The men the leader of Akere sent to go and bring back his daughter from the forest were shocked to see soldiers from Moza already rounded Mira up where she laid. The soldiers from Moza sighted the men from Akere and one of them asked," who are those men?"
"You don't know them?" The leader of the Moza soldiers asked and added, "there will be battle here and now. Those men are from Akere. They are here to take this girl back to Akere"
The leader carried Mira up from the ground and placed her on his horse. The men from Akere tribe on seeing this knew the Moza soldiers were ready to battle them. They rode forward and faced them. "The lady on your horse is not from Moza but from Akere. We urge you to release her to us or there will be battle" the leader of the men from Akere spoke.
"The Moza King have heard all and knows also that the lady in question does not wish to return to Akere. Why not go back to Akere and give your leader this message, tell him that Mira now belongs to Moza. He can keep Kendrick and when the time comes even Kendrick will not save Akere land from the disaster that the Moza King will bring" the leader from Moza said.
"Is your king not an evil man? To threaten to kill his own son and destroy Akere is he not a wicked fellow? One of the men from Akere spoke.
That statement got the soldiers from Moza angry and the battle began. One of the soldiers from Moza mounted the horse Mira was lying on and sped off through the thick forest back to Moza. The battle in the forest was terrible but there was no much casualties as both enemies retreated back to their lands.
On getting to Moza, the soldier that was carrying Mira dismounted from his horse and the palace servants helped him take Mira inside.
The men from Akere returned without Mira and told their leader and Kendrick what had happened and what the King of Moza planned on doing.
Kendrick was lost. He slowly walked into the room where Mara was still lying with her eyes closed and sat beside her, holding her cold hands. " get well fast precious. I have always wanted peace throughout the whole lands. I tried my best to find out why Akere and Moza are motal enemies but my father was always angry to hear Akere on my lips. Get well because I need you beside me to help me in this fight"
In Moza, the King of Moza was sitting on the bed where Mira was lying with her eyes closed as he says, "I would have preferred you to be my only child. You are bold and strong. You wanted your sister dead because of my stupid son but the truth is that none of them deserves your love. I will give you all you desire. I will give you the power and authority in Moza. You will be my heir and you will destroy Akere"
