The moon went dark bright that night. An overwhelming sound was heared, a sound that brought calmness,and peace. A sound that pronounced accomplishment.
A position of leadership,dignity and honesty. This is the land of our fore fathers. A land filled with honey, a land that promote humanity and self development. Judan is a poor man,who was 91 years old.He has a wife and her name is Rosabel. Rosabel was just 86 years old.Rosabel couldn't give birth for Judan and she feels unhappy anytime she seats beside her husband and she kept telling him that he was close to his grave and anytime he would join his ancestors.
Judan was on sick bed while Rosabel was on her way to the market to get Judan some herbs and other food stuff.It was already late before Rosabel left the market for herbs. On her way home,she met a boy whose name is Jadel. Jadel was seating beside the river and he raised up his head and he saw Rosabel coming to his direction. He got scared but Rosabel told him to be of good cheers that she is not here to harm him. Rosabel asked doing outside during this ungodly hour. And Jadel explained to her that he overhead his uncle speaking to his wife that he wanted to use him for money ritual and he had to run for his life. Then Rosabel asked if he could come and stay with her. Jadel thought of it and said yes,so they both left. Rosabel sighted some of her family members including that of her husbands in front of there house. She then moved closer and she saw them crying then she looked beside her and she saw her husband's grave. she then ran and wept rivers of tears.
After the death of Judan,Rosabel had no choice than to accept the way things were going.Rosabel and Jadel now live together, Rosabel really loved Jadel that she had to let Jadel take her husband's room. Jadel had only one friend whose name was Joral which was an hunter. He learnt from his father who was a great warrior. Jadel learnt how to hunt from Joral, he was a brave and wise hunter.
On this fateful day,Jadel was doing a random cleaning of the house. While he was cleaning Jaden's room which now belongs to him. He came across a box which was hidden are the corner of the room. He was afraid to touch it so he ran and called Rosabel. Rosabel and and Jadel went to Juden room and she saw the box Jadel was pointing at. She herself became afraid but Jadel as the brave one had to use one mind to open the box. Rosabel then sat down because she was old and she couldn't stand too much. Jadel opened the box and he and Rosabel opened their mouth as they saw the inside of the box made with gold. In it was a book and a key. Jadel then took the book and wanted to read them Rosabel told him to read aloud because she could not longer see like that. Jadel read the book aloud,there was a map and a short note there with three staffs which belongs to the town named lagma( Judan's land) if anyone get to find it he will be crowned the king and also lagma will be one of the respected town ever. Immediately Jadel was done reading,Rosabel stood amd told Jadel that "you are the choosen one". Jadel was shocked at this statement,Rosabel then told Jadel to get prepared in the next three days he ould live for the journey of destiny.
After Jadel had his breakfast,he ran to Joral ( his best friend).and he saw him on the way to the stream,Joral was confused when he saw Jadel. Jadel then told him they needed to talk so jadel took Joral to his room and showed Joral everything and Joral opened his mouth and he was not able to close it. Jadel then told him to prepare that in the next two days they are both going for the journey. Joral got home and he wasn't comfortable,he could not even eat but he was busy thinking about the journey,he had no one to share it with because he both lost his parents in a war. Nobody was there to help me figure out things. While Joral was thinking,Jadel was busy preparing for the 'journey of Destiny'. Joral then made up his mind that he will follow Jadel.
ADVICE
If his parents were still alive he knew that his parents might encourage him or discourage him from following Jadel but he knew that they will surely choose the right choice for him since he knew that that he has no parents and that Jadel also ran away from home because of money ritual so he had to support him and he is not good at hunting,and that he can still help him to survive within the few days for the journey.
Now in the third day,Jadel and Joral were both ready for the journey,they took all they needed for the journey. Tears rolled down Rosabel's eyes as she prayed for the two young friends. After the prayers Jadel then hugged Rosabel,then Jadel and Joral took their spear and began the 'journey of destiny'
In another town was an herbalist who knew about the three staffs,the herbalist then ran to the king of his own and informed him about it. The king of this town being a selfish one sent for his warriors and he told them to get prepared that they were going for a journey.
The next day, the warrior had gotten to the king's palace,all prepared for the battle .
And the king told them they would attack two boys whose names are Joral and Jadel that the warriors should bring both of them. The king's daughter whose name was Romal overhead the king's discusion with the warrior.she felt bad about her father selfish attitude, immediately the warriors left for the journey.
