    ( The Ultimate Quest To Fulfil Ancient Prophesy &  The Restoration Of A Happy Earth )

    .      CHAPTER 1

    The End Of A Kingdom &The Destiny Of Her Heirs

    Pharaoh Musi IV of Egypt: How did it happen .Why know one ever informed me of this happenings  even ones .

    (Pharaoh Musi talking to himself as he analyzed the text he read from the archives).

    It is a practice among the Pharaoh 's  to visit the Grand Museum at least Twice a year in order to see how to restore and improve past glories, and a duty for the Chief Book Keeper in the house of Pharaoh to brief the Pharaoh on interesting and important historical matters or events .Mustos Gados the chief book keeper had brief the Pharaoh on important matters and suggested things that have impacted Egypt over the years as it grows from strength to strength economically and it battle prowess . Egypt defeated all it enemies, pay back countries who raged war  on her in the past defeating them and taking some of those nations nationals as a slave . Mumucan Biszo the 3rd in command as a book keeper had an uncle who is  the chief cup bearer to the Pharaoh, and  was persuaded by Mumucan to convince Pharaoh to make him the chief of the bookkeepers a task difficult to execute unless something special. Basdri Amee ( Mumucan’s uncle)thought over the issue and considered it as a wise plan . Per all that Gados have ever made known to Pharaoh there is one which is much deeper to be revealed than to be kept in the dark which is Nubian invasion of Egypt which is  the most difficult and humiliating than those they’ve paid back raging war against them and defeating them.

    . Mumucan Biszo was researching in the Grand Museum one day and he came across a text that reveals how the Kingdom Of Nubia led by King Mvoni Mavdee invaded Egypt controlled and ruled  Egypt for  over 40 good years

    . Nubian's took gold , goldsmith, herbalists , mathematicians and some of their warriors. He also found out during their rule they brought about dams , architecture designs , artifacts making and other advance farming methods. They inter- married the Egyptians and the blend was nice .Biszo's next move was to find out why Gados is keeping this information as a secret from the Pharaoh. He interviewed the very old men in the village where Gados is coming from and per his investigations find out that Gados has half of his lineage from Nubia. His great grandfather married a beautiful Nubian girl who born into the family and are strong , intelligent and brave people. Some were hunters ,architects and due to  Gados father ‘s eloquence  in understanding text, tradition and medicine  he was appointed by the then Pharaoh who was the grandfather of Pharaoh Musi IV as his advisor on health related issues . The father of the current Pharaoh deems it wise to appoint the son after the demise of the father and this how Gados became the chief book keeper  of the Grand Museum of Egypt. He is  a person respected and revered by his colleagues and all Egypt because of his relationship with the Pharaoh.

    Biszo Mumucan knew it will take more than something so special to dethrone Gados from his position. By knowing  the ancestral root of Gados he plan with the uncle Basdri Amee to make Gados lose his position  . He removed a text that contains the history of the Nubian invasion handed it to the uncle  with plan to make the Pharaoh see the text . Basdri normally serves Pharaoh Musi with wine during  special occasions but this time round he asked his subordinates to rest he will carry out the duty . Basdri carries the drink to Pharaoh in his balcony  in a position to turn back intentionally dropped the text . Pharaoh’s eyes were glued at the paper that  lies on the floor ,and immediately asked of what have falling and Basdri Amee replies it a text which contains a history about Egypt. The Pharaoh asked whether  is a good record or a bad one . And he replies a very bad one it all about The Kingdom of Nubia who have colonized Egypt in the past ,and the Pharaoh upon hearing this  became furious and immediately summoned Gados to appear before him .Gados was terrified at the  presence of the Pharaoh. The record (booklet ) was handed to him  to read to which he read after he said he had  been silent on the matter due to  the fact that some of the Nubian's have married some of the Egyptians . The Pharaoh raged in anger and due to respect he have for Gados asked politely how did it happened? Gados ask the Pharaoh to give him few days to gather information to explain things for him clearly concerning the Nubian colonization to which he agrees . The Pharaoh gave him 3 days to gather information in order to inform him well on the historical colonization by The Kingdom Of Nubia to which Gados agrees to do within such time frame. The Pharaoh sat down alone and start pondering over the issue as he was talking to himself as how no one ever informed him about the story .

    Cont ..( The sitting time by the Pharaoh to think )

    Pharaoh Musi : Why must you keep it a secret because we have intermarried ? This is  Egypt and Egypt does what Egypt  feels she should do and who says what should be done me the Pharaoh i decides what should be done and what not to.

