LEGEND OF THE CROWNS, Guillaume Mwamba [100 best novels of all time .txt] 📗

RAiMNANT 

Unspeakable would occur to the luminous home of the Eagle family's wondrous home who lived in Hollow, in the thickest forest Owls' territorial kingdom. They were old friends of its Queen who allowed them to live in her kingdom. Till ravenous ferocious huge owls who mostly had a bitter hatred of eagles intruded in their magnificent peaceful hollow.  

A fierce conflict between the courageous eagles and owls broke up. Killing both his mother and father Eagles includes their twelve-week ago young eaglets. Except for one eaglet which escaped the nastiest sharp talons and was rescued by owl parents.  

Brought another bird into their hollow home was not what Nadav expected, although his younger sister accepts him with all her heart. Oliver accepted another new member of the family even though she knew that he was different. He was just two more apart from the twin owls. Exodus the young eaglet was a bit older than the sibling owls.  

Exodus' wings were beginning to grow but did not know how to fly. Nor flapping his wings except he remembered his parents teaching him and his sisters how to branch from tree to tree, and how to fly for the first time. He was the oldest in his family till these ravenous owls attacked their hollow home.  

“Excellent. Another mouth to feed. Mother, is he an orphan?” Nadav scoffed.  

“Nad! Be nice to our new family member. Poor child just lost his whole family. Except his parents fought fiercely for his survival when those awful ravenous owls invaded their hollow home. Killed his parents and sisters while he watches the horrors within the darkness of shadows. Despised that Exodus’ father pushed him within the total darkness for his survival after watching his daughters killed. Moses and his wife Zipporah were good friends to the Queen of this kingdom, ours,” Leah explained.  

“Mother, I agree with you about such a tragedy happening to him. And father?” Oliver hooted.  

“Um, his name is Exodus. An existent Holy Bible’s second titled name after Genesis. Man, I am exhausted. I am glad that the Queen gave him to us to take care of. And we accept the offer.” Nadab chuckled.  

The night was coming extremely fast till all three of the birds went inside the hollow home.  

“Father. Would you please tell us the story about the Guardian Owls?” Oliver asked.  

Nadav glanced at his little twin sister furious while Exodus was silent.  

“Seriously, Olive? Aren't you bored of the same story? And still, it is not even fact!” Nadav roared.  

“Well, brother. It is a fact to me. And not you!” Olver groaned. “If you do not believe in it, does not mean that I will not believe in the story,” she continued.  

‘Here it goes again. They must argue every time someone produces an idea,’ Exodus thought.  

Nadav! Be nice to your sister! And besides, she can believe whatsoever she liked it!” Nadab scolded.  

“Father. Is this a legend or a true story? I want fact and not a legend!” Nadav yawned.  

“Seriously, Nadav. Why are you becoming a headstrong boy? Legen it is of course,” Nadab abrupted.  

Nadab shook his head in disappointment and was sighing very sadly. Nadav yawned some more and was tired and hungry sometimes. He was wondering why his mother hunted for a long time.  

'Man. I am very hungry. Despite that why does our mother hunt long? I am hungry and exhausted, ' Nadav signed.  

Nadab?" His father called.  

Nadab's swirled around to listen to whatsoever was about to tell him. He waited for that long patiently without interrupting him. Nadab signed very deeply till he finally responded with disappointment in his eyes.  

“Christ, boy! If you do not believe in your gizzard, it does not mean that your sister should not believe in it. And what she believes in her gizzard doesn’t mean that it isn’t the truth.” Nadab scolded.  

“Right. Right. I got it, father. Still, I do not believe in legend but in fact, now we are talking. And would you just calm down? Man, I am very hungry and exhausted that I could eat the whole horse,” Nadav signed.  

“For real, Nadav, a horse? You cannot be serious. You are not old enough to swallow the whole mole. And you are talking about swallowing a horse, seriously?” Oliver snickered.  

Oliver's older brother yawned even louder, scoffed as he glared at the hollow’s entrance in case their mother returned.  

Exodus silently glanced at Nadav, his new brother, but he was too focused on the hollow’s entrance.  

“And then the problem brother? Is there something wrong in my eyes?” Nadav yawned. “Nothing, huh? You are not saying anything. Man, father, you have brought a dumb bird in our hollow. Well, since he arrived here, he has not said a word. Not a word had come out of this bird’s mouth!” Nadav continued.  

“Excuse me? Don’t you dare raise your fury him? Are you serious, Nadav? Jesus! Would you just imagine what he is going to through! He lost his whole family. For crying aloud!” Olive roared.  

“Sure...sure. That is a pity boohoo everyone is sad about such a tragedy. Couldn't this even be true? Seriously, Oliver, I am worried that our parents just brought another mouth to feed-!” Nadav snickered.  

“Enough, boy! This is my house and not yours. Did you hear me? And I will bring whosoever I pleased, am I understood?” Nadab scolded.  

“Correctly. Despised that it is your choice father, but I will never welcome him in my heart as a brother,” Nadav yawned.  

Nadab just signed some more about his only son’s rude, arrogant, and prideful behaviors lately. Nadab smacked the head of his son, as he scratched it in pain.  

