Chapter fourteen

Deolu had left Oyo and traveled to ibiru, he knew Maku would never be at Usi, Maku would go to a low place where no one knows him.
When he got to ibiru, he couldn't find Maku there, so he is now on his way to Aro with ten of his personal warriors.

He had heard a lot about Aro, their hatred for oyos, their proud King, their proud spirit and their history of self reliance. He had never been at Aro before but he knows a lot about them,his search for Maku may not be easy,but he had to,but whatever he does he must not steer up trouble, it could endanger his life and the life of his brother, Maku.

Deolu does not believe in strength and violence, he believes in diplomatic wits,his wisdom is his greatest asset,Deolu is very clever,everyone knows that,he is not too good looking, but every maidens always wants him. Deolu is talented in art,dancing, chanting, poetry and playing of fere( flute).

Wherever he goes to,people fall in love with him,both men and women,old and young.
but these land he is going to,no one knows him there and he had to keep his identity as a royal Prince a secret.

They came off the canoe and observe this side of the stream, it was beautiful,Deolu could make a poem about the stream right now, but his literary wit his not active for now,he is very nervous, it is just early morning and they could hear voices of maidens approaching the stream to get water.

The news of the fall of usije and usialo had spread to all Usi land. They had received the news with anger and pity,but they don't know the perpetrators, they suspect it was an Aro attack, but there was no evidence, they had send messages to Oyo to inform Ari that one two of his protectorate villages had been attacked.

The usis are waiting for Ari's reply, they had visited usije and usialo, they could see the ruin, the burnt hurts,they could see,bloated corpse that had swollen out of their shallow graves,their was a rotten odour,the whole place smelt of death and decay.

The three Usi villages had made an alliance, an alliance that produced three thousand warriors,they would revenge on any land that had done these to usije and Usialo.

patience, bro

Maku sat on a bamboo bench,he was waiting for Arore to be through with her bath. She always bath for a long time, and it always get him impatient. she had told him that she would go to the palm wine tapper to get two large calabash of wine,and he had responded that he would go with her.

Legun was sitting adjacent Maku, he was drinking.

Maku: Arore, come out this minute or I come meet you in the bathroom now( he shouted for her to hear).

Arore: it is a forbidden thing in our land, don't dare it( she shouted back).

Maku: you know what I can do, if I stand up now,no turning back, I will make sure I wash you myself( he laughed)

Arore: come

Maku: you said?

Arore: come

He stood up and rushed to the bathroom, he lifted the palm leave and jumped inside,he could see the large bathing pot and the little calabash basin, but he couldn't see Arore.

Maku: ( confused) where are you?


Arore: here( Maku turn around but there was no body)

Maku: ( getting scared) stop that play and come out now.

Arore: are you afraid ( Maku turn around and saw her, she was naked and dripping with water, her body was making him go leery) am I strange ( she was serious)

Maku;( he tried to suckle her breast,but she pushed his mouth away) okay! okay, honestly, you are strange, but to me you are pleasantly strange, I mean, look at your ( he cupped her breast and suckle it as Arore laughed and pushed him away).

Arore: so you like me because of my breast?

Maku: ( trying to reach for her breast again) everything, I like everything about you, now please let me play with this thing ( he resume suckling her,but Arore didn't try to push him away, she started moaning, then she will stop and talk and moan again).

Arore: Maku

Maku: hmmm( his mouth his filled with her breast)

Arore: do you know I enchanted you?

Maku: hmmm( he had dragged her closer,squeezing her bums as he suckle her breast).

Arore: ( she pushed him away) I am serious, I enchanted you.

Maku frustrated) oooooooh, you are just killing my mood,I know, I know,what do you want to ask again?.

Arore: do you know I tried to kill you?.

Maku: when?

Arore: at the stream, it was legun who saved you ( he seem to calm now,he had become sober).

Maku: but why, why did you want to kill me? have I offended you before?