    After the 3 days Gados came with the very details of what transpired about 1200 years ago .

    Gados : I have brought the  historical records in the colonization of your beloved Egypt the pride of the world to you oo mighty Pharaoh the ruler of all the regions of the Nile and beyond. It is my pleasure that you deal with Nubia as you wish for who stands in the way of the wishes of the great Pharaoh.

    Pharaoh: You didn't do as you should you are lucky i was thinking of asking Mumucan to summon  Abiud Mossit the interpreter of the traditions & annals of Egypt to appear before me to tell me what happens to the one who refused to render his service to the Pharaoh which punishment awaits him, and the  information reached  me his not well.

    He immediately grab the text from the hands of Gados with some haste and begins to read .After reading the entire text he said to Gados to leave .

    Pharaoh: A nation ruled my Egypt for forty  years almost half a century carries away her gold ,architects ,warriors , beautiful women ,precious marbles  took tax from the local farmers and married my people . And you are hiding all these from me as i have dealt with countries who just smelled at the smell of Egypt’s perfume( Pharaoh talking to himself in anger) . Immediately he called one of the guards to call him the general of the royal army General Moktakb Modri to appear before him immediately. In few minutes time the general arrive as ordered

    General Moktakb : I have arrive at the feet of the great Pharaoh for service

    Pharaoh: What happens to a nation that have colonized Egypt, took away it gold , beautiful women ,architects and even warriors

    General Moktakb : Pharaoh Musi does what he feels is the best for him and to give my humble suggestion Egypt must  fight and fighting  to redeem the image of Egypt is a must

    Pharaoh: Good that is why you are my Chief Army General. Spread across this information to the other Generals for  Egypt is going to war in 23 days time prepare the men ,tell the royal horse reserve  to prepare me the finest of the horses as chariot also get me the finest of the swords to train with

    General Moktakb : I will do accordingly  the great Pharaoh .(As he bow his head a little to respond and left ).

    In the next 2 days after the conversation with the General the entire Egyptian army began training for the invasion of Nubia.

    Pharaoh: Egypt will wipe out all those who tannish her image and correct the sins of their fathers . It will be writing in 21 days time i Pharaoh Musi IV have defeated and colonized Nubia the pride of the far Nile to even beyond ( Pharaoh giving commands to his army and lifting their  moral) .

    The news reach King  Mosro Moyori of Nubia  Egypt is planning to invade his country. He took it not serious as he proclaim he have a formidable army that can handle Pharaoh’s army after all they will becoming with chariots but they have a master warriors in the arts of swordsmanship in the highest level which  can pull down any army . During the night the Queen of Nubia was troubled with the issue and couldn't sleep so she called the husband the King .

    Queen Nfiledzi Moyori : My King the ruler of all Nubia the tiger the hunts in the night and day ,the fearsome spear handler, the lion from the loin of Mva Moyori himself my love listen to me your Queen Nfiledzi .Let send a message to the Pharaoh to ask of what he wants if it is gold ,slaves, architects ,farmers whatever he wants so we wouldn't go to war with Egypt.

    King Mosro Moyori : No it won't happen no Nubian have ever been a slave on a foreign land never and not my era .

    The king was furious with the queen for saying so and  she kept mute and they all slept over .

    During the morning the King summoned his captains to start training his army for war against Egypt. When it comes to military capabilities both Egypt and Nubia are formidable sides but differ in strategy and fighting skills. The Nubians do have swordsmen who are good and some are assassin's whiles Egypt is a mastermind of chariots and spear .

    As Events Unfold & The Shift Of Strategy

    After five days of intense  training Pharaoh called his generals to inform them about the change of plans . We will fight them to the tune of their favorite style - Says the Pharaoh . Initially the generals  did not understand what he mean but became clear as he called them the following day  telling them to prepare the troops to get ready they will be leaving to invade Nubia that  night. As if it a joke something that have not been done before that Egypt will go to war in the night was what all the Egyptian army were discussing among themselves.

    A horn  was sounded 5 times and the army matched to strategic positions to be ready to go awaiting the command of their commanders . After the generals have given the master plan to the commanders they move the troops towards the direction of Nubia .The troops moved to the direction south of the Nile .They were moving towards the white Nile area with  some in canoes ,and others on chariots . The Pharaoh himself was not part of the group that is heading towards Nubia but will be in Nubia to fight alongside his generals. He was being dressed in a gold colored linen ,gold colored breast plate and also gold colored  helmet . The wife came around to wish him well in the battle .

