4220 Words
Chapter one It was a cool,Saturday morning on the bank of River melanne. The weather was bright as the rays of the early morning sun streamed through the palace glass windows of the royal Duell's family home in the riverine community of Melanne. As an early riser, princess Tina the elegant wife of Prince Marcus Duell, heir apparent to the throne, stood behind the window to take a glimpse of the beautiful scene around the waterside. With a curvy smile on her face, the elated princess raised up her nose to take in a short refreshing scent of the early morning breeze blowing softly from the back end of the gentle flowing River. While standing all alone, from behind her came her new found love: the prince. They had just wedded and came on honey moon in this new environment. Walking briskly, he got close to her from behind. Gently and lovingly both his arms circled his bride. She shook and giggled back at him. It was very obvious these were two love birds on their first honeymoon in the beautiful isolated island where the new family house of the rich Duells was now located. The honey moon journey was planned to take the couple as far as the interior part of the island. Looking expectantly, into the eyes of his wife ,the prince softly questioned "T-Love?" a nick name he fondly calls her. "Are you ready now for some adventure ?" " Oh sure!" replied his wife. " I just can't wait any longer let's go right away" She replied, taking in an excited short breath. As a lot of preparations had earlier gone on towards this honey moon adventure trip. The royal guards were called in and made to get ready the horse drawn cart. Which all had been specially, prepared for the adventure trip into the woods. By arrangements made, the newly wedded couple would be using the opportunity to spend quality time alone together, have fun and go sight seeing in a natural physical environment, devoid of the hustle and bustle of city life. This would add some spice and vitality to their royal marriage which ended barely a week earlier. All provisions were made for security, feeding and drinks especially, the queen's favourite fruit drink made from a combined mixture of tropical and western fruits called: " Lemonix " With all set and done, the honey moon adventure trip commenced as the traveling team of three royal guards, well dressed in a purple coloured, well tailored top jacket with inner long sleeved shirt and a brightly coloured tie to match, worn over immaculate white trousers and matching expensive purple coloured shoes, stepped into the carriage wagon.The chief rider mounted the wheels behind the horse. Next, came prince marcus, beaming with soft smile, walking gracefully with his princess wife both holding hands. The adventure loving couple climbed unto the multi- colored seat of the royal cart waiting. The few family members joyfully watching events as they unfolded all this while, waved farewell at them. Based on signal from the charming prince, there rang out a direct voice command from the chief rider. The leading horse stepped out and the journey began with the galloping sound of the horse's hoofs gradually, drowning off as the entourage moved into the shrub and flowered covered path leading to the deeper parts of the beautiful, slightly dense, forest island where much exciting stories and events untold took place. As the royal carriage wagon moved on the princess turned her head to her husband. looked straight into his eyes and screamed " thank you for this day !! I love it" all to the delight and intense pleasure of everyone present. The journey went on smoothly for an hour plus without any hitches. After the much hard but interesting driving through the rough and bumpy narrow pathway through the island, they came to their point of first challenge. The challenging occurrence happened to be a little c***k in the wooden bridge ahead of them. Due to much exposure to the heat from the sun, compression had set into the wooden structure of which the bridge was made of.This had led to a very big impassable gap in the middle section of the bridge length. As the approaching wagon of the royal couple approached the broken bridge, the sharp eyed princess was the first to sight hole, even before the chief rider in charge of the horse-drawn wagon. On seeing the danger sight ahead, Princess Tina, quickly shifted close to her husband sitting by her side. At the same moment, she grabbed him by his shoulder and shouted "stop the horse!" to the chief Rider, which he immediately did out of his much experience of driving a carriage wagon. As the wagon came to a halt. The guards were the first to get down and they walked briskly,to the site on the bridge. The prince and princess followed them behind to inspect the gaping hole, clearly visible, on the wooden, compacted bridge. "What do we do now?" questioned princess Tina to her charming husband as the both stood under the blazing rays of the rising sun. "Do not worry " he said. "everything will be fine" was his brave reply to her. "More so", he added with a blatant look, "Our men here can fix it," " isn't it?" he quizzed; turning to face the guards who were already