The quest episode 1 – 2
THE QUEST
Chapter 1
A ancient building stood in the middle of a ancient deadly forest.
In the building were two ladies, a younger one and an older one.
The younger of the two, a beautiful young lady was sleeping while the older was very old, so old that she doesn’t stand up straight. Her name is Dontizu.
Dontizu: (Staring at the young lady who was in bed, still like a statue. Dontizu nodded her head) Wake up Dona, it is time for you to rise up. (As if on cue the young lady suddenly opened her eyes for the first time, in a long time. Her eyes went straight to Dontizu who had started smiling) Welcome back Dona. I made you sleep for a thousand years.
Dona: A thousand years?? What happened? Why was I asleep?
Dontizu: Because you were gravely injured. I had to use all my magic to heal you.
Dona: Why was I injured? I don’t even seem to remember how I got injured in the first place.
Dontizu: You took the Imperial scrolls from Raina . She got pissed off and fought with you. Though I haven’t heard or seen her for a long time, after you both fought; although from my observation I think she was gravely injured too. But now you are healed and strong once again, so I have a Quest for you.
Dona: A Quest? What kind of Quest Dontizu?
Dontizu: Something that I had lost thousands of years ago. I need you to go and find it and bring it to me.
Dona: And if I may ask what is that Dontizu? Tell me what you want me to find for you?
Dontizu: A stone, a magical stone.
Dona: A stone? Just a magical stone? Why is it so important that you want me to find it for you. I just woke up and I need to rest.
Dontizu: (looking so sorrowful) Well the magical stone will make me look young again. I miss being myself and not this hideous face on me.
Dona: But you have powerful magic Dontizu. Why can’t you perform a magic and let the stone come to you instead. You are powerful and I know you can do it.
Dontizu: It is true Dona, but where the stone is am afraid my magic can’t penetrate there.
Dona: (Looking shocked) Why??
Dontizu: I can’t tell you the reason. Just get me that stone and I will explain why I need it. Or won’t you help me restore to what I was before? Won’t you help me…. your own Mother? (Dona stared at Dontizu for a while. They both stare at each other).
Dona: I will do it (she sighs) Mother.
Dontizu: Good my child. You are going to Ampoka Kingdom, that is where the magical stone is.
Dona: (Surprised) Ampoka? Is that not where you came from? Mother why is the stone there in the first place?.
Dontizu: It is a long story, but you are going to Ampoka Kingdom, to the Palace of Magic. You are going to find your way in and work in,side the palace. Then you start looking for the stone. The stone is in Ampoka Palace.
Dona: Okay Dontizu, when am I going on this Quest.
Dontizu: (Smiled) For now I have to start preparing you for the journey you will embark on. This Quest is a dangerous one, you are going to be very cautious.
Dona: Of course Mother.
Dontizu: Rest now my daughter, when you wake up, your journey starts. (Dona lay back and immediately shut her eyes, she slept off immediately. Dontizu smiled.
Ampoka Palace won’t know what hit them.
THE QUEST (A Quest for Power)
Chapter 2
The king and the queen of Ampoka were sited in their various royal chair in the palace. Their only daughter and child, Princess Shaba, was sitting on a chair fit for a princess. The king and queen were staring at their daughter.
King: What do you see my daughter?
Princess Shaba: I see danger, something evil is coming.
King: Ehmm my precious daughter, what did you mean by that? What danger are you speaking of? Please elaborate on that.
Princess Shaba: It is not clear yet what danger it is. But we all need to be careful.
Queen: Careful of what? My daughter, please make us to understand what you are saying.
Princess Shaba: I don’t know. I only sense that evil is fast approaching towards this kingdom. But, there is also a good news.
Queen: Good news? What goodnews?
Princess Shaba: The lost one will be lead home. The one to end all is approaching fast. I can feel it. The time is drawing near, but am sad.
King: Sad? How? Why are you sad my precious daughter?
Princess Shaba: Because at times the good ones are sometimes let astray. But the future knows all. We can not prevent what will happen in this kingdom. We all have to be careful unless, this kingdom is forever Doom.
Queen: Are there any vision you are seeing apart from the one you just told us now?
Princess Shaba: No, I see nothing else (Rise to her feet, then proceed to bow her head) I am taking my leave now (Princess Shaba clapped her hands twice and her maid came out and walked towards her) Tasha, it is time for me to return to my chamber.
Tasha: Yes my princess (She took hold of the princess hand and took her out of the palace to Shaba’s Chamber)
Queen: At times, I wonder why the gods made my daughter, my only child, blind from child birth.
King: Hmm, that is true. But have you forgotten so soon that we were given hope that one day she will regain her sight back once the lost one is home?.
Queen: I know my king, I know. It is not a joy to me when I wake up everyday seeing my daughter in her present condition. My daughter growing up with her blindness. I wonder when the lost one would be lead home.
King: We can’t do anything than to depend on the gods of this great kingdom.
Queen: So true, the gods knows best.
King: Yes they know.
