OGINI!!!!!!!
GOD OF WATER, TURN OFF YOUR RAGE FROM US
BLESS THE WOMB OF OUR WIVES AND GUIDE OUR CHILDREN TO LISTEN TO THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
OGINI THE MOST POWERFUL
They crowd hailed and bowed them...

Ogini, your servants have come, answer their prayers..... "Danasiri intoned and quickly turn to face the crowd....

With only a white clothe tied to their waist. And a red scarf... Shirtless. King Dafuda and his two sons carried a calabash filled with blood of animals... Each carrying his own calabash and walking slowly taking one step at a time.....

The centre of the field was made as an altar, it was laced with scary images representating Ogini each stained with blood... At the middle of it were pile of woods tinge with a fierce blazing fire...plumes of black grey smoke, wound itself around the post like a great hungry serpent, devoured everything in it's path, choking clouds of noxious smoke, inferno, blazing, out of control, ash floating to the ground like great dirty flakes of snow, showering onto everything, sprinkling onto the ground....thick gray smoke billowing into the skies. The once pale blue sky was now shielded by a veil of darkness as the smoke swallows up the whole sky.......

With the blood in the calabash in their hands. They walk slowly making their way to the altar....
Vuga could the feel fierce ignition of the fire pricking his skin, the thought of his sister ran into his head, today was the last day King Jafar has giving his father.. His inner mind tells him he shouldn't be doing this.... He wasn't even concentrating, with his sister so far away...
He shook with fear when he saw Danasiri eyes... She was different today... She was scary... Devilish.... Before now no body could look into her eyes but today was a pass day.. It was the blood festival.....

His hands shook, almost at the verge of falling the calabash from the hands... He took a deep breathe and maintain his balance........

It was believed that on this day Ogini will descend from wherever she is and come to the aid of her servants... He has heard stories about the last blood festival, some people claimed they saw ogini why others say ogini never came....

His eyes rolled to the crowd... It was compulsery that everyone must be out here in the field and worship ogini.. The sick... The crippled... The deaf.. The blind will gather on this day to receive their healing when ogini shall descend.... All knees were down, the smoke from the fire hovering above their heads...



*****************************
Katherine watch from the window as fire exploded into the blackness, the flame rolling outwards like the smoke of a mushroom cloud....with tears in her eyes she crouched down to the ground wailing and wishing she was home. Was with her family...

She just sat down dominated by a profound sadness, fatigue engraved on her worn face,she clenched her shivering fingers together, The sorrow grew more profound each time she spent in the quiet, lonely room, the solemn walls reviving the memory of the people she was missing, No longer could she see that inquisitiveness, that desire, that fire in her eyes. All that remained was the deceiving hollow soul that reflected in her tear-stained glasssy eyes, the marks leaving no room to see her true self anymore.....



*******************************
The sounds of the drums played outside echoes in their ears,Levi grunts and crunt at every opportunity.... He scoffs when the thought of dying creep into his head... He look at Francis who fixated his gaze elsewhere... Then he turn his eyes to the girl in front of him.. He has try to aviod her gaze but he couldn't.. They are stuck in the prison together condemned to death... He knit his brows when she smiled at him.. Wondering why she was smiling... He watched as she stood up..... Walking to towards the lock of the bars... "What are you doing? He was forced to ask...

She look around.. Whole place was quiet... The only noise that was heard was the sound of the drums outside and the cheering and shouting of the crowd..... Without hesitation, she brought out a carved tiny wood from her hair...the sharp edge of it almost like a needle.....

"What are you doing....? Levi ask again arousing Francis attention....

"What.. ?,Do you think am going to wait till nightfalls before i get out of here.. We will be probably be used for sacrifice when night comes.. Now it's the perfect opportunity... There are no guards.. ...."She said and prick the sharp key carved end of the tiny wood into the lock... She turned it... Gave it a second try and the gate flung open.

"How did you do that...? Levi ask

She gave him a wry smile... "If you want to be a thief, at least be a smart one.. So are you two coming or not.... ?

Both boys didn't waste anytime before following her



****************************
As Katherine cried, her bottom lip quivered, the same as a baby pushed past endurance. Her eyes became glacier blue under the sheen of water, constant, yet allowing the tears to flow without pause. In that moment, in seeing her own reflection she understood the depth of pain that had been sitting below her skin.....

She quivered in her spines when a knock came on the door.... Then it opened....
She shivered when she saw a young girl.... She quickly stood up.... "Who are you...?

The girl went closer to her. "You need to leave right now....."

"I don't understand, why are you helping me?

"My brother is the reason you are here, you saved my mother when you were captured here.. Consider this as payment to the debt... ..."

"Your brother..... "She drag her eyebrows closer trying to remember.... "Your brother was that little boy.... ?