deliberating on their next line of action. "Yes my prince" replied the senior guard on behalf of the other two. "Let's get some bamboo stems and fill up the c***k, then we can cross over the gap in the bridge and cross over safely. Hearing this encouraging words from the senior guard, brought a bright glow to the face of the almost fainting princess. Whom the slight hitch was already becoming of much concern to. Knowing full well that without crossing over the bridge, there would be no more hope of continuing the trip into the hinder part of the island. This was an adventure trip that meant so much to her and partner on a special occasion as this. The thought of anything aborting it scared her intensely. Although, in her little wisdom and to avoid putting any strain on her loving prince husband, she never showed it on her face. As though sensing her thoughts, the prince, turning to her cheerfully said "my angel" whatever is happening now is part of the adventure, so feel good about it and get to enjoy yourself." " I guess you are right" the princess replied. The guards got together and made their way into the nearby thick forest to cut down bamboo timber. This was unplanned but luckily, they had a cutter matchet on them. Which became a very indispensable tool for the task. About seven bamboo timber stems were out and brought down. The men put them on their shoulders, brought them to site and got down to work. They also,cut some natural binding ropes from the palm tree fonds which littered that area of the Island. Using this ropes, they tied up the long bamboo stems together. Carefully, hooking them up at the top, middle and bottom sections to avoid wobbling when placed in the broken section of the bridge. After working for a few minutes, the mental and manual expertise of the guards paid off, as the gap in the bridge was mended and a flawless bridge on which they travellers carriage - wagon could drive through, again emerged. What a big relief it was to see, for these two royal lovers on honey moon adventure out in the woods Soon as the bridge was completed, the wagon drove ahead to a land of strange local inhabitants on the Island. These were an unknown tribe of primitive people inhabiting the place. Strangely, enough record of their existence was not known.They were living so deep inside the island where no man would normally approach. Where it not for the adventure trip, neither could this group have discovered them. As the visitors drove into the arena a chorus of humming sounds were heard from all direction. As at this time, the Sun was gradually setting. The team of royal couple and guards although, afraid they were not surprised by the sight they saw or the amazing discovery. Since earlier, before the trip commenced, studies made showed that there was the possibility of existence of a strange people within the deep recesses of the Island. This was a conclusion made as sailors travelling along the sea way of the island at different times and occasions, have reported seeing strange movement of what appeared to be humans; sneaking out to the water edge but disappearing back into the thick forest of the Island before the could be tracked. Chapter Two The adventurous royal couple and team by an unexpected turn of events, had stumbled on a historic discovery all by themselves . The scene playing before their very eyes was quite fascinating and unbelievable.The team had just discovered a group of local native inhabitants living within the deep interiors of the popular Melanne Island. "Could this be real or just a dream?" muttered the princess. " Oh sure, it's for real!" the elated prince fired back" "Let's move closer but with caution" ordered, the prince to the chief rider. As they drove closer, they could see the group of the local tribes people arranged in a large circle; jubilating and dancing. Some men were standing, others sitting, while a few group of women and children sat down yelling and cheering at the dancers and local wrestlers, doing their thing at the other end of the circle. Dum! dum! dum!" Went the sound of the local drums from the three drummers. who were seated on a bench carved from wood. The drum sound was accompanied by the sweet whistling sound from the local wooden flute held by a tall lanky, slightly dark, complexioned youth. These were all natives, living far from civilization. It appeared so amazing that they were not fully clothed, neither were they totally naked. Both the males and females, young and old among them were clad with animal skin as their clothing. Also, tiny strips of animal skin was used to cover just the private regions and chest region, for the women. While the men had the skin worn as pants just on the waist area. They all had a fair skin complexion which now appeared a bit darker. This perhaps, due to direct exposure to the sun as they only lived in make shift structures made of tree branches, stones and leaves. As the group, cautiously approached the circle of jubilating natives, different thoughts raced through the mind of each member of the adventure team. This is a discovery that could lead them to national fame and recognition, when the news