Re: <<<The Tri-Paternal Son>>> by Mynd44: 12:30pm On Feb 03, 2013 |
Ojoade paused as a sound drew his attention back. He found himself unable to go after the creature which had quickened its pace and was flying even faster than usual. Ojoade noticed his pace slowing as he found it difficult to chase the creature further, so he stopped to find out what was pulling him back. He looked to his back and did not see anyone or anything strange. His gaze went to the sky and the clouds were still thick and they showed no signs of dissipating. The air was still charged and remnants of the energy they had used during the face off still lingered around the forest. The forest looked like it should be as nothing seemed out of place and he still could not find the source of whatever was drawing him back from chasing after the beast. He tried to turn and see if he could still catch up with the beast but his attention was drawn back to the clearing where he just left. Ojoade was torn, he could not afford to stop now or else the creature might leave and escape for good and he did not want that. His thoughts were to finish it off so it will never hurt another person or living thing again but he could not pursue. He dropped do the ground to assess the situation well and the ring of energy around him started to leave slowly as he walked towards the scene of his last battle. Nothing was seen as far as he could look but he still got that feeling that something was not right at all with the place he stood. He kept walking back as the energy around him left slowly and just as the last strand of energy left him, he realized his mistake. He saw the reason the creature left in such a hurry even though he could have caught up with it. It was all a diversion. A trap meant to keep him away from chasing it. The creature flew and knew that the human was fast behind it. The human might have been caught by surprise but he was gaining speed fast and it would be just a matter of time before he caught up with it and it will be over. It already had a plan to stop the human from coming after him but it all depends on if the human did not hit it with another bolt of lightning before the plan was completed as that will put an end to its existence. It knew there was no way it could survive another attack if that nature as it will send it out of this world permanently. In the time the creature stood in front of the human after the first attack, the creature had dropped a spell that would take effect after sometime. The spell was a simple one and did not take much energy to start. It was one of the most basic things in life but it was very deadly, it called fire to the clearing. But it did not call the fire to come down immediately, it would come down when it was at a distance so if the human was following it, he would have to turn back because the human child lying on the floor would be in the wake of the fire. In the little time they fought, it had seen that the human was drawn to the child and wanted to protect the child. He could not abandon the child and it figured out that it was probably the child that called the human there in the first place. The young are the most powerful of any species in spirit because of their purity. They are defenseless, hence a lot of gods and goddesses take pity on them so whatever deity the human served it would probably not allow a child be burnt to death when there was an agent around to save that child. When it flew away and the human followed, it had hoped the human would fall back when the fire started and it guessed right as immediately it started, it saw the human slow down and it did not bother looking back anymore. It kept on flying out of reach of everything until it lost all its energy and crashed onto the foot of a hill where it took refuge inside the rocks. Happy to be free and, for the moment, safe. Immediately most of the power and the ring dissipated the first thing Ojoade felt was heat. He was overwhelmed by a burning fire he had not seen before and all of a sudden, he was inside it as the fire threatened to engulf him. Lightning bolts erupted from within him as pieces of burning leaves flew around him striking the leaves to the ground and he summoned another ring about him, he realized the creature must have started the fire but he still could not understand what drew him back there until he heard a cry from a corner. All of a sudden, everything made sense to him. Why he was called and the reason the creature started the fire. He immediately moved in search of the child. He could not afford to leave his body as the fire, while having physical characteristics, was far from natural. It was already scorching his body which was without the ring to protect it and he did not trust the creature not to come back to finish him off so he moved into his body. He did not want to have too much power as that was what blinded him to the fire in the first place. If the energy around him was too much, he would not feel the fire and might not even hear the child cry. He followed the screams around the burning bush and could not find it the source. It was as if the baby was not even inside the inferno but the cries still told him the baby was around somewhere. ******************************** The old woman laid on her bed tired after preparing her meal. She decided to take pap and rest a little before doing justice to the bowl of pounded yam and efo riro she had prepared for herself when she first felt the energy come around her from all corners. Perhaps one of her initiates had come to visit her but did not want to go through the stress of walking, she thought. The energy grew more as the clouds above her head thickened which caused her to reconsider, there were certainly some forces at work and whatever it was, was powerful enough to block out the sun rays. She climbed out of her bed with difficulty as her body was not what it used to be. Although her spirit was still as strong as it was and even stronger, her body waned in strength and at some point the body will break under the stress of the power contained within it leaving her to roam not as a human but a spirit. The time would come soon and she knew it but at the moment, something stirred the bush and she wanted to know what it was. She walked into her room and put some amulets on whilst protecting her and her compound. There was a rumble in her stomach as her thoughts went to the food she just cooked and the risk of having the goats reach where it was. She quickly put a spell on the brooms in the house. Beating the hell out of those goats will be their job. She was not about to die of starvation because of some lousy goats she will not end up eating when they die or eventually killed? There was no reason why they should eat her specially prepared food. She looked into her seeing bowl as everywhere erupted in frenzy of lightning. The lightning made the sky light up and acted as an alternate sunlight. The lightning continued for some minutes until the thunder finally came. Meanwhile, she looked into the bowl and saw nothing. It was as though the bowl was not working and she tested it by looking at her dinner with it. The dinner still appeared on the table while her brooms were beating some goats that came within 100 meters of the table. She smiled to herself. “Stupid goats, that should teach them a lesson”. She returned her gaze to the source of the thunder but could not see anything. It was as if there was nothing in the area and she knew why. The gods must be walking on the earth again but this was not just a walk. Either another god was testing his/her strength against Sango, or Ogun(the god or war and iron) and Sango were having their usual face off and chose the earth as the perfect venue for today’s show. She thought of ignoring them and going to go eat her food but her curiosity did not allow her. “This is pointless, it is not like I can see anything. I should focus on more important things like my food right now”. She looked into it again for some minutes and then got bored. Just as she was about looking away, something caught her attention.... 1 Like |

