for her help . That's not exactly what he meant , he mean for what is that she have to save him it is probably nothing and she is talking what not he doesn't understand but what he don't want to know at all. Or maybe he is just tempting her to see what she can say . Always king dingiswayo is undetermined person , whatever he thinks remains in his mind , for God's know when he do suddenly spill a human blood .
"A fate cannot be changed but the future can be " a senior replied the king with a riddle the priest is still talking until now , it means she is still alive .
The king asked her " so the rest of my life are a future or the fate ? He asked it out of nowhere not because he wants the answer but still showing her words are useless.
After a couple of seconds , a priest find that the king is not interested in what she has said , however , what she said sounds horrible and shocked and the king seemed not afraid or shaken at all. she decided to mute ,she stay quiet listening to what the king will respond
" Mmh " the king sighed and said " I heard a rampant rumor that you were the lady divine of a late king and he kicked you out of these villages and he sent you to those shabby mountains out there because of ridiculous beliefs of yours for uplifting nonsense and shaken the faith of mtetwa tribe don't you dare threaten me . If you don't have to say it's a relief you should go , you're wasting the time of the ruler of this entire tribe , next time don't make unreasonable visit or you will ended up taste the flavour of crocodiles teeth .
" Have a good sleep , your majesty " the senior along with her junior who didn't even spit one word infront of the king , they stood up and left the king's quarter.
