"When Prophecy Challenges Blood"

Chapter 7: 1998- The stranger "Luther Kong"

Halt!
"A fire arrow sliced through the bitumen sky, striking a stalk as a trail of footsteps appeared. Chatam rushed forward, from a vintage point into the spotlight, the cannon flag hung on top of the clean walk way, sweeping through his head as he faced off the tower."

Do you say Luther Kong has seized his water!

Yes! Your Majesty

Why do you like Luther Kong, Your Majesty?

Luther Kong should not be trusted, but he must be deceiving us into thinking he is a good man by demonstrating how he has addressed the region's water shortage.
"Chatam's personal guard, Gauis, smiled through, showing off his dimple."

Gauis, it appears that you are more knowledgeable about Luther Kong than I am. How much do you know about him? "Chatam remark straightening his gaze towards the tower."

His father ruled over Gutham Central when the area was still united, and it was his death that caused the region to become divided in 1980's. Sadly, your majesty Luther Kong was Richford's last child. His two other late half brothers, Thai kong and Pai kong, succeeded Richford after his death. Prior to Richford's passing, word spread throughout the country that he had specified in his will that the only person he wanted to rule the land was Pai because he was bold and had the characteristics of a king, just like him.
"With a sigh, Chatam released his savour."
Your Majesty I came from the Thai and Pai's clan, so I am fully aware of this. Since they were born as twins, they brought divinity to the kingdom. They were also loved and brought peace to Gutham, but that peace was short-lived, and Luther Kong's birth marked the beginning of the kingdom's downfall.

Do you not have any more interesting stories to share, Gauis?
How long has it been since you visited your clan? I have been listening to this for over ten years.

Gauis quises, looking down and grinning, "Your Majesty, my clan lives in Pashiti; that is where my clan is."

Pashiti! I have heard that young people never age! It makes sense that you will always look young.

"Gauis smiled more broadly! Your Majesty, let us go to Pashiti together to see some beautiful sights!

Gazing around, Gauis approaches as though he wants to remove some dirt from chatam cloth.

"What do you think you are doing?" asked Chatam, squealing his nose and looking down.

Prince Chatam! What caught your attention about the young lady you brought to the palace? She's just a servant with no title, and you know she is never welcome into the palace besides she is prone to more risk in the palace than outside.
"Smiling and leaving, chatam remark" Gauis, she is not a servant and is now engaged to me. I am sure you would not just start talking about her if you were not interested in her, so you can ignore her.

"A trail of footsteps appeared, taking Chatam's hand and guiding the group upward while sweeping their head through the flag and moving in the direction of the building on top of the hill."
.........

Did you just mention that the prince of Gutham is calling for my attention outside the palace?

Yes, your majesty "He replied, lowering his head and carefully repositioning his fallen sword."

He took a quick look at the open-sided window before squinting through it to see the guards outside the palace, who were clutching and pressing their shields against the elaborately built tower. A group of royal guards were practicing the toss and catch with their swords.

.........

Chatam was seen leaping up and down on the sand that leveled above his feet as he walked through and leveled his feet on the uneven ground.

"Despite the fact that Gutham North
ought to be the capital of Gutham given its appearance and its abundant water and stone resources, the division of the country granted the west the right to hold power and to keep the Central title following Richford's death."

"The image depicts Gauis grinning and examining the stones, touching them and examining their undersides".

You should be careful next time so that we do not lose another treasure."After handing his guard his cloak and clasping his palm, Luther Kong approached Chatam and his guards.

I must have had such a big heart to bring the entire west to visit the north. "Chatam, who maintained his composure, looked down at Luther and his broad-built arm, which shook him violently. His short arm length armor exposed the tissue on his elbow following the tight grip.
