Nkosinaye Bangizwe Zulu POV
I'm having late dinner with my family and out of nowhere my body starts heating up.I groan in pain as I try to stand but soon I collapse to the ground.Everything becomes black as I hear a loud scream.

***coma***
Amahle's POV.
As soon as I open my eyes I see six pairs of pure white eyes looking down at me.I screech and quickly sit up.When I look at these people,I gasp.
Me :Wow!
They are so beautiful and their dimpled smiles are just so mesmerizing.Their pearly white teeth shine as bright as the moon.These women are all caramel skinned with crowns on their heads.Who are they?
Lady :(smiling)I'm the late descendant of the white witches
Me:Intoni?!
Another lady :Me too
They all say me too ,Hay marn how did I get here?
Lady:Fate brought you here.
I'm sure I did not say that out loud !These women are creepy
Another lady :No we are not
Me:please stop responding to my thoughts,it's like I'm losing my mind.
Lady:okay fine
They all close their eyes and after a few moments they giggle then open their eyes.Now their pupils are brown.How?
Me :Am I dead?Oh God please let me not be dead. I still need my family.How will my mom react to such?Oh My Word dea...
Another lady:Calm down you are not dead,you just came to visit us that's all.
Me : I don't even know you guys so why would I visit?
They sigh and start humming a song.No way!This is the song my mom always hummed everyday on my birthday
Me :Ho...h...how did you guys know that song?
They just ignore me and continue humming.I then hear drums getting louder and louder. I look at my surroundings and I see a really beautiful waterfall with crystal clear water flowing.The flowers are so radiant and full of life. I see kids running around and chasing each other,looking so happy.There are huts all over the place.The sky is so beautiful no sign of air pollution whatsoever.Where the heck am I ?
Women start clapping,forming a circle and I get ushered to the center of the circle.Why is everyone so beautiful?
.The sky starts turning dark grey,wind starts blowing hard,the waterfall freezes and nature changes into brown.The moment I look up ,I'm met by the eyes of someone I never thought I'd see again,my grandma.I started trembling ngoba that woman traumatized me shame.She made my life a living hell before she died. I was only young and innocent but she treated me like how Phindile and her crew do but even worse.She would beat me up,lock me in my room the whole day without food. Claiming that I needed to lose weight.She would do all this when my mom was away for her shifts. I never tried to tell my mom anything because she was always where I was, threatening to do worse than she did before.I don't hate her,how can I hate my own blood?but I highly despise her.
I look at her frowning,tears flowing in my eyes.She smiles at me. I see her take a step closer to me and I try to move back but my feet seem to be stuck.She takes another step closer with an evil grin on her face and says
Her:Run
I try to run but that doesn't happen.That seems to agitate her so she runs my way and before she can even collide onto me.Lightning strikes her leaving her to ashes on the ground.
Everyone bows down.One of those ladies who were reading my mind goes to the spot where lightning struck and took the bracelet lying there.She came closer to me with the other women and takes my left wrist and slides in the blue bracelet.The other lady follows sliding in a red bracelet on my wrist.The white witches dot my forehead and smear something that smells like vimbela on my arms,legs and neck.They all bow down and it starts raining.
***end of coma***
I open my eyes ,feeling like I am being suffocated, I gasp for air.The light in the room I'm in makes me quickly shut my eyes.I open my eyes again and sit up,seeing that I'm in the a hospital room.How did I get here? I think hard but nothing comes up.Just then my brain switches on like a lightbulb,memories of what happened in my MD night flood in.OMG!
I slightly giggle as I think about what I said,when that truck collided onto us.I wonder what happened to that Uber driver shame. I lay back on the bed and close my eyes,letting sleep engulf me.

