" We'll poison them."

" They are a part of us brothers, we can't do such evil to them...if you do this brothers, women will become widows, children will be fatherless, mothers will become childless...I beg you brothers please don't do this." King Elak begged on his knees.

" We have made up our minds, Elak. We don't care if they become orphans, widows or childless. The forest tribe are nothing but a cursed generation, we will be doing them a favor by ending their miserable lives!" King Shaka spoke with disgust in his eyes.

The forest tribe were treated inhumane by the other tribes because of their skin color, it had been so from the very beginning.

Many years ago, Emperor Sushmita

had four sons from different mistresses. Gera; father of the Shebians, Ham; father of the islanders, Dan

; father of the Savagians and Nun; father of the coastal tribe( medean tribe).

King Sushmita's wife Queen Hele, was barren for nineteen years. On the twentieth year, the empress conceived. She gave birth to a son, but the child was different, he was born with a dark skin. The empress was accused of having an affair with a demon, as a result she gave birth to a colored child( back then people with dark skin were called colored.) The child was called Shamgar ( meaning son of a devil). Shamgar was the first color child to be born in the western kingdom.

Shortly after his birth, his mother died. Emperor Sushmita blamed Shamgar for his mother's death. He cursed the day the child was born into the world, because that same day claimed the life of his beloved.

Growing up was torture for Shamgar, his elder brothers and step mothers made life difficult for him. He was lowered to the position of a slave. His father hated him. He was maltreated by all because of his skin color--Deprived of all the privileges given to royals.

Seventeen years later, Emperor Sushmita died from depression. Immediately after his death, Shamgar was kicked out of the palace. His brother Gera, reigned in his stead. Shamgar lived the rest of his life in the forest. He was the father of the forest tribe.

The forest tribe waxed stronger and stronger as years went by. They were blessed with natural resources; timbers, gold, games, herbs and many more.

The other tribes feared that the forest tribe would decide to take revenge on them someday, because of what they did to their ansestor, Shamgar.

" We need to attack them at night when they're fast asleep." King Shaka suggested. " They will not see it coming." He spoke without throwing an eye on King Elak who was on his knees begging.

" We need warriors from each tribe to join us, together, they don't stand a chance." King Elick added.

" Count me out of your evil schemes. I refuse to share innocent bloods." King Elak spoke rising up on his feet.

" You don't have to join us, but you better not stand against us! compared to us, your tribe is weak. If you try to do anything stupid, be ready to bury every single soul in your kingdom including your daughters!" King Shaka threatened.

King Elak knew King Shaka was not joking when he said he would wipe out his entire tribe, compared to the other tribes, the islanders were like bread. He didn't stand a chance to go against them.

" We don't have to attack them at all,

If we should attack them at night, we might lose. Non of us knows the Forest as they do. It has been their home for over a century."

" You're right King Lemech, but what do you suggest we do?" King Elick asked.

" We'll poison them." King Lemech replied.

" Poison? But how?" King Shaka asked unsure of what he meant.

" All we have to do is gather them in one place, like a feast for example, we would poison the drinks served to them in the party. It's easy."

" How can we achieve this? it is impossible."

" King Shaka, one thing I've learned in my thirty years of existence--there is nothing impossible only when you believe it is. The forestians are naive, all we have to do is trick them." King Lemech spoke, a victorious smirk appeared on his face.
