VICTORIA’S ORDER
She jumped over the fallen branch that laid on her path, whatever chased her won’t let her breath once it laid it hands on her. The drizzling rain, almost made running impossible, but She had no better option. Million thoughts on her mind,but She had to struggle for survival. She fell forcefully on the ground, hitting her head against a stone, and instantly went unconscious, but before her eye lids closed, She saw a figure in front of her, standing in a defense like position and She closed her eyes.

——————-

Victoria slightly opened her eyes, at first the vision was blurry, She let out a soft groan and felt a cold hand on her for head, She looked towards the direction the hand had come from and noticed She was surrounded by a group of people about 7 in number.

“It’s a good thing you are awake” A voice said from the group

Victoria managed to rise on the bed, with support from the group.

“Where am I? ”

“The better question is who are you? ” The lady that spoke earlier said.

“Welcome to a new world, things will now be complete different from the world you had come from”

“Those huge monsters” Victoria said feeling slight headache

“Guttatas”

“Who are you people? ”

“Vampire Family, you are one of us”

Victoria felt something sharp on her neck and immediately went limp

“Ananiah, that wasn’t necessary”

“It will save us the stress of trying to cut a long story short, anyways you are welcome”

CHAPTER TWO

Who would have thought, some thing so fictional actually really exist. Guttatas, werewolves, vampires, silies, grey moths, even in the western part of Africa. They had really succeed in keeping themselves invisible to the outer world.

Victoria suddenly rose from the sofa, raising herself effortlessly, she looked liked she had seen something out of the ordinary, really that was what happened.

Each Vampire always had a gift that made them extraordinary. Such was the case of Ananiah, he is a psychic who could make someone know about an entire existence within a minute, he also possessed the ability to make one know about their future, but he himself cant foretell his own future.

“easy, how was the journey” Ananiah said calmly placing his hand on Victoria.

She calmly took turn to look at the faces of everyone in the group.

“Ananiah here has answered your question, you know who we are we, and you know the world you are now into” The dark lady in the group said.

Cecelia, the Family head, visibly looked fragile, like a strong wind could pull her down at any contact, not to be judged by her look, She has successfully keep her kind safe over a century now and still keeps them safe.

Cecelia,about 5.6ft in height, dark skinned a pale face, along side short hairs.

“My Dad” Victoria said and attempted to find her way out of wherever the hell she was.

“We have sent out scout to make sure your father is safe but first let’s see what kind of Vampire blood running you, you look different from us” Ananiah said trying to make Victoria scared.

“Whatever this is, or what ever you are, tricks don’t work on me, and I am not one of you, shit, I need to wake from this deep sleep” She said pacing around and hitting her hands hard on her head

Victoria made her way to the door and turned the knob.

“You won’t last long out there” The one who looked huge said

Ayo, one of the best fighter, due to his aggressive nature, a little fair 7ft tall, his eye ball seemed to be lost in its socket he had the ability to create illusion which seemed so real.

“Let her be, some of us Learn the hard way” Cecilia said.

“you know I had a date with a mundane then you ruined it by asking me to Bring her in” Ayo said visible angry.

******

******

CHAPTER THREE

ayo angrily threw a light punch against the concrete wall, boring a hole into it

“Nothing is going to make me go after the half breed” He said and placed his Right middle finger in his mouth

Victoria after what seemed like hours of trekking, finally made her way out of the wood into the city, She felt weak like her bones were unwilling to function, She managed to get a cab that took her to her destination.

……………

……………

“I now order to you to make sure Victoria is safe” Cecelia said, now exercising her true power

The only reason Ayo was appointed on this duty, was only because he was a Daywalker, he was among the very few who could walk in broad daylight without getting fried up by the sun.

Victoria carefully walked around her home, every where disordered, the flower vase broken and shattered on the floor, the kitchen cabinet was torn apart, huge claw mark on the wall of the living room.

She heard footsteps approaching her and quickly hid herself. The growl gradually approached her,

“Guttata” She muttered and grabbed the fire extinguisher next to her as a form of defense.

She came out of her hiding and sprayed the extinguisher at the devious beast and made a run for survival.

The Guttatas screeched loudly and swiftly caught her by her leg dipping it’s claw into her fragile leg, it pressed deeper into her leg until Victoria could fell it claw on her bone. “Ahhhh”Victoria screamed loudly, stream of tears dropping g down her eyes.

This is the end she thought within herself as The Guttata crawled up on her and snarled at her. It gradually lowered it’s teeth towards her neck.

The Guttata suddenly went crashing against the ceiling sending down the lamp holder.

It was Ayo, he bent down and helped Victoria to her feet as she struggled twith the pain on her

“You”

“Can you walk “Ayo asked as he wrapped her hand against his neck

“it hurts, I can’t find my father”

Ayo made a deaf ear to her last statement as he carefully helped Victoria into the SUV jeep, he hurriedly sat at the driver seat and ignited the jeep and sped into the highway.

“You should be healing by now” Ayo said at the sight of the gushing blood that freely oozed out of her leg.”Here put pressure around the wound” He said and handed over his jacket to her.

“I need explanation” Victoria said weakly

“You are angelic” Ayo said, concentrating on the driving

“meaning? ”

“The reason why I can walk in the sun, I came across an angelic blood, it changes the chemistry of a vampire giving extra features. That’s why the Guttatas want you”

“But I don’t have super speed, or see in dark not even blood thirst as vampires do”

“You are different, a true Vampire, they are only few of you and we think you are the only surviving one left”

A crash came at the car jerking it forward

“Guttatas, they never give up” Ayo said and looked at the rear mirror “about five on us, we are on our own, , and I need you to cooperate, there, you are healing already”

Ayo swiftly drove the car into the woods trying as much as possible to avoid the trees, two cars drove up side by side, the window of the cars pulled down.

“Shit, Arrow head, lay low” Ayo said at the sight of the gun that were pointed at them.

Instead the guns were shot at the tires of the jeep.

Ayo pulled the car to a halt

“Do you smell that, these guys are dead” he said as they alighted the jeep

The wind seemed to cease, the trees were still, even the chirping of birds was ceased, the surrounding gave another type of smell.

“What’s that? ” Victoria askdd

The Guttatas in their human form steadily advanced towards them, with rapt attentiveness.

