PATHFINDER'S SERIES
RETURN OF THE CYBORG PRINCE
Prologue
The ground battlefield had a cold malevolent air, the wind howling past the Orion warriors,angered by the mundane sight of blood and the agony of the dying men.Mazuka ,himself , was confused for a moment as Zanuk's army seemed to outnumber his soldiers- ten to one.They were driven into evil territories by Zanuk's men where they could be easily besieged and killed. The bullets from Zaduk men's machine guns were raining hell on the Orioners in a never-ending cycle of fire, coupled with the ballistic display of nuclear bombs moving through the tiniest spaces in the troubled air.
Suddenly,there was no movement, no bullets, no wind, no people. It was like they just vanished, or were never there in the first place.
**************************
I am Mazuka,the cyborg,Prince of earth.About thirty years ago,I was born on earth as a prince to Njambe,my father and maringa my mother. Njambe was a wise king who treated his subjects with kindness and respect. He was very magnanimous to the poor. He set a date aside for the poor in his kingdom to dine in his palace.He had an army that was ever ready to defend the kingdom. The army was well trained and consisted of the Infantry,Air force,Field Artillery and the Special Forces or units.
Njambe was an innovative king.He built enormous hanging gardens and canals to automatically water them in the palace.He also had labourers who see to the cleanliness of the city.The Capital of the earth's kingdom was Jalanangai.With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China , Jalanangai was one of the best planned cities on earth.The walls of the main City and its surrounding sub cities were the largest earthworks ever carried out.Jalanangai's walls were at one point “forty times longer than the Great Wall of china, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramids of Egypt. ”Situated on a plain, Jalanangai was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the gigantic city walls, other bigger walls were erected to separate the surroundings of the magnificent capital from other distinct villages in its Geographical zone. It was perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon among the planets in the galaxy. Jalanangai had huge street lights, many feet high, built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace to illuminate the gigantic edifice at night and convey her infinite glory to the other planets
My uncle Zanuk had always envied my father's enormous kingdom and beautiful wife.He made several attempts to usurp my father and took over the throne but was unsuccessful. Sensing danger ,My father sent him into exile. What he didn't know was, there were traitors in his kingdom who were loyal to Zanuk and had been updating him with every tiny piece of information on the palace.
Zanuk had always coveted my father's wife, my mother.She was a beautiful lady,Shinning like the angels beyond the far galaxies of the intergalactic clouds. With her magnificent stature adding colour and aesthetic value to the royal kingdom,and a sweet voice of ease and rhymes, it was easy to see why my unscrupulous uncle coveted her.
On that faithful day,Uncle Zanuk masterminded the death of my father.He passed through Antaxio,the royal cook to poison my father's food.The palace's physicians tried all that they could humanly do to save their king from the clutches of death but they couldn't. He died.After his demise, Zaduk returned and took over the palace,threw all those faithful to my father into prison and became the King. Determined to take over the throne forever,without me growing to claim the throne, he forcefully took me from my mother's arm ,pulled out a dagger and stabbed me through the mid section of the body.With blood oozing out,as if angered by the sudden stab ,I was thrown outside the city's wall,left at the mercy of the icy hands of death to grapple. He forcefully took my mother as his wife, raped her amidst her cry.Luckily, an alien from Orion, called Magata,servant of the goddess Perxio found me under a pile of scrap in the bush and rescue me.
Orion was a prominent constella tion located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It was one of the most conspicuous and recognizable constellations in the night sky,named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. Its brightest stars are the super giants;Beta Orionis and red Alpha Orionibs. Orion had more advanced technology than earth. It was a celestial body of light where new stars were said to be born.
Magata took me from earth and with a supersonic speed reached the Orion belt.When she reached Orion,her father mikim and mother maxio were not happy with her for bringing a stranger home. Orioners were xenophobic but they did all that they could to save my Life.
Most of my internal organs were damaged from the stab of my uncle's dagger and had to be replaced with machines. One of my eyes was replaced with an infrared devices.My heart and lungs were replaced with biomechatronic parts.The entire left limb of my body was replaced with prostheses. Been fused with machines,I became a cyborg. My wounds were healed in just three months
