LEVIATHAN
Evil was not born in a day
It's either it was breeded
Or flared up
Looking at the situation
Maybe the gods are foolish
Their own creature has now supersede them.
Maybe they now regret
Maybe the don't learn
Maybe it us who is ignorant and misuse opportunity.
-----
CHAPTER ONE
The council of elders gathered around, vital issues is the only thing the bring them together like this and this situation wasn't just anyone, it was something they had to deal with.
"Jagunlabi, is it true you have been discussing with Esu? " The king asked, comfortably seated on his throne, having two lion heads designed in both arms.
Jagunlabi stood in the midst of the council as all eyes fell on him.
"Yes your highness" He replied and faced down.
"You are of True Blood, why do you want to betray us"
"It's not that, I won't do such thing, just ones have I talked with him, and that's all"
The King rised up from his throne and walked closer to Jagunlabi, he placed his hands on his neck beads and ripped it off.
"You are ripped off, Casted out of Ayenireti, we know you not and you don't know us, never will you ever associate yourself with Ayenireti, the warrior god, will take up your duty, the witches will do your job and our magicians will defend us" The King said and pushed Jagunlabi on his chest.
----
Jagunlabi stepped out of the village boundary with nothing on him, only his clothes he had on, escorted by the warrior god and two other magicians.
"You know I mean no harm" Jagunlabi said looking at the warrior god and then to the other magicians.
"You know the rule, and you over stepped them" the warrior god replied and looked at the magician. They both stepped forwardsanf stretched their hands forward and said some chants, and a fire formed before them and Jagunlabi, and died down.
"Go your way" The warrior god said and turned his back.

Jagunlabi uprooted a tree in the woods and gently laid it down, he sighed heavily and angrily punched into the tree, making it shatter into parts. He filedthe edges with his hands, and placed it into the hole he dugged, little by little he completed his wooden hut. He sat on the bare ground, and looked into the sky, the wind looked to be still for a moment, Jagunlabi looked behind him, and saw a familiar figure standing meters away.
"What do you want, you have successfully chased me away from my place of comfort" He said and placed his head inbetween his legs.
"I didn't chase you, you people seemed to be tangled in culture and religion, they are too blind to see and too dumb to reason" The figure said still maintaining its position.
"Just walk off"
"Come let me show you something "
"Esu has nothing good to offer " Jagunlabi replied.
"So they say, let me show you who I really am" Esu replied and instantly was standing before Jagunlabi and sat beside him.
"Do you know why Eledumare Casted me off from heaven" Esu asked and leaned on the hut.
Jagunlabi looked at him and looked away again.
"Eledumare decided we were not enough, so he made you humans, and placed them high over us, he cherished them more than we made of precious stone, he made them govs over u, we must do their wish, we must serve them, and all. Eledumare didn't stop there, he made us all bow before the first human he created, he made us sing their praises, worst he made me bring forth light before them" Esu said and suddenly his voice began to break.
Jagunlabi looked at him and saw tears running down Esu's face. Taken by surprise, whatever made Esu, a whole god cry, would be true.
"Then I rebelled, I was Casted down for fighting for my right, I was disbanded for speaking up, I was called by many names throughout the world, Esu, Accuser, Demon head, Leviathan, name it all blames Now fall on me, nobody thought that something would had me rebelled " Esu said and turned into dark fumes and ascended into the sky.

The King stood right in the center of the shrine, surrounded by the status of the gods they served, he looked at the emblems in his hands and smiled and gently laid them on the ground, he drew a circle round it and just them someone entered.
"Your highness, you shouldn't be in the shrine without my concept"
The King rised up and looked at who spoke, seeing the Chief priest, he smirked and picked up the emblems.
"Ifamofe" The king said, and suddenly shook his head and looked down.
"How did this emblems got out of the palace" Ifamofe asked and picked them up and faced the King.
"I don't know truly, I don't know I just suddenly saw myself here "
"Your highness, have you been putting one of these in your room" Ifamofe asked looking suspicious and continued "This only works with the rightful owner, you can't just toy with what does not belongs to you"
"What's wrong if we have more power, rising at the top of the survival chain" The King said pacing round the shrine.
"Our warrior god is enough"
"No, he isn't, what if he decides to come against us, none of us, not even the warrior god can stop him" The king said and when he heard no reply he looked back only to see Ifamofe dangling in the air, with his eyes glowing white, and suddenly he dropped to the ground.
"What did you see? " The King asked kneeling down near Ifamofe who panted heavily on the ground.
"Jagunlabi" Ifamofe said, sweat dripping off his face, he looked at the king with a troubled face.
----
----
Jagunlabi knelt down before fire he made, spreading his hands above it to keep himself warm from the chilled night breeze, he sighed lowly and stood up, walked inside his hut and came out with a piece of meat in his mouth, he chewed slowly at knelt down before the fire again.
He felt a presence behind him and spoke.
"Don't you have better things to do than to stall me all night" He asked and put up a smile.
"Huhn" Esu replied and in an instant he was opposite Jagunlabi.
"What do you want? "
Esu waved his hands into the air, immediately with the movement of his hands, a thick fume followed and it slowly turned red
"Look closely " Esu said to Jagunlabi.
Jagunlabi knelt down fully and stared at the fume, he saw himself being tied to the ground, again he saw himself leading a large army of skeleton, next he was being chanted upon, and the ground slowly covered him up
Jagunlabi fell on his back, gasped and then began panting heavily, and slowly stood up.
"What was that? "
"The earlier you know, your people are scared of you, they will sentence you to dust, raise army against you, pull you to the ground, they consider you a threat" Esu said and stood up
"You are on your own now " He said and began walking into the woods.
"Wait, I will be needing your help, please" Jagunlabi said, with a sad countenance

