"What! Do you mean she's queen Idia's personal maid?" The commander asked the guard, who spoke earlier. He wasn't sure he heard him correctly.
Meanwhile, Ose, the fair maiden, picked up her pace and started briskly towards the exit of the jungle.
When she heard what the guard said. She acted as if she did not hear his command.
"Lady wait!" The Commander ordered. His voice was loud and booming.
When she heard his command, she realized that her plan of escape wasn't feasible anymore. So she decided to wait and dialogue.
"I thought you said I could take my leave before. Tell me, why do you ask me to wait now?" She asked firmly, she had been apprehensive before when she tried to escape. However, she knew that if she was going to get out of the mess she needed to act confident.
"My soldier here, just now, told me that you work for queen Idia. Is that true?" The commander was very direct. His manner was cold and unforgiving in a wa
However, the king was not an unbiased man. Even though the king, had four wives, it was widely accepted that he marginalized two of his wives.It was known that according to marriage, the first and second wives who were queen Esagho and queen Idia, were his favorites.The third was queen, was Oloi Ohonmi. The fourth queen, however, was not very popular.The rumor claimed that the fourth queen was actually the first, but soon after the king married her, she contracted a strange incurable illness. Which later paralyzed her and made her unable to move.Later, she was kept in a separate place, where she could be taken care of. Since then nobody ever heard from or saw her again.However, other later news claimed that she gave in to her sickness and was thrown into a river, on her request.Nonetheless, the palace never officially announced her death. So the s
In Black Mountain Continent.It was a cool evening. The blissom world, just like a human virgin girl, shying on her first sexual intercourse, hesitated to resist the warm and soothing-pricking of the yellow beams of sunlight, as they bypassed the hover clouds and penetrated, to seep into the open sky.It was one of those days when the sun adorned the sky. and merged conspicuously, to create subtle disarray of beautiful colors.Then. . .Out of nowhere, two black humanlike figures, carrying intense darkness. Suddenly barged into the unsuspecting world and arrived at a place.Their mere presence alone released unmatchable darkness, which spread out like a light, to reign unchallenged, over everything in the world.The peerless blanket of black, cast out, the golden–yellow sun rays. And set the
At the center of the Black Mountain Continent, there was a great body of water.In the middle of the sea of blue water, there was a great vortex, which created a dark, bottomless, circular Vaccum at its center.This gigantic vortex was exactly the passage and gateway from the Black Mountain Continent to the Black Water Continent."It's been two days already. Even though I have already searched, the length and breadth of this continent, there's still no clue, to its whereabouts.Humph.where are you hiding ?" The speaker, who was one of the two beings, carrying darkness–the one, who decided to search for the Bloody Red Humanoid figure, murmured to himself.He had been searching, for the Bloody Red Humanoid figure for two days now, but there was still no sign of IT.It had been a month, since the Bloody Red Humanoid Figure emerged, from that pool of blood and magma.
Immediately, the black figure flew out of the violent water turbulence, the entire world became bathed in untamed darkness.The darkness, rolled out like a wave in all directions until the light vanished, and nothing was visible anymore.However, just as the light was spreading out, something strange happened. The black-light started receding at an alarmingly fast rate.The darkness, crumbled and folded into itself, like a paper.It was being suppressed by a strange blood-red-crimson light. The next moment,boom.The darkness completely crumbled and enveloped into itself to vanish totally.WhooshA bloody red humanoid figure appeared. The Bloody Red Humanoid Figure was standing still, face-off, with the Black Being Of Darkness."Uh? What is this? How come?" The black being had been so impressed by what
Clap!"Stop talking bullshit and fight with me!You Fool!" The sky thundered, as the Bloody Red Humanoid Figure Roared.For the first time during their episode, he spoke. His voice was hoarse and threatening,His naked figure was compelling and majestic. Although his eye's had already started expelling red-hot fumes, there was yet, a brutish, wild, and primitive aura about him,He frankly didn't seem interested in talking too much—Since he directly charged forwards, once he said those words.Clap!"Alright! Bring it on!" Thundering back, the Black Being; retorted, and charged forwards.He was prepared and eager for round two—Since he had been very alert all the while, ever since that near-death experience. He made sure to observe every move of the former, even when he had been taunting.KABO
"Let me know now show you, what I'm truly capable of"The Bloody Red Humanoid figure was charged and willing to bring down his opponent. He gripped, firmly, the red hot trident, and it caught up on fiery red flames.He then quickly threw the burning trident at the black being. The trident, pierced through the darkness, leaving a red trail as it traveled. To stab at the Black being."Fuck!"The Black Being quickly mobilized his reflexes and managed to move aside, just in time to dodge the attack.However, the burning trident continued to leave a trail of red light in its wake, as it traveled, through the darkness—like a red line drawn in a black page. To stay ahead."Now you're finished!" Roaring, the Black Being declared.Once the Black Being saw the trident drive forward and noticed that the Bloody Red Humanoid figure was unarmed, he f
The Bloody Red Humanoid figure, however, continued to take gentle steps towards him."Even if I die today, I'm very sure you'll be meeting me soon—Since you're still too weak to go against my lord.""Not an 'if,' it's a would" The Bloody Red Humanoid figure corrected, he was just a few meters away, by this time."Haha. Yes, you're right. It's not an 'if', it's a 'would'." the Black Being smiled bitterly to himself."But you'll have to kill me first before you can be so sure!" he raged suddenly.The next moment he bit into his flesh and spat out blood that became a bubble that enclosed the Bloody Red Humanoid figure.then he stepped backward attempting to flee."No–no–no–no! What is this? Am I so weak that I can't teleport!" The black being grumbled.However, In the next moment, the blood bubble weakened enough to reveal it
There 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
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
