Knighted Again – Ch.15 | KT OLLA

SAMBA had a small rethink when she got up to walk with Collins. She hesitated a moment, then her man figured it was about the duo.

He knew the lady was being anxious about Vickie and Nile, thinking they might find it a bit hard to get her.

‘Oh you’re worried ’bout them finding us? I mean, Es & Em.

‘Well, I’ve got somebody on that. The moment they’re through, I’ll be informed. You don’t need to worry, Samba.’

Samba looked at him and nodded. She smiled when she saw he’d got this mapped out. That he’d got the walk planned.

So she smiled after the thought. ‘Thank you, Collins.’

The dude looked at her and said nothing. He only smiled like he knew.

Thus the two new friends stood and walked round the grand palace, stamping down in sands of time their first steps together—

Walking and talking from parks to gardens, to lawns and lanes...

It was like they’d known each other since birth.

Sand and Muse were done in about half an hour. So Collins helped the duo meet their manager.

Samba saw the young ones return with a face she’d never seen them wear.

They appeared pretty much serious for a pair of young friends that they were...

They looked so stern and serious that it was almost frightening.

Vickie held her fist very hard like she was crushing a stone to pieces. Then Nile’s eyes stared into space, and looked like they saw no one.

It was as though the friends had arrived from an uninhabited planet.

The Sand and Muse team got back into their van and rode out of the palace in no time.

Then it was not the young little ones driven into palace that left the same place. For Nile and Vickie grew older some plenty years.

Samba George sat and watched in silence as she chauffeured the stars back to town.

She was too bothered to ask a thing, so she wondered what they heard that changed them.

But Nile and Vickie weren’t blackmailed or threatened. Nor were they initiated into occult – like all the thoughts in Samba’s head.

No, they couldn’t be touched.

But then, Es and Em were made to hear a secret which only King Maqwela knew in all Cape Islands.

And the 40-year-old told the youngsters this, only because they were ministers.

Now the weight of that story... it made two kids turn adult.

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...