gets to the city on their return from this highly exciting expedition. "How do we approach them now?" Was the question from a guard." Let's go as friends not as strangers." said, the wise prince. " But what if they attack us?" the princess added "Looks unlikely they'll do that since It's a celebration moment for them, that should give us an edge I suppose" concluded the Prince. However, he continued " I suggest some one should approach them first, to see how they react to our presence" It was agreed among them that the guards should first go. The three guard boldly stepped out of the thicket from where the team had taken cover all this while and observed this strange gathering . Stepping out gently, and walking slowly with a beaming friendly look, they got closer to the natives . Their close proximity, attracted the immediate attention of the entire group on cultural display. A sudden and brief cessation of drumming and dancing suddenly took over. As all eyes turned from the wrestlers and dancers entertaining the gathered group, towards these three strange looking beings, dressed in fine attire, coming out of the blues and walking so audaciously into their midst. It was a mixture of excitements and surprise for this local natives of melanne Island who have been cut off from civilization till moment. The three guards were in apprehension, but maintained their composure despite. Moving out into the midst of these surprised island inhabitants, they all raised up both hands simultaneously, as though they had rehearsed it. Putting up a friendly smile on their faces, the guards shouted to the group "Helloo" At the same time glancing left and right towards the gazing eyes of the local natives. Watching closely, from behind the nearby flower plants, the royal couple trembled with a mixture of excitement and fright on the unforeseen outcome of all the happening before their very eyes.It was a good day as mother luck shined down on the guards. Who by now were directly in the midst of the group. All the natives in an instant, rushed towards the three standing guards, bowed to them, squatted and held unto their shoes in a kind of worship posture. While holding unto their shoes, they cried out loud in their native tongue: The gods have are here! the gods have come! "Confused, the youngest guard asked; "what are they doing?" " They think we are gods come out of the Island river or the sky. For that reason, they are trying to pay homage" replied the well travelled chief guard who is versatile and understands multi languages. How intriguing the unfolding scenario was to the prince and his lovely wife as they watched from behind the green leaved trees close by. To the couple, another interesting phase of their honey moon trip, which was loaded with adventure had only just began. The excitement of the gathered island dwellers had risen greatly,due to the sudden emergence of the servants of the gods; a perspectives which the natives held concerning the three thee guards. There was a boisterous noise, much joy and wonder among the Island local inhabitants due to the emergence of the strange guests. The gathered, island dwellers unknown to them were yet to see the soon to be revealed couple. Who were senior masters to the guard s..The amazed couple, were still in hiding, waiting for the right time to show up before the locals. The guards however, satisfied with the reception accorded them, drew the natives attention to the prince and his wife, by beckoning and pointing repeatedly towards their concealed position. This act, made the natives suspect some thing was down there in the shrubs. Before, they natives could take any action, the royal couple quickly made their way out into the open. This they did knowing fully well that they were now safe to reveal themselves to the expectant gathered local group.. The warm reception and attention received by their guards, was an impetus to them to step out into the open with out fear. Sighting the royal couple, as they stepped forward towards them, the local inhabitants screamed, jumped up and down in excitement and wonder. The coming of the couple was seen as the arrival off another special god and goddess to their midst .. To whom the three guards were now taken as servants of these two god and goddess referring to the couple.. The arrival of Prince Marcus and his wife Princess Tina, both elegantly dressed in their beautiful royal outing attire, captivated the searching eyes of the island dwellers. Princes Tina drew closer and clung tightly, to her husband as the island men and few women rushed at and surrounded them. They now ignored for a brief moment, the three guards who stood by and watched quietly , he sudden turn of events occasioned by the entrance of their master and his wife.The natives were now more resolute and believed that truly the gods had actually come down to endorse their cultural festival. Which was the live celebration and event that was on going before the coming of the adventure team .Now, Princess Tina, amazingly, surprised and a bit shaken with fright asked in a low tone "Are you sure we 're still safe standing here, among this people"? to