3 Chapter Two.

There was silence after that and hope appeared on the face of the Yellow soldiers. They knew how skilled and great their commander was. They prayed as they waited. " No! We won't have a duel. We fight with both armies " answered a voice from the black army.

Commander Afri was shocked and he looked at his men who gasped. " You are all cowards to clamor for a duel. Fight with your men and pray to your gods to save you" the same voice shouted. Commander Afri looked around the black army for the one who talked and did not see anyone.

Then, a man on a horse, dressed in silver armour, came forward and shouted " I am Commander Adelmo, Commander of the black Army and younger brother to the King of Burspor (Black Capital)".

"Duels are applicable under the laws and eyes of the gods" Commander Afri shouted. "Fuck the laws and fuck the gods" Commander Adelmo shouted. "We are your gods. Fight us and determine your fate" he added.

Commander Afri knew he had no choice and so ordered his men to hold their ground. " Form a barrier; every man supporting another. Do not let any ray of light pass between you. Hold your ground" he commanded as he watched the black army surge towards them. "Hold! Hold! Release!!!" He shouted as arrows flew over his head. The arrows had little effect on the black army.

They marched forward and within seconds clashed with the yellow army. There was clashing of swords, men shouting when struck, blood everywhere, heads rolling. Commander Afri fought and saved those he could so as to keep them in the fight. They were losing and losing hard. "Hold your ground! Hold!. If we die, we die for freedom" he shouted. He watched as his men fell. He knelt down and shouted to the sky. All was lost and the battle was over. The only free country has been taken by the blacks.

After a while, the soldiers of the black Army began to check the battlefield for survivors and their dead men. They piled up the dead and burned them. The remaining generals of yellow country and Afri were rallied and tied and taken to the black camp.

In the camp, Afri looked around and saw slaves doing the biddings of the black soldiers. He saw a black soldier molesting a young red slave girl who should be around eighteen years(18). The soldier took the girl in and Afri knew what would happen. A shame to the gods!!

His generals were drenched and tired with heads laying low. The man he met earlier came out with few soldiers and there was silence in the camp.

"We are too many in Burspor and we do not need hostages. We will lay claim to all four cities in your country and kill all freedom fighters. You all will bow to the one true god- Xander(king of Burspor)" Commander Adelmo said. "Kill the remaining ones and keep this man ( pointing to Afri). He is the king's prisoner" Adelmo added. The soliders killed the generals and kept Afri in prison- a price for the king.

Yoovim

"We have lost! The battle is over! It is over! " a young woman shouted as she ran into Afri's house in Yoovim- the capital of the Yellow country. "Silence! Stop shouting!" An older woman told the woman. The woman calmed down and saw Afri's wife in bed in labour. "Gently now, push harder" another woman said and Afri's wife shouted.

Few moments later. She gave birth and the midwives shouted "it is a girl". Afri's wife collected the child and cried. She knew the child may never see her father and called her AFUA. Even though yellow country has lost her freedom and is in darkness, a ray of light called Afua was born.