Arore tears had gathered in her eyes) I am afraid that I would love you and I must not,Maku I am assigned to punish you,the great goddess sent me to punish you( she knelt down,sobbing)but I can't, I tried, but I can't, Maku I love you, but this love is dangerous, I had freed you from my enchantment long ago,thinking you would leave me,but here you are( she shook her head as tears roll down her cheeks) our love can't last,sorrow would be the outcome of our love,Maku go your way,let me go mine,go back to Oyo, your father wants you,you must go( Maku rose her up and hugged her as tears flowed down his nose).

Maku: ( he choked with tears) am ready to do anything for our love Arore, I would not leave you,I swear I won't, whatever would be the outcome of our love,I am ready for it( he adjusted her and stared into her eyes) I am ready to risk this love,are you ready too?

Arore: ( she cried out loud as she hugged Maku tight, Maku cried too,and for once in his mind, he begged the great goddess to forgive him and bless their love).

Deolu and his men split themselves into five groups, they had entered into Aro village, searching for Maku, they had their tribal marks,wearing an head scarf that covered their cheeks,they had decided to return to the stream by night.

The cloud is dark,the breeze is violently blowing, bending trees left and right as they made mournful sounds like the oro deity, goats are running helter skelter, bleating as they ran,it is about to rain.

Deolu was with three of his men,the others are somewhere else looking for Maku. Deolu is looking for a hut that they can use to shelter till the rain would stop.

Deolu: there is a hut there ( he pointed) let go ask for shelter( they rushed towards the hut with his men)

Deolu: good evening to the gentle dwellers of this hut( there was no response, perhaps the noise of the rain had drown his voice, he was about to greet louder when a tall,strong looking young man came out).

Oyeku: good evening to you too,hope it is peace?

Deolu: good evening Sir, we are travelers, we are passing through this land,and it is about to rain, would you be merciful and allow us take shelter in your hut,till the rain stops,then we would leave.

Oyeku observed them well,they are indeed strangers,but he would not keep them outside to the mercy of rain and cold.

Oyeku: come inside ( he stepped aside,so that they could enter).

Deolu & men: thank you Sir( they entered).

The interior of the hut was very wide and spacious, it smells of herbs,and grains,and the heat from the earthen stove warm the atmosphere.
They sat on a long bench observing the hut,they could see, broken calabash at a corner, the hut roof is darken with smoke, high on the roof are hung smoked corn and antelope skin.
From his intuition, Deolu knew the occupants of the hut are hunters or warriors. Deolu could see Oyeku, sitting his back against the wall observing the the strangers.
Deolu is getting uncomfortable with the silence, so he decided to spice the room.

Deolu: would you mind if sing,I won't sing too loud, but I know you will enjoy it ( he ask oyeku, Oyeku was silent for a moment then he nodded).
thank you,Sir, this song is dedicated to you and your love,please do listen and enjoy( he cleared his throat and started):

season by season
time by time
Ogun sought for the love of oya
please don't kill his love
Ogun borrowed cowries from olokun
He borrowed yams from orisa oko
just to win her love
please don't kill his love
Ori made him fortunate
oya became his woman
Ogun loved her till he made her pound
yam on his head
please don't kill his love
Their love continued
Till Arabambi showed up
The love stealing son of oranmiyan
please don't kill his love
Shango stole his bride
and kill his love
while Ogun was gone hunting
please don't kill his love
Ogun came back
but oya was gone
Ogun searched for his love.
please don't kill his love
till he got to the palace of the alaafin
behold oya at the arms of shango of Oyo
Ogun wept
please don't kill his love
Ogun should have made wealth like
shango
he should have thicken his manhood
like olukoso
He should have made love to
oya
till she forgets the road to her fathers house
maybe oya would have stayed.

He finished the song with a smile. Oyeku was impressed, the song was an advice,a warning, and the melody was hypnotising, he wished the song to continue, he want to hear the part,where shango would be punished for stealing Ogun love.

