This will be a story quite unlike me. It will in no way affect my ongoing work. I just need to do this. It's quite germane. Enjoy with me.

Prologue:

---

Kanu Zachearaia didn't sleep all through that night. He tossed about distortedly in his bed till dawn. He stared at the mud walls of his room all minutes. It had turned out to be same with the past moons. As voices hazy with sleep evolved over his walls Kanu Zachearaia got up. He left his bed. He seeked comfort elsewhere. The dew dripped, still. The day was just evading nature's curb. It was fair dark. And cocks were crowing in webs. A few figure who knew him saw him and heaved heavily within. They appeared to be filled with sadness. They pitied him, seriously. The family Kanu Zachearaia met ahead held bated breath as he walked past them. Yanis Akoky was the family's leader. He was Zamu's husband. He took a left turn and hurried away, his hoe dangling over his right shoulder. Zamu didn't need instructions.

Kanu Zachearaia strutted along the wet sticky leaves and muddy paths. He appeared austere. The pupils of his eyes were not dilated; they were accustomed. His hair didn't appear okay, but not to him. He didn't know a reflexive object. His face was a habitat of beards- thick dark beards.

Kanu Zachearaia stopped at the still serene Odoh stream. He stood arms akimbo and sat on Odoh's bank. His temperature jerked lower. His bulging facial muscles relaxed noticeably, albeit none was present.

He wondered. Kanu Zachearaia was wise. He left his bed early to seek comforts on Odoh's bank. He loved glancing down at Odoh, itself. He felt at peace there. He was sure he belonged there.

He didn't sleep all night; he left his bed early enough; a few figure grumbled and heaved; he walked the distance; his appearance was arid; he sat on a stream's bank- he was wise, still.

He was just trying to figure out life. He was a pawn in a chest of chess. Yanis Akoky was a pawn in a chest of chess. Beautiful Zuma Yanis was a pawn in a chest of life. Life was that unfair.
Life was that unfair.

Kabo Edor crawled ahead and shot at the figure sitting on Odoh's bank. Kabo Edor was a hunter. The sitting figure was Kanu Zachearaia. Kabo shot Kanu.

"What will happen to Kanu, son of Zachearaia, now?" the villagers mourned out. The birds fed on him. He had died a taboo. He tried to figure out life.

Nice update. Seems complex tho.
What's Chest of Chess? Haven't heard of that

LogoDWhiz:

What's Chest of Chess?

You are welcome, sir. The complication is just a phase in the story. I can assure you nothing else will be complex again.

'Chest of chess' is just an expression, sir. Quite absurd. Right?
I'm glad you found the update okay.

Okay!
Lol! Yeah, maybe.

Yeah! Okay.

LogoDWhiz:

Okay! Lol! Yeah, maybe.
Yeah! Okay.

Thanks, sir.

Your choice of words are cool.


Just spotted some kind of incomplete exposition of some attributes on the first update. I think for you to be better, you should talk about every point pointed out in each paragraph. Just like the head of the family, the hunter, the bank, -all of these stuff's needs more defination for easy understanding and being on the mind of the reader of what they are.

Update is short, though dunno if you will want to type something like that 3times a day or rather drop a lenghtier one one's in a day or 2days. Atleast would save you time for other stuffs and above all resources.

Lovely update. I must confess that i am Awed by this your improvement of late.

Following till the end.

Hum, bro, I'll work on everything you've dilineated. Thanks.
Regarding the update issue, we'll have to wait a little bit, though I should say, I'll prefer the once a day option.

And on being awed, remember you taught me most things I seem to know, so I'm a squatter in your shadow, still. I plan on surpassing you soon, I feel you should know.

Thanks a million times.

Okay, I am following, who am I not to follow?

Chapter 1i: Was he a Pawn?