A soft growl came from the woods, which made the Guttatas stop Advancing towards their target. From behind Ayo and Victoria came a whole wolf pack from the woods.

“I thought you guys had already broken alliance” Ayo said directly to the Alpha.

Apart from the Alpha who stood about 8feet in all four legs the other pack were a bit taller than an average human height . The furs of the Alpha were dark red.

They all snarled at the Guttatas. The one who seemed to lead the Guttatas, gave a head signal to lower their weapon.

“For the first time in more than a million year, an alliance” The Guttatas Leader said

“Are you going to back off or you wish to rumble, we got the bigger gun” Ayo said

Thanks sis

Esu slowly pushed his fingers into Eri's chest, he dipped his hand further, letting Eri give a loud cry as hot steam of tears flowed from his eyes. Blood dripped freely from Eri's body. Esu felt the stone and gasped trying to catch his breath, he wickedly pulled the stone out slowly.
Gloria slightly opened her eyes, seeing what Eri was going through, she summoned her strength and slowly crawled towards the book, she picked it up and grabbed Esu on the leg, and also laid the book against his leg.
Esu screamed loudly "Take that away" he shouted and dropped Eri to the ground. The dark soul struggled not to leave the body of its host and screeched loudly
"I cast you into total darkness" Gloria shouted
Esu screamed loudly and with a loud burst, he was nowhere to be found, slowly the darkness that filled the shrine, faded away.
Emi felt relieved and walked into the shrine and IRETI also stood up to her feet. Emi pulled Eri on his back and hurried towards the palace.
Emi took Gloria to where Ajanaku was and went back to attend to Eri, to help him heal faster.

Emi and IRETI placed their hand on Eri's chest, their hands glowed, and they both groaned, as Eri's pain entered into their own body, and as his wounds healed.
"Am alive" Eri said smiling from where he laid.
"You didn't finish the spell" Ajanaku said from behind "I caught a white skin lady, I locked her up in the prison" Ajanaku said feeling proud.
Everyone in the room tried to hide their expression, trying not laugh.
.
.
Esu growled angrily he tore the neck of one of his hell beast. He looked at the gathering and spoke.
"in 4 years time, Emi's children will be the problem we have, a seed greater than all of them will rise and one by one he will destroy all of us. "
Esu said as darkness flowed from his eyes.
"let's end them" Okunkun said, his voice echoing repeatedly
"It's not as easy as you think they now know about the greater power"


THE END.

NEXT ON THE TREND WILL BE
REMI(HEROES FROM BEYOUND)
Remi is the problem Esu talks about.
Watch out.

Emi entered into the shrine with his sword on his right hand, he charged his beast soul into the sword and approached Esu.
"You are here" Esu said and looked at Gloria.
"It's just a boy" Gloria whispered to Emi in English, knowing fully he wouldn't understand her.
"I take any form I wish" Esu replied and his eyes flashed red. "Am the one you refer to as Lucifer, you see the beauty in me is that, am everywhere at once "
Emi tapped Gloria signaling to her to carry out her plan. Esu gave no chance to any thinking, he waved his hand towards Gloria, making an invisible force throw her against the wall. The big book she held fell to the ground and slided towards Esu.
Esu quickly moved back from the book, he slightly screeched, and looked at the book and then Emi.
Emi knew Esu was scared of the book, or it posses something stronger, Esu couldn't move forward, crosing over the book seemed a burden.
"Scared" Emi said and grinned. He charged his beast soul and threw it Esu. The force threw Esu against the wall, bursting out of the shrine.
Emi leaped after Esu, and his sword found its way into his chest. Esu screeched loudly, a dark soul rose out of the child and zapped itself in again.
"I will force you out" Emi shouted and ran into the shrine to get the book.
Esu knew what he wanted to do, and picked himself up, he stretched his hand, and Emi felt heavy on the legs, moving was really hard for him.
"What are you doing? " Emi muttered trying to move his legs.
Esu walked up to Emi and punched him on the stomach.
Emi tried hard not to groan, he raised his head and tightened his lips trying to subdue the pain.
"Stupid" Esu said and nodded him
Esu suddenly flew some meters away from Emi, and landed roughly on the ground.
"Stay away from him" IRETI shouted and charged her beast soul.
Eri pulled out an arrow and placed it on his bow.
"Stand back"
"Eri, the book in the shrine get it" Emi shouted, still struggling with his legs.
Eri dashed into the shrine is search of the book. Esu gathered himself and with speed of light he dashed at IRETI. IRETI also dashed and met herself pinned to the ground, also finding it hard to move. Esu moved his neck sideways and walked into the shrine.
Eri walked near to Gloria trying to get her back into consciousness. He gently laid Gloria and stood up facing Esu.
He sighted the book laying at the tall idol for Obatala. He slid towards it and attempted to take it, but his hand felt heavy, pain running through his veins, his hand immediately began looking pale.
"That makes two of us"
Eri quickly headed away from the book, and crawled back to where Gloria laid.
Esu walked up majestically and raised Eri up into the air by the neck. He tore his cloth and moved his hand towards the region where the hell Stone laid on Eri's chest.