    Fatis Hasia : I wish  the great Pharaoh my husband a victory over all Nubia and beyond. Never has Musi IV ever been defeated when he ascended the throne ,as his of a heart of lion and a tiger. His sword cuts like razor through the hearts of his enemy ,his rage can never be quenched in battle for his the god of war  . Let your eyebrows arouse for this battle for in them arouses your perspiration of anger through your eyes . Let Nubia turns to ashes as you wish let her inhabitants serve you as their one and only master and their ruler .Go my husband for victory.

    Pharaoh Musi: That is awesome inspiration from you my queen i will come back into your arms with the head of the King of Nubia when he refuses to be my slave and will carry away the abundance of riches they have acquired over the years and return all that is Egypt's back here for you to see my queen.

    Muni & Zara : This is serious was thinking the Queen will beg the Pharaoh from not going to the war besides he have a lot of troops and she is rather encouraging the husband to go to the war. I learnt Nubia is a  dangerous place to go if you are not known can be assassinated - says Zara to Muni .

    Muni :I agree with you if i was the Queen i won't allow him to go. Never i won’t .

    Immediately she said never and the Pharaoh well dressed ready for battle arrive at the place  and what is never he asked?

    Muni & Zara : Oh nothing Mighty Pharaoh( In trembling )

    Pharaoh: Nothing you say to me by this time . Immediately he said so and the news reach him the troops are far advancing towards Nubia so they are awaiting his presence. As he heard that he called one of the guards to carry the two ladies to go and lock them up in the ladies cells and let them be fed till he comes or be released when the news get to them he the Pharaoh have won the victory. Pharaoh in one of the finest decorated chariots with much faster horses of  white blended with gold and white apparels matching the color of the chariot  moving faster towards Nubia . Meanwhile in Nubia the Nubian  troops are preparing for  battle coming on in 18 days time  . They named it the battle of the white and red Nile . Special forces , assassins even some special selected children were trained to be able to kill the Egyptians whenever a soldier falls and is not dead but badly wounded they should finish him up . As these plans and many were going on with some practicing their archery training and spearmen also training.  The Egyptian army led by Pharaoh Musi IV is moving with intense force matching towards Nubia. After about 30 minutes time they stopped and made their horses drink some of the  water to refresh them. They place their weapons at  key strategic areas and the movement begins, and  as about 12am  the Egyptian army led by the Pharaoh have reach Nubia. The map was studied once again previously was in Egypt whiles talking to the generals .

    Pharaoh: We divide ourselves into 3 separate groups one goes left to where the troops (camp) are sleeping the other moves to the left into the main city whiles the rest are to block the entrance of the city forming a barricade no one escape .I will move straight through the middle to capture their king .

    Meanwhile the King of Nubia is sleeping in his palace . The guards are patrolling the place .As planned the Egyptian army moved straight in that direction before the Nubian troops could say Jack the Egyptian army have surrounded almost half of their troops killed dozens of them. Few assassins who run from the camp to go and meet their girlfriends in their houses managed to escape the Egyptian troops that moved into the civilian area upon arriving at the camp there were little to do as they  kill some of the Egyptian troops but wasn't enough to stop them . Pharaoh upon reaching King Mosro Moyori's palace throws his spear straight into the building knowing the Nubian army have been neutralized . The Nubian King jump from his bed so as the wife. The aunty ,sisters and the brother run towards his gate . The King immediately ask the guards what is going on and was told the Egyptians have arrived in Nubia and  he became terrified because he wasn't anticipating war in such a time .Then after sometime he took courage to fight . The family was convincing him to surrender but he refused said he rather get killed than to surrender. The guards were being destroyed by Pharaoh’s army and there his junior brother came to the scene a tall strong figure assassin Molu Mava .

    Molu Mava : I think it time you run with your family through the Boweedwia ( a tunnel that runs through the ground to the bank of the White Nile .

    King Mosro Moyori : No i won't i am not a coward what will people say . It will be written in our annals one day a king run away with his family leaving his people behind and who is that King . King Mosro Moyori all of Nubia he exclaimed with boldness no way lions don't run from battle no .Am surprised you of all people telling me this what have gotten over you.

    Molu Mava : You see the entire army have been rendered hopeless with exception of few guards even if we defeat this army there are other armies in the city we cannot defeat them all .

