2024-10-29 19:42:56There was a perfect serenity. The birds chirped and sang silent. And the river flowed still.
In the place, there is no wind. The leaves remained standing; unperturbed— the image of Life was calm and peaceful.
Everything stayed, in a gentle-quiet.
There were lush green, and healthy vegetation, carpeting below an enormously-gigantic, snow-white mountain, which peaked sharply.
Then...
Quack! Quack! Quack!
A flock of blackbirds flew out from the thicks of green, and hastily headed out of the forest—they were a good reminder, that this world was indeed inhabited.
The tranquil river. Still, gently strolled.
Suddenly,
Hu–––um!!! there was a brash, buzzing sound, coming from the sky.
Something big was approaching. The sky rapidly became blackish-grey, as whatever was coming, d

For his naughty behavior around young maiden girls.It was said, also, that on several occasions, he had made advances towards Ose, with the intention, to woo and sleep with her.However, numerous times, over and again she turned him down.Her behavio

Had been falling ill repeatedly.The prince's condition was becoming too disturbing, even though most people were Ignorant, of the reason, why the prince was always sick, queen Idia and her accomplice Ose were fully aware that it was the effect of the poison they had put in the prince that made him always sick.They knew that it was only going to be a matter of time before the king, summons the chief priest, for divination and reading of the s

Seated, at the back of a hut was a thin, young black boy, of about eleven years old.He sat with his back arched, as he worked on a knife. Beside him was a beautiful black woman, whose mouth kept moving up and down as she spoke to him.Although his eyes were fixed on the knife he was working on, he would intermittently turn to speak to her, then continue with his work. However, his face was sullen and gloomy, and his eyes were dark. he was wearing a white skirt, And his dry, bony chest, was bare and hairless.While he sharpened his small knife, the woman spoke."My dear baby boy, I didn't mean to keep it a secret, I was just waiting for you to grow older.By that time, you'll be able to make better judgment. And not make rash decisions. Promise me— Promise me now, that you'll not hate your father, now that you know the truth.You must know that your father truly loves you. Okay." The woman's voice was frail and apologetic. As she spoke, the woman

All she could do now, was to watch him, as he left.Although the prince, was just eleven years old, he was capable of making his own decisions now. Since he had already gone through a rite of passage, which guaranteed him, as no longer being a boy, but a man.The ritual, which was done once every seven years, accepted children from age seven upwards to participate. However, all the princes were only two years old, when the last ceremony was done, so they ended up doing theirs when they were nine years old.Nevertheless, there were even older men and children who participated and still failed. Some children who were already fifteen years were still considered as boys. Since they had failed to pass the initiation rites.That year when the princes did theirs, only ten boys less than fourteen years old passed. And, they were all nine years old and above—the three princesses and two other boys were of the same

However, all the teenagers, gathered at the entrance of the dreamy forest just now, had all gone through the rite of passage and passed. thus they were eligible to participate.The three princes, each, had their uniforms for their team.The first prince, Ogidigbo's team uniform, was a white garment, while the second-first prince Osawe's team uniform was a red garment. The third prince Idubor team members wore grey garments.Each member of a team had a weapon. based on their skills and ancestral spirits backing.It was so because, the ancestral spirit forces that were communicated with, each had a particular weapon that they were activated by. Thus an individual who awakened a spear spirit, for example, could never use that same spirit to wield a sword.However, some gifted youths could communicate with more than one ancestral spirit. thus they were able to use different weapons empowered

Idubor and his group had been taking calculated steps towards a bush-cover.He brought out a short knife and unsheathed it, as he got closer to the brake."Okay everybody, we're going to fan-out and caught off its escape.You three, go around the back. You three go that way. The rest of you come with me." directing with his hands, the prince set the team into formation.As a prince, he had already been given tactical and military training since he was five. Thus even though he was so young, he was also quite capable.The other team members drew out their weapons and spread out when they heard prince Idubor, whisper those commands.They had been observing the bush for a while and were anticipating his command.In the thick of the dark, a group of about fifteen junior warriors surrounded a thick brush.