"Open the gate" Emi commanded the guard in charge and walked down to the gate.
"Welcome, you are welcome to stay in the palace "
Getting to the palace, emi continued his talk with Eri.
"we need to have a plan, we still don't know what Esu is up to"
.
.
Eri walked alone into the shrine, there he met a child facing the carved idol of Obatala, while the other idols fell flat on the ground.
"Welcome" The boy said and turned to face Eri.
"What do you want"
"Nothing, I just live the joy of showing your god's they are not enough to stop me"
"But war has broken in your realm"
"true, which makes matters complicated, a greater power has risen, a power that needs just faith" Esu said, and bent down to pick an idol. "all this will be forgotten, not me, I am the main character in this arc"
"You are scared, the world will rise against you"
"No, I will rise against the world"
"What exactly do you want" Eri asked
"My hell Stone, I need it, but it's not fun getting it without adding more souls to my kingdom, after that, everyone you love will die"
Esu(possesing the boy) he bolted towards Eri and laid his hands on Eri's head.
Esu gasped and retreated from Eri.
"Tell me why I won't kill you?, the one that will trouble me will be a seed from you" Esu thundered.
Eri knew he had no choice against him and bolted out of the shrine.
.
.
Eri sat down in the wide compound of the palace, now he even knows the name of his child without yet thinking of getting married, he even knew who his wife would be. When he narrated the ordeal between him and Esu to Emi, he had pleaded IRETI wouldn't be there when he spoke.
"olodo " IRETI said and spanked Eri on his head.
"what's wrong with you? " Eri cried out, rubbing his head.
IRETI sat down near Eri and placed her hand over his shoulder.
"Don't worry, we will get rid of him, and your father will come back to normal " IRETI said reassuring him.
"I know, am not thinking about it jor"
"Hey you know I have fee...... " Ireti was about completing her statement when she was interrupted.
"Hello" the white skin lady said in her own language.
"itunmo?(meaning) " Eri said smiling wickedly.
"Gil..or..iaa"ireti said, stamerring
"No, no it Gloria, my name is Gloria,oruko mi Gloria" The white lady replied, trying to make the children understand
"Gloria" they all chorused.
"What is happening, I discovered you and your father all have powers and I like that " Gloria said with a very poor yoruba accent.
"yes, even Esu is giving us problem, and father Casted spell on father" Eri said.
"I can help, with the name of Jesus, every knee will bow"
.
.
Emi paced round the room, Eri had told him about Esu talking about a greater power from Orisa nla, could it be that Same power Gloria was talking about,all they needed was to try, even now, all hands would be on deck.
"Yemoja also told me, the gods were angry Orisa nla, made a greater power. " Emi said facing Gloria "we should try your way"

Entering into the city, Emi walked to his home, nothing he could think of, returning, news of 13 dead had reached him.
.
.
"Eri" IRETI called out, and walked closer to him, in the royal prison where he was chained.
"I was beginning to think I won't see you"
IRETI walked closer and sat down near him, she had a reassuring look on her face.
"What about father" Eri asked
IRETI quickly changed the topic, she knew it would do him no better telling him what happened to Ajanaku, or telling him matters just got from bad to worse, the gods now have their own problem the must handle.
"Eri have to tell you something" IRETI said, and placed her hands on her chest, trying to control her heart beat.
"And" Eri replied looking at her in the eye.
"Since, we are not sibling from the same parents.. "
"Princess, Eri, your father seeks you both " a guard said, interrupting IRETI at the middle of her words.
IRETI quickly stood to her feet and broke the chains off Eri.
"Let's go, maybe a solution came up" She said and lead the way.
.
.
Adeshewa, shifted on the bed, allowing both children to sit down beside her. Emi placed a stool in front of them and began.
"Eri, you said, that stone draws you closer to Esu, right" Emi asked.
"Yes, even know I still feel him" He replied.
"Good, I need you to meditate and try to know where he is" Emi replied.
"I know where he his, he wants us to come"
"where? "
"Shrine of the Greater gods"
.
.
Ogunjimi stood at the wall, trying to pass away time, chatting with other soldiers, just then one alerted them they had strangers heading towards Ayenireti.
Three chariots approached the gas and halted some meters from it. A white skin lady, alighted the middle chariot, walking graciously, a big book on her hand, she raised her hand up and spoke.
"Shey Alafia ni mo bayin(Hope you are all in good health). Although she didn't speak it fluently, but it was fluent enough for the guards to understand her. The way she said it, was a mix of her accent and the way her nose moved unfavourably to another man's language.
Ogunjimi and the other guards froze, and demanded she said it again, rolling their hands to signify a repeat. After she said it Ogunjimi, responded.
"Kilo fe ? (what do you want) " he asked
.
.
Emi ran up to the wall behind him was his whole family including the King.

Emi knew things were now becoming to get out of hand, the only solution he saw to it was to seek the gods, even now they are refusing to answer him, even the Chief Priest, has no answer from them.
.
.
Emi urged his horse outside Ayenireti, he needed answers, if he really needed it, Ayenireti was not the best place for him to peaceful meditate, he had to go far from it. NIRETI CAVE was the best option he could think of, the silent nature, was all he needed.
He alighted his horse and headed towards the cave, getting to the entrance, he sat down on the bare ground, folding his legs into each other, he placed his hand gently on his leg and closed his eyes.
.
.
Emi entered into the Greater Gods Realm in spirit, he walked towards the gate, normally one would have being hearing the joyful chat of the gods from the entrance, but every where was silent, the mighty gate widely open, Emi advanced further seeing the tables turned upside down.
“What is wrong?” Emi muttered to himself.
“Emi” A female voice called from behind.
“Yemoja” Emi replied on seeing who called his name
“Whats wrong?, why is everywhere deserted?”
“War, war broke in this realm, the gods has refused to agree in terms with Orisa Nla, who you call Eledumare” Yemoja said and relaxed fairly on the turned table.
“That is the reason why no one has been hearing our plea” Emi said.
Yemoja felt pity on Emi, this fragile being has now being caught up in their own mess, they had been so blind to want to rule, they had forgotten, Esu would use this chance nicely.
“Orisa Nla took a decision behind us, the sacrifices we collect are no more, he sent one of his servant in his own realm to finally lay himself as an atonement, now the news is now being spread like wildfire, round the earth, and it is placing us in lower gratitude” Yemoja said and continued “ The answer you seek is not here” She said and turned into water and floated out of the realm

Emi summoned every warrior he had designated to different villages to safe and bring in the refugees. The total number of refugees that came in total were 17,201 both man and woman and child altogether. They immediately, gathered all refugees together, each pairing with their family.
"Emi, one person is missing " Ogunjimi whispered into Emi's ear.
"So it's confirmed, with the spiritual hold, around Ayenireti he shouldn't be able to go out, unless we let the gate open for long" Emi said "He is trapped, but how do we get him?",AHHHHHHHH!! A loud scream came from one of the hut. Emi and Ogunjimi quickly ran in, only to find Ajanaku standing next to a dead child's body, his sword dripping at the tip with blood.
"What did you do? " Emi asked kneeling near the child.
"Nothing, I didn't do this" Ajanaku replied still glued to where he stood.