"Yes... Am Leticia his older sister, there is really no need to explain you need to leave now..... "She said grabbing her hand,leading her outside.....

"What about you...?

"Don't worry about Me, i can take care of myself.... "

"My friends, i can't leave without my friends.... "

"There is no time, the guards will soon be here.. You must leave now.. "

"No..i can't, am the reason they are here... "

Leticia took a deep breathe.... "Okay fine,do you know where they are....?

"Probably in a prison...please help me find them... "




**************************
"Do you even know where we are going "Levi quickly ask when they were few pace away from the prison....

"I don't know but we have to find our way out... "Pandora blared out..

"Am not leaving yet... "Francis interjects with doleful eyes....

"What.. Why?

"I can't leave without her.. I need to find the princess.... "

Pandora gritted.... "Do you realise this is your only chance... It's now or never.... "

Francis swallowed.... "I know but i can't.. Am not leaving without her... "

"Save yourself Francis, her father will save her.... "Levi blasted out

"I can't wait for her father to save her... Am not leaving here without her... Please help me find her... "

Pandora glance at Levi....

Levi insutilate...... "You're on your own this time Francis, i have a second chance to live, i won't let you ruin it with your petty love....am sorry but i can't help you.... "

"Francis"Katherine shouted from behind them....
With pants breathe... She ran towards him.....

Francis just stood with pounding heart as she wrap her hands around him.....

"We need to go now"Leticia said... "There is a secret tunnel a few walks ahead of us"

Francis was inclined to ask who she was but he was just too glad to see Katherine... his whole body shook like an electric shock at the warmth feeling of her embrace...

Without hesitation they followed her as she led the way....

It wasn't long before they got there.. She opened the door...... "Just follow the tunnel, it will lead you outside the palace... Start running the moment you are out..... "

Fear grip Levi as he stare inside.. Inside was dark....

"Are you sure this tunnel is safe...... ?Pandora ask curiously...

"I don't know, but it's your only way out... "She said giving them two firelight.....

"Why can't we just follow the gate.... ?Levi blared out...

"You can't follow the gate, the guards are there.. "

"I thoughts all the guards are supposed to gather in one room.... "Francis said..

"That's the most stupid thing i have heard..... "Leticia scurred...

Francis glance at Pandora..

"That's what i thought... "She replied with a shrugged...

"You need to get going.. The guards will soon be in position.... "

"Why aren't you coming with us.....? Katherine ask again...

"I have unfinished business here... Now go.. "

She thanked her...hesitated a bit before walking into the dark tunnel.... Francis followed and gave one of the firelamp to her.....

Pandora grunts then followed....

"Why are you helping us....? Levi ask her skeptical of the idea...

"Ask the princess, now go in...... "

He took a deep breathe.. Take one last glance at her.. Then he walked in...

Without hesitation.... Leticia closed the door



***************************
With fear ripping through their spines they walk on the small path of the tunnel....

Levi's heart skipped when he stumbled his foot on something... He lost his balance... Almost at the verge of falling he hold the wall to support himself.....

"Are you okay....? Pandora ask drawing everyone's attention....

Levi swallowed... His body shivering.. Fear licking through him....
He took a deep drag and gently removed his hand from the wall... He quivered when he felt something crumbling on his palm....
He quickly spuned his palm.... His heart raced to a stop when he saw it....
"Spider.... "He shouted....
A foreboding fright overwhelmed him when he saw the cobweb sniffled in his hands....

"Levi.... "Pandora shouted when she noticed the spider were everywhere around them.... "Run"She blasted out

Without hesitation... The four of them mounted their feet and begin to run forward following the dark road of the tunnel....using the firelight to see

Pandora stumbled on something.. She lost her balance and fell to the ground...

"Pandora...."Levi called out rushing to her...

The remaining two stopped and walk close to them....

Pandora sneer as she try to stand up...

A total oblivon of revulsion engulfed them when they saw what was on the floor... And what she has fallen on...

"Bones.... "Katherine muttered with shaking mouth

Pandora quickly stood up at the mention of bones.... She look at the place she has fell in... Trepidation lick through her spines when she saw the remains of a human.. The bones and skull on different place...
They just stood shivering......

Francis lean forward.....he bug his eyes when he saw a worn out dagger and a rusty water can, then his gaze went to the carvings on the wall..... "What are these.....? He muttered as he panned the firelamp on it.....

"Those are ancient carvings.... "Pandora muttered with shaking mouth...

Francis look at the bones, then he saw a worn out bag and clothes, part of it shred to pieces..... He swallowed.. Fear griping him.... "Could it be someone has tried to escape through this tunnel before ?he ask anxiously

"I think so"Katherine replied with trembling mouth pointing at the bones... The skull...