At that same time, several other warriors had already activated the power of their ancestral spirits, which burst out from their bodies, Wielding swords, spears, and arrows. And within a short moment, the creatures had already suffered many injuries.Its body was gashed and heavily wounded, thick blood gushed out from its wounds like a fountain. Nevertheless, the creature was unyielding. It continued leaping, from left to right—quickly dodging the numerous attacks shot at it, and desperately trying to tear at the young warriors' bodies, to devour them.However, all of the team members were fighting with their ancestral spirits, thus, making it impossible for it to land a blow.Then some moments later, the pace of the beast weakened and it started breathing heavily because it had sustained several severe injuries."Haha, what a beast. Look at the havoc you made. what exactly are you?" Smiling, with his ar

Idubor hissed, then he walked to a nearby branch and sat on it. He did not bother to say another word again, instead, he just watched quietly, observing what the other's action would be."Don't you guys, want to come with me! This is your chance o.Or do you guys prefer to go into the bush and get yourself eaten by another strange creature?Is that it? Is that what you all want?" Although Ehimen was convincing, nobody decamped to his side, and he didn't like it at all.He knew that even he alone, may not be able to make it out of the dreamy forest without the help and support of some other young warriors."Ok! if you all want to go to your death, then it's your choice! I cannot force you to come.As for me, I love my life. How old am I, I'm just fifteen years old. I'm just still too young to die!"

Black Angel Or African Gods Sonia's Puzzle
The evening sunlight slowly gave way to the crescent moonlight of dusk as it drew over the sky.Soon it was nighttime. Everybody began into one task or the other. Everyone except the young hero who stayed back and attended to Sonia, keeping her company and ensuring she had proper clothing and conversing with her when he could, though there was not much discussion because she was too depressed to chat.Her beautiful face had become swollen from tears and her eyes, white like a film of porcelain, glinted with a myriad of depressing emotions.Her wet cheeks quivered as she talked in a low murmur to herself. She sat opposite the young hero before a campfire that he had made earlier — covering herself to keep warm with a piece of fabric that was given to her.she stared into the fireplace as vague emotions subtly quelled her. Her eyes reflected the glint of the slow-burning, flickering yellow flame as she cried.If love was all she wan

A scathing silence prevailed. Swirling winds pervaded and perused with soft kisses and chilling breath over the flesh of the group of persons standing as it whistled by in the coolness of the evening. A closer look showed who these people were. Sally, Igbins, and the unknown young hero were at a standoff — They eyed each other with awkward strikes of hateful intents. "Who–who does he think he is! W–w–why did he disturb them!?" A boy squawked tremulously, stuttering and shaking with disbelief. "Wait O!! I think We need to teach this guy a good lesson!..." One person wailed. Others cried and bellyached because of the young hero's move on thwarting all efforts to assault Sonia, "Oh no!" Cried a youth with a bald head. "I was also hoping for a chance to screw her once those other guys were done with her first. Arrrgh!... Why? Why do you always have to interfere...? Such a pig!!!... He deserves to die..." That

There was a split moment thrilling sound that rung out followed by a potent bang, then a brief moment of darkness— slightly longer than a blink of an eye, followed, for igbins. He felt his body soar through the air before a numbing pain crept over his buttocks.Thud!"Aaa!" He wailed, as his eyes shot wide open, he had suffered a shocking crash. The breath rushed out of him, then a spasming pain spread through his body, putting him in agony.Igbins looked about his immediate environment but discovered that he was no longer with the naked Sonia. 'How come?' His mind worked a query that needed no answer. It was a rhetorical question that even he knew the answer to. After all, It's not as if he didn't know he had been displaced. He had felt a force fling him through the air just now, certainly, he would not be in the same spot where he was before.Nevertheless, he still felt the need to ascertain how he managed to involuntarily change his p