    King Mosro Moyori : You can go i will stay and fight to my last breath .Few moments after saying all this Pharaoh 's army overpowered the 400 heavily guards outside to enter his main compound (palace) . He was prepared meanwhile Molu Mava knowing the entire lineage  might be wiped out from the surface of the earth convince the queen, the mother ,the nephew ,niece and the sister to follow him for their protection to which they did . He sent them to a building in the room with a log fire the room was very dark with the log fire they reached a place where there is a very large basket he told them to sit inside. When they sat he told them to hold it tight . He then cut the rope that holds the basket and the basket started moving with speed through the ground. Mava went back to where the king was to fight alongside him  . When he got there King Mosro Moyori is being killed and his in a pull of blood. He cautiously run gently to carry his wife in the other room and held towards the other basket and he cut it and they run through the tunnel towards the direction of his mother and the others .

    Meanwhile the first basket has reached a destination where there are holes in the tunnel that fast moving desert wind is propelling the basket to move at a steady speed . It wasn't an easy experience for them because they have to cover their faces and hold the basket very tight . When Molu Mava and the wife got there same happens to them . After 52 minutes later they got to the bank of the river and were hurts because they couldn't stop the basket entirely the basket hit a tree stump at the bank of the river to stop which affects them as some got hurts at the thigh ,some foots and the others back depending on their position as the basket hit the stump . Mava and the wife when they got to the bank he jump and hold the small rope that is left after he had cut the rope that holds the basket in the dark room. He managed to regroup the family and informed them about what had happened and why he did that .

    Mossito Mava : Molu why did you do this leaving your brother behind

    Molu Mava: Mother you were there you know he wouldn't listen i did what i have to do to preserve my family i can lose you all .

    Mossito: So what happened to him?

    Molu : He was killed in cold blood the time i got there i managed to escape that is why am here with my wife she is  3 months pregnant you know mother i can't lose my first .

    Mossito: You are right you did your best i tried convincing him but he didn't listen pride took over him like by now he would've be with us . But how come you know this way but he didn't?

    Molu: Mother he knew when father was alive he showed us all the annals of Nubia and the secret journeys when the King wishes to escape danger or assassins. Nubia is well noted for it assassins so our forefathers thought wise to have a secret place to run to incase assassins tries to assassinate the king .

    Mossito: So where from here and  where are we heading  towards ?

    Molu : We move on through the white Nile till we find a place that is good for us then we settle there and start a new life . Molu had carried some foodstuffs immediately he went to set a fire in the bush catch some fish in the river and they prepared a meal for the whole family. When he got some strength he rushed  into the bush to find some tree to build a small canoe for the journey . Molu did not only show how skillful he is in battle but versatile and creative. Before going into the bush he assess  part of the river to know what it contains . He realized the river contains some stones not so big but can cause some havoc on the way .After coming out he sat to draw the type of canoe that can take the 7 of them in number and some foodstuffs. He allocated a space for foodstuffs  water, luggage and where the children will hide .Molu went into the bush with some of the nails he brought from Nubia ,a very strong well built nail about 8 inches thick. In his search for a huge tree to cut for the canoe landed him in a place of sounds . There were no timbers in the forest so he went further and further into the bush  in search of a large tree to cut . He followed the sound of the birds  which led him to the deepest part of the forest where he met 3 creatures unknown to him coming closer to him until he hide inside the thick bush to see what is coming. He was surprise at the shrubs and herbs he was walking into now has led him  to a very deep forest waiting to see the unknown. After in about 45 seconds time hiding and peeping through the thick bush he saw two large iguana's fighting  intensely ,he realized that this particular kinds of iguana's are extremely large to his imagination and fighting intensely. The tree he was aiming at was the exact location the fighting was heading towards as he remember a dream he had when he was very little at age 8 . Molu recount in his dream he was playing with the friends using their kites, and his was at far because he had the longest rope that connects the kite . In about few moments time the rope got torn and he chased his kite because it was precious for him  . He chased and chased until he found himself very deep inside the forest upon his sight falling on the site where his kite has fallen he saw two large animals fighting and bringing the fight towards his direction. He hide to watch what was going on about few seconds time the mother called him and he awake from his sleep and hence the dream . He didn't see the last chapter of what might happen but he knew it time to school so he had no right to say anything but to go bath and go to school.

