*****EPISODE FIVE*****
"Can't I know the hideout of that boy"? King Damunza demanded immediately he enter the inner court of his palace.
"The boy is within the province, but his particular position we cannot tell", Kuba confirmed
"Meaning there is a mystery behind his birth "? The king pressed on as he walked around restlessly and boiling in anger.
"That is exactly what we are trying to figure out" Nde added
"Figure out?" king Damunza got irritated, " figure out, oh! figure out....... After I had fed you with all you wanted and desired, you are still trying to figure out!" he spoke aloud.
"Don't bite more than you can chew" Eri, the calmest of the witches cautioned him, "remember we gave you life, weather, power and made you famous, remember we............"
Without ending her last statement, Damunza cast a spell on her and she was caged up in a strong and powerful ball like iron.
"Speak further of your goodness to me and I will feed on your blood" he roared. He threw the head he was holding to others and left the room.

Zamunda rose to his feet, wiped his tears and set off to leave the province before sunrise. The thought of how to walk across the guards and warriors at the gate struck him the second time; hence he mapped out a plan.
As he moved along gently, he noticed horses' hooves behind time. He his, allowed the horse men to ride across, and made a noise.
The men stopped, jumped down from their horses, and moved close to where they heard the sound with their hands firmly fixed to their weapons.
Zamunda unleashed immediately, and seized one of the warriors . The other one cast his spear at him, but unfortunately killed his own man whom Zamunda had used to defend himself .
Quickly, Zamunda took the dead man's sword and went after his opponent who's charged back at the same time. They fought but Zamunda killed him without wasting much energy. He took one of their sword and spear . he zoomed off.
First , he rode to the valley of Karishika where he had lived. On getting there, he saw a troop consisting twenty-one horsemen who had gone to search for him in the same valley.
In a disguised voice, he asked the leader if they were able to find Zamunda . He rode passed them in pretence to go ransack the valley properly when the leader gave him "no" as an answer.
Kasuwa, the commander of the troop and friend of Gambazu reasoned how only one warrior could be able to come that part alone, and then moved into the valley without asking for backup. He followed Zamunda and ordered his men to come with him.
Zamunda collected his keg of water, some food and clothes. All these he tied to the horse's back and quickly galloped out of the valley.
As he charged his horse to fave the main track, he was surrounded by the troop he MRT on his way to the valley.
"Remove the mask covering your face , warrior" Kasuwa ordered him
He remembered how his mother was murdered, and dashed swiftly towards them, expertly swinging his sword left and right , to show he had never been a coward all his life.
He slaughtered the twenty -one warriors while he allowed Kasuwa to escape with a very serious bleeding right arm.
He had wanted to pursue after Kasuwa, but retrieved when he reasoned that the young man was only being deceived by the friend, albeit he knew that Kasuwa's escape meant a very big harm, and something fast has to be done or he would be trapped.
