LANGELIHLE #55
SEASON FINALE.
# Narrated.
It was now close to midnight and no one has slept, everyone was wide awake, waiting for anything that might happen.
Langelihle:I thought they would be here by now.
Sondela:Me too.
Langelihle:But let’s wait.
Sondela:Are you scared?
Langelihle:Very. You?
Sondela:Me too.
Meanwhile, Mdabuli and his men were nearing the kingdom.
Mdabuli:Do not touch her. She’s all mine boys.
“Yes sir”.
They get out of the car and take all their weapons, they travel through the forest and take the easiest route to the Kingdom.
Mdabuli raise up his hands and motions for them to stop once they were near.
Mdabuli:We are here. Let's separate into small groups, so that we will all surround the kingdom.
The men nod and they all go separate ways, surrounding the kingdom. Mdabuli and a few men with him go towards the gate that leads to the royal palace. He sees Langelihle standing with her royal army. His mouth forms a little smile seeing his daughter. She is so grown, he thinks to himself.
Langelihle frowns looking at the man young enough to be his brother.
Langelihle:Is that him?
Gobi:It is.
Langelihle:He looks young, are you sure?
Gobi:Yes, him and his witch friend know what they do to prevent themselves from aging.
Langelihle:They are circling us. There's too many of them.
She says as she notices other troops from Mdabuli going around.
She orders some warriors to circle the kingdom and be where Mdabuli's troops are. Her sceptre is strapped around her body and ready to do the work.
Mdabuli:Smart.
He says as he notices that there is a shield put over the kingdom.
"How will we enter boss?", one of his men ask him.
He takes his knife and tries cutting through the barrier but fails. His men also try cutting through the barrier but no success.
Mdabuli:Technology of today! Only one thing can break this. Her.
He points at Langelihle. He paces up and down frustrated. An idea comes to his mind and he takes out his phone from his pocket.
Sondela:Are you sure they can't break the shield?
Langelihle:Ndosi said it's unbreakable, only an amount of power source can break it.
Mlando:I don't like this, why is he just standing there?
Langelihle:Shhhh... Can you hear that?
Lwando:I can't hear anything.
Sondela:Me neither.
Langelihle closes her eyes feeling a ringing noise to her ears.
Langelihle:Can't you hear that? It's buzzing through my ear, it hurts.. It hurts... It hurts...
She falls down, kneeling while still holding her ears. She cries in agony, Mlando notices her ears are bleeding. He touches her but quickly remove his hand.
Mlando:Sis Langa, what is going on? Your ears are bleeding.
He asks worried. Sondela coughs and looks at Mdabuli. He tilts his head and look at him sternly. Mdabuli shakes his head at him.
Langelihle is still screaming and crying of the buzzing sound she is hearing. She touches her ears, closing them and looks up to Mdabuli's direction. She screams and shoots an amount of energy from her eyes, which goes all the way to breaking down the shield.
Mdabuli smiles and turns off the sound from his phone. He puts it back to his pocket.
Langelihle stands up and gathers herself.
Langelihle:The shield is down.
Mlando:How did you do that? You just shot fire from your eyes!
He says shocked a bit. He has seen her abilities, but this was a first.
Langelihle:I don't know. The buzzing sound was burning my ears.
Mlando:Your eyes... You're...
Langelihle touches her face and feels how hot she is, she can tell that her eyes are showing the sun.
Mdabuli points at his men that they should attack. They all run towards Langelihle and his army screaming and shouting, getting ready to fight, their spears and swords ready to go.
Langelihle:Gobi go.
She doesn't wait to be told twice, she runs and disappears..
Langelihle:Whatever happens, we will not fail this Kingdom!!! Attackkk!!!!
She shouts back charging her army.
They too run towards Mdabuli's troops shouting with their spears and shields. She runs alongside them as Mdabuli's troops nears, they all meet at some point and fight. Langelihle grabs one man and throws him with so much force away. Someone holds her from behind and she nudges him with her elbow with so much force , making the man to fall down. She brings out her sceptre and charges it towards the enemies, releasing energy beams. Mdabuli's men run for cover, when Langelihle shoots at them with her sceptre.
Mdabuli:Stop being weak! Why are you hiding!?
He shouts at them and they come out of cover. The royal guards are also fighting, stabbing the troops with their spears. They've taken down a number of them.