Two weeks later


Maku slept on his mat,he had been exhausted after today's activities, his normal daily routine is to wake up,head to Arore's hut, help her with her sales, then they would head to his own hut at night, there they would make love passionately.

And immediately, Arore would return back to her own hut that same night. He had thought of marrying her,but right now,he could not afford her bride price. He had acquired a pieces of land, where he had started farming, he would wait till harvest and from the fruit of harvest, he would pay her bride price.

Before he slept this night, he had thought about his father,Ari. He knew his father had missed him and would want to see him,but he just couldn't even thought of living Aro, this place suits him,he hates the boring life of the palace, he only have fun by making love to maidens all around.

But here in Aro, he was free,and he had Arore beside him,with Arore, he had everything he needs. He had saw his brother Deolu last week he was very surprised and happy to see him,Deolu had delivered the message of his father to him,but Maku had refused to come home.

Deolu pleaded for him to come but he refused,he had told Deolu to tell his father that when it is time, he would show himself.
Deolu had went back to Oyo feeling bad and disappointed,now,he had missed his father too.

He knew his father loved him,his father had made him his favorite son,he knew he is not worthy of it,but he doesn't know why,his father specially loves him,the only person he knew that his father loved more than him is Irawo.

Tonight,after Arore left his hut,he felt lonely, ogbo and legun were outside, given them privacy, but right now,he can't find both of them, the hut was very quiet, he tried to sleep but he can't,he wasn't feeling sleepy at all.

But he had to sleep now, he had a lot to do on his farm tomorrow, so he had to sleep well and refresh. So he closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
Just as sleep was taking him gradually, he saw a shadow crawling towards him,where he lie, he thought it was his eyes deceiving him,but no,it was real,someone had entered his hut,he tried to stand up,but someone pounced on him,and pin him down,from the little light he could figure the shape, it was ogbo, he couldn't believe the reality.

He could see ogbo raise his hands up holding a dagger,and brought it down,Maku reflexively hold the dagger by the blade, he winced in pain as the blade cut into his palm,he could see as ogbo tried to withdraw the knife from him.


Maku: ogbo what are you doing?( he was in pains as the dagger ran deeper into his flesh) why do you want to kill me?

ogbo: ( struggling to withdraw the knife) shut up and die silently you fool

Maku: ( he screamed) legun! legun! help me,come now( he is growing weak gradually as he bled).

ogbo: ( he laughed) scream as loud as you can,that fool is at the stream now fishing for you,no one would help you now( with great strength he withdrew the dagger cutting Maku deeper,then with great effort he drove the dagger into his navel, he removed the dagger as Maku shook and drove it in again, this time,he squeezed the dagger in his navel with all the wickedness he could summon,he could hear Maku gasping for breath as he tried to remove the dagger, but his hands were weak now,he could feel his strength melting away,his world became dark and then he gave up.

That’s a twist... I thought it’s oyeku that will get to kill him. This is coming from the prophesy the ifa priest gave then.. well done sir

as much as the present generations and civilization tends to deny the fact of the presence of gods and goddesses they are so real and also so powerful it's only the grace of God that can deliver one from their clutches. the river goddess have brought her judgement upon Maku despite Arore's failure for which she will still be punished. moreso Ogbo doesn't deserve the love which Maku has showered on him in the past. yes he did the bidding of the goddess, he isn't the only one that Maku referred to as a slave, Legun was also there and didn't think twice before forgiving Maku. Ogbo was a ready tool for use by the goddess because he's a wicked and callous human being

Maku can rest now, but ogbo is truely wicked indeed. But why didn't legun dealt with him as he vowed too? This gods/goddesses do not forgive what so ever if u fall from their grace... More inspiration Op

Wow wow the story as just begun

Sweetheart, u dont have to quote the whole text just to comment ok... Ann2012, come and grace us here with ur presence.

[quote author=Lakesc post=97699010][/quote]
Lol. I'm just used to that stuff

This is the first tradition and ancient story I would ever read and love.... It keeps getting interesting

Legun could not stop running,why was he so foolish to leave ogbo alone with his Majesty, he prayed his Majesty is alright, he leaps as he ran,ogbo is a risk, he should have remember this.