"Listen to yourself, how did you get here if you didn't kill him? "
"Let me explain" Ajanaku said and dropped his sword to the ground.
Emi eyes glowed, his bead floated around his neck, he stretched his hand towards Ajanaku and began to chant.
"For every death the sword takes
One life gone
Hear o man
Thy consequences of thy action
Casted into they soul
Roam thou mind
I cast you to thy deepest darkness of emotion
You are broken"

Ajanaku was gripped with fear, Emi was chanting the soul exit spell on him
"Emi don't do... "
"Let they darkest fear consume you" Emi chanted and placed a finger on Ajanaku's forehead.
Ajanaku eye ball turned thick white, and he fell to the ground, his thinking was now far from him, he was nothing different from a mad man, just that Ajanaku would only roam around looking dumb.
"Now what next" Ogunjimi asked, he looked towards where the boy laid, and was shocked "Emi the body is not here, it's gone"
IMPOSSIBLE!!! Emi screamed, the echo tearing apart one part of the hut.
.
.
.
"You know the consequences of what you did, now we have Esu to deal with, then Ajanaku, you have to return him to his normal state and you know that is impossible unless, a life is sacrificed and Eri, you have to free him too, all these trouble in one day, of using your spell power" Adeshewa lamented and walked out of the room.
IRETI also stood up and followed behind, then halted at Emi's words.
"Am sorry" He said
"Then find a solution " She replied and walked out.

.
Emi stood in front the King looking worried, but not as the King. The kingdom was going down, things didn't seem to work well. The only source of water in ayenireti for the first time was dried up, with no single traces, even not a mud was seen, over night the water was gone. The farm told another story, their yams were dugged out from the ground, the maize all suddenly dried up, oils turning solid and hard.
The situation was going BEYOUND them,at first they thought it was over population, but now, the case is different.
"Emi what do we do? " Adeshewa asked looking worried, she held IRETI's hand tightly and moved her closer.
"The gods are refusing to talk to me, even the chief priest is not getting any response" Emi replied and looked at Ajanaku where he sat.
Ajanaku nodded at him, and faced another direction. The only reason Emi was not considering what Ajanaku said, was only he didn't want to believe Esu was in their midst.
Eri walked closer and stood near Emi and spoke.
"I think I know what's wrong" Eri said and pulled of his Dansiki
His right chest glowed brightly, it was the hell Stone.
"Ever since we came back, this stone has been glowing and making me feel more powerful, when I touch a source of nature, it releases it energy into me and they die "

"How is that possible? " Ajanaku muttered.
"I think Esu is in Ayenireti" Eri said again "I have a strong connection to him"
"You can't say that, you haven't even seen him" Emi said, trying to ignore the possibility of that.
"I have seen him, he appears to me, in dreams"
"The boy speaks the truth, Esu is in Ayenireti and the Human god knows about it" Ajanaku said and stood to his feet.
"Restrain him" Emi ordered the guards and pointed at Eri. "Don't worry son, we will set you free, just don't let Esu get into your head"
"No he won't "Eri said.
"Even the brightest warrior fell for his tricks" Emi said and looked at Ajanaku.
"Why don't you abuse me in secret "Ajanaku said wriggling his mouth. He patted Eri on the back and spoke "I trust you, your father thought you well"
IRETI stood still, something strange was also happening to her, ever since she knew Eri wasn't her brother, by any means, she had already began to feel something strong for him, something called love...

ESU AMONG US
Ajanaku held his sword with a tight grip, he stared at Emi and angrily dashed forward raising his sword to slash him. Emi moved sideways, the sword passed by his face, almost in contact with his face. Emi jumped backward, as the sword passed sideways his stomach. He rolled by and made attempt to use the butt of his sword to hit Ajanaku's head. Ajanaku placed his palm by his head, blocking the contact the sword was about to make.
"Why do you return" Emi shouted and slammed his body against Ajanaku.
"Redemption is not an easy thing to find" Ajanaku replied and his feet found a spot of Emi's face.
Emi staggered backward, he shaked his head lightly.
"Am glad for what you did, already Esu hasn't made his way into your mind" Emi said, he disappeared and appeared behind Ajanaku, kicking his knee joint.
Ajanaku rolled on the ground and attempted a backward kick.
"How are you getting along with your son? " Emi asked.
"He calls me Uncle" Ajanaku said laughing hard.
Emi held Ajanaku's leg and punched his stomach, Ajanaku groaned and disappeared
A force threw Emi into the air and made a loud thud on the ground. He strained and stretched his hand, as Ajanaku aided him up.
"You want to say something" Emi said,studying Ajanaku as they walked out of the fight arena.
"Esu is in ayenireti" Ajanaku said and continued "He is the only reason I came here, to hunt him"
Emi stopped and faced Ajanaku and spoke
"How did you know ?" Emi asked
"I suggest you filter the refugees you brought in, one of them is possesed" Ajanaku said and walked out, leaving Emi at the arena.

"I brought someone along" Ajanaku said pointing towards the woods.
A questioning look took over both Ogunjimi and IRETI's face.
"Your grandfather " Ajanaku said. He stretched his hand, towards the woods, and a heavy wind blew, bending the trees sideways
"That's the signal" Ajanaku said again.
"You mean the King is alive? " Ogunjimi asked smiling.
"Am I still allowed into the city, I could use some hospitality" he said with bright countenance on his face.
Was Ajanaku really a changed man, or still up to his old tricks, Ogunjimi still couldn't reason it out. Still he had to be careful, even the King mysterious return, has to be checked.

"Grandpa" IRETI shouted, threw her sword to the ground and ran up to the King who happily hastened his footstep.
.
.

