You have much wrong to wreak; soon you will have more, for I, too, shall be gone, and my blood also shall cry for vengeance to you.

Hearken, Mopo.

Are there not other princes in the land?
What of Dingaan, what of Umhlangana, what of Umpanda, brothers to the king?
Do not these also desire to be kings?
Do they not day by day rise from sleep feeling their limbs to know if they yet live, do they not night by night lie down to sleep not knowing if it shall be their wives that they shall kiss ere dawn or the red assegai of the king?
Draw near to them, my brother; creep into their hearts and learn their counsel or teach them yours; so in the end shall Chaka be brought to that gate through which your wives have passed, and where I also am about to tread." Thus Baleka spoke and she was gone, leaving me pondering, for her words were heavy with wisdom.

I knew well that the brothers of the king went heavily and in fear of death, for his shadow was on them.

With Panda, indeed, little could be done, for he lived softly, speaking always as one whose wits are few.
