Bilinchinsi. Part 3

15 years later, the two twins grew stronger every day. Bilinchinsi began having nightmares that he couldn’t comprehend. Once he had a dream of him being a savior to the whole world. He questioned his father about the dream of which his father made it look as if it’s nothing. The dreams never stopped coming. But he could only see a particular setting in his dream always. He told Zuara about it and they had a plan. They decided to go check the place out without informing their parents. They run out at dawn.

On their way, they saw many unbelievable things. Bilinchinsi was ready for anything so they weren’t afraid. The spot he sees was their family’s safe house. It took them half a day to get to the safe house. They finally arrived to see a skeleton. He always sees the hut house but never seems to see what was in it. He began wondering how he is related to the place. Zuara laughed and said, “Oh! Is this what you have been worried about in your dreams? You are brave. Don’t let a common human skeleton make you weak.” Bilinchinsi was wise. He said “I’m not afraid of the skeleton, but what I don’t understand is, why this skeleton in my dreams? Is this a symbol or it is a sign of something? I’m I connected to it or why this hut house?” Zuara tried consoling him but today was a different day. Bilinchinsi felt connected to the skeleton and was so sure there was a link between him and the hut house.

They hurried home to find their parents awaiting their return. Azabila was worried. He asked angrily “Where have you been? We have been worried about you. Speak out before I lose my temper.” Bilinchinsi told them how they followed his dream to discover a hut house. Azabila upon hearing that realize the guy was about to find out where he is from. But Azabila felt Bilinchinsi wasn’t ready for the truth yet. Azabila sat the two twins down and told them how lucky they were without proceeding to the next village. He then narrated to them how the people of that land destroyed their king because of riches and ignorance. Bilinchinsi being curious wanted to know more about the story. Azabila stopped him from questioning by telling him it was late. The story diverted Bilinchinsi’s mind from his dream adventure to a more serious and dangerous idea. His thoughts were how he could save the land and set the brother the people of Yagbe captured free.

Zuara and Bilinchinsi became aware of their law. They sat together to figure a way out. They thought it would have been easy. Days turned months. Months turned years. It took them 3 years to finally prepare for the rescuing of the innocent people of Yagbe from the cruel rule. Their current king, Zim, was very cruel. Zim had the priest of the land secure the land to prevent people of no relation to the land to enter. All in their years of planning, they have tried many times to get through to the land. To their surprise, only Bilinchinsi was able to pass through. Since they didn’t inform their parents, Bilinchinsi couldn’t ask Azabila why it’s so.

Now the destiny of Yagbe rests on the young man, Bilinchinsi. It was too hard for Zuara to accept it. She wanted to call it off because she didn’t want to let Bilinchinsi go alone. Bilinchinsi told her, “Don’t worry Zuara. You know I will come back. Don’t be so much worried. When I’m gone, wait for me at our usual base. Don’t leave there without me. When I’m delaying on coming back, just believe in the gods that I’m safe and will be back.”

A day was set for their mission. They hid whatever Bilinchinsi would be needing at their base. They told their parents they were heading there. Their parents not knowing their plan told them to go and come back when the sunset. They nodded in obedience and left. Upon their arrival at their usual spot, Zuara broke into tears and was very sad Bilinchinsi is going without her. Bilinchinsi had to console her before leaving. He tried and was in vain. He left but assured her he will come back for her. She should wait with faith. Bilinchinsi left to the land…

Bilinchinsi upon his arrival could see how brutal and rich the land was. There were enough riches to prevent suffering. He couldn’t understand why the king would still make people suffer in such riches. He started freeing some captives of the king. It wasn’t easy though. He had to get past the security with some beatings. Since he was far stronger than them, he had it easy. After their rescue, the people thanked him and asked, “How were you able to get through to this land? Did the Queen mother give birth to her child?” Bilinchinsi said “That’s a question I can’t answer either. But which queen mother are you referring to?” The people just told him to never mind and took to their heels. What the people said was all over his head while on his mission.

He was approaching where they held his brother as a prisoner when the king’s men realized there was an anomaly in the land. They rushed out with the king. The king questioned, “Who is this filthy rat and how did it get through?” Bilinchinsi answered, “I think that’s a question for the gods, not me.” The king’s men approached intending to get his head. Bilinchinsi fought to the amusement of everyone including the king. The king’s best warriors were defeated leaving the king helpless. Bilinchinsi was in to save not to capture. He left the king to the people and went in to save a prisoner. When he entered, he saw a man with grey hair. He was weak and talking was a problem too. Releasing him, his necklace showed and Zahm had a glimpse of it. He tried speaking but couldn’t. He has been silent since the day they captured him. He tried speaking and pointing to the necklace but Bilinchinsi was not understanding him. He thought he needed it but as it continues he realized he wanted to say something about it.
Zuara was worried. Bilinchinsi was keeping long and she was running out of patience. But since he said she should wait, she did with faith.

Bilinchinsi brought Zahm out. Since he couldn’t talk yet he didn’t bother to ask him his name. In front of the villagers and the captured king, Bilinchinsi spoke, “I’m a stranger from the nearby village. I don’t know why I feel so connected to your land but I aim to set you free from the cruel rule. From today, you are free. You have many questions but I think when the right time comes the gods will answer for us.” After his speech, Zahm tried talking “I recog… th… Neck...ce”
