The carefully organized streets of brick and mortar houses incircle the kingdom's palace, which is located at the heart of the Mal kingdom; an imposing cone-shaped masterpiece, a structure most architects only dream of. A tall thick wall surrounds Mal kingdom to secure its kind-hearted citizens.
Letwa, the sister of the queen, a few years older in fact, curvey and beautiful like her sister, but unlike her sister, she has not been lucky in love, in her late thirties, and still single, not that she has been unlucky, her bold demeanor has without fail steered man away from her.
She rushes into the palace dining room and finds Tate the king of the Mal kingdom, a tall dark-skinned strong man with a head full of long dreadlocks, sitting at the dining table with his wife; Mme.
Accompanied by incredible energy Letwa sings "Yooohooooo morning."
Gripped by a sudden noise of Letwa who has just entered the room, a beautiful dark-skinned curvey woman with long
flowing braids, mild-tempered and kind exactly what you expect a queen to be, turns and nonchalantly asks, "Isn't too early for a visit sister?"
Letwa loudly replies "What?!!" and abruptly scowls "Are you happy that your sister eats breakfast alone?"
"I didn't say that." Says Mme; the queen trying to calm her down.
Letwa continues to scowl "It's bad enough that no man wants to marry me; now even my sister doesn't want to spend time with me, I'm gonna die alone."
"Stop it, sis," says Mme sharply.
Cheerful as ever Tate says "You are always welcome at my table."
Letwa smiles as she takes a sit. "Thank you, why can't I get a man like you."
Somewhere in the kingdom, Dallas a retired warrior of the Mal kingdom and Geyser his friend also a retired warrior of the Mal kingdom are sitting under a tree shade, drinking kgera (an alcoholic drink) at Dallas's house.
After taking a sip from his clay jar "Man this kgera is amazing." says Geyser Holding his clay jar in his hands.
"Who thought we would get to be this old? and be able to enjoy a drink under the tree shade like this?" says Dallas.
Geyser mockingly says "Not me. I thought you were going to die in your youth the way you were so weak." and laughs.
Dallas angrily shouts "What?!!...Do you want to fight? let's go..."
Dallas puts his jar down, and as he motions to stand, a sound of crackling bones can be heard, he quickly holds his back and screams "Aw...aw... my back."
Geyser hysterically laughs, after a while, he recollects himself and says "But I tell you our generation was a generation of great warriors. I see these kids, they can't raise a candle to us."
"Indeed... You are right" says Dallas.
Geyser takes a sip and says, "war does make great warriors, but without war, there is no need for any kind of a warrior."
"I agree, but that's just a foolish dream, peace doesn't exist with men, history reveals this all too clearly," says Dallas before taking a sip.
"True," replies Geyser.
Meanwhile Lefa and Tsai are on a hill overlooking the Mal kingdom, from there they could see two sentries on the kingdom wall. "Let's go," says Tsai.