this, the prince did answer, " do not fear! we are totally safe and secure." True, to his words they actually were. More so, as the news of their presence in the remote island had spread far and even to the ears of the community Ruler - the clan head of the natives community. Who already, had sent that the august visitors be brought before him without hesitation. At this time, the group of natives with heads bowed, were still kneeling before the princess and her husband prince Marcus. The messengers from the natives' clan Ruler and head arrived with a great trump. The messengers walked straight into the circle of people surrounding the royal couple. Spoke briefly, to the people and beckoned to the the Prince and his team to follow them to see their number one man and chief ruler in charge of the community. "Are they taking us captives or what?" Said prIncess Tina, with alarm in her voice" " No! It's Far from tha. Just wait and see, I sense we've been invited to appear before some one in higher authority " replied the prince, judging from the appearance of the messengers who came. A fact which the chief guard corroborated. He had listened as the messenger s from the clan head spoke in their own tongue which he, clearly understood. Without further delay, the adventure team found themselves, although, much to their joy and fulfilment, being escorted to the official residence of the clan ruler of this remote of melanne Island. Chapter 3 The short walk down was made with the messengers of the clan head walking in front. While the prince and princess followed next, the guards came behind them,finally,few selected leaders from the crowd took the last position in the queue. The march down to the clan Ruler's court and residence was quite pleasurable . Most especially to the royal princess. As it reminded her of some of her favourite, fictitious, jungle movie she always watched in her childhood days Here was a real experience of it, what's more she and her spouse were even,playing lead roles . oh what a honey moon encounter it was. She kept thinking and walking about all this. Not until her beloved husband by her side, shook her back to awareness with the words:" Angel, are you okay" with a smile and a short laugh, "o sure!" was her answer to him. "I was just thinking back on some jungle stories!" "That's okay but now,we are the story maker for real" The couple continued happily conversed as the trailed along behind their guide to the Ruler. Not too far into the forest,path they met a fascinating event. .A colony of chimpanzee were seen. Funny enough, two, a male and female were mating under the shade from the big branches of an iroko tree. "Oh my goodness! Just look at that " exclaimed the princess as the sighted the two mammals expressing mutual love act." Funny mammals, it's their home here in the wilderness so they have express right to do as they desire here". Still as they moved on, a little, to their right side, was a cluster of brightly coloured wood- pecker birds. Singing and chirping uncontrollably, in the trees .As they walked on through the woods, the met some crazy but clever monkeys, leaping from tree to tree. The monkeys would pluck fruits off some tree, eat and then, throw down the left over at the intruders on foot. The sight of the animals and birds were a very unforgettable experience not just to the Royal couple, but even to the guards themselves. After a brief walk of less than an hour, they all arrived at the residence of the clan head. To the amazement of the adventure team members,it was actually, the local palace of the clan head. Who turned out to be of average height, with a robust body,light skinned man. with a stern looking face. He stood up to welcome his guests. Showing how much respect he had for his visitors. Using, the chief rider as an interpreter, the clan head welcomed them. He asked if they were truly humans or spirits? as his people who first met them relayed to him the presence of some strange persons whom they concluded were possibly Some deities that emerged from their sacred River melanne. To this the Prince responded by talking through interpreter. " we are humans, your highness. We are not gods, rather I am a prince and here besides me is my bride. She also is a princess from the city. We've come out to have a holiday outing on the island, but came too far into the interior and came to a point we and our three guards standing here, were stranded in the wilderness. Having, missed our track we had to make the journey on foot for a while.It was then we stumbled on your subjects and settlers in your cultural arena. From there, we were taken down and found our self here." "It is a great honour to have you with us, we are a stranger loving tribe." Said the clan head, "Your coming is ordained of the gods of our land and rivers.I and my people will take good care of you all, and take you round the deeper parts of the Island to show your team, some important places, animals and some of our cultural artifacts." The clan head,speaking, through the interpreter continued;" We have a special hut reserved where you and your guards can lodge for the period of your stay