      PROLOGUE

      25220.png

      L ong time ago, there was a land in the middle of Africa called Mabele. It was not known by many people because no one has seen it before and no one has heard about it for many years. I have been thinking about telling you about it before, but you were not ready to handle it. But I think this is the right time to tell you about it. This is the first book ever written about that land.

      In Mabele the law of nature was different from the rest of the world; the sun was white early in the morning, especially from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. In that time, people of the land were supposed to wake up and go to work. The white sun was giving them the strength they needed to accomplish their daily duty. Some people were tilling the ground while others were working on the metal and building road. The word laziness was not known in that land. What was special in that land was the fact that people were working in perfect collaboration with wild animals. In the midst of the jungle, we could see a young woman holding a baby while walking side by side with a huge python. What was more surprising was the fact that this woman would command the snake to fetch for her a fruit from a peak of the tree and the snake would obey her. This was the same with men tilling the earth while being helped by huge elephants.

      Then came the second time of the day called the yellow sun. It started from 12 noon to 3 p.m. In that specific time, people were supposed to rest while socialising around food. So we could see people sitting together, sharing their food, spending a wonderful time. That made Mabele the most-socialised land in the world.

      The green sun was the favourite time of young adults. It was the only time they were allowed to meet their future partners. It was the favourite time for the kids as well; they were close to their parents, enjoying some old stories. So Mabele was known as the land where everyone had his partner and no one would remain single. Then finally the blue sun. In that time of the day, people were supposed to sleep, and no one was allowed to be outside. That made Mabele the land where no thieves were found.

      These wonderful, different times had made Mabele land the kingdom where it was never dark, so men and women never knew darkness. However, that was not the only magical thing about Mabele land. It was surrounded by a huge wall of water, and there was water above the firmament. That water was in gold. According to the legend of the land, the golden water was not supposed to fall on the ground, and one drop of the golden water would destroy the entire land.

      There were only a few laws that men and women needed to keep in Mabele land. It was strictly forbidden to go outside in the blue sun; it was also forbidden to even look at the world in the blue sun. To protect themselves against the temptation of going outside, every day, one hour before the blue sun, the ruler of the blue sun would sing extremely loud to warn people to go inside their house. People had one hour to prepare themselves and go inside their house. For the magic to take place, all that people needed to do were to draw a straight line on the ground in front of their respective doors. The straight line needed to reach the two extremities of the door.

      Once inside their house, they needed to lock their doors and windows so that the ruler of the blue sun would bring the magic lock. Firstly, the ruler was supposed to knock on their doors three times, and they were supposed to sing inside their house so that the ruler of the blue sun will know that they were home. And then, with a magic curtain in the form of the firmament, the ruler of the blue sun will cover every door and window so that no one would be able to look outside. That meant no one in the land had ever seen the blue sun nor the ruler of the blue sun, except Makila, the king of the land.

      There were three rivers in Mabele land. The most known was Ebale river. It was situated on the north of the land, and it was not very far from the palace. It was considered as the river of the people. The second river was at the west, just behind the widest forest, Zamba. It was considered as the river of animals. And the third was Mayi epola, well known as the river of shame. It was the dirtiest river in the land. It was situated next to another forest called Kinzau. It was very far from the palace.

      There were multiple fishes in those rivers. According to the legend of the land, once upon a time, the fishes were the only living creatures in Mabele land; and for a long time, fishes reigned as king
