MUSTARD I – Ch. 22 | KT OLLA

NOW Moro looked out of the pack. And down there, he saw Wura and their wards. Then that instant, words failed the parents.

It was like their hearts crashed into a wall, as there was nothing they could do or say.

Still, where words failed tears tore through. For the couple cried so much.

Then after moments, Moro spoke the words.

‘I will survive. I will return. Please take care of our children!’

Now those words didn’t exactly speak Moro’s heart. He’d meant them to assure his wife; yet his own fears broke her.

So, like fuel poured in fire, Wura’s depth of soul was kindled at the sight of him. And then, the tears flowed.

The lady said, ‘Please return to us, Moro! Survive the war and return, please!’

Yet although she simply begged him, Wura’s words sounded like an order to live. Now this order gave her gentleman strength.

Moro clenched his fist amid the tears as he nodded in response. He nodded that he was ready.

By this time, a man walked down to the vehicle and shoved Wura off, along with other women.

Even still, Wura returned to that place. She was that daring.

The drivers were now starting their engines and pulling out to move. So the reality of the things dawned on Moro.

Yes, he felt a bit scared that this might be a goodbye. The final one, at that.

So he smiled to bid a farewell.

‘I love you, Wura,’ he stretched a hand. ‘And thank you for everything!’

Now that was it. The parting words that wrecked his woman.

For those words were like he wouldn’t return. Like the man would fall in the war.

So Wura raced to quickly answer. Yet the vehicles were starting to move, so the lady raced after her man.

She screamed. ‘You must survive, Moro! You must, my husband! You must return to us! Please, you must return!’

She went on screaming, and crying. And running amid a crowd of others.

Moro looked back at her and smiled amid his tears.

There was an endless line of trucks, carrying men to sea...

And a crowd of women pouring after.

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...
