Chapter 3
“THE OUTCAST”
The chapter kicks off at the zulu villege , the zulu tribe sangoma( traditional healer) is having a coversation with the zulu chief GABON .
Sangoma abusi : my king, have you concluded on how you will deal with the boy yet(referring to swakiii)
GABON: The boy is protected by ZOKHU , killing him wont be that easy, and i dont see us doing that without starting a war.
Sangoma abusi : my king.... if the boy is not eliminated now ......
GABON: tell me abusi,... if i decide not to kill the boy.....do we win?
Sangoma abusi: A LOT OF WORRIORS WILL PERISH MY LORD!!!!!!!!!
GABON: u shall answer what i have asked you!
Sangoma abusi: my king...... um afraid i cannot see beyond the bloodbath of the war.
GABON: well in that case, if i somehow decide not to kill the boy , i ll just kill all their men and win the war.
Back at the tshonga village , swakii and taka are at the health center to visit khathu. He is recovering well after the swati tribe incident but he wasnt happy to see swakii and taka.

Swakii: you are awfully angry for someone who is recovering well
Khathu: recovering ? You call this recovering?(with his cut arm up) My hand was cut off!! iam a half warrior now !!! You should have listened when i told you to stay behind!!
Taka: khathu......
Khathu: he s the reason i lost my hand...... i d be careful walking around with him...now know why they say you are a curse!
Taka: khathu i know your angry right now but u need to calm down....
Swakii: its oukay taka, he s right, if i didnt chase that pig to the swatii territory his arm would still be attached . Excuse me( as he left)
Taka: swakii.....
With him feeling the guilt and blaming himself for everything that happened , he went into the forest to be alone , swakii was too deep in his thoughts he didnt even realize how deep into the forest he was.
Gabon appeared
Swakii: huuuh.... youuu! What are you doing here?
Gabon: very careless for ur chief to leave you lacking like this , i was coming to ur village to see if i can kill you but i guess i dont have to anymore , orenge boyyy(referring to her light skin colour).
Swaki: kill me? But why?
“Because you life is a risk to our kind! You breathing is a gamble for this nation . Your death will save everyone from a very bloody fate. “said a blood thirsty voice behind gabon. It was the evil swati king
Gabon: tssh! Get behind me boyy
Swakii: get behind you?? You just told me u were coming to kill me!
Gabon: geeeet behind me or diee!
Swati chief: ohhh stay calm gabon.... if i wanted him gone he d be dead now.... i dont need to kill him now.... i still need to kill you and your allied tribes first .
Gabon : what exactly did you do to yourself zitha!!! What are you ?
Swatii chief(zitha): i made a deal with the devil and he made me a god!!
