CHAPTER 15
Abednego was given a clear information where to get it, it stays in this evil forest, in a long cave found in the forest. The figure is only seen during night hours when there's either bright moon or total darkness. It appears very fat and able to stretch its limbs and torso to inhuman lengths in order to induce fear and ensnare its prey. Once its arms are outstretched, its victims are put into something of a hypnotized state, where they are utterly helpless to stop themselves from walking into them.
It is also able to create tendrils from its fingers and back that it uses to walk on in a similar fashion to ogrism.
It can absorb, kills, or merely takes its victims to an undisclosed location where it crushes the bones and sucks out bone marrow.
It is a terrible figure, its face is pale and ghostly, and appears to have been wrapped in a type of gauze or rotting skin.Th
CHAPTER 16 He kept coming not scared with whatever Abednego was holding in his hands. The movement was slow, but he kept pacing towards him. He couldn’t see his face in the deep shadows but he could tell, he knew, that he was staring him in the eye. He pivoted and ran, full bore, towards Abednego. He didn’t hesitate. He exhaled, relaxed his arms, and raised the sword, positioning himself in readiness. The handle of the sword shook his already strained muscles, he swung it up and magically through it to him, it. The sharp edge of the sword got him. The man staggered, slowed, and slumped down into the roadway. He had only moved a few dozen feet from the mouth of the tunnel to where he now sat. The scent of condit tainted the cool night air. Crimson oozed from the front of his neck and joined the darker brown patch already there. The
CHAPTER 17 After falling asleep he fell prey to some terrifying dreams. He came woke up well past midnight, trying to shake a vision of a gigantic demon, monstrosity crashing through the house on which he was a mate. At the sound of Matendechere screaming and the house falling down on them with a loud thud, heavy stones falling on them and crushing his fingers. His eyes opened in a chamber. He managed to fall asleep once again, but yet another nightmare came for him He was tied to the ground in the woods at night, and a man whose head was encased in a bizarre metal apparatus approached him, holding a baby high above his head. He was begging this man not to harm it, but he then stood over him, the baby crying and kicking, and without a word he slammed that poor little child down upon Abednego's left arm, undoubtedly killing the infant with the awful force of the strike. He awoke at that exact moment
CHAPTER 18The ogrism tail was the only mechanism to kill the king. The king was using magical powers, in order to nail him, you need to get ogrism tail.Getting ogrism tail wasn't easy, you have to trick the ogrism using magical powers from the calabash, just as Abednego. The second thing was to cut the tail, which wasn't easy, the ogrism have to be fed for a good period in order for them to fall asleep. There you have to use a magical sword given by the old woman, Matendechere. The training was to be conducted by the spirit men.About a moment into Abednego's training, Crasher finally broke it to him,“I am worried about you," he said.“Why?”“This ogrism, from time memorial are known to be too dangerous, a smell of mortal being can't cause them to sleep, no matter how much you feed them."“I have
CHAPTER 19The sound of untold things smashing broke her minds, the sounds of glass shattering, the ferocity of eerie screams, and the fading wail of unknown people cries.Nina stared at the woman with blank cold eyes, so cold, and slowly numbing the pain, waiting for the signs of a new day to scatter the stars back to the planets from whence they came. She couldn’t believe how the unbelievable it is, so unclear to her, indeed she was brought up by unknown neighbour's who were later killed ruthlessly by king Imboko. Though, as years went by before she got married to Abednego she knew vividly that one day she will meet her parents."Abednego will be mesmerized," she wondered. She felt something slide out her eye, pushing away crusted blood, as she thought, she would have liked to have gazed at the woman again. A clumsy breath escaped her lungs, bits of her foggy soul escaping along with it, and she couldn’t hold back a whi
CHAPTER20He stood up now, glanced at it but it vanished into a thin layer of smoke. A horrible scene he has never seen. He took off his skin clothe and threw it in the corner with his backpack. His body pulsed with this unfettered freedom. For the first time in his life, he was happy to note that the figure didn't see him. He must have stood there for what felt like hours, his skin growing taut with the cold. He drank in every image that nature had to offer. As ecstatic as he was, he was growing exhausted.Crasher had told him that the whipping wind would suck the life out of him. He now fully believed him. He carefully moved to the corner again with his backpack. He drank heavily from the jug and put his skin court on. He closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.The positivity of his experience while he was awake hadn’t translated to his slumber. His dreams were plagued
CHAPTER 21After falling asleep he fell prey to some terrifying dreams. He came woke up well past midnight, trying to shake a vision of a gigantic demon, monstrosity crashing through the house on which he was a mate. At the sound of Matendechere screaming and the house falling down on them with a loud thud, heavy stones falling on them and crushing his fingers. his eyes opened in a chamber.He managed to fall asleep once again, but yet another nightmare came for him He was tied to the ground in the woods at night, and a man whose head was encased in a bizarre metal apparatus approached him, holding a baby high above his head.