The council of elders meeting heated up with arguments from the elders, the King sat still looking confused and finally spoke.
"The only way to stop Jagunlabi from ruining us, is to hunt him first" The king said.
"No, that'll be stupid of us, a prophecy only comes to pass, if acted towards, us hunting him will fuel his anger the more" An elder said trying to make others reason with him.
"Ifamofe, tell them what you saw" The king said looking at Ifamofe, who stood still all this while.
"A war is coming, Jagunlabi will feast on our blood all, in the revelation, I saw him combined all the emblems together, I saw him lead an army of dead, I saw him sitting on the throne" Ifamofe said, looking at the elders one after the other.
"My Lord, allow me with three of our best magician and two of our witches" The warrior god said, placing his right hand on his shoulder.
"There are better way to settle issues" An elder said, making sure he was heard.
"No better way, than to kill him before he kills us, do as you wish warrior god" The king said and rised from his throne.
"I won't be part of this madness, we are only putting the future of our children at risk" The elder that spoke first said and walked out angrily.
The King stood still, looking at the elder that walked out, and spoke.
"Double the security on the emblem, and triple the security at the entire palace " He said and walked out and one after the other, the elders dragged their feet out of the palace.
----
Jagunlabi, filled his sword, sitting on bare ground, he concentrated on the filling as he whistled, he admired the sword, and then channeled thunderbolt into it. He heard a strange loud screeching from the woods and quickly stood to his feet, then another strange noise again.
"That's probably not of any animal I know" He said and bolted into the woods.
He stopped as he got nearer to the sound and lessened his pace, slowly he advanced, he pulled down a leaf to make him see ahead, his eyes opened at what he saw.
The beast before him, struggled to free itself from under the fallen trees it was trapped under, it wriggled its tail but it proved futile, and it screeched again. Jagunlabi slowly walked out of hiding, seeing this giant lizard, with strong tails, and a hard body, dark as soot, he walked forward and stood in front of it. The beast angrily spitted fire from its mouth at Jagunlabi, who stood still and slowly the fire died down, Jagunlabi sneezed hard, as his body cooled off, and smiled at the beast.
"I'll free you one only one condition " He said looking at beast that lowered it's head before him.
"Good"
----
The warrior god say on his horse, and received his spiked club from the servant that held it, behind him were three orthers, two magicians and a witch.
"Ire " The king called out and walked up to the warrior god and he got very close to the horse "Make sure you kill him, only that sword emblem can kill a true blood" The king said and squeezed something into Ire's hand.

Jagunlabi threw a piece of meat at the beast before him and it gladly chewed it up and wag it's tail joyfully. Jagunlabi looked at it, admiring it's strong wings, the body fully covered with strong scales.
The dragon suddenly rised to its feet, and turned towards the right, and growled softly.
"Calm, he is a Friend" Jagunlabi said and placed his hand on the beast.
"I see you have gotten a dragon, a leviathan, you know every True Blood gets one when they are about facing a great challenge" Esu said and walked pass the dragon.
"You said Leviathan was part of the names you bear why did you just call this beast a leviathan? " Jagunlabi said, looking suspiciously at Esu.
Esu turned his back and smiled at Jagunlabi
"They liken me to it, a furious beast, that burns everything on its part, a beast that it wings blows strongly and is glorious in the sky, an almost impenetrable beast" Esu said and made his eyes flash red.
"Leviathan, I actually like that name" Jagunlabi said and smiled. "Why are you here? "
"The hunt has began " Esu said and vanished.
"I hate it when he does that, what kind of hunt? " Jagunlabi asked confused by the statement.
----
Jagunlabi turned and walked towards his hut, and he suddenly felt weak, his eyes were dizzy, his feet were too heavy to lift, he fell to the ground and mumbled some words, he noticed footsteps behind him, and next was his dragon roar and his eyes closed.
---
Jagunlabi felt the rush of wind and he opened his eyes, and discovered he was on his dragon's back, in the air.
"Bind spell" Jagunlabi said, when it dawned on him what happened.
"Turn back " He said and held tight to his dragon, he was filled with rage and bitteredat heart.
He jumped off the dragon,diving in the sky...THUUUDDDD! He crashed on the ground, boring a hole in, and intercepted his hunters.
"The predator is now the prey" He said and walked out of the share, while his dragon screeched behind him.
Ire and the others alighted their horses, fully alerted.
"Kill anybody" Jagunlabi said to his beast and threw three sets of thunderbolts at his opponents.

