The Eze (king) of the Afugiri community Eze Obinna was suffering from a curse from a wizard who visited his throne to invoke the curse on him. The wizard was paid by Arinze, a rival to the throne to lay the curse on the king (Eze) because it is only when the Eze is dead that he stands a chance to be enthroned. This beloved Eze Obinna of Afugiri can only be saved by a magic bean that can only be found in a forbidden forest. The curse on the Eze will take his life in 30 days if the magic beans are not retrieved from the forest and administered to him. The Eze was already dying; his body is swelling-up as he is losing consciousness daily. If nothing is done, he’ll be truly gone in 30 days. Before getting to this evil forest, you must pass through the river where Mermaids come out at the bank to hunt for humans, Bushbabies that walks at night with mats, The land of Silence if you make noise because of what you see, you’ll be killed, the land of ‘Don’t look up where the monster that flies above you won’t spare you once you look at it, the land of Lust where your utmost desire will be presented to you and if you fall for it, your soul will be whisked away, the coven of witches where witches will gladly suck blood bloodd if you don’t know how to overcome and so many other strange-lands that require a set of virtue to cross. Brave warriors must be summoned from the 11 clans of Afugiri, these warriors must not just be brave physically, and they must also be strong in character because battling the spirits and crossing those strange lands with strange beings requires virtues.

THE LAND OF GIANTSSo when they saw a place, cool and nice, they lay down to sleep. At first, they were so confused by the types of trees they are seeing; Grasses look so big like giant plants, and trees look very tall as though it’s touching the sky.They were too exhausted to observe, they just lay down to sleep.They have a very deep sleep until they wake up to see themselves being wrapped by a giant spider.They brought out their sword and spears and to spear the spider and free themselves from the webs which look tick like a strong cord.The spider had a fight with them, trying to recapture them in its web, but the warriors were able to fight it back till it retreated, and they saved the ones who couldn’t break out of the webs because their hands were webbed in such a way that they couldn’t use the knives or swords on them to free themselves.They were surprised at how big the spider was, so they became careful.

LAND OF LUSTAs they continued to walk, recounting their last experience; the archers making fun of those who did have less headshot and everyone was laughing at them and jokingly asking them to begin their target practices, one of them saw a beautiful lady, looking seductively at him. At first, he thought it was everyone who was seeing her, but when he looked at the other warriors, they were still jesting as though nothing was up.The warrior was so engrossed looking at the lady; he even missed his step and almost fell; he has suddenly forgotten every other thing he was doing.The lady who was seductively dressed in well-designed animal skins would wag her tongue at him; invite him with her hand gestures while looking straight into his eyes. She takes graceful and seductive steps backward as she invites the warrior towards her.Mysteriously, the other warriors didn’t see what was happening with that warrior as they were all alike in their various visions a

The warriors have learned various formations during the pieces of training, and they use different formations depending on the need. This time it was a circular formation because the goblins were charging from all angles.Every warrior’s back must be at the back of another warrior.This formation made it dif
You could hear the sound of the village gong (Ekwe), whenever you hear the sound of the gong, important news is about to be passed so everyone stops what they are doing to pay attention to the news that usually accompanies the gong.You could hear ‘okwu-ekwe’ that’s the name of whoever is in charge of the gong at any time. He was shouting that everyone should come out to the Mbara-Ama (village Square) because the issue concerning the accusation that queen Ada being responsible for the death of Arinze’s wife would be heard today, and whoever is interested in contributing to the judgment so that the justice can be served without bias should come out.Because the King is sick, most of the judgments are carried out by the chiefs in council after everyone present at the hearing has contributed.This makes judgment take a very long time before it’s reached and many are left offended when the judgment doesn’t go b
The throne of Afugiri by traditions moves within the royal family for generations. It’s a sacred tradition that the King’s (Eze) first son would be heir to the throne and the throne moves to his brother’s family if by any means the Eze (King) doesn’t have a male heir.Therefore Eze (kings) kept marrying until they marry a woman that’ll give them a male heir because they want the kingship to remain in their family as it has been for generations.But Eze Nwadinobi couldn’t get a male child, he has 20 daughters already with 7 wives and he was already getting old.But the oracle told him that he’ll have a son with one of his 7 wives if he is patient.But as he got older and the hope of being able to father a child gets slimmer he started getting impatient especially when he sees how Emeka the son of his younger brother who may inherit the throne is behaving.