The gates of ayenireti rolled up, as Emi, Eri and the refugees, trooped in. Emi knew something was up, not something bad, he knew in his spirit, a familiar presence was around.
"I sense it too" Eri said, confirming what Emi thought within him.
"They are also back" A woman whispered, as people began to gather following the horse to the palace
"the King also returned three days ago"
Emi heard those words and charged his horse faster towards the palace.
He ran in alongside Eri, only to see someone he never expected, Ajanaku. Emi stood still,beside Ajanaku was Adeshewa, who chatted lively with him, also the King on his throne.
"Emi" the King said and ran up to Emi, and hugged him tightly.
Emi freed himself from the grip, thousands of thoughts running through his mind, first from what was Ajanaku doing here, then to the King.
"Brother" Ajanaku said and grabbed Emi by the arm, as they did when they were still together. Emi tightened the grip and hugged Ajanaku.
"Who is this ruddy young man" Ajanaku asked, smiling at Eri.
"Eri, your son"


Ajanaku Tried controlling the tears that dropped from his eyes, but seems every strong has to give in to emotion.
"You took really good care of him" Ajanaku said, still with watery eyes.
Eri prostrated to his father, and stood up. Emi has really cared for him and only five days ago did he know Emi wasn't his real father
"Your highness"
"Thanks to Ajanaku, he saved me, from the white skin, our brethren are risen fast in support of the white men, they had the guts to sell me into slavery" the King said, he raised his fist up "I will tear down on them, like the sun dries up water, I will scorch them, never in their life would any of their generation repeat such"

@donielord he isn't dead, if you recall, when the pillar squashed him, he still came back to help Emi kill the hell beast(owo iku). His death was an illusion, you should know when he shows, he needs something.

The whole of ayenireti, moved to the fight arena, while the foreigners, pressed further, trying o break down the walls of the city. IRETI lost hope, if about 20 more of the canon balls should hit a spot continuously, the walls will fall. Ogunjimi on the other hand, felt exhausted, he knew this task was more than what IRETI could handle.
SWOOOOOOSHHHHH!! the blast came over and over again.
"What are you? " Ogunjimi shouted at IRETI
"A grand God"
"I don't think you are one, all I see is a coward who only depends on a human god, who is not even half his way to become a Grand god" Ogunjimi shouted.
He walked up thought the stairs to the top of the wall, he grabbed and arrow, positioning himself in a safe place, he drew arrows in fours, shooting at the foreigners, who pulled the cannon forward to the gate.
IRETI stood still, she knew what to do, why was she doubting herself. Her eyes glowed red, her beast soul, channelled through all her body. The beads around her next and wrist illuminated with red lights. The soldiers saw her in her grand form and their spirit became high.
Ogunjimi saw something strange from the top of the wall, the foreigners were facing another battle from behind. One by one, they fell not seeing what attacked them, blood suddenly spilled from one neck and then another and another, their cannons, would suddenly lift in the air and tumble upon them.
"We've stepped on the wrong land" the commander shouted. They were not in the middle, they can't go forward or backward.
Ogunjimi ran down to meet IRETI, feeling happy.
"IRETI someone is helping us, half of them are dead" Ogunjimi said and signalled the gate be opened.
The warriors ran out, screaming with all the strength in them, they had waste to all the foreigners, leaving no survivors. The soldiers gathered their fallen and wheeled their body into the city to bury.
IRETI and Ogunjimi stood still, still trying to figure out who helped them, just then they felt a presence behind them.
"Ogunjimi" The voice called out.
They faced back only to see, who he never expected.
"Ajanaku" Ogunjimi said not knowing if he should embrace him or cast him out.

Emi and Eri stealthy came onboard the ship, they hid themselves behind barrels that stood beside the entrance of the cabin. Eri felt frustrated hearing the cry and agony of his fellow kind.
Emi knew what he was up to, and pinned him down, trying to prevent from beingseen by the guard on patrol.
"What next? " Eri asked in a whispering tone.
"Take them by surprise " Emi said and grabbed the neck of the guard that watched the barrels, pulled him down and snapped his neck.
"Throw him into the sea, let his spirit ask the sea for mercy " Emi said and threw the guard over.
Emi banged the door that lead to the cabin, he used the door to shield not for himself but Eri, one after the other, he used the door to hit the guards that tried to stop them. Eri shot his arrows, putting out the lights that illuminated the cabin.
SNAP, CRACK, SWOOSH!!! were the only sound that could be heard in the cabin. Emi hit his leg hard on the woods of the ship, cracking it to the last segment, where the slaves were.
"Free them" he said ordering Eri.
Emi ran to the dock of the ship, and felt a bullet at his back. He slowly turned back, facing him was Francis, and John.
Francis placed his gun on the head of a little boy, holding him roughly on the shoulder.
"I know you dont understand me, but am sure my actions says it all,i will kill the boy, if you don't jump off this ship" He said pointing his gun towards the sea.
Emi knew what he meant and stood still, all the thoughts running through his mind was how to stop Francis.
SWOOSH!! Francis gun fell from his grip, an arrow peircing through it. From nowhere, john felt a heavy body on him, and fell on the ground, it was the slave he had threatened to kill, two swift punches graced his face and he began to bleed.
Francis rushed at Emi, pulling him by the waist and he slammed Emi to the ground and wasted no time in punching him on the face.
AHHHH Francis screamed loudly and began rolling on the ground. "Bloody bastard"
"Master Francis, help me, this scum is going to kill me"

