8 Two kings Two bulls

At the imaginary conversation at the villages of Mtetwa tribe . The villagers were holding the funeral of the senior fortune teller while the cause of her death is king dingiswayo . Some of villagers participated in the funeral only because they pitied her but the majority refuse to mourn and they stayed away from her body only because they were afraid of being left with a curse . At the funeral , the king dingiswayo with his followers sent their farewell to senior fortune teller who saw the Vision of his death . The king said the few words to the body of senior fortune teller which was lying down on the mat .

" Farewell lady divine , you are so pitiful , if you had known your end , I wouldn't exlexp to see you here . I'm sorry because it is also for me to go to rest , I'm tired of this world , a cruel world full of animals and not humans anymore. But you said earlier if I do remember it well , that the fate can neither destroyed nor created but it can be transformed . That is ridiculous , for me I see the way you transformed it , it is the way you are destroying it and creating a new one so what was the point of transforming it. Let's the fate decide on itself ". The king's words sound pitiful but still mocking . He is the one who killed her , there is nothing for him to be sad . But around the people who gathered at the funeral , a girl was dragged by king's guards , she is a senior disciple , junior fortune teller , she was crying a lot because the senior was the only one she had , she was like a mother to her , she was in pain and angry behind the king dingiswayo , she was thinking if she could be able carry a dagger and pass through all that guards and slaughter that throat of his . But all of her thoughts went in vain , all she could do is cursing king dingiswayo .

" You! rubbish king without mercy I will kill you with my own hands , what is wrong did my mother has done , you killed my mother . She was right she was just telling the truth and you were not trying to understand. You will be killed by king zwide like you did to my mother . You will be killed by a cruel death and feel the pain more than she felt , her soul will haunts and hunts you even in the heaven . " Before she continued the king went closer to her , and grab her little face up in his pawn to make her face him .

" You !! Kid don't you dare curse me , did Zwide send you here to say such nonsense ?! . Look ! , The king grabbed her neck and turned her to the side where the senior body lay down ." Look there the one you're calling mother is lying on deathbed and don't you make me make you go along with her . This is the king ! A king himself better watch yourself , what happened is already happened , it was not my fault it was your mother who started this . And death was the only punishment she could get okay !! Keep it in mind you have nothing to blame me " . But the junior spit on king's face this makes king tell his guards to lock her up in the cage .

Despite the fact that senior fortune teller was termed as witch along with her ridiculous beliefs , she is Mtetwa , this land is her home she needs a proper burial but it was different to king dingiswayo , he ordered her body to be burned instead of buried , it is among of the rules in their tribe to burn people who commit traitorous sin . The senior body was burned to the ashes , her soul vanished along with her prophecy . None after that believe what she said , the king prepared for the war against zwide , the king Ndwande . The two days before he went to war , he sent a message to his son Shaka ;

" My beloved son , I wish you a happy life and I believe you will come back with a victory .The people of mtetwa will cherish the fruits you planted with your own hands . Please my son , you must protect this motherland , all of us are relying on you . Don't give a chance your enemies to bring you down before you protect your people . And don't you ever try to revenge on my death if I will be killed around in this war I'm going . Wish you a good luck "

A reporter arrived with a message from king dingiswayo to prince Shaka and he told him everything that he was told by the king dingiswayo , Shaka didn't believe what he heard from his father .

At the battlefield , the king dingiswayo met his foe king zwide . " I'm surprised , people are saying that " The enemies sometimes meet at the narrow bridge " but I'm afraid that you will be my enemy forever but now we are meeting at this full scale battle which is not even the narrow bridge now I'm afraid that you will be my friend and not enemy " the king dingiswayo's voice heard by Zwide's soldiers as a dragon swing his wings in the air , even he is far way he is still seen and heard because he is tall , muscular and giant . But this didn't make his opponent Zwide tremble .

" Ooh boy !! , I heard that you sent for fortune teller to see the Vision of Ndwande , but she failed and you killed her tssh ! For God's sake you even kill a mere fortune teller because of how deliberately you are to seek secrets about our land . Don't you think that Ndwande is strong than that ridiculous belief that you have ?! , Ndwande's future can not be determined by the magic power !?" Zwide said unaware of why that fortune teller was killed

" Are you sure" dingiswayo asked , he is probably tempting him despite that he knows for himself that he failed to see the Ndwande vision.

" I'm sure , if it is not , you would not say such sweet words earlier to bribe me for not killing you today
