Senior's Death

From the imaginary conversation on the other side, we see king dingiswayo got the message from his great enemy Zwide that he is coming to attack them and be prepared for the war .

This shows that how the rumors fly so fast , he did sent for a priest to foresee the future of ndwande , it declined hence this indicate that the king is weak and he's not a true ruler bestowed upon hence people will loose hope and there's no future for them since their enemies are strong enough to overtake them . But that's not the king dingiswayo overview , he thought to himself, that bastard and his tricks will go down to his feet and beg for mercy

The mtetwa tribe came into crisis of war with Ndwande and Ngwane tribes , this will bring calamities to the people of Mtetwa tribe, for God's sake , Shaka was away while fighting with Ngwane tribe, he was not aware that his father is going to war .

The senior fortune teller was trying to convince chief dingiswayo from not going to the war because that war was his death , but king dingiswayo didn't listen to her , he insisted to go as he doesn't believe in the prophecy , he wanted to go into this war to ensure safety of his people and eliminate his enemy Zwide along with his whole army.

" Please your majesty , this war is a fire which will burn you alive, don't go near it , you will ruin this tribe, there's no possiblity for you to win this war , I beg you king " senior was begging the king mmh !! this seems seriously

" hear this !!?? , Listen if I won't go , who will protect this land ?! , Will your goddess that you believe will help my people and save me huh ! The king asked as he doesn't even have to wait for her explanation but the senior try it in her best to stop the king and fulfill her duty that she came with it all along

"There's a way for you to protect this land " she said as she's so sure that way exist and it is gonna work.

" Mmh and what's that way ? Tell me " the king sound curious but still mocking

" To change the future...... , you can change the future of your son Shaka " the priest said it in serious tone but actually the king got tensed up and he is now turn in to this witch's lie

"What do you mean" the king asked with curiousity but still didn't want to hear any ridiculous explanation

" Your son Shaka is prophesized to protect this land in the future but in the way of protecting you and save this land .....just kill him " the senior said without even take her eyes off the king she said it directly

Surprisingly the king asked her " How do my son involve in my death ? " before the senior fortune teller answered the king , she turned her head and look at her junior who was sit still and silent all this time , she looked her with a very sorrowful eyes in which there's something she meant . She looked her for a moment which was disturbing the king as he was waiting so long for his question to be answered .

" You don't have any answers ?, It seems like you've got nothing left to say , so stop persuade me ." The king said

" No I'm not persuading you , I'm trying to persuade the future to it's right place , i feel something is off , I mean if that vision which I saw was a normal thing then it's a thing which the heaven won't make me see it then it'll be probably you will never see me here ." She answered the king as she was all hear when the king asked her and she forget that she wasn't listening to him , all she was doing , she was deep in thought and feelings to her junior .

" The future can be possessed but not the fate , the fate can't be destroyed nor created but can be transformed . Your son shake is an obstacle to your legacy , he must die instead of you even if you think he is the future of your people you're wrong , he'll fail to protect the pride of this tribe on the future . Since the heaven is angry with you cause you abandoned it a long way, the ancestors decide to punish you for that , zwide will definitely kill you , you must hurry to prepare this offering to our ancestors , ancestors are cunning for the blood of yours , and if you won't give this offering I swear you will loose the chance to protect this land as there will be no future " the priest said a very long and convincing words such propaganda won't make the person like king dingiswayo understand .

" I see through your eyes in your heart that ,you don't have any traces of faith to our great warrior Shaka , the only thing you want is my son to loose his life , but I trust him he will always protect this land even after my death , my spirit and the spirit of our great general senzangankona will be with him in tears and blood " the king assured senior fortune teller that everything will be alright

But as you know these so called fortune tellers , they are so persistent when it comes to what they believe , they will do anything for you too to believe in it

" It was your fault to raise the kid who is'nt yours , then why it's so difficult for you to kill him ?! Huh , you sent his father to the death , what do you expect ? You think with your small brain that you rear the little fox but you rear the tiger , the gods choose you to die for that tiger to survive so later he can destroy all of your dreams and expectations that you created for future , this is punishment I tell you , there's nothing of you dreamed will become true , this land is abandoned as you abandoned the gods king !? She said in a loud voice which echoed every corner of king's ears

She stop and breath then she continued " This kid named Shaka is dangerous more than you can imagine , he is like a ghost sent to take your throne , you can't leave him alive "

" You naive old hag fortune teller , stop talking rubbish , did your devils from hell sent you here to revenge about what my great father did to you in your early ages , he kicked you from here because of your nonsense you talked to my father that I won't become a good king and you failed to revenge to my father , then you want to get your revenge from my son " the king was so furious to cut the senior's tongue

" That's completely not true , as I said to your father , you weren't the good king from the beginning , so stubborn and you believe in your own ability and you did forget about what heaven bestowed upon you , you did forget about it's blessings and mercy hence you're the reason to all this calamities which will arise very soon " the senior said to the king as it's probably his fault

But the king didn't get it from what makes sense his son Shaka is also a reason to his death as he must sacrifice him to the hands of the heavens to solve this mystery . He asked the old woman who was still standing in front of him with all bravery aura as there is nothing will happen to her after this .

" Why do you insist on killing my son !?" The king said it with intimidated voice . " I'm the fortune teller and I see the future , have you ever seen the two suns in one sky !? Never !!!!! if you die , your so called son will uplift the new huge war among these three tribes , people of mtetwa will suffer , their bodies will turn into soil , and their souls will wonder here to there through these forests , this land will turn into the sea of blood , nothing will left rather than a dead nation with a vicious king " The senior answered the king like simple like that

Unexpected moment comes when the king's anger aroused and for god's know what is gonna happen to this old hag "Don't you dare speaking ill about my son !! , that mouth of yours I will cut it into pieces , let me show you what I'm better off " That was a moment when the senior will regret coming to this furious king right now

The king was very furious , he sent one of his guards to bring his dagger inside of his quarter , his concubines were trying to stop him for what he was willing to do right away but their words were nothing at the moment .

Without late , the king dingiswayo kept his dagger near the neck of senior fortune teller and said " in order to cut the roots of misfortune is to kill the one who is seedling them , farewell senior fortune teller" That was a probably a fearful time she see but she was still acting all mighty and brave as that won't change anything and there's more awful things to come more than her death .

As when she closed her eyes , the king told her " if you were a really powerful priest why didn't you know that today you are going to die , and why don't you beg for mercy or trying to stop me "

" That is a weak sense of yours , if the heavens send me a date for my death , what do you think will happen before that date arrive , aaaa and ... Why don't you ask me how will your death will be like rather than being concerned about mine mmh !?" Such unbelievable bravery aura , the senior is at a death door but still have the gut to mock , this makes the king's anger grows

" I'm.not going to ask you that question because there is no such a time for that and that won't probably happen ..... For God's sake who knows that the one who predict for my death is the one who is the first to die " when the king tried to kill senior , her junior beg for forgiveness but the king's guards grabbed her and dragged her away while she was screaming for mercy

" No no , please your majesty , don't kill her , she is like a mother to me , PLe ..pleaaaasee don't do that !!!!!! " She was crying to death what will also probably caming after her from this madking .

Those junior fortune teller's words were nothing at that moment . The king didn't tolerate the nonsense which was going on , he slaughtered the senior fortune teller's neck and her head fell down like a ball while the blood drops are on the king's traumatic the body wets blood and the floor was drawn with senior's blood , and that was her end