    After remembering all these he realized this the time to see the fight between the creatures live till the end of  the fight . The fight between the two creatures went on and on until they uproot down the tree he was aiming at to cut  . He was lucky the tree didn't fall on him ,and was cautious of not being found by the creatures in that moment the tree fall. He was not surprise at all the animals could do that because of how huge their body ,tails and the energy being displayed is so massive .But to his surprise the falling of the tree had kill many animals as they are under the tree lifeless. Upon the falling of the tree the two heavy creatures  run away . With his axe he cut the tree into desired shapes and sizes for the canoe also for log fire and shelter. He managed to take some of the animals that had been killed by the fallen tree home . When he got back to the place where they base the mother was angry the family was in anguish as to what might be keeping him so long in the forest . The only man among them not knowing his whereabout caused them to be terrified when he was far away in the forest. He calmed them down and narrated the whole story to them . After he had finish eaten he slept over and during his sleep he had another dream he led the family to another country via the Nile ,there were many obstacles but they managed to reach . The last thing he saw and awake was the wife had given birth to a baby girl the baby girl grew up and also gave to a baby girl and this baby girl was mysterious can see things no one see. Molu like the wife to bore him a son and for him seeing her giving birth to a female he didn't like it but encourage himself after all is just a dream he said to himself

    Mossito Mava : You've been lucky today even though you kept us wondering, you brought item for the canoe also foodstuffs, herbs ,rabbit ,grass cutter and very big antelope. What should we do we them now ?

    Molu: Mother you are the women do whatever you want to do with them

    Mossito Mava : No as the man you need to be part of this decision process ,you know we can't go back to Nubia we can only move forward to a foreign land we need to know the number of days we will spend here and plan the amount of the food items we will be using, the one for the journey and the one for starting life in our new country. Journeys of this nature needs to be planned very well so we don't get there to find ourselves wanting.

    Molu : Mother you are right, i have a plan in mind but not with much insight as you've explained it . Well i think we should smoke the antelope it will be reserved for our food in for  the new country we will settle in and for the rest we should roast the two rabbits for the remaining three days we will be spending here because i have planned by the next two days i should finish with the canoe building. The next day i rest the following day we move .The grasscutter will be used for the journey smoke it as well

    Mossito Mava :I think i agree with your plan we will do just as you said . The journey ahead we have no idea what is going to be  like but hope it goes well .

    As Molu said so the women prepared the food items accordingly. The time they were preparing the meal Molu too  was building the canoe . He built the canoe  with the back  wider than the front with a sense of the back to carry the luggages and also a resting place . It was left with the final phase which is completing the front and using cork large one he found in the river to cover from  the downside of the canoe to the top of it to help it prevent the canoe damaging faster when it get to hit  tree stumps in the Nile .  He designed the paddle and the oar that will propel the canoe forward on the Nile . He made two oars one small and one big in size also 3 paddles all small in size so the sister and the mother could paddle when the need arise . After he had done that  he went to take his bath and had some rest in order to gain energy for the work the next day . When he wakes up he saw food is ready so he just went straight to the kitchen to take his food. He really enjoyed the food . The food items they could carry was tuber of cassava and in the forest as he was coming home he saw yam which he managed to bring some home together with the animals the tree fell on . He ate yam with soup made with the rabbit meat .As he is enjoying it the women have gather in one place thinking about how the few days ahead will be as they are about to begin a journey to the unknown that will define how their lives are going to be . Meanwhile the children are busy playing upon seeing them there he remembered when he was a kid in Nubia how he plays with his brother now the late King of Nubia.He started crying inside until he realized if he continues to do the crying he will be weak motivation wise and leading his family might be difficult. Molu is well built man , very strong agile and hardworking the family know him as such so getting demotivated might affect the entire family as he reasoned into the near bush to have some bird sounds to take his mind off the negative thoughts coming into his mind. He got what he had  plan ,for there were interesting birds singing in a small valley in the bush and there were a large white rock in there which he sat on to listen to the echoes from the birds. He was a little relieved from the anxiety that want to overshadowed him. After some moments he went back to their tent to pack the luggage’s and other items for the journey ahead . After about 30 minutes time he ordered the women to come along with the children still playing around. He informed them about the journey ahead and each and everyone’s role to play . He sent them to where the canoe is and made it clear to everyone where he or she will be sitting and the role . The children will be sitting inside the resting place with the luggage with his wife pregnant, the mother and sister will paddle alongside him when the canoe needed more speed to move . He shown them how to paddle the canoe  ,and was keen on the sister because she is a young  and has the youthful exuberance to paddle harder alongside him unlike the mother whose quite advanced in age than the sister who might not do well as them. After setting everything ready for the journey they went to sleep to obtain maximum energy from the rest for the journey.