Jadel and Joral walked for 15 years and they came across a rock which they sat and discussed. Joral told jadel tht are you sure the thing this book is true? We have walked for 15 years and we have not gotten to where we are going. As they were still discussing they never knew that the warriors were around them so they could not do anything. Jadel then hid the book and the key under the rock which he sat, Joral and Jadel got captured by the warriors. When the warriors took both of them to the king,the king then sent for the herbalist and he came immediately and when he saw them he recognized them. Tye herbalist asked them about the book and the key,both of them said nothing (a game) this action got the kid angry and the king ordered the warriors to beat both of them until they confessed and they should both be locked up in prison. The king's daughter felt pity and she planned on her mind that she would help both of them out of prison.Ramal went to her father do she tried to talk to her father but her father had a selfish heart refused to hear or heed her. But rather he sent her away with anger. He then called the senior warrior and 15 other other warriors should safeguard the prison so that Jadel and Joral won't excape. Ramal got worried as she thought of what to do, since this is the 5th day Jadel and Joral are here and have not eaten anything. Then one of her maiden saw her worried and she walked up to her to find out wat was wrong with her. Ramal really trusted this maiden and explained everything to her. Then the maiden told her that she has a way out then ramal asked her to talk then she told her that they should give her those warrior sleeping pills. Ramal smiled and jumped up with happing to get the palmwime ready,it was late and ramal took the palm wine which has a sleeping pill to the warrior pretending to appreciate their efforts. She all served them round,after few mint they all slept she then called the maiden and they unlocked the prison and told Jadel and Joral to run for their lives she then gave them two horses loaded with food and water.
Ramal helped Jadel and Joral on the horse and they ran as fast as they could,Ramal and her maiden ran back to their chambers. Early the next day,the king decided to come check the prison and he found that the prison gate is opened and the warriors still sleeping. The king got angry and he called the senior warrior that they should go and search for Jadel and Joral immediately they left and also ran faster but they could not find them. Ramal and her maiden rejoiced when they heard that they could not find them.
Jadel and Joral ran towards the rock and Jadel got down and he picked the key and the book and they continued their journey. After 2 years they came across the cave which thy had been looking for. They rejoiced and they both approach the door then Jadel opened the gate of the cave which made a very very loud noise and they both went it. Immediately they saw an ancient eagle who has lived over 500 years and the eagle called their names without asking them,they got frightened then the eagle told them to calm down and they did cause they were brave. The eagle then took them to where the staffs were, the staffs were shining and they look really attractive. Jadel took the three staffs and gave it to Joral to hold them. Then the eagle gave Jadel a diamond ring while Joral a golden ring and he told them to go, immediately they left the cave the eagle died.
They both started another journey back home, on their way they came across a big snake the snake was very big and long. Joral sighted it and he came down from the horse and as he was about approaching it the snake raised it's head and bit Joral, Jadel saw this and he ran to help his friend so he killed the snake. Joral was already injured all Jadel could do was to help him was to apply first aid. then Jadel helped him on his horse so they continued their journey. After two days they started moving close to their town (lagma) but Joral was already weak and he died that night which made Jadel cried butter tears, then Jadel buried his best friend and made a convenant that when he becomes the king he will build his palace where he buried his friend and he will make sure that a feast is being taken place the day his best friend died.
Jadel wasn't himself that night but he continued his journey and he rode his horse with anger,after a day journey he got to lagma which he has arrived in.
Immediately Rosabel heard the voice of Jadel and shouted his name then Jadel ran to meet Rosabel. Rosabel hugged him and she died slowly on jadel's arm.Jadel cried in pain that he couldn't eat for about 7 days because he was consumed with the bitterness of him losing his mother and best friend.
After six months he called for am elders meeting and he brought out his staff. The elders shouted and said many people have tried but they failed.some of the elders praised him while some were jealous and got angry and said why can't Jadel inform them before he left,Jadel apologized. The next day people father's together because of the fast spread of news even some people from other villages came to witness the event. Jadel was crowned the king, immediately ramal came in and hugged him. He was very happy to see her and she was happy too. Jadel narrated the story to the people and felt sorry for him. He then made an order that the king's palace should be moved to where he buried his best friend and the elders stood up and told him to make another request then he said it's final and the king's daughter would marry her. Then she agreed and the people shouted joy and Jadel cried because of his friend and his mother could not witness this.
The moon went dark bright that night,an overwhelming sound was heard,a sound that brought calmness,peace,a sound that pronounced accomplishment. It was the sound of a prince (jadel's son)
The town was filled with peace and joy and they all lived happily ever after.