Mdabuli stabs one guard with his knife and grunts in victory, he runs ahead taking out more. Langelihle jumps to one of Mdabuli's men and pins him down, she gets on top of him and takes his knife, she shoves it through his stomach, twisting it all the way down. She stands up and many more come to her, circling her. She looks around breathing heavily. They get more closer to her. She closes her eyes and stomps her foot on the ground, everyone on the field falls down, feeling like the ground shook a bit. She gets away and runs to Mdabuli but another troop stands in front of her, carrying an axe.
She laughs sarcastically and marches towards him. She touches his axe and it melts off of his hands, almost burning him.
"What the...?", he asks looking at his melted axe. He looks up and Langelihle punches him, sending him to the ground. She steps on his stomach and shoves a knife on his leg, leaving him screaming.
She leaves him and runs again looking for her father, who was taking down her royal army like nothing. Half her army was down, also Mdabuli's troops were down, only a few were left from both sides. She felt more powerful, like she wasn't fighting alone, she felt her ancestors were with her, holding her hand through this battle.. Someone catches her off guard and grazed her with a sword on her leg. She winces in pain as she see that she is bleeding. She kneels with her unaffected leg.
"Oh my God", she cries seeing the blood, it hurt a lot. But this wasn't the time to die and be weak, everyone is depending on her. She ripped off the vest she was wearing, remaining only with a short top. She places the vest over the wound and looks around, the place was a mess and a lot of her men were injured. She made a tourniquet with the vest and stood up, ignoring the pain.
Mlando was also fighting like his life is depending on it.
She limped to where Mdabuli was.
"Father..", she shouts at Mdabuli.
Mdabuli stops and looks at her.
Langelihle:You came here for me, so come!
Mdabuli drops down the knife he was carrying, with his face bloody. He walked towards her.
She had the sceptre at her hand.
Langelihle:I've always yearned to know my father, I just didn't know what kind of person he is. And you... You're one of the bad guys.
Mdabuli:So what are you going to do about it daughter?
She looks at the sceptre, and she swallows hard. It's now or never. She raises it above her head, getting ready to stab him. She closes her eyes and dives the sceptre through his heart. She feels him falling down. She opens her eyes and frowns seeing him just standing there, didn't she just stab him? Her eyes land to the person on the floor. She realizes that it's Sondela and she gasps, kneeling down to him and dropping the sceptre to the ground. He was bleeding and choking on his own blood. What has she done?
"Oh no no no, please don't do this to me. Sondela please", she cries to him.
Mdabuli:It's amazing how much you can accomplish with your zombie. I have always been one step ahead of you Langelihle. You can't outsmart the master. I am the Lord of Darkness. Did you really think that you could defeat me? You defeat me?
Langelihle:Zombie? What are you talking about?
She asks trying to help Sondela, who was slowly slipping away.
Mdabuli:He never woke up, he never healed. He was still comatose. He has been my zombie ever since he "woke up" , he has been spying for me, watching everything that happens. Learning your every move, learning everything about this so called sceptre meant to defeat me, and now he just saved me. I was controlling his every move, controlling his thoughts, he had no clue what was happening because he's still sleeping. That's how amazing dark magic is, you can do anything at the snap of your fingers. So you Langelihle, you killed him. You killed him!
Langelihle moves her mouth in shock and confusion. Suddenly everything was making so much sense. She looks at Sondela.
Langelihle:Oh my God, it has always been you. Thembalihle was never the enemy I thought he was, it was you, you all along.
Mdabuli:And when the two of you slept together, that's when it gave me power to do this.
He bends down a little, and picks up the sceptre.
Mdabuli:The weapon meant to destroy me, now I will use it to kill you and rip out your heart.. So you will lay peacefully along your love.
He kicks Langelihle down and she falls, laying next to Sondela.
Mdabuli:Goodbye daughter..
Langelihle:*Begging* I am your daughter, I know you are doing all this to impress your father but you don't have to. You can still live your own life, and make your own rules. You don't have to do this, please. You brought me to this world, you made me with my mother. I'm your daughter, and you're my father. Please don't do this.
Mdabuli feels a tint of guilt and looks at the sadness on her face. But he shakes his head and raises the sceptre to her.