Levi heart skip.. He couldn't breathe.. Couldnt move, he just stood staring at the bones.. The skull, the markings on the wall... The dagger,bag and clothes torn to pieces...... "That girl led us here to die"

Katherine look around.. Her heart bursting out of her chest... She saw other markings again on another side of the wall.. Markings made by claws..... "There is something here. Something evil"

EPISODE 133


HER WORDS SENT COLD CHILLS DOWN LEVI'S SPINE..., he couldn't believe it, are they really going to die here....

"We need to get out of this place.... "Pandora said with trembling mouth.

Francis quickly pick the dagger,with one of the firelamp in his hand he led the way.....

With throbbing heart they walk close to each other, each looking back at the sound of anything they step their foot on...

"Leticia said, we will find our way out at the end of the tunnel"Katherine said holding the firelight tightly...

They increase their pace looking back to make sure everyone was in line

"Why is the tunnel so long? Levi ask faintly.. Fear overwhelming him....

No one replied him, they just continue moving forward...

"Ouch... "Pandora sneer when she hit her foot against a stone....

Everyone turn their attention to her.....
"Are you okay..? Levi quickly ask

She nodded.

With a sigh of relief, they made her move forward.. Closer to Francis and Katherine took her place as the third person....

They continue moving forward bursting through cobwebs that seem to be the dorminant thing in the tunnel.....

"I can see it... "Francis shouted with enthusiasm in his voice... "I can see the door.. "He added and quickly run towards it....
The rest followed.... Joy overcloud them..

Francis found the bolt, he immediately grab it and tried to open it but it was too stiff..
Katherine quickly drop her firelamp and began to help him..
They tried to pull it down but it didn't open....
Levi and Pandora quickly join fixing their hands on any space they could find.....

After much effort, the rusty iron bolt pulled down....
Then they drag the door open......

"We are out"Levi shouted with joy...

They didn't waste time before they rushed out, leaving the firelamp burning there...

They close the door when they were finally outside...
They look around... The whole place was bush....
Without hesitation they began to tossed the long grasses aside.. Paving their way through the bush...

Francis suck his teeth when he saw an open space.... They quickly head towards that direction....

Fear grip Levi when he thought of the dangerous things that could be in the bush... Snakes....

Gnashing down the long grasses, they pave their way forward to the open space....
A foreboding abhorrence prick their spines, sending tremor to their very soul......

With trembling mouth Pandora muttered.... "Oh no.... "

Heart racing rapidly, they stare at the pile of bones, skulls on the open space... Some heads hung on a pike.....

"Is this a burial ground?Levi ask

"This doesn't look like a burial ground... "Katherine replied.... Trepidation in her voice.... "This bodies are thrown here to decay...

Pandora sniff as she catch a breathe of the odour of the place....
Flies feast still feasting on the bodies.....

"Do you think that body we saw inside was one of this people? Levi ask curiously....

Katherine sniff. Fight hard to hold her breathe from inhaling the bad scent protruding from the corspes... "I think the person we found inside that place must have escaped..... "

"But he still died, his bones were scattered..... "Pandora blared out....

"There is only two explanation... Whoever or whatever did this to these people went in with him or something else was in that tunnel... Whichever i don't think we want to find out... "said Francis

"We have to keep going..... "He added...
He led the way passing another corner the bones didn't extend to...
The rest quickly followed......



***************************
King Dafuda and his two sons sat at another end a few pace from the fire... They watch as Danasiri chant words.....
No-one knew what she was saying.. It was believed that when a priestess of ogini say words nobody understands, it shows she is conversing with ogini.....

Vuga swallowed hard, the smoke of the fire reddened his eyes.. He was tired, exhausted... But there is no way he could tell his father nor his brother what he was feeling...

His eyes wandered around... On a far end of the fire stood the ministers, each with a line drew with blood on their forehead....

He look at the crowd, each of them expecting something in return after the worship....
He insutilate.... His stomach rumbling and ranting...
The thought of Katherine creep into his head... He wonder how she was doing... His father was yet to make a decision and it surprises him... Before now he'd always thought, Katherine was his favorite but it was obvious the goldmine was more important to him than any of his children....

He made a faint smile that disappeared within seconds when he thought of Francis.... He wasn't even sure if Francis really went to rescue his sister...
He stare at his father... Hands jammed together... Offering silent prayers to ogini probably to rescue his sister from Jafar....

He fixated his gaze again on Danasiri..... His eyes drool on the little girls who started dancing around the images representing ogini....
The three girls tied animal skin cloth round their waist... Their hairs tangled together......

