Knighted Again – Ch.14 | KT OLLA

SAMBA took a forlorn look at her watch. It was about 3 hours since Nile and Vickie had been with the king.

Samba had been waiting alone and thinking about the stars all of this time. So now she was starting to get a bit more anxious.

But Samba’s worry had fell this heavily on her because she was all beside herself and lonely.

She’d had so plenty of the view at sea – so plenty that she’d easily dream of waves on white sand that night.

She’d had too much of smiling at the views that she was forced to remember she was still single.

So the darling one was quite fed up with star and sea gazing, when she had a gorgeous surprise walk up to her.

The girl had looked to the doorways so many times that she couldn’t count.

Then she’d wished each of those times that the star kids would show up from there with a smile.

It was the pleasant gift that she’d craved as payback for her waiting. But she found something else she’d got missing.

Samba George raised her gaze from her watch now to glare at the doors. Only, this time, she cared less if the young ones walked in with smile.

But as she was dropping her head again when they weren’t there, she suddenly sighted a man walking in, and smiling.

So she stole a quick glance then thought his face looked familiar.

The dude strutted in and walked up to her.

So when the lady glared back at him wondering at the nerve he’d got to walk close, she just heard him croon down a manly tone...

She was a bit shaken by his spell of voice.

‘Oh c’mon, wipe that cloud off your face,’ he said. ‘The palace’ a safe zone after all!’

He added in a gentler voice. ‘Don’t worry; the stars will be back in no time.’

The girl’s defences fell right there.

She loosened up and freed her mind to think – as she realized that the man was talking a different thing, when she’d thought he’d seen beauty and wanted the chase.

So the young beauty stole a glance at him. Then she thought:

He’s so tall, and dark, and handsome. But who is this man that likes me now?

Well, he should be a staff here. He must’ve been watching me... liking me. Really liking me!

Now Samba tried to recall where he’d seen the dude before. Yet she was pretty sure she hadn’t met anyone as him.

The man was dressed in a woolen polo shirt with a cross shade of cream on coffee brown.

Then a pair of baggie shorts in coffee shade looked over a black pair of strappy for shods.

He had a black leather watch binding his wrist.

The suave looking gentleman was living his late 30’s with a youthful face that spelled 20.

Then he hadn’t got time to marry, so he walked up to Miss George and sat beside her.

He saw how hard the lady was trying to recall his face so he helped her.

‘I guess you can’t recall seeing me before. It’s the guy from the checkpoint...’

Samba made an effort.

The dude went again. ‘Well, the “big fan”—’

The girl caught on. ‘Oh, oh... you’re the one! But you really look... I think you look younger!’

‘Well, I guess that’s how I look outside work,’ the man laughed. ‘You know when you’re in uniform everyone looks the same.

‘I don’t actually work at the gates. I happen to head all of security. So I was sent to bring you up here.’

Samba liked his gentle candour, so she flowed along.

‘I must be mistaken to call you young! It’s a big man I’m sitting with here—look at me!’

‘Oh cut that!’ the man waved. ‘There’s no big young man in shorts these days! Everyone’s in suit!’

Samba broke in a big laugh. And the dude joined too.

Then when they stopped, he offered her a hand.

‘Well, I’m Collins.’

‘Samba’s the name,’ the lady smiled shaking his hand. ‘Nice seeing you again.’

Collins looked at his watch.

‘You must have been sitting here for long. Do you mind using a walk – I can take you around the whole place.’

‘Oh I don’t mind, Mr Collins. I’ll so like that.’

Collins stood and offered to lift her up.

‘How about you call me Collins? Ditch formalities, I like to be friends.’

Samba gazed up with weak eyes as she placed her hand in his. She looked at him for a second or two.

Who’s this guy that sweeps a girl off her feet in seconds?

Then she stuttered. ‘Ohh... Okay!’

Collins leaned forward and pulled her right up. For they both knew they were on to a great life—ahead.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