    Chapter 2

    The Journey To The Unknown

    Early at dawn around 4: 45 am Molu called the rest of the family from sleep it time to go . They carry their belongings into the canoe . He ask the sister and mother to help him push the canoe at shore whiles the children carry the oar .  In a16 minutes time the canoe is at the bank of the Nile . It is  now time  to go and Nubian custom demands that the elder among the group offer a prayer before they takeoff .

    Mossito Mava : As we take this journey may it be well with us . May the journey be fruitful and all obstacles be far from us .

    After the saying of the prayer they took of . Molu was the oarsman steering the canoe as the sister paddle 's with him. The journey was initially cool . They move straight not having any plan of where they will be settling as they move on the white Nile .  In about 5 miles away from their previous destination a strong wind arose  on the White Nile . The mother had to join the two to paddle .It was a difficult moment for them as they've not experience such moments before. The canoe was almost at a point of capsizing but Molu was strong to held the oar  firmly and asked the sister sit on one side of the canoe as he shifted too in order to balance the canoe not falling on the left side . The battle to keep the canoe on top went on for 28 minutes . Water entered the canoe and they have to collect the water from the canoe . The wind stopped and everything was calm .  They pause a little to have a meal as they enjoyed the smoked antelope Molu brought from the forest . They really enjoyed their meal and gathered strength for the journey and the remaining food they kept for the next meal section . After sometime they took off  and this time the journey was cool as the wind this time round was on the direction to where they are going. The wind moves them faster  than initially. After in about 5 and half hours  time they begun to see houses far  . The speed of the wind was quite slow as compared to when it started .  Because they've had an experience of how the wind changes direction they decided to dock on land and explore the area because they realized there are settlements along the place they've reach. Molu proposed they land and find a place to settle which they all agrees on . They landed and pull the canoe offshore ,carried their belongings and headed into the bush area . On their way they found some  houses scattered around but didn't go closer but rather went straight. There they met a man from his farm coming with his wife and two children who ask them where  they heading to in his language but they couldn't respond. Molu and his family only understand  the Nubian language and a little Arabic from nearby kingdoms he often goes to hunt he learn Arabic from them. The man's son  understands Arabic but not in the house so the man has to do sign language in order for  them to understand him . Initially was  difficult for them to understand the kind of sign language he was executing but after sometime they understood and he took them home.

    At home Molu was able to communicate with the man's son in Arabic as he narrates everything from what transpired in Nubia to this unknown place . And the boy informed the father about the whole  issue and the boy's father said to the boy to tell them they are welcome to Kabavi village in Tanzania. After that moment the man asked them to go and take a bath and rest for the time being in order to recover for the long hours of tussle on the Nile. The man ordered the wife to prepare them a special meal which she did . So, the visiting family rested for about 4 hours . A meal was ready for them ,so they just wash their hands and they ate a very good rice with vegetable stew . After that (Sato Mavinga )the man as they call him called his son Similoli Mavinga to interpret his sayings to them as he begins to informed them about the place and how custom demands they should behave .

    Sato Mavinga :(  He said to his son Similoli to tell them as the two families all sit around a big table to interpret the laws of Kabavi village and Tanzania at large. He said to them Kabavi village have a river they all fetch from ,the river extends to the other side  through the forest into other villages and towns to which no one is allowed to visit on Fridays either going to bath, fish in at where they fish or  fetch water. He explained to them where they fish which is a little bit further from where they fetch water for their use . No one goes to another's land to farm or take a produce from ones farm without the owners notice you could get banish or face a fine if you couldn't pay banishment is the sole option available for the victim. You don't bring rabbit meat from the bush on Mondays it a taboo. It is believed the first people who settled here we're chased by war as they entered the forest for their survival there was no food . They search and searched but nothing until the time they're about to give up just to sit and due is when they saw a rabbit eating a grass . They chased the rabbit until they landed in this place even though they couldn't see the rabbit in that moment they saw a mango tree with 4 mangoes on it to pluck and eat ,as the next day which was the Monday they saw the rabbit near the river drinking they didn't even struggle much to kill it for a meal which survives them . Immediately the elder among them declared they settle and also no one among them should kill a rabbit on this day for this is the day of our meal . They were 11 in number. In here we have big ,big rabbits he jokes off with . So from that day till date we don't kill rabbits on this day we call it the meal day of the fathers . No one goes to the forest to catch rabbit on Monday if you do it means you've disrespect the ancestors and considered a taboo a big omen that follows the family who does that. You can go and bring any kind of game but never a rabbit on Monday else you will be banished with a fine . You don't have an affair with a woman in the bush it also a taboo which the end punishment is  banishment before was death)

