MUTANT PRINCE: Episode 1

Hello steemians

Putting up my first fiction,hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to give me feedback so i know what you think

Now the drama unfolds

Intermittently pacing up and down Miza could not help. Uttering a prayer to their gods each time he walked past the door. A lioness could be heard roaring, it was his wife Troda the queen of Shonanonga and they were expecting a third child. It was getting to the darkest of the night termed ungodly hour of the night, but the moon was there to brighten the sky.

At exactly 12:00 a.m half the moon turned blue and the baby came forth, it wasn't a coincidence. The flute was blown signifying the birth of a prince
What sign is this? king Miza voiced
He quickly sent for Ratoga the gods mouthpiece
Restless and perturbed he was
Sweating profusely like a goat waiting to be slaughtered. His patience bar was full as he barged in to see his new born baby.

It's a boy said one of the midwives as she tried to give the baby warmth
but i'm afraid he's different
Anxiously and fearfully Miza took a glance
Blue eyes and four fingers the baby possessed
He left quickly without a word to his wife.
As he stepped out he met Ratoga fast approaching
Tell me you have a message for me he said with so much anxiety.
No my king, strange, very strange, nothing of this sort s been seen or heard of said Ratoga
What have i done wrong to deserve a monster as a child he said soberly as he retired to his palace

We should have disposed of him when we had the chance, i told you he's a monster
Never call my child a monster, he's a normal child he's just special
This is the conversation that ensued between Miza and his wife 15years after Kapera, the prince with the blue eyes was born. Unknown to them Kapera stood behind the door eavesdropping.
Finally he got the confirmation he needed that his father had no love or compassion for him.
He grew up a deject, he was treated like an alien even by his own siblings Athel and Prila and this instilled so much hatred in him. He normally ran to a cave to cry, there he found solace.

One fateful evening, Shonanonga was in anarchy as a pack of wolves attacked a farm. The dwellers ran to safety scared to their lungs.
The king rushed out with his sword (always been a warrior, in Shonanonga you fight to contest for the throne)

Gong!gong!gong! Sounded the drum

The warriors already gathered to attack the intruders. Getting to the scene late, massive damage had already been done. Some dead while others seriously injured.
A curfew was enforced from 5pm to 7a.m to arrest the situation.
Unfortunately that same evening kapera was in the cave cooling off. It was about time he went back to the palace. Having no idea what had happened in the village.
By this time, the sun had set and darkness slowly took over, he was surprised as he met no one on his way back
so unusual he said as he increased his paces

After concluding plans of keeping watch of the night with the warriors
where's Kapera?
Has he been torn apart by the wolves or is he one of the wolves? he said amusingly but serious
Troda sobbed
There was absolute silence as nobody knew his whereabouts.

Kapera took a path, unknown to him one of the wolves had wandered onto the same path. As he heard sounds in the bush close to him, leaves moving, his blue eyes glowed and he could feel a rapid adrenaline rush.
Never had he felt that way before
Contemplating whether to run or face what was after him

Poom! poom!

His moment of thought was cut short when the wolf pounced on him. Quickly he threw the animal off like it was a piece of stone.
Shocked at the strength he possessed and sudden night vision his blue eyes gave him.
The wolf attacked again, this time scratching him deep. As he fell to the ground on seeing his blood spill his rage level rose from zero to hero real quick.
The wolf attacked again trying to put its canine through his femur, he held the carnivores upper jaw and lower jaw and tore it apart like a tiny piece of meat.

Wounded and bleeding, he made his way home covered in blood. Approaching home to find comfort but to his utmost surprise, seeing his father and the warriors, he was disheartened by his father's spontaneous action
That is the wolf, kill him
Miza sent the warriors after him believing he shapeshifted
Kapera fled Shonanonga never to return home