Ogbo had told him that his Majesty had ordered both of them to go fish, that his Majesty is hungry, ogbo had quickly left for the stream after saying this, Legun could have go confirmed this,but the fact that ogbo had left for the stream made him believe that his Majesty actually sent him.

He had hurried to the stream too,but on getting to the stream, he couldn't find ogbo, he searched everywhere, but he wasn't at the stream, that was when it dawn on him that his Majesty is in trouble, ogbo is up to something.

Maku's hut is now in sight, he ran fast and entered the dark hut,everywhere was dark,but he knew where Maku usually lies.

legun:my lord! my lord! are you alright ( he bent down and tried to find Maku with his fingers, he could feel is with,it was cold) Maku! ( he whispered) Maku!,( he stood up and look for the lamp and lit it as he hurried to the direction of Maku, he could see him now,his mouth was wide upon as his hand rested on his bloody abdomen,blood was everywhere, he could see his own legs, he had stepped on Maku warm blood).

Legun knelt down slowly as he crawled towards the body,he felt weak, he felt deep sorrow, he couldn't believe the reality,he couldn't believe the strong and vibrant Maku, could look so helpless and fragile.

He wailed as he clung unto Maku, shouting his name as he hit chest,he could feel Maku sigh,he is alive, he is not dead.

legun: ( he shook Maku's head) Maku, are you there, wake up,your father wants you, don't die( he burst into tears) who would help me now?, who did I know in this land?, somebody help,help me wake Maku ( he shouted) Maku wake up.

He quickly thought about Arore, yes, Arore, he would take him to Arore, she may be able to do something, he lifted Maku cold body and rested him on his shoulder as he gently pass him through the door and hurried off to Arore's hut.

Ogbo had cross the great stream, he had done it,he had made Maku pay, in his next life,he would watch how he talks to people, now he had to hurry to Oyo, he had a big plan,he is successful with his first plan, is other plan is to go to Oyo and declare Maku dead.

He parted the thick shrubs as he hurried through the bush,he is taking the shortest route to Oyo, he will inform Ari of his son's death, how he tried to save him but Aro people killed him brutally, how Aro people spared him to delivered the message to Ari,
how the Aros had attacked Usi with impunity and wiped out usije and usialo,how they had boasted that Oyo lives in old glory and cannot proof it to them.

He was happy with his plan, if he successfully, delivers the message to Ari, Aro is doomed,the fate of the Aros will be likened to the ejembas, Aro would be wiped out,and amidst the chaos and anarchy he would capture chilo as a slave and take her as his concubine.

The thought warm his heart,if he can kill his own master, there is nothing he can't achieve again, he would surely get chilo,he would make her watch Oyeku die, and he would made sure chilo end up in his bed.

He had got to Oyo border,it was night but he could see the farmlands, he could see the dump sites,he laughed and rested his buttocks on a fallen tree," Ari, I got a good news for you ", he said with a wicked smile.

Legun knocked heavily for Arore to hear her,he was impatient, Maku is dying.

legun: ( knocking) Arore please come out,there is trouble( he adjusted Maku who still lay helpless on his shoulder) Arore Maku is dying!( he shouted, as Arore mother came out).

mother: ( afraid) what trouble?, what happen? hope Arore didn't cause any trouble ( Arore came out behind her).

Arore: ( she had sighted Maku on Legun's shoulder, she rushed to him and they brought him down gently) Ori mi o! what happen ( Legun turned Maku over) yeeeeh! who did this? who did this?( she faced Legun and hold his skirt).

legun: ( in tears) it was ogbo,he deceived me away and kill his Majesty.

