My uncle relented, he agreed to an unconditional surrender with the president of Calisthenes, “I am done with anything that has to politics, please withdraw your army, I give you my word, and I consent to the principle of unconditional surrender!” My uncle said, and all the people heard his words because he spoke through live transmission.
But for one reason or the other, he still continued the invasion and destroyed some vital structures in Sosthenes, due to my uncle’s concession (the military had access to his concession speech), they did not repel his attacks. When he arrived at the Sosthenian Presidential Villa, he met a multitude surrounding the villa. He ordered them to move out of the way, but the people stayed on the presidential grounds for apparently strange reasons. The president was infuriated, “Kill everyone that is standing in my way!”  The president ordered to his army. But his soldiers relented and pointed to Prince, (his son was standing by the side of my uncle with the multitude).
While the president was trying to deal with his now demoralized soldiers, I arrived at the villa with my cohort of ‘unwanted’ media teams (I did not want the coverage of a pop nosing set of… let me end it there), and my very able friend and father-figure — Mr. Parker, after he boomed out my voice through the communication system of his aircraft, the people allowed our jet to land safely, and they made way for us as I went to meet my uncle and Prince. My dear friend (or frenemy, I think I can call him that) wanted to give me a supporting hand, but my joyous uncle was faster than him, and he gave me a big hug, as my uncle hugged me the people clapped, they were choked with emotions, while the Calisthenian Army departed for their home. Though, I was terribly weak, but I was glad at one fact, we were in safety once again.
The next day, we got breaking news from Prince. His dad had resigned. He said, “The generals of our nation are no longer happy with the way my dad is… bla, bla, bla and bla!” (I put the bla, bla, bla stuff there.) The long and short of the whole matter was that the Calisthenians demanded for his father’s resignation and his soldiers were no longer supporting his father, but I am very sure Prince had a hand in the great rebellion that happened to his father. And for the first time in nearly a decade, elections took place in the whole of Europe.
The elections occurred few months after my uncle’s and Mr. Benjamin’s resignation from their presidential duties. I forgave Prince of his sins against me! And the good part of my story is that… my uncle gave his life to Christ. My life was a testimony of God’s existence to my uncle, and his leaving the presidential office brought him close to the reality of life, that nothing lasts forever, and there must be more to what exists now. His new decision did not really come has a very big shocker to me, because everything in life directs us to God one way or the other, and I was really happy for him.