“Excellent time. And it is about time you give him smacking lesson on that bird brain of his,” stopped a familiar voice.  

All of them swirled around till they met their birdhouse cleaner. Her name was Ms. Leonel, the red-tailed hawk.  

“Silent, hawk! Or I will have you for dinner!” Nadav groaned.  

“Excellent. And you would care to catch if can bird brain? Man, I forgot you cannot fly. I wonder how Nadav will have me for dinner?” Ms. Leonel teased.  

Nadab, Oliver, and Ms. Leonel burst out laughing hard at such a hilarious joke. Nadav just grimaced, scoffed, and came back inside because it was getting colder.  

Moments later, Leah, the owl, and their mother returned from hunting. Even though she was tired, she had to bring food for all three of her children.  

“Exodus, dearie?” Leah called.  

“Here I am Mrs. Ransome. And man, I am hungry.” Exodus peeped.  

"Excellent child. I overheard that eaglet loves snake meat. Here it is. Eat up, child. And remember you are the only raiment survival eagle in the Tyto Hollow Kingdom. it would be nice if you eat, grow, and become stronger, am I understood?" Leah signed.  

"Right...right. I understand Mrs. Ransome and Mr. Ransome. I will eat it all! Mm-huh, my-my, snakes' meat is my favorite. Want some Nadav...Oliver?" Exodus asked.  

Nadav blinked confusedly as Oliver took a piece of snake meat on the floor before her and ate joyfully.  

"Positive right Exodus. This snake meat is nicely delicious. I love it!" Oliver answered.  

"Told you. And what about you Nadav, care to join us?" Exodus chuckled.  

"No. No, thank you. Snakes' meats are sworn enemies of mine," Nadav scoffed.  

"For real? Since when did that start Nadav, the bird brain? And Exodus, dearly welcome to the family. My name is Ms. Leonel the hawk cleaner of this Owls family," Ms. Leonel asked.  

After smacking Nadav with her sharp beak and flying above the branch as she looked down on Nadav.  

"Please do tell us Nadav. I remember you enjoying snakes' meat yesterday." Leah chuckled.  

"Correct, mother but that was yesterday. And did you bring anything?" Nadav asked.  

"Sure. here are your moles for both you and Oliver. Well, for your bone's pallets traditional ceremony," she added.  

Both Nadav and his little sister Oliver enjoyed their whole full meat mole and swallowed them in one gulp. Leah watches Exodus enjoying her snake's meat a bit by a bit.  

"Eat up Exodus. And would it be nice if you called us mother and father instead of Mr. and Mrs. Ransome?" Leah pleaded.  

"Right, mother...father. Umm-huh, this is the best meat ever!" Exodus chuckled.  

Both Nadab with his wife exchanged stares and silently broke into laughter with happiness. Nadav and his little sister looked at each other and were trying to figure out why their parents laughed. 

 SUMMONED

Exodus woke up early in the morning. Whereas Ms. Leonel was looking down on him. It was the most morning although the cold breeze passed by from time to time. Exodus smiled very brightly at the old Red-tailed Hawk till their father in the entrance of the hollow. 

“Morning. And here is a story about the legend story of the Warrior Owls.” Nadab answered.  

“Here we go again. Seriously this early in the morning,” Nadav groaned.  

After he marched into their hollow home and was yawning most of the multiple time. Filling with nothing sweet bitterness against Exodus, their father Nadab knew it, but Nadav seemed like he did not show it in front of their mother. If she did show any rage in Nadav, the owlet’s eyes rekindling against Exodus, Leah, the Owl, and their mother were around, that would be a different story. 

"Father. Seems like you're paying more attention to him than to your children. And continually, what's so special about Exodus-ouch!" Nadav growled.  

"Silent. Bird brain, your old father is about to tell a legendary story to Exodus. And not you!" Ms. Leonel smacked.  

She smacked the back of Nadav's head, flew away on a high branch and was looking down on Nadav.  

"Man, you are incredibly lucky old hag. Till I hold my hands on you man I can't wait to flap my wings," Nadav responded.  

"Right-right son. Thank you very much for scolding Nadav. And I am going to tell you why I loved Exodus more than you, is because you have become an incredibly special brat, arrogant, rude, and prideful. You're not the son I once knew, "Nadav said.  

Nadav furiously looks at Exodus, but Exodus has no fear though he was looking at him from time to time.  

"Nadav, brother, is there something wrong? Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Exodus asked. "And father to the legend, please. I want to hear my favorite part over and over," Exodus chuckled. 

Nadav was more rageful than ever against Exodus but just walked past him without a word.  

“Right away child. Um, the story began decades ago when the evilest of all evil birds invaded the Hollow Kingdom. Making everything ablaze and killing anything in her path, but one warrior of all Owls by the name of Micah Du’ Hool. Fearsome and courageous of all opposed against her? A furiously fierce conflict broke out, but Mica with six more Owl Warriors fought for their freedom of the Owls Kingdom and abolished the Owl, who called themselves Pure Royalties’ mastermind. Micah’s sharpened talons reaped apart the beak of the evil of all evils Owl and cast her