Arore: ( she hugged Maku's lifeless body) I told you,but you would not listen, our love is forbidden, we can't last long ( she shook her head bitterly as tears danced down her cheeks) oh,Maku, Maaaaaku!( she wept bitterly as her mother tried to comfort her).

legun: please do something, save him,I believe you can save him( he hold her legs) please I beg you with the god you serve,I beg you with your mother standing here, please save Maku, he mustn't die, he mustn't die( he burst into tears).

Arore knew at that very moment,that she is the only hope of Maku survival, if she delayed in taking steps, Maku would be lost for ever,right now she had to bind his soul from leaving his body.

Arore: wait for me( she hurried inside and came back with a long black cloth) help me hold him straight ( Legun hold Maku as Arore wrapped him tightly with the black cloth as she muttered incantations to delay death)

iku was sent to orunmila
by the three witches
of the three cult of
white, red and black
orunmila ask iku
and said," who sent you to kill me
with incomplete outfit"
iku said " the three sister's of
red, black and white ",
orunmila told iku
" you lied,where is the proof? ",
iku replied and showed him his outfits
of red and white
but he couldn't find the black
because orunmila had hid it
" go away now", orunmila told him
and come back when your outfit
is complete ", only then can you take my life.


Arore repeated the incantations until she finished wrapping him,from his head to his feet, it was done,his spirit is bounded to his body,he won't die now, but they have to be very fast,death cannot be deceived for long.

Arore she faced her mother) iya,go sleep, I want to reach somewhere now with Legun( she faced Legun, )please help me get him up, we have somewhere to go now.

legun carried Maku's body and followed Arore as she hurried away into the darkness, he could hear dogs barking and howling mournfully, he prays that Maku would live, because if he doesn't, there is no reason for him to live again, he would kill himself, but before then he will make sure, he search for ogbo and kill him brutally, he swear that he would.

patience bro,I will drop One tonight

Oyeku had find it very difficult to face chilo since the last romantic incidence that happened sometimes ago. He felt small and boyish,he felt like a kid. Many times he had blamed himself for not just making love to her that night and prove to her that she is a man.
Now, he understood that been a man means stepping beyond the boundaries of boyhood, and innocency,but these two things he cherished, he enjoyed been a boy, cut off from sexual and maturity demanding affairs.

What made the matter worst was the ironical mockery that he always get from chilo,as if she is mocking his manhood, it pains him,he knew himself and his sexual capacity, he knew he could make love to her,but he wants to do it at the right time.

He remembered the love song by Deolu, of how,Ogun lost oya love to the sexually buoyant shango,he likened it to his current situation, what about if chilo stop loving him because he couldn't make her feel like a woman.

He need to talk to baba, baba would be able to give him a sound advice from his own experience. It was in the morning,he had done all the necessary chores,he waited for baba to be less busy then he would present the topic to him.

Oyeku: I tried to keep her honor,that is all,I am not impotent.

Ayeni: ( he laughed) are you sure?, because I don't understand, how will a young maiden present herself to you to enjoy, but you would refuse the offer,for sure you are impotent.

Oyeku: ( frowning) baba why do you talk like this?, you taught me to stay away from girls until the right time, but here you are telling me to take chances.

Ayeni: ( he became serious) when she touched you,did you feel shock?,did you feel heat,did you feel head go zigzag, do you hear you stomach growl, did your organ rebelled and rise?.

Oyeku: yes, of course, and that was why I am afraid.

Ayeni: ( he leaned his back on the wall) Then you are a man now, and it time to get you a wife.

Oyeku: but,do you doubt my potency before?.

Ayeni: you are a good boy Oyeku, may the gods reward your piety,the time and period of youth is a period when you have great desires,and when you refuse to satisfy it,you feel bad and strange.

Therefore, let youths find themselves companions quickly in the right way, and let them express their passion only in love a lawfully engaged partner.

Chilo is not a kid anymore, passion would sometimes mount on her too,like a horse, that doesn't means she she is wayward, it only means she is breaking through the door of girlhood into womanhood, she would desire your warmth and your man being, and if she couldn't get it for long,she get it elsewhere.

