Chapter 69

"You're lucky you've found your powers", I can't help the jealous in felt over that.

Am Happy for him as a friend, but I can't help wishing I was the one with the powers no matter how that will look as weakness for an Ugali royal.

It would have been better than none, a healer Prince is more better and will be more appreciated to a powerless prince, a prince that can't save himself talk more of his subjects.

" You will unleash yours", he smiled, "don't worry yours will be more powerful than mine, you will see that".

I don't see myself possessing any magical gift, it will be a bad decision on the board of directors of Habigalima if they find out am a lost cause.

" How positive are you about that?", I can't help but ask, they all tell me I will unleash my powers, I will discover my hidden powers, and all that trash, but have they stopped to consider am well pass the age of magical unleashing?.

" Have you heard in history of a person who got their gifts days, weeks, months or years after their seventeenth Birthday?", I shook him, "answer me Kwofo, have you?".

" You might be the first you know, you can change history. A high Prince thought to be a mutt unleashes a power never seen before, that will make a nice book title", he smiled encouragingly, "don't give up until its over, you might not know what the gods have in store for you".

" You don't understand what it means to be in the position am in now. How do you expect me to smile as if everything is alright while waiting for the gods who deserted me when my mom died?. How Kwofo?, tell me?".

"The gods knows the reasons for their actions, it's not our position to question them on their actions. They know what's good for us".