"Igbins, You!" She yelped and quickly tried to use her hand to hide her completely naked breast."Humph. What about me?"Igbins grunted, retorting sharply, and got directly in front of her, not intending to give her too much space."Stop now. Please stop." She wailed. And tried to slap Igbins on his chest. However, "ahh—" She squealed in panic when he caught her hands and forcefully took her back against his front. Wrapping his arms around her, to constrain her."Do you think you can blackmail me with guilt?" He said, whispering, with harsh breaths that brushed against her right ear."No, no, leave me alone." She whimpered, struggling to free herself from his hold.However, in the next moment,TRAAAH! A tearing sound rang out.That sharp, sudden, sound pierced her ear and thumped her heart into a discordant beating. She dre

Just thenPah!She slapped Igbins on the face.She had just started to run away, face in palm, from where the prince was standing. When she bumped into Igbins, who was already coming back, along with the others to meet the prince."You! You! You!... " She slapped him in the chest several times, with each 'you', that she said."You murdered your people!How could you be so heartless as to butcher the people from your team? Without even showing the slightest empathy.You're too wicked!" She groaned"Why! why are you so shocked!? Did I not kill Ogen a while ago, why can't I now kill those guys? Tell me, why are you so bothered about them. Humph." Igbins scoffed. Taking hold, of her slapping-hands."It's not as like I even know them! They say we're a team uhn! Humph. Team my foot!" He smirked, disgusted before he co

Thinking about it, he immediately communicated with his Ancestral spirit to return, before he spoke again."My prince." He said in a manner that suggests he was protesting. Although he had already called back his ancestral spirit."I know... Sally. I know that you're angry, but just let it slide this time, for me. Please?" Prince Idubor spoke calmly. "Also, remember she said she would do anything and she has indeed done something." As he spoke, he held Sally's hand briefly, before letting go of it.Then he walked towards the injured Igbins, who was still lying on the ground of yellow soil."You. you're really a strong warrior, you could have beaten Sally, even, if he didn't call out his ancestral spirit to fight you instead." Idubor said to the young warrior, complimenting his strength."What! That invisible human is his spirit power!?" Igbins, who was so shocked by the revel

Sally, who had already reached the peak of his rage, hustled first, to meet Igbins. While Igbins wielded his spear to meet head-on with Sally.Clang! Clang! Clang!The sword and spear clashed several times with the powerful outburst of the blast, and a cascading parade of sparks, which fizzed out and dissipated In the air.Their attacks did not comprise of any special or exotic movement at all. It didn't reflect any masterly skills or practice, it was just a simple swipe and block motion done repeatedly, but with so much power.After a short while, dominated by the shrill cry of weapons, Sally was finally pushed backward. He staggered slightly but quickly found his footing again.Then, he tightened his grip on his sword to quieten its reverberation."Humph!"He sneered before pushing forwards again. Slashing at the body of Igbins.However, it

"Listen. Third prince!" Igbins turned to look at the prince, his tone was reprimanding. "We have not had any issues before. Your people had even helped to save my people not too long ago, so I can't understand why you approve of it, that your people, should steal from us." Igbins said with a raised voice, his heart had started to slow burn with suppressed anger.He had already taken the prince's silence before, as acquiescence to Sally's claim. Meaning, it was The Prince, who gave his team permission to rob others.Although Igbins expression was fry-red from anger, it was also visibly noticeable, that he was doing all his best to manage his emotions.One would doubt if this was the same Igbins who recently killed Ogen, a young warrior just because the hapless youth spoke to him arrogantly.And yet, he was taking worse insults from Sally now. Though he was retaliating the best way he could, by dropping indirect

All eyes trained off, to the direction of the clap, and rested on the figure of a young boy, no older than eleven years old."Awesome!Haha, what a hard man!You know what? You truly deserve to be a leader of your team. If only you did not die today."It was the prince Idubor.He praised and applauded, at the dead body of the young warrior, Ogen, who had already given up all evidence of life."Yes...my prince. He's really solid. Even I thought he would budge. but he didn't.I'm impressed" Sally, as usual quickly added his voice in support."It's just a shame that it ended too soon for him." he finished.Ever since the beginning of the conflict, the prince and his band of warriors had been standing aside. Watching as the events unfold.They didn't even attempt, to create a dist
