The king, his queen and three elders of Ampoka Kingdom were seen discussing the affairs of the kingdom.

King: My elders I greet you all, thank you for honoring my invitation to come quickly.

All Elders: Your highness may you live long.

King: The reason why I called you all here is for me to tell you that my daughter Shaba saw a vision last night.

1st Elder: A vision? What is the vision all about?

King: She said a great evil  is coming towards this kingdom that we all have to be very careful now.

2nd Elder:  Evil? Well let that evil come, we are going to defeat it as we have defeated others before.

Queen: That is what we are afraid of, the vision wasn't clear this time.

3rd: What!!? How? That can't be possible.

King: That is why I had invited you all here, so that we can tackle this matter together.......(Two men rushed into the throne room, where the meeting was been held. One was gravely injured).

1st Elder:(On sighting blood, he exclaimed) What is this? Omiku and Oki what happened? Why is Omiku bleeding? Who did this to him?

Oki: My king I greet you, my queen I greet you, my elders I also greet you (They all nodded their heads) I and my brother went to fetch water when an unknown whirl wind came and blow him away from the stream . I searched for him everywhere around the nearest river surrounding Ampoka and I found him bleeding like this near Ka river, the one down at the outskirts of Ampoka

Tasha: Yes my princess (She grab hold of the Princess hands and lead her to where Omiku was, she placed he princess hand in Omiku head).

Princess Shaba: I heal you Omiku, son of this soil (The wound disappeared immediately and everyone in the room began to sing praises to their gods).

Omiku: I can't feel my pains anymore,  Oki I am healed (Turned to look at the Princess) My Princess, thank you so much. Thank you for saving my life in the brine hands of death. I shall forever be grateful (He kneels down before the Princess).

Princess Shaba: Stand up and do not kneel before me for I am just like you. Rather give praises to the gods of Ampoka not me.

Omiku: Okay my princess. My princess there has to be a way for me to repay you the kindness you have showered on by saving me from death.

Princess Shaba: The days are coming by when your help shall be needed Omiku son of Gobi, when that day arrives you will repay me back with your help. You can go.

Dona: My name is Dona. I am searching for Ampoka Palace. I came from a very far distance, please tell me the way from here to Ampoka Palace.

Pon: You mean you are going to Ampoka Palace? The palace of Magic?

Dona: (Smiling down at the young man) Yes the same palace.

Pon: Okay. Take the road by your left down there( he said pointing at a road one meter away from them), till you get to the end of the road then you take the road by your left again.