here." He directed his speech to prince Marcus,who seemed in his eyes, to be the head man of the entourage.With this brief meeting and introduction, the adventure team were led away to the make shift hut. Made of stone mixture and sand. The roof and walls of bamboo stems,and palm tree rafters.. It was the best home the local natives could build for themselves using available materials.. These were a race of people, yet, far behind civilization. The lived in this local thatched houses, roofed with rafter leaves from palm trees and others. It was quite, a puzzle to the prince and his wife- princess Tina, how these set of island inhabitants where not yet discovered till the moment by the civilized world. Nevertheless, it was no more so as, their presence there had put an end to all that puzzle. What a great news, this would make on their return to town. Also, it will really bring to lime light this expedition team led by the royal couple. The excitement of these discovery was so much for princess Tina, that she screamed "eureka" as they were led by the clan head servant to their lodging apartment. The excitement of these discovery was so much for princess Tina, that she screamed "eurekaa" as they were led by the clan head servant to their lodging apartment. This happened to be a very large two room apartment , beautifully furnitured with few locally made chairs. It was really refreshing being in this natural environment with an entirely different kind of people. The couple on entering the house glancedup and down to catch a proper view of their new lodge. A look at the room showed that it was built with materials from the environment.The wall was painted with a brownish colouration, while the floor was laid with some natural shiny stones.This appeared to have been brought from stone pebbles found along River beds.There were two windows in the Hut.One to the right and another directly beside the opened door to the house. This was the best the clan head could offer to the couple. In recognition of the fact that, he considered bthem to be of the royal stock. A locally made Lantern was well positioned on a wooden stool , standing right in the middle of the Hut. This was meant to serve as illumination light in the room. A chair without arms was by the corner,while another more executive like padded chair was beside it. The Princess tired out by the stress from the trip and the whole episode, threw her self down on the well decorated wooden bed. Immediately, she called out to her husband, so where can one get some chilld drinks?. Smiling back at her with amusement, the Prince said to her " chilled drinks are not found in arenas of this nature honey!" On hearing the conversation going on between his master and the wife, the senior guard ,quickly responded by drawing the Prince attention to the hidden bottle of Lemonix drink in his camp bag whichb he carried on his shoulders. He carried the bag all along from their last stop over point where they left the carriage- wagon. "How nice and thoughtful of you " said the belated princess. The wine was handed over to the Prince by the guard. And he moved ahead to open it right away, to the delight of his bride. The excitement was much among the adventure team having found a new home out here in the waterside Isand. ensured that the Prince and his bride had settled down, the two guards were led to their own lodge adjacent to the couple's. It was going to be a memorable night for the royal couple, as the sun had really gone down and nightfall was at hand. Left alone, the new weds had time alone to sit and discuss. The journey thus far, had been full of one activity or the other. It had not given them any allowance to really be together as expected. However, now came the opportunity. Rolling herself on the bed, princess Tina closed her eyes and took in a sharp deep breath. Spontaneously, she breathed out with a sigh of relief. "I feel great and happy to be out here on this journeys despite the stress, I should think it was worth the final outcome" she said It was time to get some rest. Which was well deserved by the entire tea The Prince being a man of care and.compassion, sat down on the sofa while his eye looked direcyly to the Princess. He had such an affectionate heart for his young wife. Beholding her beauty and elegance, Prince Marcus could not contain the emotions welling up in his inner self any longer. So he gently and slowly blurted out to her what was going on inside of him. "You look so beautiful my darling" His words cut into her deeply and she couldn't hide her joy at hearing such words from her husband at a time as this. More so she never thought her man could yet be thinking of her looks at this point in time. Softened by the sweet utterance from her loving man, she decided to shift closer to him. She got to sit face to face to her love.She then held out both hands to him with an emotional smile on her face. The waiting Prince had no choice . But to equally, shift closer to her at thesame time extending his stretched opened palms. He clasped her fingers and began to gently rub on them.Still looking into her eyes, he reminded her of his earlier promise. "You know I have always loved to make you happy! Now is that time. So tonight before we go to lay down and rest, permit me to express my love to you once again. He drew her closer with his left hand on the nape of her neck, the right hand placed gently on her chicks as they kissed for the first time on the Island. This was the first intimate act after such a long trip through the Island to where they were now. Both of them had so much to share and talk about to each other. However, the joy and excitement of the journey and the new environment wouldn't permit them to discuss any irrelevant issues, outside the scope of the trip and occurrences so far experienced by them .It was time to get some rest.