    . After all these advices to Molu's family the mother spoke on behalf of the family via the interpreter the man's son as how they appreciate his hospitality and will do as just as what he said and will live with peace ,harmony and obey the laws of both the village and the country .  So in total Molu's family that came to Tanzania were 7 ,that is the mother Mossito Mava, the sister Kimi Mava ,the wife Alioli Mava ,the late brother the king's wife Fasi Mava and the two children the girl Fassin Amee  and the boy Miti Mava . The family was happy in the Kabavi village Molu as the bread winner of the family carries the able people which are the sister and Miti to the farm whiles the rest stay home to prepare food and fetch water for the family. Molu Mava have it in mind to one-day make the children follow Similoli Mavinga to school. He realized they are off age to start school but needs some money to push them with . He farms ,go on hunting and do fishing in the river as well . The village of Kabavi is blessed with fertile land ,aquatic life and wildlife  as well. Molu Mava has been doing all the three most important activities in Kabavi village. He is one admired by many . The women in the village like him a lot some even says if not him having a wife like they will ask him to marry them . His family became popular as they share some of their produces with the people. The Chief of the village Miola Mutu like him very much and proposed to give the Princess his daughter for him to marry as a second wife which he said no to for his wife is ok fir him.

    AT THE GATE OF NEBULA

    Nebula is a place in Kabavi village where the village people gathers to listen to tails , fascinating stories and love stories which some are fantasy. This is a place of entertainment for the village both young and old. The younger ones at onside when the story contains adult content and when it normal and doesn't contain any explicit adult content they gather both young and old . The name originates from Basdee Nebula who gathers people in the village in the place and tell them tails of long ago . It was popular and receive Appellations from the people. The place was named after him and was given to him and the family. So the people who tell the tails often comes from his lineage. It is believed the best story tellers are from the loins of Nebula. Over centuries past have the Nebula family being telling fascinating stories to the people as away of entertainment which makes the villages bring them food items ,cloths and many more as a way of their appreciation . When Molu and the family got to Kabavi village they joined the people who often goes for it was something similar to that of what is being practiced in Nubia. For  them they sit along a log fire all around as the elder of the family tells the story. The way it is done in Nubia is quite different in a sense that the Nubians don't have a particular place they go as it being done in Kabavi village but rather it family by family and sense it part of them and  their one of the regular people who goes to the place .Due to this made  Princess Shavagi of Kabavi also a regular attendee of Nebula. She before has  to be forced to visit Nebula to hear tails by the mother . There are lot of young men in Kabavi village who are much interested in the Princess ,many have proposed but to no avail but the presence of Molu brought a dramatic change in her attitude. Even though Molu is married the Princess doesn't care of showing how she care for Molu in public. She at times  send her maidens to go get her Molu into her chambers in the absence of the parents which he refused. Nebula is the favorite ground the Princess normally sees Molu. Princess Myra Mutu is a very beautiful nice looking young lady admired by many but few men dares to proposed hence getting her hand in marriage. The young men in the town realized her profound love for Molu and there the hatred started. Molu is someone being loved by the people of Kabavi village both young and old because of his hard work , generosity and dedication to communal labor . He is the role model for many in the village and the love the Princess have for him made him have many enemies. There came a time in the village where the land he and the family have been farming on came into contention. Aliyu Modri from Modri family’s desire is to be the next royal family. Chief Mutu had only one daughter and the one who marries her becomes the next heir to the throne after the demise of the current Chief . The Modri family is quite rich and wanted to control the vast farmlands ,stool lands for settlements together with royalties from minerals and fishing activities. Aliyu Modri proposed for about 5 times but the Princess turns down his proposal. For seeing the extend of love the Princess have for Molu caused him to burn inside. He sat down and said to  himself he will do anything possible for Molu to leave the village for good .

