“Nothing ever happens the way you want it to so rather than
sulking or acting like the world is coming to an end get up and do some work.”
But all he does is groan.
Chapter 1
The city of Los Angeles had woken up to its hustle and
bustle of the day at 5:00am. Man has work to survive somewhere in this big city
there 17 year old Danielle lived at least 50km away from her parents.
Danielle:
I woke up to the beeping sound of my alarm clock realizing
its Monday by heart chatters into a million pieces. Though I’m not a morning
person I get up with a smile on my face remembering one of the verses in Psalm
23 says “ Ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no
evil” get the picture? The shadow of death being work and weekdays. After all
my morning duties, I leave my cramped up apartment dressed in my favorite white
top and black leggings; I work as a waitress at a restaurant ‘ La ROUSE’ three
blocks away from my apartment.
Getting to the restaurant and as usual I am always the first
to get here, quickly opening up and tidying everything up, even if its not my
job I just do it cause I enjoy it. Marty the owner of the restaurant finally
comes in just when I finish up at exactly 9:30am, I mean come on it’s a
restaurant its meant to be up and bubbling by now especially by early risers
that love having breakfast at restaurants but the nonchalance of the people I
work with will never make this place grow
last I heard he opened up this restaurant when he was twenty that’s
forty years ago and its still the same way it was. I can tell you that the five
years I have been here no change. As she and Marty unlike all the other staff
had grown to have a mutual relationship so she was hoping that when she ever
got the chance to talk to Marty about the stagnancy.
“morning Danielle, how was your night?”
“nice and sleek, and yours?”
“good as well”
Marty was on his way to his office but stopped on the way
and said something that made me really happy for him.
“I have had this pressing feeling to upgrade this joint but
I’ve really not got a clue on what this generation likes this days I don’t seem
to be catching up with it and seeing as you are the youngest kid on the block
you’ll have to be the first to ask”
Finally the said in her heart happy that change had finally
come and she would be involved in it. Do note that she wasn’t doing for the
glory but because she loved seeing this get better.
“thanks Marty, I was just going to tell you the same thing,
and I actually do have some ideas already mapped out and ready for you to ask
for it but lets agree that you’ll increase my pay” I said with a smile.
“ you never cease to amaze me” he said chuckling “ but if
that’s what will do then no biggie, we’ll have to have that idea up and running
first though”
“ I like that idea, do add that just for thinking about the
idea before you I’ll get 2% increase for now what do you say?”
“then it’s a deal”
“I would love to get this agreement officially on paper you
know.” I told him wiggling my brows.
During the course of our conversation, the other employees
had arrived and the place had begun flooding with people.
Not everyone believes in other worlds but earth but here
there are other worlds. The planet Novadah had been in existence long before
earth was even formed
Hawkins:
Waking up each day, getting ready for the day and sitting on
the throne has been my pattern for the past 11 years of my life and I’ll let
you know its boring as *uck, to think that doing it over and over again would
kinda make it interesting but no it’s not. Whoever said that being royal was
cool lied trust me on that one. Although it has its perks sometimes like the
parties, balls and most especially the hunting; I cold say I’m the best hunter
there is in the whole of Novadah.
When someone hears
the first thing they think about is war, but that’s the thing I don’t. reasons
because I hate death so much I know it’s weird but I cant care to loose anyone
I love or even see other people loose their loved ones after all that’s what took my parents from me. Both my parents
loved getting involved in wars together that’s how much they loved themselves;
they believed completely in the marriage oath ‘till death do us part’. I envy
my parents love so much each passing day wishing that one day I would get the
bone of my bone like papa used to say.
As a king,
having ministers is one thing but having loyal ministers is another. Having
both ministers on the left and right, every king has an enemy even within his
official circle. The ministers on the right were never happy and content with
the kind of king Hawkins was, they wanted a ruthless king who would conquer
more realms than they already had. Mind you this king already had a whole
planet that he had charge over, but this power hungry men wanted more domain
than they already had.
Today, a very
interesting matter had been placed on my work table about a gateway being open
and it has been heard that a lot of bandits who are meant to have been arrested
have gone through the gateway to another planet tagged earth. Things such as
this I’m supposed to send people over there to get them but seeing as the only
opportunity to leave this wonderful kingdom (note the sarcasm), don’t get me
wrong it’s not like I hate it here or anything its just that I’ve gotten really
bored of this place nothing interesting ever happens here. I decided to put
that particular matter aside, I have known for sometime now that the ministers
to my right have been engaging in illegal businesses from other realms even
within my own territory talk about disloyalty. As a good king, I love placing
concrete evidence to any matter as the need arises and this would be the
perfect time to do so. I may have knights that serve the royal family yes but
there are five men out of the whole lot that serve the throne that I can trust
with my life those men being my best friends they would be the only ones to
know of this plan till it’s in full motion, no matter how long it takes to
bring this bad seeds to justice.
