I was perplexed by the  pitch-dark clouds, my head swelled round and round in circles, I felt a sharp pain on my chest, "ouch" my head felt heavier than a drum of concrete  
"no way!! this can't be a dream"trounced in the thick fog.i thought aloud to myself "am I drunk?, come-on there's no way a boy my age could've be this dead drunk at the dusk or dawn of  day. it was so jet black that it's was  impossible to tell the time

I scrambled for my feet and up I went staggering like a  "am certainly drunk"I muttered to myself but on second thought my body smelt of blood and no wine

Boom!! a massive light emptied it's whole current on me "gosh It was definitely from the head lamp of a car. In a flash a weird sound whistled passed my ear,"dem that was a bullet"  instantly my sense of sight got some of it's brain back. in a somewhat blurry distance of two (2) kilometers I envisioned four huge unrecognizable men shooting I ducked to a tree as fast I could

My used to be alien environment became more familiar although still foggy it wasn't that heavy, the whole place had this rough odure of gun powder mixed with dry leaves.i it's was doubtlessly a Forest. trapped in a gun battle.the war zone became more unbearable I tried my most best to cover my tiny body with the aid of the lustrous tree which served as my armour I inevitably heard the anguished cry's of dyeing men. A distinct voice so recognizable was crying "my wife!!  My wife I love my wife I can't die"

What!! "You can't be serious?was that man thinking of love while we're battling with our lives"was love that serious? Well my dad told me"son when you find love it's gonna feal like paradise" the need of my safety outgrew my curiosity for love.the heat of the gun fight got worse I knew I had to abadon my tree armor I raised my garment and ran as fast as I could to another tree with my heart thumping out of my chest and it seemed I betrayed my position.

More bullet's rained on my position coursing my ear drums to blast I tried my possible best to cover my ear but to no avail which caused a massive pain, without thinking I ducked to a nearby tree Allah be praised!! For immediately a grenade was tosed to my former spot.boom the tree shattered in pieces  I felt a sting on my shoulder woohoo!! my shoulders bleed badly staining my white jallabia

Mansa !! Mansa !! I heard someone whispering my name I turned around and was relieved for a while,at first glance I couldn't recognize his face but I could tell it was one of our most  trusted guards his was elegantly dressed with a purple black and blue leather jacket which swept the ground as he walked,his shoes were made of both iron and canvas he stood over me and motioned for me to be quiet "where are the others?" he asked trying to raise me up "am alone I replied "how long have you been here? he spited, "for the past twenty minutes"I responded softly.

Where is it? he demanded harshly at this point in a flash I  remembered what day we were stucked  in this was the day I was to be declared hair to the throne the news of my communiration spread like a wild fire  infact we were ambushed on our way to the ceremonial ground. Where is it?he shouted and pushed me roughly

I landed with a heavy thud on the ground my body ached as a result of my fall. tears streamed  out of my eyes. "Wait you swore an oath to protect the king and not the....... "what are you asking about"I sobbed  like a wounded loin? hmm you want to play games with me hugh? He thunders .i could tell from his face that he was really serious despite the bullets flying around , think think !! A voice screamed out of my head. I opened my mouth but my jaw rebelled and drop back "where is za.pucking scepter?. The next thing that came to my mind was dumb as an asss

It came out before I realized it  "the person who hired you must be a dumbass he's not aware of the fact that you are a betrayal " kalam gave a frown and then busted into a laughter of mockery, " kaii  wallahi you.....you  you (za) a bery zmart boy" he said in a desending tone of northern accent "let's kwut a deal"he said  while dodging a bullet "you give me za zymbol and I spear your life,we ru'le za kingzom togefher"while he spoke I scanned the ground with my left fingers all I felt was dry leaf's and broken twigs.

At the mention of we rule the kingdom together I made a false face impression hoping that kalam would fall for it. I saw triumph in his face "so zel me where za zymbollis ? "Zel me in my ear" he said letting out a wicked smile, I muttered a word and he was like huh he bent down to get closer to my mouth surprisingly a miracle happened I spotted a stone small enough for my trembling hands to carry, as soon as my mouth got to his Left ear I reached for the stone but gosh!! My hand sliped and made some rattling noice,. kalam was so interested about the piece of information I was about to give that he couldn't notice, I grab the stone and hit his skull with all my might he let out a loud cry "wahyo..,. I expected him to fall but no he got up screaming and forgotten about the flying bullets.dooom!! Kalam fell like an iroko tree from the impact of a stray bullet

I crawled with my knees to where he laid lifeless I searched him and picked a short gun
I looked around the flying  bullets had reduced  most of our royal escort were dead or either screaming for help. Who ever ambushed us was really prepared and knew our combat style we were betrayed by our own but I couldn't place my fingers on who led the betrayal I surmurned courage and ran as fast as an air plain to no and every direction 

I ran for about five minutes and crashed my feet to a root of a
Mango tree I fell uncontrollable and rolled like a baseball into a valley like ground I stood up and by body rocked with pain
I could taste the blood dripping from my mouth.i tried to wipe some out of my mouth and then I saw a figure like the king my dad I ran towards him tears rolling down my cheeks like the rain from the sky "Daddy please stay alive mansa is here "my dad was badly injured his white jallabia turned red with his blood  at the mention of my name my dad smiled I could see he did that with the last of his strength "mansa you are my pride on  this day I crown you sultan of  MAALAY 'AKBARR I knelt down and cried "baba am only ten he chuckled and said the blessings of Allah resides in you" while having my conversation with dad OBI AGU  our chief guard walked towards us and knelt beside the king. My Dady made OBA swore to defend me and the throne

I shouted to oba let's take him to the hospital he can survive. "Mansa you are the sultan of MAALAY AKBARR what ever decision you take from now is  the faith of the kingdom behold the son sets on you" he said gazing at the sun,it was so beautiful, i forgot my pains at a stare,  dad then rested his head on my lap  "it's beautiful right as long as the sun rules the sky my ancestors and I would watch over you "my dad smiled and breath his last, his bullet wound filled body laid monitonles
                DADDY I love you
                          I Sobbed
"Wake up!! wake up" a faint voice called from the sky, I stretched my long neck to find the voice,
OGA wake up" this time the voice sounded louder with a slap accompanying it.i woke up to reality with the rude face of my room mates staring at me.