He awoke at that exact moment, a dog howling somew
CHAPTER 22The hallway ended at a short flight on curving steps. He ascended them, surprised at the din of his skin animal boots on the stone. Before him was a short corridor with a single room on each side. He moved forward. That was when he heard something, a faint musical note coming from the end of the corridor. Someone was at a piano, and from the depths of despair his heart leapt with hope.The same high G was being keyed again and again at three- or four-second intervals, meaningless. He followed the note down the corridor past closed doors bearing empty sconces. This hallway ended up ahead in a room with no barrier to entry. Holding the magic calabash high, he began to make out the shapes of furniture, and then its details. What he entered was a sitting room with two straight-backed chairs and little else. Turning and casting the beam of the lantern to his right, he beheld the origin of the music. Someone looking lik
CHAPTER 23He ran then, abandoning the women to whatever horrors fate had in store for them. Thrusting the magic calabash on the ground as he was instructed by Matendechere, he forced himself to move as fast as his feet would carry him. The worst thing he could possibly do was take a wrong turn in that accursed labyrinth, and yet it happened. Beyond the sitting room where he had encountered the woman at the piano, he went stupidly in the wrong direction, which he realized quickly when he came to an intersection that would take him either east or west from a wall on which hung a painting depicting the ogrism feasting on a woman's head. As he turned he looked behind him to quickly make certain he was not being followed.The calabash light fell across something in the shadows, something only three feet in front of his face. He had missed it in the dark. He was looking at a pair of legs, legs attached to a nude body hangin
CHAPTER 31The entire moment had been nothing more than a dream. Yet, as a large hand rose from the inky waters to engulf his own, Abednego felt his hope slip away just as easily as the the rock he had held so firmly in his grasp. As another arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him roughly against a hard chest, Abednego found he had lost the will to fight and instead he dangled from the man’s arms as pathetically as broken doll. The other wasted no time as he pulled them both from the lake, pausing only to toss the rock back into the murky lake. Before he threw him to the ground once again. Grunting in pain, Abednego turning over onto his back to looking up at the man who now stood towering above him so threatening. Whoever that man was that incensed him into this uncontrollable panic, he was now gone. Shame on you, Abednego, he repeated to himself while making futile attempts to enthrall palpitation to subside. Shame on you. he mumbled repeating that word. Mumbling turned into
CHAPTER 30He had received several information about the disappearance of Abednego and his wife weeks before at the allocation of their child Kipili."They ran and left the boy. Anyway, this child will become a killing machine," he murmured.A wooden box was brought before him by one of his soldiers, the content inside were undoubtedly heads of some of the people who were sent to be beheaded, so they were brought to him as a sign of confirmation. He had agonized over opening it, though, as he was unable to come to terms with what he did to his brother for him to get the kingship. The spirit gave him some signals and finally convinced him that they might provide comfort rather than sadness.With final resolve, he retrieved a dusty head from the box, lifted it up for people to see and shouted loudly,"May it happen to those who goes against my leadership, the s
CHAPTER 29She awoke hours ago to a faint breeze, which tingled down her spine, rattling her core and suddenly was shook by a hot burst of air rushing against her skin. The shock of the chill and sudden burn startled her as she awoke to the sight of bright yellow-green eyes that watched over her that night. For hours now, she had gripped some sheets she found on the bed, depressed on her tongue and has been sweating drops of terror from her skin.She felt the heavy yellow glow press down upon her like a mega-tonne, perversely watching her cower under her soft quilt. She began to grow tired and her eyelids dropped and she was finally at rest for the first time in hours. When she opened her eyes again the yellow light blinded her and without a sound, her demonic intruder was face to face with her; in this moment she shrieked out a primal scream of sheer terror which the creature bathed in with great pleasure, as it seemed to f