As though there was a veil covering her eyes, it fell away and she saw a clearing inside the forest. The place to the ordinary eyes looked like the scene of a fire. A fire which did not even look right as the trees around there have been twisted and some branches were turned into positions they should never be. The grass on the floor was burnt and patched. Some parts were as black as coal while some where still was still green and looked alive. She saw the bus in a corner and wondered what that bus was doing there and then she saw what looked like bodies scattered all over. The bodies were all looking less like human bodies and more like logs of wood as they were twisted and wrangled all over the bush but within a certain diameter. She knew immediately that whatever happened there was not natural. Something had killed those people and whatever it was had enough power to mask its activities to her sight which made her more curious. But still it did not add up. She has seen where a demi-god grew angry and went on a killing spree but that amount of energy used up there was too much to suggest that it was just a killing frenzy that happened. From her seeing bowl, she could not see evidence of anything else as it was apparent that whatever had done that was long gone and had done what it wanted to do and so some of her confidence grew. She made up her mind to go see what happened with her eyes and have a feel of what happened there. Also, she grew worried that perhaps that was the result of some rogue demented creature which killed people for fun in which case she would have to inform her sisters about it so they will know what to do. She thought about her food again and knew it will be a long time before she eats. She shook her head and thought, “I should have just eaten it instead of the pap” She performed a quick spell to keep it hot and she left for the clearing. The location was fixed by her seeing bowl so she just transported using it as a medium and she kept it opened so that she can have a quick exit if she would need one. As long as this much energy was involved, an exit she could slip through and lock up before she is found seemed to be the wisest idea; she knows her end is near but it wanting a few more weeks. She took her best amulets and protective spells and was in the clearing within seconds. The clearing was everything she expected it to be and a lot more. Remnants of energy filled everywhere and the whole area smelt of smoke. There was a little hole in one corner and just beside the hole, some marks showed on the ground like threads. She smiled to herself as she knew what created such patterns on the ground Lightning. The grass had suffered most of the effect after the dead people and she wondered what they did to deserve whatever it was that happened. She took a quick look around to see if anything there was alive and worthy of saving but she also had a death spell on her lips that was strong enough to knock out even a demi-god and no human could survive that without help from some very powerful gods. She turned and walked amidst the bodies when she saw a strange stone floating around. It was circular and the edges were smooth as though it was cut on purpose. She knew very well what the stone was. It is used to store a spell and after sometime the spell goes off, mostly when the culprit is a safe distance away. She quickly pushed a protective ring around her. She could stand a lot of spells but if the energy at work in the clearing was anything to go by, the power the stone might have would be massive effect on her. She kept her eyes on the stone and some seconds later it erupted into flames and everything around her caught fire. She smiled to herself and shook her head; the fire thing was the easiest of all spells. Even a young initiate can summon fire bigger that the one the stone brought but she left the protection on as the flames grew and she realized it was bigger that she expected it to be but still, she was well protected even without the ring around. Smoke rose to the already darkened sky and the grasses caught fire and even the bodies on the floor began to burn. She began to think the purpose of the flame was to burn the bodies and make the whole thing look like an accident when she heard a baby cry. She first thought her ears were deceiving her until she turned to a corner and saw an unclad child in the middle of the inferno. The child was not even wrapped in a piece of cloth and she wondered what the child was doing there. “Perhaps it belongs to one of the passengers” she thought to herself. She walked to the child before the smoke got to it and picked it up before even discovering that it was a boy. It looked ordinary and there was no evidence of hurt. She wrapped him with her cloth as she moved a little out of the clearing and to her surprise, the fire and smoke was not present there. Just a specified area was burning while the remaining places were left untouched. She stepped out and cuddled the child as became quiet. The child got quiet at the time Ojoade looked around but could not find the child where it laid before. Someone or something must have taken the child while he was absent and it could not have been the creature. He thought an animal could have been there to eat the still bloodied baby but no animal would enter the clearing with that much energy around. He looked beyond the clearing and as he walked out of it, he saw a figure standing and carrying something that might be a baby. He tightened his fist as the hammer came into his hands and he was ready to strike. The old woman finished wrapping the child up and felt the presence of someone inside the clearing; she looked up and saw someone walk around as if looking for something. She knew definitely that whoever or whatever was walking around was part of the chaos earlier and she turned to leave but immediately she turned and was about walking away, her movement caused a disruption in the used energy around and she knew she had been seen. She immediately whispered a spell and threw the baby through her bowl into her room while she stood and carried an image of the child in her hands. She turned around and stood facing the clearing and acted as though she was attending to the child with her most powerful curses at her lips and ready to attack with or without provocation... |