Jagunlabi fired two fireballs from his hands, pushing his hands backward a little, the two magicians stretched their hands forward, and began chanting words while their eyes were becoming white, dust began to raise in the air, and slowly it began to grow wild, Jagunlabi fired again, Ire, clapped his hands together, making a shield round him and others, Jagunlabi dashed with super speed, closing against the shield in order to break it, but was thrown some few meters away, the whirlwind sucked him in and slammed him on the ground.
The dragon growled angrily and slammed it's tail on the shield, Ire was forced to his knees, and grinned clinching his teeth on his lips, he still struggled to keep the shield up, the dragon raised its tail up again and before it could bring it down the witch in their midst packed sand from the ground, and blew air from her mouth at the sand, the sand flew out from the shield and turned into a large human, almost getting to the sky, it raised a leg and attempted to smash it, the dragon quickly poured out fire from its mouth at the feet of the sand man, making it melt to the ground.
It growled and raised its tail up and smashed it on the shield, sending everyone under it into different parts. Jagunlabi jumped out of the whirlwind and dashed towards one of the magicians and ripped his head of his body, he dashed again to the other magician and punched him with fireball on the chest.
The dragon screeched loud and poured out fire from its mouth at the witch, she rolled her hands in a circular motion, making the fire divide into parts, while she was in the centre and strained hard to keep the defense.
Ire slowly stood up, Jagunlabi held him by the neck and raised him up.
"Why do you hunt me, I thought we are friends, I thought we swore never to betray each other" Jagunlabi said still having his hand on his neck.
"Jagunlabi, we might be friends, but I can't sit down and let you destroy our lives" Ire said and shone the emblem with him at Jagunlabi.
Jagunlabi threw him far off, and the emblem fell of Ire's hand.
The witch began to sweat profusely, her strength began to fail her, the dragon seemed to be able to spot out fire for eternity, she gradually loosed strength and collapsed, immediately the fire devoured her, even to the ash.
"Jagunlabi is dead, my name is Leviathan " Jagunlabi said and picked the emblem from the ground, he walked towards his dragon, and climbed on its back from the head.
"You have started a war you can't win" Leviathan said and turned the head of the dragon, holding tight to the horns.
"I will still hunt you with my last breath" Ire said and watched as Leviathan's dragon dived into the sky.