Vuga wonder what the dancing was all about.....
He bug his eyes when the drums begin to sound... First it was slow.. Then the drummers began to beat fast.....
The atmosphere was intense.... The smoke blackened the cloud.... Then the crowd began to shout ogini.....
They shouted at the top of their voice as the drumbeat increases......

A bit scared he watch as five hefty men dragged out a mighty bull.... Surprised on why the bull didn't react... He continued watching to see what happens.....
He bug his eyes as Danasiri took out a sword and crouched beside the bull....

The bull been obedient didn't do anything and it really surprised him..., then he realise Danasiri was the priestess... With her anything is possible.....

He watch with curiosity as Danasiri slit the throat of the bull.... The men hold a big bowl underneath so the blood gushing out from the bull can pour into the bowl..
As the drumbeats increase... The crowd wailing and cheering increase.... some people in the crowd ran out and started dancing.......
The bowl was handed to Danasiri who raised it up.... Just then the bull crunched to the ground sending dust around...

"Gary.... "

His father's voice interrupted him.... Both him and Gary quickly turn to face their father whose hands were still jammed...

"Father.... "Gary muttered...

For a moment they just sat waiting for their father to speak up....

"Take a guard.... "King Dafuda begin.... "Tell him to send a message to Jafar... Tell him am ready.... "He pause... Took a deep breathe... "Tell him am ready to give him what he wants... The goldmine in exchange for my daughter "

Shock swept through Vuga... A part of him was happy while the other part wondered what changed his father's mind...

"Yes Father.... "Gary replied... Muttered a silent prayer then stood up and left them...

Vuga watch as his father lour his head, just then he realise it was a hard decision to make... The goldmine has been thier source of income for years... The goldmine was the reason why other villages envy them breaching down to the lord in the capital... And that's why King Jafar wanted it.....



****************************
AKPATU

With a stare at the mansion, Odumodu drank the remaining wine in the glass... He drop the glass and continue wandering his eyes around..... The house was a beauty compared to his.... He remembered what Mayo has told him... Ferico Carter murdered an entire family to get his wealth.....

"Chief Odu.... "Pious boom out from the staircase

Odumodu chulkled.... "Odumodu.... "he corrected..

"Am really sorry again, hope you aren't bothered by my way of elocution.... "Pious said as he finally step down from the stair...

"Am not... The way i even see it, Odu is more preferable especially when it is called by a woman with the good things of life.... "

"The ravishing hot spunky ones with killer sides and back.... "Pious intoned...

They giggled and shake hands....

"Hope you are enjoying the wine.... I heard it's the best they could get from here"Pious added sitting opposite him...

"I couldn't enjoy less... "

"So to what do i owe this visit... You know i wasnt expecting us to see so soon after our meeting hours ago... "Pious said with crossed legs..

Odumodu felt abashed.... Then he force a smile on his lips... "Actually, is about what you told me... Expanding my hotel so patronizers from all over can come... "

"So have you thought about it...?

"Yes i have.. And i think is a good idea... It will bring more money to me and my family...."

"Of course Chief Odu.... Money is an asset you tend to have every minute if we do this.... "

Odumodu smile.... "Am game, when do we start.... "

Pious scoffs.... "We start now... We are in business but before that, you need to sign some documents... My men shall draw the paperwork...."

"Can't we sign them now....? Odumodu ask...

Pious made a faint smile... "I will place a call to Mr Wash, the white man who will be responsible for the annocer memo.. As soon as my men are through with the paperwork they will bring it to you.. Tomorrow to be precise, will tomorrow be okay...?

"Tomorrow will be fine by me..."Odumodu replied...

"You are doing a great thing Chief Odu.. You will be great than the rest of the chiefs soon enough... Am going to make you the next top billionaire.... "

Odumodu beem with smile.... "I know that Carter..there is a saying,the race of becoming a millionaire starts with a step.. I have taken that step today....

"And it's a bold step chief odu.... "Pious interjects..."Welcome to my world.. "



****************************
Zuru watched in the camera until Odumodu has driven out, then they rushed to the sitting room to meet Pious...

Pious reclined his back on the chair....

"What is this Pious.... "Zuru blared out the moment they reach him...

"You are expanding his hotel... Is this part of your plan... ?Kahefa queried

"What are you doing baby...? Giselle ask

Pious couldn't help it but smile....

"This isn't a joke Pious, what are you doing....? Zuru resounded....

"Relax uncle.... "Pious interjects.... "Am not expanding anything.... As a matter of fact am taking it.... "

"What..? They ask in unison...

"What do you mean you are taking it.... ?

Pious scoffs... "What did you think uncle, that i will help build up the man who joined in killing my father... Tomorrow when he signs those documents... He will be signing the hotel over to me. Tomorrow henceforth... The new owner of that hotel will be me... Am taking it just the way am going to take everything they own and damned them to hell"
