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.

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.
