"I don't know if I should tell the King about her. Maybe I should just let it be. He well senses her presence as soon as she regains her strength and that's if he is not sensing her presence already. He probably does feel like something is off and most likely ignoring it. If he has the feeling, it won't go away until he meets her and we cannot interfere, everything must take its natural course."
Mbuyiselo: Dad, she is awake again and she looks better this time.
"Ok, I am coming, where is your mother?"
Mbuyiselo: She went to the river; she is probably at the beach. She said something about praying and she said something is weighing heavy on her. It might be something to do with our new guest and the prince.
"We'll hear from her when she is back. Let me check on our guest. Has she said anything about how she got here?
Mbuyiselo: She is still confused as to how she got here. She remembers bits and pieces, but she can't put them together.
"Let's not tell her anything yet. Let us see if she can remember on her own and the prince will come to her drawn by her energy. Since you are not using your apartment, do you think you can let her use it in the meantime? She will need a place to stay and a job, maybe you can talk to your girlfriend about a job at the flower shop.
Mbuyiselo: She can have my apartment. I was going to rent it out anyway and I'll talk to Lelo about the job; it shouldn't be a problem since they are looking for people anyway.
"Thank you, son. I appreciate it. Don't over think it Mbuyiselo. They are made for each other. When the time is right for them to meet, they will, and everything will work out, not without challenges though.
As soon as we walk into her room she turns and looks at us. She was looking outside at the garden which is very peaceful and has a beautiful pond as the view. She looks so drained and exhausted. She should recover soon though and her life back but now she will be starting over at a new place that she is not familiar with. At the same time, I sense that whatever drove her here, it will catch up with her. Her past will follow her here
"How are you feeling today?"
Her: Tired and confused.
"What is your name?"
Her: Iyana and you?
"I'm Temba the Royal Seer and this is my son Mbuyiselo who is also a Seer. Do you remember what happened to you Iyana?
Iyana: Not really, it's all so confusing.
"Don't worry, it will all come back to you. You are welcome to stay here as long as you need to.
Iyana: Thank you.

"I know I ran away from home, but I do not know how I got here. I can't stay here for long, what if my family finds me. I know they can easily find me. I must leave. I must be out of here before they pick up my scent. I can't risk these people's lives. My family cannot find me here. I still cannot believe that my parents were willing to risk my life just for a deal they made. Doesn't my happiness matter to them. To make matter worse is that they know I can't just marry anyone now they want me to marry someone I don't even love."
Temba: Do not worry too much. No one will find you here. You are safe here.
"How did you know I was..."
Temba: I am a Seer.
"I know I ran away from home and why but don't remember how I found this place."
Temba: You found it because you were meant to find it. Even if you didn't run away from home, you would have found your way here regardless. Don't worry about what you don't remember, it will come to you.
"I hope so because I can't help but feel like I am forgetting something important. On the other hand, I feel drawn to place. I feel like there is this energy that's calling my name, and it wants me to stay. I am scared to stay here for too long. I don't want them to find me here."
Temba: Even if they find you here. We will protect you. Believe me when I tell you that you are safe here. This is your new start, your new beginning, your fresh start and we will help with everything that you need. The energy that you feel, soak in it, feel it and follow it if you must. I must go; I must meet with the King. My son is out, and my wife will be back soon. There is food in the kitchen when you feel like eating something.
"Thank you. I say, as he walks leaving me to my thoughts again. How am I supposed to start over. How am I supposed to do this?"

"I am sensing this new energy. I don't know, it's nagging at me."
Zwelakhe: I know what you mean. I felt it too. There is a shift in energy, a good shift. I can see that you are worrying about tomorrow.
"I just hate that every time there's a new King to be crowned, the council wants to change the rules."
Zwelakhe: It's not the entire council; it's only those that want the crown for themselves even though it's not theirs. You need to remember that not everyone wants you to take over from your father, especially your uncle, who seems to think he is next in line. He is hungry for the throne, and he is going to do anything to make sure that he sits on it or his son sits on it.
"I don't understand that man, it's like he has some kind of vendetta against my father. I mean it's not my father that chose to be the firstborn. My uncle is just a selfish bastard who is power hungry, and I need to find a way to deal with efficiently and the same keep him believing that he can get what he wants. I the council votes will be against this marriage thing before being crowned.
Musa: You are right about him. As the Royal Advisor I would advise removing him from the council.
Zwelakhe: Old man, when did you get here?
Musa: You are losing touch boys.
"He is losing his touch, not me. I sniffed you a mile away."
Zwelakhe: I'm not losing touch; I was just distracted by this new energy that's in the air.
Musa: You get distracted easily; you need get your focus back trouble is coming.
"What do you mean?"
Musa: Your uncle is up to something. He wants the throne for a reason. Your father has ruled this Kingdom for years and he has never fought him for the throne and now he is fighting you for it. He is up to something.
Zwelakhe: I agree with you there.
"I know what they are say is true. I've always known that my uncle is greedy but I never thought that he would want the throne which this difficult for me because he is going to regret it all in the end. I remember when my father told me who to trust and not trust and my uncle was one of the people, he told me I couldn't trust amongst other council members. Tomorrow's meeting is not going to be an easy one, but it will be easy. I just need to get through tomorrow and focus on other things.
