The misplaced identity
"You have an idea who bears the name Lailah?"   He asked the rather in a haste lady who had a child strapped to her back. She obviously wasn't going home because that route she was plying only would lead to the sea.    That was the third person he would accost on that route. And none of them seemed to have an idea who Lailah was.   But he had thought that Lailah should be rather popular given by the thing she had said to him when they last met.    Twas just an experience which he would love to have over and over again.      He looked back briefly at the woman again. She was too young to be bearing such pain. She should be like Lailah, not like his annoying wife.     He was walking towards the end of that path. There was a broad field before him. Like a lawn of earth.     There was another path to the right of the end of that one he was

What you get for being nuts
       "You think that's a good idea?"   The bare-chested fellow with what looked like a short made from the skin of some wild cats said to the two other men in the ship with him.    They were at the shore of the sea and could see from where they were, a man and woman lying on each other as though they were dead.    The other fellow whose bounty beards seemed dusty and grey had told the bare-chested to go and check if the man and woman were still breathing.    The thought felt lame to him in the first place but found a pull to it.     The ship was bordering the death of the waves at that time. Shallow enough for the fellow to step out.      "It's just a look over then you return."    The bounty bearded said. The bare-chested thought for a while, acting as though his inspiration was sucked from the face of the third g

Loe, the surrogate prince.
      "News got to me from your father before your arrival, dear Prince."    The king of that village said smiling. He was royally adorned like every other king. Only that his seemed to be an excess of what you would expect.    Well, twas very much hard to tell if he had done it because of the arriving son of the Duke or was used to it.     "You look very much differently. Do you remember me? It's fifteen years now. You were five when we last met."    The king kept flowing. The surrogate of the prince walked to the seat specially consecrated to him.      The man was fidgeting, he was only there to meet Lailah but had made a mess of it all.    He felt like telling the king about it but couldn't wield the words. Time would test his willingness.     "Bring out the King's special."    The king ordered the att

Lailah meets Ja Lia!
     "Where are you taking us?"    Ja Lia asked. It's been quite a while since they'd been walking through the market square. They had firstly stepped off the ship then they'd started off towards the village.    In the first place, Ja had no exception to it since he was very much alive, as well as the lady with him. And by the way, they had nowhere to live.    The ride on the sea had been perky experience but he wouldn't want to go again.    Poseidon had an eye on him. He could feel the eyes tearing his skin open.     Though the lady knew a part of it, but he was sure that she didn't understand the gist of it all.     "The King's Palace of course. Or do you think I have some wasted house to spare?"    The bare-chested fellow picked on him. Twas a time for a payback. He had been picking on Ja since they started the walk, but he

The game of thrones
       "A news just got to me and if the information is accurate, then you two better sort a way of vanquishing eternity."     The King of Kula said to the two Warriors standing before him. They were dressed in royal skirts with some touch of fibre garments running from their right shoulders to the fall of the waist.    One immediately went on his knees and the second took suit.    There were few chiefs on seat and several attendants going in and out of the palace as though twas some market square.     "Nobody comes in again! Shoo!"    The King ordered at the top of his voice. The attendants scrambled outta his presence and only two were left by the throne. Fanning the king.     Left in the palace with the king were the three chiefs, the kneeling warriors and the two attendants.     There was a leopard tied to the la

The Milestone
        "Where is she?"     Ja Lia asked as he paced the room continuously. Twas a large one. Larger than that which he used to live in before the whole turns and twists.    Lailah was seating comfortably on one of the three chairs in the room. Aside the chair, the room was scanty. There wasn't anything of interest, except some medieval arts of witchery etched in the walls.   Twas a sitting room.     "Come have a seat, I have a plan."   She said, looking sternly at him. She seemed to had changed. That wasn't the Lailah he used to know.     She should had been doing something else or feeling herself. But she seemed rather calm, probably someone had thought her the lesson of her life.       Probably, she might be baiting him. She was sure a con artist. He wasn't going to keep quiet and watch her make a fool of him.&nbs

The Surrogate
      "Come here."    Lailah called, breaking the breath pace. She looked sternly at the man walking towards her. She had no idea what really had turned her on at that moment but she could roast an elephant with the heat swelling in the depth of her whole.    The surge coursing through her spine was crushing and her eyes were tuning. One thing would lead to another and the odds of being ruthless would be ferocious.    All she could see at that moment was a naked man walking towards her. Though the man was clothed in a lose robe, yet she could see his huge erection dangling to and fro.    She couldn't wait to put her mouth to it and make a vehicle of it.    Twas that hut by the sea. That hut where he had lain with Loe. That same hut had she brought the new man.     Far from preyi

When a plot overrides the intended
      "She told me she'll be here."    Ja Lia said, looking from one side to the other. One of the guards didn't seem convinced, so he shot at him,    "But aren't you two living under the same roof?"    Ja only nodded. He didn't know how to explain further.   Explain that Lailah who would show up as the lady told him that she would meet him on the way.   He had been standing by the gate since heaven knew how long and he couldn't even trace her silhouette let alone her form.      "There she comes."   He said finally as he turned to the West of where he was standing.     The two guards were standing at the mouth of the gate.      Lailah was dressed radiantly. Twas some gown decked with several precious stones. He had no idea from where she had gotten the dress.

The surrogate makes himself known
         "Tell me about Havila."    The daughter of the Duke of Ikpala said to Loe. Of course she thought Loe was the assassinated prince.     Loe looked at the lady. She was quite beautiful but not as hot Lailah was. He could find solace in her for the meantime till he would find Lailah or just forget about Lailah.    Getting married to that lady seemed promising as the king had promised him heaven and Earth.    One of the contentions he had was the fact that he was going with the Duke of Ikpala to Havila, to meet his supposed father and for the marriage alliance to be finalized.     He had wanted to escape but had been caught by one of the guards who definitely mistook his advances.    That had pushed up some doubts about him but he had steered clear of related actions that'd kindle the flame of the doubts.

The Helmet of Jin
      "Did you keep this here?"   Ja Lia stood at the front of the door. Before him was a helmet. He knew that helmet. He had borne it before. Twas the helmet of Jin.    The only question he could think of was what he had shot at the lady who was indoor and walking towards to open it.   She opened the door and looked at him.     "What?"   She said confusedly looking at his confused face. She traced his face to where he was looking at. The helmet.    "I should be asking you."   She said. Ja looked at her for awhile then looked at the helmet again.     He didn't know what to think.      "If I knew where it's from, would I had asked you?"   He shot at her. He had just gone to the market square to see if he could buy a Cuneiform or some writing material made from Papyrus. He