CHAPTER 28Nina's facial expression was gloomy and sad by the time she was searching for Abednego, although she genuinely looked like someone who smiled a lot by the time she met Matendechere.Her skin clothes she had worn before were so shredded and bloodstained that they weren’t wearable anymore. The right side of her face bared a few cuts along with a split eyebrow. Her right arm was having a scar all the way to the shoulder, which had been shredded when his right side hit hard at the ogrism.Her injuries appeared to be painful, when in reality she couldn’t feel anything. This was just one of the glories of being a determined woman. One of the challenges she had to face while growing up was growing up with a rare disease that caused her to be completely numb towards pain. Never before had she felt herself get hurt. She could have lost an arm and felt nothing. The other major disorder she h
CHAPTER 27As you brave your way in this evil forest, you must stay alert. Keep your eyes open for the signs that others do not see. You will likely become lost, and doubtless you will find yourself getting deeper into the secluded parts of this evil haunted forest, a forest with all kinds of ghosts, black sucking creatures, they are all hungry, hungry and angry for revenge. Hungry for your fresh brain, yes, hungry for your warm blood, soft tissues from your body, but take heart, as this is only bringing you closer to your goal.True revenge knows the meaning of patience. Ones inside that frightening forest, you will be on your own and return to your land is impossible. You must persist now, whatever should come your way.Night in this place is not friendly to any human beings, and the seething things that splitter and click in the dark places of this part of forest are always hungry.
CHAPTER 26Abednego kept on running, he has to catch up with the ogrism, ones they are fed the tail will begin to grow, that's when he will be required to cut it. Now the sun has set and it was incredibly bright and there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky. This had given Abednego the sad delusion that there would be some semblance of warmth to be had but the bitter cold air shattered that happy thought.He wrapped his skin clothes tighter around him, running through the woods as fast as he could. The back bag brought him feelings of claustrophobia, probably linked to the fact that it constricted his back ever so slightly.His animal skin shoes hit the wet muddy road running through the woods swiftly began.It was then that Abednego noticed her. There was a small girl, younger than the age he taught, maybe six or seven years old from her build but she was slumped in a corner next
CHAPTER 25The next thing Abednego noticed was his arms, the only bite; regretful that she had not been there to fight dirty.Oh, how he wished that she had told him the danger that she knew lurked in those woods and why she had always stayed close to her magic.Abednego let out a sorrowful sigh as his gaze fell upon the head once again.The cannibal, the demon, the monster, the beast, the butcher. He was all these things and more.And now, after so many years, the terror of Igodo forest has beheaded the only sorcerer who was of help, poor old woman, Matendechere."There is no mercy. There is no mercy in this field." It yelled at Abednego."There is no living. There is only eating and sucking up brains, yes sucking up brains, tearing their flesh, skinning them alive," it kept on yelling at Abednego."The game is now, to bring him down, the time is ripe for Igodo forest, yes, for
CHAPTER 24That place he was told that he will get Ogrism food, intense forest, in an attempt to get away from it all; have always never loved the forest, as it has really taken him through a lot. As he stood there taking in the sights and scents of the forest he began to realize how long Matendechere has taken, now the place truly looked isolated this really was, which was why he chose to get out that place as fast as he could. Since his child hood, Abednego has been hearing about this evil forest called Igodo, now he is out here, deep in the forest itself, the only things he could hear were the harmonious sounds of nature.That would of course change once he is out, back in NamamaIi village. The thoughts of leaving the place struck his mind, he felt any moment and he would be attacked. As he was making his way to go, only to be greeted by a short, dark-skinned woman and a little looking person with similar features.
CHAPTER 23He ran then, abandoning the women to whatever horrors fate had in store for them. Thrusting the magic calabash on the ground as he was instructed by Matendechere, he forced himself to move as fast as his feet would carry him. The worst thing he could possibly do was take a wrong turn in that accursed labyrinth, and yet it happened.
