The struggle of an oppressed tribe

The cobbled streets, silent witnesses of
countless secrets, holds another mystery. As the light of dawn

illuminates the ancient city, the captured spy, nsijoro, is interrogated.

Under pressure, he
reveals a hidden passage beneath the palace that leads to a forgotten room.
forgotten room. This room, he claimed, contained a powerful artifact that could turn the tide of any battle.

the circumstances of any battle. Eager to know more, the
king's men assembled a team to explore this hidden passage.

The air is filled with anticipation as they descend into the depths, unaware of the trials and truths that await them.

Will they find the artifact and secure the future of their kingdom?

Hands wrapped in @nsijoro chains led the way of the royal troops to the dark undercroft of the palace where spiderwebs seemed to be everywhere and the smell of decay was overpowering by the light of their torches as they made their way halfway through the passageways with knee-deep puddles of water.

Occasionally his body leaned against a slippery wall filled with moss with the sound of rats that were very terrible human bones scattered everywhere not knowing their origin slowly he led the royal troops to and fro without direction.

@Nsijro is an expert in the strategy of war grilia and propaganda made the group of troops exhausted and began to upset the direction of uncertain directions drained a lot of energy on them this is a secret road that leads to a place where there was a war from his tribe against the royal authority

The troops asked him to stop for a moment to rest with sufficient lighting they were very surprised by rolling their eyes to see a pile of human bones that were still intact complete with shields and swords, in their minds whether there were monsters here or the place of the battle arena in the past.

Many question marks arose in every head of the troops what had happened here was very terrible then they approached paying close attention that the symbols that existed were from their kingdom in decades past.

The tunnel they are traveling through is a place of waste water drainage from the kingdom and the city which empties into this river is a road as a link between the kingdom and the tunnel which is in the middle of the city square as a flood anticipation water but no one has been able to reveal every mystery along the way.

but not with @nsijoro he knows and memorizes every intersection thanks to the map in his head that he got from his tribal leader as a leader who resisted the authority of the oppressive king, his confession about the artifact is not true it is just a strategy and makes up stories so that he can escape from the confinement of royal soldiers.

Suddenly in the silence they heard a woman's voice that echoed throughout the hallway calling and saying

"Come to me, I have been waiting for you for a long time, accompany me in a sense of loneliness that is gripping"

Then a black mist covered the entire room where they were the warriors dispelled the mist with torches approaching them who then heard the groan of a powerful nsijoro with one sword in hand that came from a pile of bones with a very sharp look aimed at the group.

Which then swung the sword quickly towards them there was a fistfight sparks were clearly visible when the sword touched the walls and rocks in the hallway one of the prajuri threw a stone the size of a human head right into the body of @nsijoro then he fell down and fell on the floor which was marked with strange symbols.

Then followed by the sound of water like a flood ready to hit them filling every intersection of the tunnel that delivered the soldiers like vomit left over from the stomach of a whale that ended up in the tunnel in the city center square the residents saw very disgusting while holding back nausea by covering their noses and mouths.

Residents witnessed the horror of each soldier's body sticking to the blackish green mud like concentrated acid that could shed the flesh attached to each soldier's body they went home with bones looking shaped and without recognizing their faces.

But strangely there was no body of @nsijoro along with the warriors who remained in that name, in the violent rotation of water @nsijoro's body was dragged away towards another tunnel stranded in a rocky cave with clear water and dinggin can pierce the bones every view presents stalactites and stalagmites with river water flowing in the center.

then woke up from his nightmare when water droplets hit his forehead in his somnolent state he tried to open his eyes slowly he found himself on a canoe with a woman he saw faintly a little moan coming out of her mouth it seemed like there were ribs broken due to the impact of the rock that led to him earlier.

With a rather heavy but quick breath he looked at the woman with the canoe paddling in his arms who was staring at him heavily the words came out of his mouth "who are you" but there was no answer from the woman, the canoe drove on the river in the cave directed by the translucent astral creature underneath it.

The sampan drove around to the mouth of the cave where there was no water and opened a very large iron grate door there he saw very clearly from the woman with the lighting of hundreds of candles in every corner of the cave reflected in the light through a very large mirror in the cave with the figure of a young woman with wavy brown shoulder-length hair tucked with roses in the right ear wearing a very beautiful white dress strangely she wore a mask to cover her face

Arriving the canoe leaned on the lip of the flat rocks in the cave he looked around at the rose petals scattered among the rocks that made the room smell like it was in a flower garden and saw a very well-maintained classical piano suddenly she held out her hand to him while saying "let's hold my hand" with a very soft and warm voice the

Then he took her hand and slowly got up from the canoe and led the way to the piano that had a wine kettle on it and then sat down beside it while swallowing his saliva he felt the soft touch of the skin and parts of the woman that was so fragrant that it pierced the nerves that were stunned in his sight.

Then the girl played the piano to the tune of rock and roll music combined with cereosa lyrics that reverberated throughout the room like a performance of art in a theater then she sang

"in death I always sing to you
"Only in illusion can I see you
"Your every cry can show my soul.
"Can you feel all that?
"Every time I think of you
"You are my illusory love
"What do you feel
"when you wake up in your long dream.
"I am the rose.
"who wants to coexist with your soul.

@Nsijoro was transfixed by it all, there were many questions in his brain but he just missed it without saying a word after he finished his song then the woman stood up and poured a glass of wine to be given to him.

without staring, @Nsijoro looked through the gap in his mask while sideways pouring wine into the glass. He saw the woman without a nose, only her bones were visible, his heart was in disbelief, in his heart he said that the sign was not good for me.
As the woman handed him the slipper he took it quickly and pulled off the mask attached to the woman's face in disbelief walking back a few steps he noticed a woman without a face.

Greeted by a hysterical scream the woman grabbed the trident-shaped candle holders and threw the mirrors on each wall of the cave into pieces, making a scene throughout the cave.

It turned out that the woman was the king's daughter who was locked up in the cave whose soul was offered to the kingdom as a mystical practice that had been agreed upon in the ritual when the princess was born as a guardian for the king's power.

She hated herself so much that she had sprayed her face on every piece of the cracked mirror and then she took the splinter and stabbed it right in the heart, then @nsijoro b didn't know what force made her feel compelled to embrace the woman.

In his lap the soft voice turned into an old grandmother's voice she said behind the rocks you can find a passage that leads directly to the king's chambers take revenge for your tribe then you lead the kingdom wisely.

While taking the powder that is tucked from behind the cave you sprinkle this powder while the king is asleep all over his body then he nods it off.

Then @nsijoro did every direction from the king's daughter for the sake of his tribe and the oppressed people and was later crowned king in a country called steemit.
