Chapter 2

After I realized he was poisoned I opened the canoj to know the type of poison he had ingested, and after checking for a while I realized that he had been poisoned with black manbin sap gotten from a tree called black manbin tree, the black manbin tree is a very dangerous tree that had been banned all over the nation, it can kill within 24hours of consumption.

In the canoj the first step was to inject the mold like substance coming out of his throat with golmite (a suppressant) which helps to slow down the poison for only 7days.

After injecting him I sat down on a chair beside him and fell asleep, I woke up and I was surprised to see my father staring at me, he signalled to me weakly to bring him a glass of water, after he took a sip of water I started firing off questions at him such as "how are you feeling currently?

who gave you the fruit ? etc...

But he did not reply he was just staring at me weakly, seeing my father lying in that state made my heart ache.

I need to find white manbin fruit as fast as I can, the white manbin fruit is the only antidote for this poison.

I left my father's room to properly analyze what happened today, I desperately need to find the white manbin fruit but I don't trust anybody in the palace, I mean anyone could have poisoned him.

After a while of thinking I went to the city to meet my friends Mars and Stellar.

Mars and Stellar are the children of Zaden (the antecedent king), they were born twins, a perfect pair.

They are the only ones I can trust right now, I went into their house and they were surprised and also happy to see me, we exchanged pleasantries before getting into the details of everything that had happened and explaining that I urgently need a white manbin fruit to save my dad.

Mars gasped in shock, then shouted "white mabin fruit!!!! This fruit can only be found in Raebin forest, a forest known to be filled with dangerous predators.

I was not worried with whatever Mars just said, all I wanted was to see my father hale and hearty.

Stellar went into her father's room and returned with a map, she gave me the map, sighed, and said "This map belongs to my father, so please return it before he notices it's gone, and ensure you come back safely." I smiled and thanked both of them and I returned to the palace.

I immediately went to my father's room he was sleeping well. I left his room and I went into my room, I saw the maegons glowing in the dark.

I took out the map to study it, after studying it for about 15minutes, I packed some necessary stuffs needed for the journey then I laid down on my bed, thousands of questions flooded my head such as,

who tried to kill him?

why was my father poisoned?

other questions flooded my head till I dozed off.

I woke up very early in the morning, I went to my father room to check on him, he was lying down with his eyes open, I held his hands and squeezed them softly, he smiled weakly. I said goodbye and left his room.

I was suprised to see Mars and Stellar waiting for me outside the palace.

"We can't let you die alone" Mars said smiling mischievously.

Stellar said it would be too dangerous for us to go through the normal path, she suggested we pass through the thamon valley.

By the time we got to the avid mountain which led directly to the heart of the forest we became very weak, we rested for a while, we used strength renewing pills and we also drank water to quench our thirst, it was already night time so we slept.

We woke up the next day to continue our journey, we were suprised to see a lot of dead creatures. We continued walking towards the forest and we saw a wounded tire pare muttered softly "run, run, monster, kill" and the talking pare died.

We continued our journey till we got to where the white marbin tree was. I was relieved when I saw a white marbin tree in front, I took a knife to cut the fruit and suddenly I heard Stellar scream.