---

Life has often been complicated. Only complicated. And really bossy. Different folks have came about; cooked up; thought; broadcasted and; lied about facts on life. It has left a deep slash across every one's shoulders. And lives, too. Some have always believed that trying to endeavour to fathom life or even, attempt to know life is the most futile thing one could set his mind on. A lot of men, even women has discovered what life is when simply they were trying to avoid knowing it. They actually wouldn't comprehend it as they would feel it simply couldn't be. It has plans mapped out for each being already. And generally, faith seems to mean waiting fora Higher being christened God, whose intervention as most people have said while little, believed would be best, but how well would that augur when waiting on God actually is a bode of granting respite to life to tune your fate to it's overbearing musical tone just like it must have scribbled down?
Alas! It has successfully proven it's superiority over it's self defined bailiwick, which seems almost everything. And almost everyone goes with the wind irregarding how hard they seem to try to take things up theirselves. Only a few have truly been able to decipher it's co-ordinates and touch- a really few men. And whenever men this way gets discovered, the world turns it's back on them. Of course, not surprising, the world is being directed by life, A father to his shadow.
One of these men was Kanu Zeacharaia.


Kanu was not a teenager. He was not a man in his early twenties. He was a man who had spent thirty four rainy seasons and eleven orbiting moons before life plucked him. He was a figure with a son. A figure without a companion. Kanu Zachearaia's heartrob had walked after she cruelly delivered Kachi Kanu to life's ugly hands. She was everything Kanu Zachearaia would have asked for. There was no exaggerated romance. Kanu liked her. She liked Kanu, too. She was the one who seemed to be with him. She believed him. Kanu Zachearaia's face had left much to be desired after he fell ill seventeen years after life came to knew he existed. In life, there seems to be a funny philosophy about rendering prayers to that Higher being whose whim's touch would do it all. But he didn't share those beliefs. He was unlike Zachearaia, too. He didn't bring his self to fathom what idols were about. When it seemed he wouldn't live he didn't pay attention. But he had survived. He was the example of someone who believed. A real being on earth. But his heartrob was beautiful. Her light skin often reminded Kanu about life. He knew, one day she would have to repose. He expected it, but he didn't know she would take a walk that soon. Had they been together, Kanu Zachearaia would have conquered the world. But Kanu Zachearaia was no philosopher in romance. He didn't allow a phase life had presented distort him. He still believed.

Kanu Zachearaia even gave his self out to his heartrob without Zachearaia's headnod. Kanu Zachearaia had the world turned against him. But he lived. And he died.

He was a hero.

Kanu Zachearaia's heir was no one to write home about, the world thought. And shaked it's head confusingly. Life's heart ached. It didn't need another Kanu Zeacharaia. But if really life had scribbled everyone's on the morrow, it would have been relieved. It wouldn't have created aches. Maybe that higher being exists. Really. Maybe that being has a touch on life truly. Kanu couldn't say. Most men doubts, too.

Kachi Kanu was written off from his early stage of life's phase. He suffered from an attack, too. He got paralyzed. And he limped terribly. But life almost was shamed for the first time when his end drew. He almost was glorious. He almost was better than Kanu Zachearaia. Kachi Kanu was almost better.

Ok...I don show

If I drop comment now it will be criticismless. So, let me first tell I've read it and would my comment later

This is one of those amazingly rare writing styles. If you groomed yourself with it, those who stand before you would line up behind you.

I'm still only mildly impressed. I'm waiting for that update that would blow me away. The duckling is gradually transforming into a graceful swan, and I'm revelling in this awesome transformation.

Well done, bro.

Its been awhile I read a piece with that writing style. cool.

Howdy, guys?
How's it been?
I'm sorry for keeping the story on an indefinite hold. It really's not my wish to commence a story and leave you guys hanging. It is not. It's just that I've been quite busy with earnest preparations for something that means a lot to me.

I hope we'll understand. But I assure you, I plan on resuming whenever I'm through. As for now, though, let's bear with no update.
Thanks we all!

Brotherly, we are in the month of Ramadan na.

Cool update there. And another thing, you need to work on your punctuations- it's not every sentence that should be ended, some needs to be expanciated. Thanks

OhMiGod! Bro! I'm really glad you enjoy stories like this, honestly, bro. Honestly! I'll do better.

And regarding the 'mind-bombing' update, I surely will deliver that. Yes!

Thanks, sir!