    After the fourth market day in the village Aliyu Modri went to his grandfather's house to greet the elders of the family. He received a well welcome, upon conversation the grandfather asked  my grandson when are you getting married you've grown fast? His reply was am on it grandpa and the father came into the scene and he said common proposal to the Princess he can't do when i was his age i play like never before, be of a giant ,short , chocolate, dark or fair  i will get you but this my son oh no his of no use . He can't woo the Princess . This got Aliyu Modri angry and he left ,as he was going was furious. On his way back home he met one middle age woman on the way called Massi Amioto . She is one of the most popular market women who sell vegetables at the market and knows Aliyu's mother very well . He stopped Aliyu and asked of the problem and he narrates all what had happen . After analyzing the issue she said to Aliyu he has a point so should come to his house around 7 pm to have some discussions on what he should do  . Aliyu informed him he will certainly come and will not miss the clock . The mood of Aliyu changed from this point as he was now happy going into his house.

    Aliyu went to his house to eat after bathing  and rested. After some hours he sat down to think of what the woman might be telling him is it about a magic on the Princess or something she likes that the woman will be teaching him to apply on the Princess . All these thoughts were going through his mind. When the time was up he went quickly to the house of Massi Amioto . When he got there fortunately for him there was no one available exception of Massi herself. He greeted and she respond ,and after the woman gave him a sit and he sat . She asked if he will like to drink some water which he said no to for his ok . After some few minutes interval Massi began to speak

    Massi Amioto: Am glad you came in fact  because of how saddened you were that is why am telling you this . You told me you really love the Princess which you proposed for about 5 times but nothing happened and you can see she love Molu.

    Aliyu Modri : Yes, yes it true she love Molu ,he is the reason she normally visit Nebula for the stories she before Molu's arrival never go to Nebula for any kind of show . At times will be there looking for some space to talk to her in that time but never shows up. Sometimes the Queen her mother will be forcing her to go to Nebula to entertain herself but she refuses what have changed? I think nothing more but the arrival of Molu .

    Massi Amioto: I think you are right and everyone knows how hardworking he is and generous as well ,can we say that to you?

    Aliyu : Mom Massi are you saying that to me?

    Massi : No, no not in that way you see it is like the Princess have seen something in him that makes her got attracted to him so i want to know about your side so i can tell you what to do .

    Aliyu : Massi you know if not the richest we're one of the richest people in Kabavi village. Yes i don't work i supervised people to work for me after all we have the money to pay them but what about that pauper he had nothing before coming here still nothing meaningful to show forth just his what ... Don't go there as he begins to insult Molu to Massi .Massi realized Aliyu is bragging with their riches and no qualities to show forth to attract the Princess but his neck is already in she had promise to make Aliyu get the Princess earlier so the only option is to give him the move or steps to succeed.

    As she was weighing the options and pondering over the words in her head Aliyu said to her will give you money for your business upgrade if you happy . Don't get scared at anything i will make sure you don't lack be it games from the wild ,big fishes ,farm produce and many more . There Massi brought up the secret

    Massi : There is a secret which you need to play very well. The Mavinga family are the closest to my family when Molu and his family arrived in Kabavi village they took them in . They were from different country chased by war and landed here via a canoe through the White Nile. They are strangers of our land . Your family by then was in the next village who comes to this place yearly because of business. I supposed it how your family got rich ,so coming here they're unaware of this story. So, to continue the Mavinga family one day went into their farm and all of them were attacked by a leopard which annihilates all of them exception of one Similoli who went to school to later come back and hear the news . The boy went to school the next day to tell the story to  which the headmaster asked to adopt him which he accepted .  No one knows this story much aside my husband and i ,so in order to succeed in marrying the Princess 1 you should convince Similoli to come back to the home of his ancestors to build a family house by now his of age , 2 Plot an event where Molu will be disgrace Infront of the Princess ,3 create an event which will lead to his banishment by making it look like he has offended the law .

    Aliyu : Thank you so much for what you've  said it a good step will do all that you say .

    After the meeting Aliyu went to his house very happy in fact  really excited. No one knows why he is happy as people past by him going to their way seeing him walking happily.  Aliyu took time to think about the plan to capture his prey Molu into his evil trap . He thought of getting Baliba popularly known as Goyo which means tough guy ,Gadros  and Borisi  to help him in his plan . When it comes to Kabavi village these three are considered the toughest guys in the village all the bad things that happens be it fighting, unnecessary arguments that leads to tension, stealing of people's farm produce unknowingly and smoking all fingers point at these three guys. He plan of influencing them with money . He plan to give them
