BAYAN MUTUWA (The Letter of Blood)
Book One
...and trousers made of the same tough animal hide, hugging his legs tightly, fitted with a sturdy belt holding his sharp hunting knife and a quiver of arrows slung across his back, while holding his powerful bow in his left hand.
When he stepped deep into the forest, the silence of the woods was suddenly broken by the sounds of wild beasts. Without any hesitation, Prince Zainur tracked a massive, rare-horned beast that had eluded even seasoned hunters for years. As he chased his quarry deeper into the forbidden territory of the forest dwellers, he unknowingly crossed their sacred boundary lines.
Suddenly, a hail of poisoned arrows rained down from the dense canopy above. Prince Zainur moved with supernatural agility, dodging and deflecting the projectiles with his bow and knife. Out of the shadows of the giant trees, dozens of muscular, paint-smeared pagan warriors rushed him, howling war cries meant to paralyze their victims with terror. But Zainur felt no fear. His heart was as cold as steel.
Drawing his bowstring to its maximum tension, he unleashed a barrage of arrows with pinpoint accuracy, dropping the lead attackers instantly. When they closed in for hand-to-hand combat, he fought with a ferocity that defied his tender age of fourteen. He swung his heavy hunting blade with devastating precision, cutting through their ranks like a reaper through wheat. Word of the fierce young intruder quickly spread through the pagan encampment, sending shockwaves through their millions of inhabitants who had never imagined that a single human youth could breach their defenses and survive, let alone fight back with such merciless skill.
By the time the sun reached its zenith, the ground around Prince Zainur was littered with fallen adversaries. Recognizing his unmatched prowess and fearing total annihilation, the remaining pagan warriors dropped their weapons and fell to their knees, signaling surrender. For the first time in over a century, the unbreakable law of the forest had been rewritten by a fourteen-year-old boy.
Back in the capital of Lailatul Harus, news of Prince Zainur's incredible victory reached the palace and the military barracks simultaneously. While his mentor, Army Commander Haiman, beamed with immense pride, Wazir Ridwan received the news with a mixture of shock and deep unease. Ridwan realized that his son was not only turning away from the pursuit of wealth and luxury, but was also growing into a formidable warlord whose power and influence among the military could severely disrupt his own clandestine plans for the throne.
Meanwhile, Princess Nuwaira continued to excel in her duties as Galadima. Under her strict and fair administration, the national treasury (Baitul Mali) flourished, corruption was rooted out, and the wealth of the kingdom was properly channeled into public welfare and infrastructural development. The citizens praised her wisdom, and King Aiyuba looked upon his daughter with growing satisfaction, knowing that his empire was safe in her hands.
However, far away in the kingdom of Hirama, King Murwatu was struggling. Despite receiving the massive loans of food and gold from King Aiyuba, his attempts to reform his barren lands and build irrigation canals were facing massive resistance from local factions and natural obstacles. The one-year deadline given by King Aiyuba was rapidly approaching, and Murwatu knew that failing to repay the loan with the promised one-third interest would invoke the wrath of the greatest sorcerer-king on earth. Desperate to avoid a humiliating defeat or death, Murwatu began plotting behind the scenes, seeking out dark, forbidden alliances to challenge King Aiyuba's supremacy...
