The Love of a Warrior
"Where are we off to Marley?" She asked. Somewhere safe baby where eyes will be off us and we can stay all night discussing our future he replied. You know there is no future for us Marley, I am getting married tomorrow and you are engaged already, why not let’s stop and try to end this relationship, its over baby, the land has separated us. The LAND!! He murmured the land, the laaaannnd.
Marley was born into the Katanga warrior clan of the White seas village, the village known for military prowess and bountiful cropping system, the beauty is spectacular even the sun can’t wait to smile on this glorious land every morning. Everything but one was perfect, there were to be no mixed marriages between the clans, this was to ensure that each clan remains balanced and focused to the task at hand. Elaina is the daughter of the chief of the Gamy clan, this clan stood in charge of the grains and other crops production in the land. They met at the village square when the new king was installed, Elaina danced like a free bird as her waist and the beads around it swung magnificently like the feathers of a peacock, Marley nearly dropped his bow that was after his mouth also fell. For a moment, he forgot about the laws of the land and promised himself her. “I must have her” he said to himself, but how?
Luck has a smiling face, they say. Well she really smiled at Marley when he was posted to be the coast guard of the Gamy clan, every Katanga warrior never wanted this position, they would rather be at the warfront than guard “the foods”, but Marley did not care, guarding the food was a secondary motive, the primary had been set before the appointment came. Elaina, a seventeen year old girl with shape of a twenty-five year old lady, She is indeed something incredible, the pride of not only the father but the clan, the future wife to the heir of the White Seas throne.
The first formal meeting happened in a swift, she came down the river and asked Marley to help her lift the water pot to her head, Marley was ready to do this over and over again a million times, her smiled melted his warrior heart, even the strongest of men couldn’t stand that scenario. The more they meet at the river, the more Marley get to say a word to her, she wasn’t really a good listener but non stopping blows will break down a wall, that’s the code of a warrior. Marley was at his post waiting for his daily sensational view, she should have been here already, or has she changed her mind. His thought was cut short by a deep cry, even a deaf Marley would recognize the cry of Elaina, swift as a fox he ran towards the noise, and there a wild bear smirked at Elaina, this was glaring, it is impossible for Marley to kill the bear, what more can an eighteen year old young man offer in the situation than to scream himself. He wants to live and is not ready to leave either.
This became a situation, What next?