They never thought of resting as the horses galloped among the thick woods. Emi looked at Eri as he rode with full determination. Normal he had expected Eri to be furious at him for not telling him who his father was, but it was different, Eri still treated him as father, nothing changed in his attitude. Emi felt happy within himself and looked forward.
.
.
Francis sucesfully arrived at the shores, where they had rested their ships and at once, he ordered the slaves should be loaded onboard. He felt accomplished, 200 slaves at disposal, was no Small deal. He lit a cigarette as he monitored the activities.
.
.
Emi could hear the horning of the ships and urged the horse to run faster, stressed and out of energy, the horse tumbled throwing Emi off balance to the ground. Emi slowly stood up, he knew what was wrong with his precious horse, it has been on the run for almost a day, non stop. Eri alighted his horse and aided Emi to his feet.
"We are close" Emi said and retrieved his sword from the body of the horse. "Stay calm and wait here"
Eri held Emi's hand, helping him on his own horse, but his horse also refused to move any further.
"What kind of stupidness is this? " Eri shouted angrily.
Emi wasted no moment, he alighted and began running towards the shore, as fast as his legs could carry him.
From afar, they could see the ship already began to sail, any more moment wasted was a golden opportunity misused. He resumed running, praying the ship won't go too far, before they could catch up with it.
.
.
Francis poured wine into the cup of his comrades, celebrating the success of the plundering. Gold or slaves, either way, both were profitable, but here he had both at disposal, how jealous his other comrades who were designed to a land with less privilege would feel.
"Cheers"
.
..
Emi and Eri got to the shore, too late they sail already.
"How long can you go under water? " Emi asked Eri as they walked in the water, before they dived.
"twenty minutes" Eri replied
"Good" Emi said and dived into the sea, and Eri followed suit.
.
.
"IRETI, the white skin are back again " Ogunjimi said and immediately went out of the palace.
IRETI felt her heart skip, doubting herself, she sluggishly walked to the gate.
She stood in the front of the battle line. What were these people up to, the weapon they brought this time was different from the former, huge black long box, the mouth was oval, pushed by two hefty men, and this weapon laid on four wheels, supporting it's movement.
.
.
The commander from the opposing side, wasted no time, he raised his hand in the air, and flinged it down.
GBUUUA!! this huge box made a terrible noise, thick white fume followed as it sounded.
IRETI could see what this box contained, huge black ball.
GBAAA!! the wall of ayenireti shook, the part the huge ball had come in contact with, made a huge crack, as an inferno also replaced the ball.
"Ant formation" Ogunjimi shouted.
Ayenireti warriors, immediately formed a straight line, all of them lining up behind IRETI. She advanced forward as they also followed behind her.
"That thing, IRETI you are the only one fast enough to take it out" Ogunjimi said.
"Archers" IRETI shouted, and increased her running speed.
.
.
The sound of war, took over as they slayed one another, IRETI saw this was BEYOUND them, the only option was to retreat, this people came prepared.
"Back to the city, Retreat" IRETI shouted.

After descending the mountain, Emi found a shade tree for them to rest, at this time of the day, they were not permitted to rest, the journey ahead was still far, but the persistent question from Eri, gave him no other choice.
Emi drank a gulp of wine from the wine skin and handed it over to Eri.
"The hell Stone is a gift from your father"
"You said that like there is a deeper meaning" Eri said and sat near Emi.
"Am not your father" Emi said, remorse in his eyes, the adage was true, you can't hide a child from its father.
Emi took time to narrate, what happened to Ajanaku from the beginning, without missing any detail.
"He saved my life, and this is the gift he gave you, the hell stone" Emi finally concluded.
"I begged IRETI not to tell you, I have been having nightmare about a man telling me not to follow in his footstep, I figured the hell Stone has something to do with it" Eri said and gently placed his head on Emi's shoulder.
.
.
Francis angrily lashed the slaves that seemed to slow down their pace, he calculated well to know that, sooner these Demi god's would come for him, the only opinion left was to return to the sea on time, sell the slaves and come back fully prepared.
"Walk " he shouted from his horse, giving another heavy lash to the slave that walked near him.
"Master Francis, we have to rest, the walk is about half an hour" A British said, removing his cap, he already looked tired, their energy was nothing compared to the slaves.
.
.
Eri and Emi reached the camp where the scout had reportedly seen the whites and their slaves, only to see the place deserted. Only two tents were still intact, without much thinking, they searched each tents, but what they saw was overwhelming they almost forgot their mission.
Different thought came through Emi's mind, where do these people come from, what kind of being were they, how come they looked more advanced than them.
"Father, the tracks are still fresh, about an hour old" Eri said, peeping into the tent from outside.
"Let's go" Emi said and walked out of the tent.
.
.
Back at Ayenireti, IRETI supervised the treatment of the refugees, alongside her mother, leadership mantle now feel on her, stressed by the burden, she sighed heavily at intervals as she added herbs to wounds of the wounded refugees.
.
.
A horse approached where the whites had camped to rest, the rider impatiently jumped down from the horse and ran to where Francis sat.
"Master Francis, we have good news" He said panting heavily.
Francis mood didn't change, no news was as good as him imagining how he would acquire mansion on Queens island.
"they have sent re enforcement, with full artillery three days ago, but they went through another route" the scout gladly gave his report.
"Ayenireti o le subu(Ayenireti can Never fall) " a slave said, with confidence on his face.
"Why do I have the feeling you just said, we will not win" Francis asked facing the slave.
"Good, we return after I have sold these ones"

Emi pulled his horse behind him, as he took caution climbing through the sloppy and rugged mountain path, the suggestion he came up with was to follow the path which they were sure, the foreigners didn't know about, also the route was faster. Eri followed behind Emi
"Maybe we might know about the whereabout of the King" Eri said, striking a conversation, as the journey was becoming boring.
"Maybe, keep still, it helps to conserve energy" Emi said squarely.
Eri squeezed his face roughly, what energy does talking consume, he was the type that love keeping company lively, but Emi was the type that does not talk jovial things, when a mission was at hand.
"How does talking affects or consumes energy" Eri asked raising his hand.
Emi walked on ignoring his question.
"Father" Eri shouted, still he got no reply. "Tell me about the Hell Stone, everytime one thing or the other keeps getting on the way"
Emi still continue walking on after some minutes, he looked back and noticed Eri was no longer tagging behind.
"What's wrong? "
"Why do I have the feeling you are hiding something from me" Eri said, lowly dragging his horse behind.
"Lets rest, you have a lot to catch up on" Emi said.

Please do good by letting me know, where I am doing it wrong, your critics and corrections will be highly appreciated. Thanks...

.
Francis, threw his cigarette against the wall, his look showed he was through tough and critical thinking.
"Just Four, uncivilized people, killed nine hundred of you? "He asked looking puzzled, this piece was hard to connect together.
"Hasten the sales" he commanded and walked out of his hut.
The only problem he had was that he was short of men, the next thing was either to retreat or ask for backup, but four against nine hundred, what if they used their whole troop. Wasn't he biting more than he could chew

.

