Once upon a time in the village of Ubali lived a little girl named Iwa.. Iwa was different from other kids, she was born with a tail, she had very bright blue eyes and very long black hair, she mostly dresses on shabby clothes. Iwa was a special child and she had supernatural abilities to communicate with animals and also understand the animal language as well as the human language. She lived very close to the forest in a very small thatch house. She normally goes to the forest and made friends with virtually all the animals that lived in the forest since she had the ability to communicate effectively with animals. Her best friend was the monkey. They understood each other so well. When her old sick mother was about to die, she revealed to Iwa that she was a witch and she got impregnanted by a warlock and told Iwa she is also a witch and has supernatural abilities and she is different from other kids, she also revealed to Iwa that she had a prophecy that not Iwa would rule over the animal kingdom but also the human kingdom then the mother passed away . Iwa kept thinking how this was possible when humans are so scared of her, there was a river close by where some vilagers come to fetch water and whenever they saw Iwa, they would freak out and run for their dear lives. This really made Iwa feel bad as she wanted to be friends with humans too, so sometimes while the villagers come to fetch water and also sit there and discuss, Iwa would hide behind some trees peeping at them and kept wishing she could be friends with at least one of them but she knows if she comes close and they see her, they will run away knowing she is very weird looking. So most times Iwa feels lonely, she would talk with the monkey or just play in the forest with the animals. The animals loved her as they found her cheerful, nice, understanding and also different.
One day, the Princess of the land, Princess Jasmine, she is the only child to the king of the land. She and her maidens came to the river to get water and as the maidens were fetching water, they heard a strange sound behind one of the trees and they felt as if someone was there. Princess Jasmine is a very fearless lady, she took over her father's couarge . She boldly walked down to the tree to find out what was there, Iwa wanted to run away to hide but Princess Jasmine saw her and called her to come, Iwa had told her if she comes that they will run but Princess Jasmine assured Iwa that she won't run away from her. Iwa was feeling shy,
tensed and unconfident but she slowly walked down to Princess Jasmine that smiled at her and shook her hands and walked with her back to the river, as the maidens saw Iwa, they all freaked out and ran away. They were not as bold as Princess Jasmine. Princess Jasmine sat with Iwa at the river and talked with her, Iwa felt so happy and loved talking with a human that she has always dreamt of and was also surprised Princess Jasmine didn't run away from her like the others. Princesss jasmine liked Iwa's nature as she found her strange and different and told her she will be her friend, wants to know more about her and will be coming here to visit her some days. Iwa felt so happy. As days passed by, Princess Jasmine would come to the river to be with Iwa while her maidens will stay at one far corner as they were afraid to come close to Iwa, her appearance scared them away and they kept wondering why the Princess found interest in such a scary disgusting human being. The Princess and Iwa would sit, laugh and discuss, sometimes Iwa would take the princess round the forest and revealed her supernatural albilities of how she could communicate with animals and understand their language. Princess Jasmine found her so special and fascinating, more reason she grew to love her. Iwa was also very cheerful and the princess felt so happy in her presence. They became very good friends that the maidens even started feeling envious of their friendship..

One day, something mysterious hit the land, The king of the land had a pet which was a Horse, he claimed he imported it from another village, everyone saw how the King showered the Horse so much love and affection. The king would feed the horse, take it round the kingdom pampering it, the King doesn't even allow anyone close to the Horse or allow anyone touch the Horse except the caretakers he employed to watch over the Horse. He had built a small house around the kingdom for the Horse and normally visits it almost everyday spending lot of time with it. No one could really know the mystery behind the love of the King for the Horse. So something mysterious had befall the Horse which made the Horse start talking and everyone was surprised how an animal could talk and the Horse also spoke in a language no one could understand or interprete. The king summonned for virtually all the strong native doctors in the land to be able to find out the mystery why the Horse started talking and what the language the Horse spoke meant but none of them could solve this mystery. The Princess told her father about Iwa and her supernatural abilities to ccommunicate with animals and also understand the animal language and quickly the King told the Princess to summon Iwa to the palace so she can be able to uncover the mystery...
