The Shepherd #3
It is never too late for anyone to discover his/herself in life. Discovering this talent of writing makes me feel elated...
The King continued in his word telling him that he is now one of the king makers because
The feat he has achieved in saving the island and his country from their dangerous, powerful
Sophisticated and well-trained enemies. The general of the army of the island and his team
Have failed to protect the island and deliver her territories but this he has done despite
Not being a soldier nor at a time was trained as a combatant soldier. He laughed and
Appreciate the king for all his words but reiterated to him that he does not need to be
Offered any special position in the island, he should see it as a means of God uses to
Deliver them, for if he has not done that someone else would probably have. That is
Destiny. It has been destined that the island would not be overtaken this time around he
Emphasized to the King. The King says he yet need to appreciate him, for though fate
May have orchestrated it that the island will not be overtaken now, but the fate has used
Someone to carry that out, and the person is him, for if it has been the general of the army
And his team that did this, they will demand for something spectacular from the
Cabinet members he said, and his cabinet members and him have decided to award him
With something and they want him to accept it. He replied the king that if the island wishes
To honor anyone they should honor those Shepherds who have waged war against him,
Because assuming they had not waged war against him, it is certain that he will neither leave
Their midst nor become this powerful. It is been said that the person who treated a person.

Badly is empowering the person. They treated me badly, waged war against me and was
Thinking what they were doing was the right thing but unknown to them that they were
Training and empowering me, it is because I allowed for that training and did not fight
Them back, that was why I could achieve this feat which I achieved today. In addition to
This he stated that the leadership of the island may consider rewarding his father, for he is the
First person who gave him tips to fighting and things to use in protecting himself before some
Spiritual Beings appeared to him in a dream given him special power for protection. It is
The combination of these that keeps him going he told the King and that was why he was
Not troubled when they were waging war against him for he knows himself, knows the
Contacts he has made with the spiritual beings which they obviously have not
Experienced. They were glad for all he said and since he does not want to leave his
Shepherding because anyone who will be made a chief in the island will leave
Shepherding and be working with the King in the palace, they listened to what he said
And made his father a king in his stead. However, before the King makes any decision he
Will send for him to come, and would discuss with him, and anything he says the King
Stands by and does in the Island. He continues to wax greater in the island because his
Cattle has been multiplied and he becomes very great in the island. During his days although
The King is at ease and the neighboring islands fear them, they will not raise head against
The island again because the source of his power they do not know, how he could
Maneuver the war against them still surprises them, and the land was at peace.
