Nada the Lily

CHAPTER I
3/21

I am Mopo--ah! I felt you start; you start as the regiment of the Bees started when Mopo walked before their ranks, and from the assegai in his hand the blood of Chaka (1) dropped slowly to the earth.

I am Mopo who slew Chaka the king.

I killed him with Dingaan and Umhlangana the princes; but the wound was mine that his life crept out of, and but for me he would never have been slain.

I killed him with the princes, but Dingaan, I and one other slew alone.
(1) The Zulu Napoleon, one of the greatest geniuses and most wicked men who ever lived.

He was killed in the year 1828, having slaughtered more than a million human beings .-- ED.
What do you say?
"Dingaan died by the Tongola." Yes, yes, he died, but not there; he died on the Ghost Mountain; he lies in the breast of the old Stone Witch who sits aloft forever waiting for the world to perish.
