The Watch Man
The story begins on a very sad day when King Zinan of Aldon Empire a peoples person and selfless ruler died due to old age ..and had to decide who to leave the family empire aswell as the responsibility of the Kingdom of Aldon to one of his heirs .....
King of Aldon
it is my deceision and desire that my last born son Zario take over from me as king and he will receive the very same respect that I have received from the kindom and all surrounding villages.
Zeu
Father...Father..you can not do this to me...I am the eldest son and I am the one who should lead it is my destiny to lead!!
Zeu
No father I was born to lead...and here you are taking away what is mine..
King of Aldon
Son the people of Aldon is not yours the Kingdom is not yours but the people of Aldon is the Kingdom and the Kingdom are the people of Alcon..
Zario
Father take rest We do not want you to spend your last minutes giving one last lecture..when u had gave us life lessons all your life
Zeu
This is between Father and Son Brother this does not concern you...
but you have got to know about this since you are not taking this as a surprise the same as I did
King of Aldon
Let it be son
Zeu
yes let it be son..You never saw me as your Eldest son even though I tried my outmost best to please you all my life with all my achievements and most of all becoming general of The Aldon army
King of Aldon
S..son..Help your brother lead the people of Aldon Together as I did you will need each other on this path..
Zario
Father.. I will do my best I promise to lead by your example and to always put the people's interest first before mine and to give my last to anyone needing it more than what I do..
King of Aldon
Son..Take care of yourself you are now King Zario..
Zeu
King Zario ...Father you are not doing this to me....Father..Father!!!
At that moment King Zinan of Aldon gave his last breath and died....while The Four Generals of Aldon Ordained Zario as The new king of Aldon.. while Zeu stand with deep disappointment and a whole heart full of anger and hatred towards his brother....
Zario
Brother...Brother we will lead together A king Needs People to lead if not he can not lead anyone
Zeu
you will lead us to our doom... and this is not the last of all of you ..u will all pay for this
Zeu left the room and this was the very last time he has been seen until 2 years went by as he made is sudden appearance.
Zario
Watch man There has been some suspicious moment going on lately in the Nkaya hill and I want you to go and investigate it thoroughly and report back as soon as possible... you can gather a team of our Elite to assist you
The Watch man
We will so that Sir no need to worry yourself over the matter no more . what you ask will done
Zario
Thank you watch Man.. . you may be eccused
The Watch man
Thank you sir.
The king looked at a photo of his late Father King Zinan and thought to himself how things could have been if his brother had been there with him
Zario
It is 2 full years since the last time I have seen Elder brother and the way he left still makes me stay awake at night.
As the Watch Man and the Elite squad went in the quest to investigate the suspicious movement in Nkaya Hill They came across a cave that had clearly indicated traces of some1 living there..and as they were about to leave one of the elites saw a knife in the cave wall and try to pull it out as it looked liked like the knife that King Zario always have in his Office...This was one of knifes that Late King Zinan gave to both his sons Zeu and Zario when they turned 15 years of age.
The Watch Man could tell that something is not right from the moment they set foot in the suspicious cave...but could not lay his finger on it... and yes ..the cave was full of booby traps and poisonous blades that would trigger off as soon as some1 took the knife out of the wall..
yes the blades cut and poisoned half of the men and caused their death..while the chief Watch Man and few others made it out alive
The Watch man
Are you all okay ?
The men was shook by what happened...and as they were almost out of the cave they saw a man with a long black jacket at the Cave entrance who seem to be blocking their way
The Watch man
W..Who are you?
Zeu
I am here to take what was mine in the first place
The Watch man
W..What do u mean..what was yours?
As the man turned around The men could not believe their eyes...
The Watch man
Prince...Z.. Zeu!
Zeu
I am afraid you won't live to tell your beloved King about my rerun !!
Zeu draw his Sward and attacked the men killing them all with one blow like the speed of lightening he moved and The watch Man could not believe what was happening..
Zeu
This is what the rest or Aldon will get for betraying their rightful king!!
The watch men was not dead as he now came to learn that Zeu is panning to take over Aldon ...He lay there with no hope of ever going to make it to Aldon to report to King Zario.. as Zeu left him there with all the corpses of the men that he had slautered...little did he know that all watch men have Life balls that they carry with them in times of need which they take to extend their live span for 3 days upon till they get medical attention
Zario
it has now been 3 days since the watch Man and his team had gone to investigate Nkaya hill but no one has yet to return with feedback and it is starting to really worry me
Iyonah
My dear you need worry yourself toomuch about it... focus on the tasks that needs urgent attention
Illonka
Father... Father can you help me ..I need to know how to handle my Sward and I have been struggling the whole day with no success
Zario
No problem dear just give me 2 minutes
Illonka
Thank you I will be outside at the Training Area
Iyonah
My dear..just relax everything will be okay..
Mean while the watchman reach the Aldon bushes.. he wa badly injured but the life balls he had eaten gave him strength of 3 healthy soldiers ..he came across a boy who was busy herding his sheep and the boy offered help to him without hesitation.
Zane

The Watch man

A bloody Awakening
Zane
Who Are you?...You are wearing royal Watch Man Uniform?..
The Watch man

The Watch man
I am afraid the Kingdom is in grief danger ....
The watch Man could not bear the pain and fell into a deep sleep for 1 month as the boy was doctoring him during that time until he was able to return to his responsibilies as Watch Man....
Illonka

The Watch Man told his story to Ilonka the same what he had told it to Zane ...Illonka could not believe what she had now learn about her Uncle trying to harm her parents and their Kingdom she began to get so worried and rushed from the hide out to her home to inform her parents
The Watch man
