Chapter 2 - The Threat of Ruz
People continued to live sweet lives until a threat arose. It was the gigantic Monster of the East, a powerful creature that had tavelled due West and had come across a land 'filled with gold and silver ' so he says. ' This land is beautiful and I shall take over its wealth,' he says. On the birthday of the Princess, while everyone was partying, he rushed into the City and rampaged it, stealing all the gold and silver he could lay hands on and in the process, killed several people. The people were sober, nothing like this had ever happened in the History of Ruz. The Princess and her mother were sad and worried but the King and his Cabinet were furious. They wanted to know who this intruder was and how he could inflict so much damage in just a small amount of time. From the information gathered, it was noted that he stays in the woods. 'My Lord,we must act fast before he comes back, ' one of the chiefs spoke. 'Get the worriors ready and summon Gregory,they are to leave in three days time,' King Tholu ordered. Unfortunately, three days time was quite far in that the monster attacked again two nights later and this time, killing more people, destroying homes and taking young girls and children as captives. All this was in a matter of minutes. The next morning, there was so much wailing and sadness in the land. The King wondered how powerful the fool was to have been able to stand quite a number of his worriors and still escape with all he took.