Eri sat at the foot of Emi, while Adeshewa sang as she plaited IRETI's hair, using beads to adorn her hair.
Emi gladly kept himself busy, telling Eri stories of his past.
".....You should have seen how Obatala, fought hard against Esu" Emi said, imitating fight scenes.
"Ahhhhhhhh, when do I get to see the gods " Eri asked excitedly.
"Even I for myself being a Grand god haven't come in contact with any greater god" IRETI chipped in, trying to tilt her head towards their direction.
Eri smiled wickedly and put a stone in his catapult and aimed at IRETI.
"ooouucch " She screamed loudly.
"Only I can hurt you" He said and placed another stone in the catapult and shot her again
"You are so dead" IRETI said trying to place her head still.
"Father, you haven't tell me still how I got the Hell stone" Eri said, reaching for another stone.
Adeshewa looked at Emi and faced the hair she was plaiting, but her full attention was directed at Emi. Just then Ogunjimi entered into the compound.
"Uncle" Eri shouted and shot the catapult at him.
"The Hell fighter himselt" Ogunjimi hailed Eri
"How is your wife" Eri asked taking his former position.
"Bidemi is doing good, so I have two news, the good and the bad, which one first"
"The bad one" IRETI replied.
"The bad news, Ikubiyi is seriously injured, the good news, he came back with the refugees, and no one died, both his soldiers and the refugees" Ogunjimi said
"What about Oguntomiwa? "Emi asked, standing to his feet.
"He returned also, he seeks your presence in the palace".
.
.
Emi took his seat among the council, while his children stood at his back, the meeting commenced immediately
"Oguntomiwa, speak" An elder said.
Oguntomiwa stood up, and greeted the elders before he began his words.
"Our kind has fallen victim of rape, and are being taken to unknown lands, villages like, Arinoluaye are working for the foreigners, trading other villages into slavery, even" he paused and brought out something from his bag and showed it to Emi.
Emi stared at this strange object that showed every detail of his face, he wondered within himself what it could be, this object was indeed useful, with this, he would not need to wait for still water in calabash to see his face.
"What is this? " he asked and passed it around.
"Meerrrrooowr " Oguntomiwa managed to say "and they even give more valuables to the King of Arinoluaye as gifts for his partnership"
"You have done well" Otun said and continued "we have to help this people, it's our duty"
"Otun, why do you speak like you use only one fraction of your brain" Osi shouted banging the table "we have pleas from three villages that we are alliance with to help them, and you talk about, riding a journey for three days just to save some helpless head"
"You are the one who is mad, those villages we have alliance with, are withstanding attacks, what do you think will happen, when these white finally find a way to breach our walls, before then we have to act" Otun replied and sighed heavily.

The council began to go into uproar, as some supported Otun, while others saw sense in what Osi said.
CRRANNNGGG a shattering sound came from behind Emi, drawing everyone's attention to Eri and IRETI.
"He broke it" IRETI said pointing accusing fingers at Eri.
"We are here trying to figure out matters, and what do you have to Contribute" Oguntomiwa said angrily.
"Well, Eri and Father should go for the slaves, while Uncle Jimi and I will stay in the village to defend it, a Grand god and a skill fighter, a human god and a kid hell fighter " IRETI said.
"So shall it be, we ride tomorrow at dawn " Emi said and disband the council.

Emi charged his beast soul, allowing it to flow through his hand into his sword, he had no other thinking than to slay as much as he could, before he began having human feelings for them. The Grand god, charged her beast soul into her arms as well, everything seemed so slow in her sight, even before the fight, she had dropped down more than a hundred.
"Show off" Eri said, and placed four arrows on his bow.
"Don't worry, I will protect you, dear one" IRETI replied smiling at him, as her eyes glowed red.
"On count of three" Ogunjimi said, swaying his sword from one hand to the other.
PANNNNNK!!! A bullet hit Emi's chest, and dropped to the ground.
"Cold metal" Emi said, and began to run forward, as others followed suit.

Archers already took formation at the top of the wall, as they drew their arrows with the bow string.
"Hold" The leader shouted, making sure the opponent drew closer before, he ordered them to shoot.
Emi entered into a raged killing spree, grabbing horses with minimum effort and throwing them at the white skin men, bullets shoot at him made no effect on him.
Eri rolled on the ground amidst the horses and fired his arrows, as they gladly made their way throw the hearts of his targets, he somersaulted dodging the bullets rushing at him, with great strength he fired and before a second he pulled out another set of arrows. He removed all the arrows from the quiver and laid them on the ground. Positioning himself with one knee on the ground, he picked his arrows in fours and didn't miss a target.

IRETI movement was too fast for her opponents to know her next move, with the speed of light, headless bodies dropped to the ground from their horses.
"There are too fast" One shouted from his horse, seeing how IRETI fought tiredlessly.
Ogunjimi on the other hand fought happily, bathing himself with the blood of his enemies, he pulled a soldier from the horse and smashed his head into pieces with his feet. He leaped into the air with great effort and drove his sword into the heart of another.
"Fireeee " the leader of the archers on the wall shouted the orders"
Emi, saw the arrows, and immediately leaped on Ogunjimi, covering him with his body, prevent the arrows from piercing Ogunjimi, also IRETI did the same to Eri.
"You stink" Eri muffled, trying to catch his breath beneath IRETI.
"Lay still you this pervert, you are trying to take advantage " IRETI said, as arrows bounced off her body.
"We still bath together, less you forget "
After the spree of the arrows, Emi stood up and IRETI at the same time. Before them laid countless lifeless bodies.
"There is one survivor " IRETI said charging her beast soul.
"leave him, let him tell the story" Emi said and headed towards the gate.

This foreigners already gained their spoils. Ayefele was their first target. Their weapon of destruction had no match, hence they overthrew this city easily.
"John, gather this folks around" Said Francis.
Francis had been designed to this part of the region, to overthrow it and bring people into slavery, while some villages willingly partnered with Francis to plunder other villages and sell the very best of them to the white skin men.
Francis, easily guessed to be in his late 50, he was very muscular and great in strength, he had the wisdom and tactics to bring anyone down to his knees.
As John gathered the prisoners around, he also molested the females among them, smiling wickedly, he also grinned from mouth to mouth.
"Emi ni a pa e(I will be the one to kill you)" A boy said as John rounded them up.
"Hey, what do you say? " John said and slapped the boy hardly on the face and angrily pulled out his gun from his belt.
"John, enough, we need them in exchange for the money, if business continues as good as this, I will buy a mansion in Queens Island" Francis said, and puffed smoke out from his nostrils.

