All Chapters of The Magic Bean: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

 The 11 clans of Afugiri provided 3 brave warriors making the total warriors selected to be 33 in number. Before you could be selected as a warrior, you must have passed the tests every warrior must pass. The first test is the test of courage, where you’ll be taken to the bush with your eyes tied and left to pass the night alone. You’ll be given a gong so that if by any time of the night you lost courage, you’ll strike the gong and the men would come out and remove the cloth tied on your eyes but you’ll never be considered as a warrior until you could pass the night alone with your eyes covered. Each of the 33 warriors knows what it is to walk in darkness. Before they became warriors, they spent a night in the bush with their eyes covered with clothes, their ability not to hit the gong at the sound of strange movements in the bush which they couldn’t see but only left their imagination to interpret whatsoever the movement may b

 They got to the river and quickly built a raft from the woods they found in the surrounding. They used their ax to fell and cut trees into logs, they use grasses as ropes to tie these logs of wood together.They have already wasted 4 days in the dungeon of the Bushbabies, and an extra 1 building a raft to cross the river believed to be filled with mermaids.They built 3 rafts, each raft carries 10 of them.They needed to cross the vast river before evening when the mermaids come out, but the river was so vast, so while they resting after a log paddle, they noticed a very beautiful lady hanging on one of their rafts, her face was so beautiful and so innocent. You can only see from her head to the top of her chest as the other parts of her body were covered in water.She seems like a helpless lady seeking help, one of the warriors forgot that he shouldn’t engage them for any reason as their intentions aren’t pure.He was mov

 ‘you’ll see them flying on broomsticks, putting on black hoods, with protruded caps, they are very wicked and seeks to harvest our blood if we let them, but we can resist them’ Dike said as they approach to cross the territory of witches.He then asked everyone to bring out from their bags the portion given to them by the Oracles, ‘don’t waste it, when a witch approaches you, stay composed and make sure it gets close enough then you pour this portion on the witch and it will dematerialize before your eyes, but remember, don’t waste it and don’t use it unless it’s necessary. If you waste yours, you are gone’ he added.While they were threading quietly through the path, the witches were watching them from their covens. They laughed hysterically that they just have food walk into their lands.They usually travel to the villages at night to hunt for blood, they turn into birds, or rats and

 No matter what is flying above you, the screeching noise over you, don’t look up.Our ancestors who were warriors named it ‘don’t look up’ when they discovered that the mysterious flying creatures in this land can’t harm anyone that didn’t look up to see them. No one has been able to see so as to describe the creature on this land because those who saw them turned to ashes instantly. But we don’t need to fear. If we don’t look up no matter what, we’ll make it through this land without any harm. Dike addressed them as they made it into the land.They could see piles of ashes from various spots as they take each step. These spots are warriors they’ve heard their folklores who couldn’t survive crossing this path not because they were not mighty men of valor but because they looked up.Each step the warriors take they see another pile of ashes that remi

 As they were resting and laughing at themselves for how they panicked during their last flight, one of them saw a shinning stone which he suspected to be gold. He thought of how he’ll become extremely wealthy should he return with such gold.Though Dike has told them never to do anything till he has prepped them about the land they are in and reminded them of the instructions they must yield to survive such land. This warrior secretly and quietly separated himself from others to pick up this stone.The idea of sharing the profit of selling such precious stone with another warrior should they know about it made him shrewd and kept the idea to himself.The other warriors were listening to Emeka share with them the description of the creature he saw with the aid of the mirror and what happened to him that made him passed out.Emeka just did the impossible to see the un-seeable and lived, so everyone wants to know what he saw, they were so