Nkosinaye's POV
I open my eyes only to be enveloped by complete darkness and silence.I sit up and start wondering where I am.I look at my feet and notice that I'm barefoot.I'm wearing a leopard's skin on top nesigcoko sembuzi at the bottom.Okay what the fuck?
I stand up and look around this place that I've figured out to be a cave.I see light shining on the far end of this cave and I run towards it.The closer I get there,the brighter the light becomes.Mmm seems like I'll be blind after this.I finally reach the end and what I see,is something I was not prepared to see.
I see leopard's,cheetah's and lions standing in a line all purring.On the other side there are older men dressed like me-Damn they look like different versions of my dad.I think these are my ancestors.One them comes to me and says
Man:Wamkelekile lay'khaya.
Me:Shuthi ungubani baba?
Man:Ngingumkhulu womkhulu wakho ndoda
Me:(smiling)ngiyajabula ukwazi
Man :Come with me
He leads me to the top of the mountain and the ground starts shaking.Drums start rolling,the wind blows really hard and lightning flashes as we make our way to the top.We finally get there.I see an old man wearing a crown.He is wearing leopard's skin and uboya wembuzi.He's sitting on a throne chair holding a spear in his left hand.He is a king,for sure.
Old man :Nkosinaye
Me:Baba
I say as I attempt to bow down
Old man:CHA ! A king does not bow to another.Ungazibangeli ngamashwa Nkosi
Me:Uchaza ukuthuni baba?
Old man :Ngichaza oko sengikutshilo.
Me:Kokuphi oko?
Old man:Yekela ukuba yislima mfana
This old man is playing mind games.I hate someone who's not straight forward.Manje ungicasula ngokuthi ngiyislima!
Me:(angrily)angsisona islima mkhulu!
Old man:(chuckles) I know that idiot
Me:(shouting)NGITHE ANGISISO ISILIMA ,AWUZWA NGANI?
As I shout out of frustration,lightning strikes the tree and the wind blows like never before.Out of nowhere a pride of lions stand in front of me as protection,ready to attack the old man.
Old man :Easy there higher mercy's.It was just a test.He is really the chosen one after all.
Me :A test?
Old man:(smiling)Yebo Nkosi I was supposed to make you frustrated so we can see what really happens when you're angry.That is why you have to try to remain calm at all times because your anger summons your Gods for your protection.
Me:Those Lions ?
Old man:Yebo.
Me:So what does this mean for me?
Old man:I can't tell you much but just know that you're the next heir to the throne.You are the first heir in over 150 years to carry the power of nature and being able to summon the Gods.
Me:Kanti isn't the first prince supposed to take over the throne?
Old man :That does not matter now,hlala uphephile.
He stands up from his chair and takes off his crown.He puts the crown on my head then he smears something that smells like ivimbela on my arms,legs and neck.The other men bring bracelets to him.He takes my left wrist and slides the red bracelet on then takes the blue bracelet and does the same thing.He smiles then gives me his spear.
Something tells me to walk towards the spot where the lightning struck.I take umkhonto wami ngaze ngahlahlela lapho. I turned around and saw people bowing down to me.The pride of lions walked closer to me and stood looking at me.Something urged me to say my clan names.

I said as I lift my spear
The lions bowed followed by the people.Then it started raining really hard.
After a few moments I was told to run and not look back,so I did.
***end of coma***
NOTE : THEY'RE IN A COMA AT THE SAME TIME
I open my eyes and gasp for air.I look at my left wrist and I see the bracelets I was given. I sigh as I think about my family.My mom must be so worried.I feel like a new person so let me reintroduce myself.

My name is Nkosinaye Bangizwe Zulu.Son of Queen Noluntu Elaine Zulu and King Qhawe David Zulu.I'm the second born of 4 siblings.There is my older brother Nkosikayise who is 38,my younger brother Nkosi who is 26 and my youngest brother Nkosizonke who is 24.I'm 32 years of age,I'm a businessman, an investor to newly formed companies and also the founder of NB CO's Recruit. I own chains of clubs and restaurants all around the country,still working on making them all around the world.We might be royalty and stuff but my parents made sure to make us work for our own things.They made sure to give us an education and freedom just like any other normal being.I'm 6'5 in height ,caramel skinned,medium sized body ,I got some packs here and there, I do workout twice a week with my brothers,I've got a dimple on my right cheek and I got 2 different colored eyes.One is golden brown while the other is a shade of green. I'm the first person to actually have this in my family so I guess I'm special.Most of the times I wear sunglasses to avoid people asking me about my eyes. I don't really like socializing because I like my peace.I've got some bitches but they are not the clingy type so I'm good.Apparently I have a chosen one out there,hopefully muhle njengami.Anyways I just found out that I have some sort of powers and will become a king someday.Sigh!