Son go now,and take her for a wife,I tell you as one who is ready to bear all the expense,go get her for yourself, I mean it, she would not tell you to come get her,you had to do it yourself, tomorrow, go to her, and ask her price,according to the ways of the Omas, I shall deal with all the needs, if you would not go see her,don't discuss this issue with me again.

Pass me Hennessy

Thanks for the invite

Keep the good work going bro. More grease to your elbow. Maku cannot cheat the gods..

Keep the good work up bro, the story is good and I love the lines too (most especially the incantations) though you still have much to do on this work. I hope the goddess will allow Maku to live, Ogbo is selfish, an ingrate and also a wicked man.

I wish Karma welcomes him before entering into the town before causing more trouble.

(What if I tell you I'm always here because of OYEKU?) The guy is good, I think for his good feat in the war, the warlord should (at least) advice him more on being a better warrior.

For now, I want to enjoy more of this story please.

Pass me Hennessy

Thanks for the invite

Aunty, i dont drink hennessy, manage malt ok. U are welcome

Wow the ideadoctor youre just getting better
you've made me addicted to Oyeku store ,I will be checking for upsates as if I wants to catch arm robbers na woa oooo

legun is weak and thirsty, but the outcome of a delay is what kept him going, they had walked through the whole night, with Maku's body on his shoulder,Arore was walking very fast,as if she knows how tired he was, she told him that they are almost there.

It is dawn,light is rising above the east,Maku sat on the river shore,as he watched Arore walk into the water, she walk on till she got to the middle of the river,she stood still and closed her eyes,he could see her shaking, he even feared she would collapse into the water.

She was like that for almost thirty minutes, then suddenly, she opened her eyes and faced Legun.


Arore: ( she extended her hands) bring him,bring him quickly.

legun adjusted Maku and stood up,he hurried towards the river with Maku lying diagonally on his arms, Arore collected Maku from him and marvelled at the strength and ease Arore used as she carried him like a weaned baby,then she looked up and made incantations.

With ease does the earthworm
journeys through the under earth
with ease does the fluid of a man
journeys through the deep passage
of a woman
till it gets to it destination
Esu will never complain of accident
because he is the keep king of all
journey
permit me mother of all life
oluweri
to come to your bosom
not to for disrespect
but to save a live
fayegbami is the name we call
water
muaratumi is the name we call
the great fresh waters
I Arore want to journey down
with a guest
permit me now
and honour the request
of an initiate.

immediately, she vanished together with maku as Legun staggered around in fear and amusement, when he regained his courage, he jumped into the river and hurried to where Arore once stood to check for her and Maku, but behold, there was nothing, just the water above and sands below.



Ekun was dreaming, he could see a great army,coming with great Calvary and infantry, they marched with great determination and wrath,they marched towards the great stream and crossed over,then they began to war against the people of the other bank.

He could see how men are been slaughtered, there was rapes, he could see men who had been set ablazed, burnt huts and decaying bodies, suddenly, a man faced him,he could see his face his angered face, but he doesn't know him,the man faced faced him and pointed at him.

strange man: I would wipe you out,and none shall hear about you,your ancestors nor your descendants, except for their doom ( Ekun got angry and replied).

Ekun: your wish for me,will be your fate, whoever you are, whatever your are, you are a doll in the hands of our gods,Aro will have enemies but they shall never prevail,our heart shall never be broken, let the winds hear your words and curses today and make them your lot ( the strange man charged at him and impaled him with a spear).

Ekun woke up,sweating, he touched his stomach to check for wounds,but there was none,he was alarmed,he knew his abilities, whatever he sees as dreams is what will happen In reality, just a matter of time.

He remembered the strange mans curse and shivered,Who could hate him much to curse him,his ancestors and his descendants, the man had look so angry, he could still remember the face,but he was happy that he rebuked the man.

He sat up from his bed and entered the ancestral room where the skull of all the past Ekuns where kept. He must communicate with his ancestors, he must know the meaning of the dream and must find the solution, therefore.