Emi stood at the gate of Ayenireti ushering the refugees in, he himself handled the head count, as they trooped in.
"Emi, we won't be able to feed these people,if they continue to come in large numbers as this" Ogunjimi said, standing near Emi.
"We have no choice, you have done well in bringing this set, I got words from Ikubiyi, he is coming with his own set before noon"
"We have intruders!!!!! " The guard at the top of the wall shouted.
Emi quickly made his way outside the gate, beside him was Ogunjimi and IRETI.
About a mile from Ayenireti, thousands of horse could be seen, running furiously. This is the second time in one month, Ayenireti would be under attack, but this number was larger than the previous attack.
"How much soldiers do we have at hand" Emi asked Ogunjimi.
"Not enough to withstand for an hour" Ogunjimi said.
"Are you serious? " IRETI shouted as she pulled a girl up and handed her over to her mother.
"Where is Eri? " Emi asked.
"Talk of the devil" Ogunjimi smiled, seeing Eri run out of the city to join them with his bow and quaver at his back.

"As soon as the last person enters, close the gate, archers take position" Emi shouted the orders to the one at the top of the wall.

"For how long have you been selling them raw gold?" Emi continued his interrogation.
The Prisoner, wasted no time in giving the reply
"Two weeks"

"This gathering finds you guilty, your property shall be taken from you, you and your household shall be banished from Ayenireti, any attempt you make towards crossing over the border shall consider you a threat and you shall be put down" Emi said and signalled to the guards to take him away.

"Please Human God, there is something you need to hear" The Prisoner managed to talk.
Emi folded his right hand and raised it up, he stood firm as the prisoner continued his words.
"The cold metal is not only the deadliest weapon they posses, I don't want to die" He said weeping "Consider my family, I can work as spy for you, and report back"
Emi sighed and looked at the Chiefs and elders.
"Let the Elders decide" Emi concluded.
Otun, a bald head man, he actually looked younger than his age, as he stood up to talk, he adjusted his native cap, bending it slightly to the left. He wriggled his mouth and spoke.
"We shall put it to a vote, I personally does not want him here, those who want him should raise their hand"
The committee consisted of 8 Elders and 5 Chiefs, including Emi. After much deliberation, Emi and two other Chiefs were the only ones who raised their hands.
"Since majority carries the vote, the former decision remains" Emi said, trying to avoid eye contact with the prisoner, guilt was filled within him, without further discussion, he left the council.
.
.
Emi walked sadly into his hut, feeling frustrated, he laid on his wooden bed, thinking about what to do. Really it was a hard time for him. The King is missing, no one could be suspected, almost a year, another family is being banished, his children insist on going for their initiation hunt.
"My heart" Adeshewa called out, gently putting down the basket on her head. "Emi" She called again, and paused for a moment, before going to tap him lightly.
"Hmm" Emi was pulled out of his deep thought. "How was sales? "
"What's wrong? " She asked,and sat beside him, where he laid.

Emi could feel the strong desire of his children to begin initiation as soon as possible, but things are now different, the woods they freely toured was now a place they tried to stay away from as much as they could. The emergence of this white skin men, had changed a lot of things, slavery was now the highly paid business.
"You know you can't go into the woods these days" Emi said, placing his hands on their head.
"We are not thinking of going alone, we could have the warriors in the woods while we hunt" Eri gave out his own opinion.
"and, even the woods still lies in our territory" IRETI added.
"Alright, you can go, I will discuss it with others " Emi said, getting fed up with their zeal to do the hunting by all means.
.
.
Emi entered into the palace, taking his seat among the Circles of Elders, he glanced at the scroll passed to him for some minutes and rolled it up, all eyes were on him, this issue of revolution from the white men, has placed them into a rat hole. All they did was just going round and round in circles.
"Bring the prisoner in" Emi said, also using his hand to make gesture to the guards.

The guards wasted no time bringing the prisoner in, bound tightly, he could hardly move, they forced him on his knees before the elders.
Emi stood up and walked closer to the prisoner, his face was already swollen, he had been tortured thoroughly before he could confess to his crimes.
"What did the white skin men, give you in exchange for the raw gold you gave them? " Emi asked.
"Cold met..aalls" The prisoner said, trying not to look into Emi's eyes.
Ayenireti, never knew the usefulness of gold, then the white skin men came. Noticing Ayenireti was a rich source of gold, almost on every part of their city, they tried to conquer it. But no weapon could go against two spirit gods and a skilled warrior. So they resorted in bribery, they exchanged cold metals (gun) for huge amount of golds, but it still was not enough, like the god of greed, dwelled within them, thy still sought ways to bring down ayenireti, apart from the spirit god's they would face, the Great Wall of Ayenireti was a stumbling block on its own.

Emi watched as his two children trained vigorously, using a wooden sword to fight against themselves. For some minutes, Emi admired both of his children, he saw Eri as his own, the one he raised from an infant.
"Eri, your guide is watery, you will die in minutes, if you continue like this" Emi shouted "IRETI I know you are channelling your beast soul, to strengthen your arms".
"Father, do you have to connect to my spirit" IRETI shouted
Eri saw an opportunity and pulled her on the leg, making her fall heavily on the ground.
"Deception " Eri said and stretched his hand to pull her up.
"Father, when do we go for our hunt? " Eri asked, as he and IRETI walked up to Emi.
It was a tradition, in ayenireti, every warrior, once they hit age 18 would perform the initiation rite, which included, hunting for an animal, to test their strength, returning empty handed means, no engagement in any form of battle, odd as it seems, no warrior felt pleasure in being abandoned when others go to claim victory.

death is an inevitable circle that goes round and round, and still the circle continues. 17years has pass, Emi still continue to make Ayenireti the safest place among other kingdoms, Ajanaku on the other hand, had gone silent, no threat from him. History is now taking a very different turn especially at ayenireti. These white skin men, with pointed nose, their hairs looked glorious, except for some very few, whom nature had denied the grace of looking good, the ruled with fear, a different fear no one has seen, even their instrument of war, was a horrible sight to behold when it went into war.
Ayenireti still stood the only town that had withstood attacks from trespassers. For the grace of a Grand god, a human god, and a skilled warrior all from just one family at ayenireti.
Legends are rising, Legends that are not chosen by the gods. Even now the gods are being held onto tight corners, as tradition is gradually getting lost. Sure, it will be restored, but civilization is inevitable.