CHAPTER TWO
Ire stood before the king, avoiding gaze with him, the King also sat on his throne, still was unable to comprehend the warrior god's explanation and finally he spoke.
"You lossed the Binding emblem, and you think it's a matter to be treated with levity" The King said softly and rised "You should only return back to this city when you have Jagunlabi's head" He said and walked past Ire.
.
Leviathan tossed the emblem up and opened his palm expecting it to drop, he looked up and saw the emblem was suspended in mid air, he looked behind him and smiled on seeing Esu.
"That, combining it with its brothers can make you the most powerful "Esu said and snapped his fingers, and the emblem dropped to the ground.
"I know" Leviathan said and bent down to pick the emblem
"Where is the big guy? "Esu asked and appeared beside leviathan.
"Hunting"
Thunder began to strike in the sky for about three minutes, and it later died down, Leviathan looked at Esu, confused about what is on.
"What's that, I know it's not ordinary " Leviathan said and looked at Esu who had no puzzled look
"Someone has invoked the gods" Esu said and turned to Leviathan "The gods are now involved" Esu said began to dissolve into shadow.
"Where are you going? " Leviathan asked, seeing Esu was slowly fading away.
"Getting prepared, anyone invoking the gods has to be stopped now" Esu said and the shadow he turned into bolted into the sky and moved at a fast pace towards the East.
---
Ire held a calabash with him, which brought out smoke from inside, standing right outside the border s of Ayenireti, with his chest bare.
"The one you chose, has now turned on you, and his duties, strengthen me, join forces with me to pull him down " Ire said and slowly he began to bring the calabash on his hand to the ground.
"Don't drop it" A voice suddenly said before him.
Ire looked forward, and felt relieved seeing the King before him, with three other soldiers he knew and others coming out from a nearby bush, probably the King had gone to inspect the borders as it was his doing.
"Your highness" He said and stood upright "I have to complete the ritual"
"No, let Leviathan come back to his sense, you know we can't hunt whom the gods had chosen"
Ire paused still and knew something was wrong, he moved a step backwards and quickly dropped the calabash to the ground
"Accept this offering" He said and dived towards his sword.
The calabash broke into pieces and the smoke rised up into the cloud and another thunder stroke.
"I never told you, he know bears Leviathan, who are you" Ire asked, and swayed his sword.
Black fumes slowly gathered out of the soldiers and entered into the King, and he gradually changed into Esu.
"Esu, I should have known" Ire said and dashed towards Esu screaming.
A force suddenly sweeped him off the ground and slammed him on the ground. IRETI groaned and channeled out his beast soul, which had the look of an elephant with a horn on its fore head, the tusk had long spikes on them. The least soul rammed Esu so hard, Esu was forced to the ground, he coughed hard and suddenly disappeared seeing the thunder Bolt that was charged at him.
Ire felt a sharp cut on his shoulder, he turned back and again another one came again, making him fall on his knees.
"Shoe yourself and fight with honor" He said and a thick smoke suddenly stroke him on the chest and pulled him down, strangling his neck.
Ire struggled to break free, but it proved vain, the more he struggle the more pain he felt, his eye lids slowly began to close, as his fave seemed to had swollen up, he spouted spit from his mouth and tilted his head sideway.
Ire's hand began to shine and slowly a staff began to form on his right hand, he struggled to open his eyes and with his last strength he stamped the staff on the ground, a very bright light immediately came out from the staff and stroke the black smoke that choked him, making it disperse.
Ire used the staff for support and the light died down the black smoke gathered and turned into Esu, who was already clinching tight to his shoulder, and on his face was white liquid pouring down on his face.
"Obatala's staff" Esu said and snarled.
Ire held the staff on his hands pointing the round head at Esu and a thunder Bolt came out from it and before it could hit Esu, he disappeared

CHAPTER THREE
Esu rrelaxed himself on the ground and groaned biting his lips as his wounds slowly began to heal, he looked at Leviathan and shook his head and spoke.
"Nothing in the world can stop him" Esu said and watched as his arms healed slowly. "He has the weapon of creation, Obatala's pride " Esu said and smiled at Leviathan.
"What next? " leviathan asked and looked at his dragon as the joyfully had a large piece of meat between it jaws.
"Nothing" Esu said and disappeared.
"Good, the devil shouldn't be trusted" Leviathan said and went into his hut and cane out with a green cloth around his neck, and used the hood to cover his face.
As he ran toward his dragon, a thunder Bolt suddenly sent him off balance, making him roll hard on the floor. He raised his head and saw Ire standing distance away with the staff in his hand. Another shot came forward, Leviathan jammed his hands on the ground, and rolled into the air, avoiding the thunderbolt.
The dragon snarled and breathed fire at Ire, who rolled his staff, gathering force of wind and threw it at the fire. The wind covered the fire and splited it into two halves.
Leviathan jumped off dodging the fire that came at him, the second fire was too fast for the dragon to avoid, within the blink of an eye, the dragon was turned to ash.
Leviathan threw thunderbolt furiously, at Ire, who used the staff to path way and continued working towards Leviathan. Ire jumped into the air and used the bottom of the staff to jam on Leviathan's chest, and still used it to pin him down.
"Finish it" Leviathan said and spitted blood from his mouth.
"That will be mercy, am binding your soul to the earth" Ire said and began chanting some odd words, Leviathan's body began to turn into a solid mud, as the earth slowly began to cover him up, gradually, Leviathan's body was buried into the ground.
CHAPTER FOUR
.
The moonlight shone brightly, the only sound that could be heard in the woods was that of cricket and constant howling of wolves and strange noise.
"No one is allowed to hunt on this part of the wood" The hunter that followed behind said and they laid in wait for the right time to strike.
"That's why we will be fortunate, imagine the big bulls we would hunt down " The other said adjusting his gun.
"Let's split up"
Both hunter's went seperate direction, the first hunter switched off his head halogen torch and based his movement if instinct, from afar he sighted a deer, about three times bigger than the ones he had hunted.
"Olorun o" He muttered and moved forward so as to gain lesser distance, to make the fire power of his gun have more hit.
As he moved, he scratched his leg against a thorn which made him bleed, a drop of blood let off and he felt the ground rumble softly beneath him, he tried taking another step, only to discover his legs were stuck. Fear griped him as he felt a had crawl up his leg, he tried to scream but it seemed his voice track was lost, he fell to the ground and slowly life creeper out of him, as his body began to look skinny and in an instance it dried off.
Another figure rised from the ground, having dirty green cloth around it's neck, the figure faced the direction ofhe moon and let out a very loud screech