She hoped it was safe . As they had left it not knowing, they would not return to it immediately. The events that transpired from the point of entrance into the island interior Up to when the entire team ran into the natives. happened so fast. Such that there was no time to check for some trivialities. However, now that some settlement had come to them, it was just about the right time now, to put consideration into the where abouts of the wagon and the safety of the animals, being the Horses that pulled the cart wagon. She threw a question to her husband just to being him into her thought area of concern. "Who's in charge of the horses and wagon honey"? Honey was one name she would always call him when feeling so happy. "Before we were moved away from the cultural display arena to meet the clan head, I did lodge a request to the messengers he sent to convey us to himself." " I requested that they take custody and ensure proper care, and feeding for the animals". His answer brought much relief to the Princess who was such an animal lover. "It is about time you rest your head now" said Marcus. Hearing this and also, seeing how concerned he was for her, and not wanting to cause any more anxiety for her sweet heart, the Princess, stood up with an appreciating wink of the eye. and walked out towards the bedroom. Entering in, she was greeted with the pleasant scent of her favourite deodorant . Which was earlier sprayed into the room before their arrival. The head guide and chief Rider, Ammo was such a great servant to have as an aid. This thought immediately came to her heart . Knowing that Ammo did make all necessary arrangements to get their few belongings to the lodge ahead of their entry. His ability to understand multi- languages, enabled him to communicate with the natives. Thereby,enhancing co-operation between the adventure team and the rest of the island people. Most especially,the Island head. Whom they owed this warm reception and hospitality to. The Island clan -head as they soon discovered was addressed as " Oba" which means: " His royal Highness" by the close aids and top leaders working with him. This confirmed to the couple that he was actually, the king, at their own level of civilization. The pleasant atmosphere of the room brought amazement to the Princess. How did the bed be so beautifully laid out and the room made so comfortable? Surely,the natives couldn't be this knowledgeable as to set this up! While she was still engrossed in this thought, Prince Marcus walked in and joined her in the bedroom. She had been undressing all the while . Now she appeared in her beautifully made silk and orange coloured night wear. The sight of his new bride in this appealing gown was a delight to Marcus. He reached out hugged her to his chest and gave her a light Pat on her back and they both withdrew from each other It wasn't time yet to go all the way as he planned to do with his wife. Tina laughed, and told him with a sparkling look in her eyes,,:" Common, put off those tight clothes and get into yours okay"? Laughing out loud, he obeyed. Now that they were both in their night dresses,the atmosphere around them was now more relaxing. They both lay down finally to rest and await what the next day had in store for them. True to her imagination, the honey moon was really becoming a greater thrill than imagined to her. . As they prepared to sleep, the Princess quietly, made a request. " Darling, you can read to me some bed time stories to put me to sleep pls"? " Oh sure! Of course I will.Your'e my little baby right now, and am really going to treat you as one, hang on."! He made for his suitcase by the bed side with his left hand. Out of it he brought out his story book which he had carefully. concealed waiting for the right time. Which was just staring him now, in the face. With a joy and happiness that knows no bounds,prince Marcus read out a story on the adventures of a start maid on a strange continent to her hearing. She sneaked closer him on the bed as the story line unfolded. Not very long into the adventure tale, the prince could only hear the gentle sound of light breathing from his adorable wife. He looked at her sleeping with a satisfied glance, close d the story book and slid under the bed spread next to her. Sounds of a n Bird rang through the air of the Island, mixed with the chirping sounds from a cricket by the window of the makeshift apartment, housing the royal couple.
