☞Nnenne uju izuanagbara.
IZINGA’S HOUSE.
NKAI LOOKED AT THE BOY. HE LOOKED AT HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE YOUNG MAN WHO c@m£ TO THE BOY SAID….
-Greetings.
-who are you? IZINGA asked.
-my name is kumani and this is my son, azuma. i have brou-ght him to be trained by you. i want him to stay with you.
-hmmm,welcome. he has to stay a little while to be tested. if he pas-s the test, then i shall make known to you requirements.
-ok, thank you GREAT WARlORD.
-and where are you from? IZINGA asked.
-WESE, kumani answered.
-WESE? Hmmm, WESE. will your son be among the WAR MEN OF WESE?
-Yes my GREAT WARlord.
-hmmmm(IZINGA shock his head) and you say you are from WESE?
-yes GREAT WARlord. I am from WESE.
-ok. (to the young boy) ASUMA is your name?
-yes, OBORO’S SON ANSWERED.
NKAI FOCUSED ON OBORO’S SON’S MOUTH BECAUSE HE HAD GAPTOOTH. IMMEDIATELY HE SIGHTED THE GAP TOOTH, HIS CURIOSITY WAS CLEARED. THEN HE SAID TO IZINGA.
-My lord, i should be on my way. YOU KNOW THE CHAMELEON IS NOT A LIZARD.
IZINGA PAUSED AND LOOKED AT THE TWO PEOPLE STANDING BEFORE HIM AND LAUGHED.
-don’t mind my old friend, he likes to speak in parables. (to OBORO’S SON) go and sit over there. (to KUMANI) you can now go. come back after 14 days.
-thanks Great WARlord. (he left)
NKAI WAS SURPRISED.
-MY lord, you accepted him?
-yes i did.
-My lord, didn’t you un-derstand the proverb i USED?
-yes i did.
-so why accept him? my lord, you have made the GREATEST mistake.
-How?
-That boy is not AZUMA, HE IS MDIRA, The son of my SECOND IN COMMAND. That man who c@m£ with him, is not his father.
-Hmmmm, wonders!!!! did you say second in command?
-Yes my lord.
hmmm, this CRAFT is BEGINNING to come in a vivid shape. The man who c@m£ here saying he is from my seer, c@m£ on a horse that LOOKED like the one used by the war men of UMA and i told him to his face.
-my lord, OBORO’s horse has two stars on the bridle.
-hmmmm, i Did not view the bridle well but ZIORA did. i will ask if she saw stars. if this is the son of the man who c@m£ yesterday, then HE IS FINISHED.
-my lord, what is OBORO looking for? why is he fighting to get close to you?
-BECAUSE, i am close to the WOMAN in the PROPHECY, the future savior of UMA. They want her KILLED by all means,that’s why they are fighting to be close to me but little did they know that CRAFTINESS is not WISDOM. I will destroy them with their own CRAFTINESS. hahahahahaha. A FOOL IS FULL OF FOOLISHNESS.
NKAI WASN’T COMFORTABLE.
-my lord, is OBORO evil?
-until i find out if he is the one who c@m£ on the horse, i still won’t tell.
-My lord, this boy can’t stay here. if he finds ZIORA, it will be disaster.
-NKAI, nob©dy will find ZIORA. keep your friends close and your Enemies closer and same time be distant, besides, ZIORA is DISGUISEd. With this boy here, he shall be un-der constant surveillance.
-OBORO…..hmmmm. SOMETHING isn’t right my lord. why should another man claim MDIRA. i have sometime ago, suspected OBORO,over the death of SERE, our WAR MAN. The CREATOR forbid that the second in COMMAND of the ARMY of UMA, is a TRAITOR.
-do not conclude yet until we are done with our findings. Now NKAI, your purpose of COMING wasn’t just to see ZIORA. You just fulfiled it. So be gone. i will s£nd a message to you when to come. May the CREATOR keep you safe.
IZINGA TOOK MDIRA TO THE ROOM WHERE HIS MATES WHERE. AS HE WALKED BACK TO HIS CHAMBERS, HE NOTICED THE SAND IN THE TIME JAR HAS STARTED POURING AGAIN. IZINGA STOOD AND WAS LOOKING AT IT. HE WAS AMAZED.
-only the CREATOR can explain this, only the CREATOR. I thought it has seized forever.
IZINGA MET ZIORA re-adING. HE CALLED ZIORA.
-the horse you saw some days back, does it have any star on it ?
-YES MY LORD. it had just two. my father’s horse has 4.
-(he stood up) ZIORA, go back to re-ading.
HE WENT TO THE ROOM WHERE THE BOYS WHO ARE TO BE TRAINED ARE AND OVER HEARD WHAT OBORO’S SON DISCUSSED WITH THE BOYS.
– when i grow up, i want to become king. i want to learn how to be a DANGEROUS WARRIOR. I want to be feared. i want to be worsh!pped. once i learn my skills with the sword, i will Pierce who ever stands on my way. My father thought me to be raw, rigid, rugged. My father said, ONLY THOSE WITH WICKED HEARTS, GET WHAT THEY WANT. if you are KINDHEARTED, YOU WILL NEVER BE FEARED.
THE BOYS ANSWERED HIM.
-that’s weird
-The CREATOR forbid i have such father, what?
-is your father a decendant of lordevil?(devil)
– nice one. IZINGA MUTTERED from behind.
OBORO’S SON GOT ANGRY AND STARTED A FIGHT. THE BOYS BEAT HELL OUT OF HIM. IZINGA WAITED TILL THE BEATING REALLY GOT INTO HIM.
-serves him right. useless son of a bloody traitor. Here, i must put you in your place.
IZINGA WALKED INTO THE ROOM. THE BOYS St©pPED FIGHTING IMMEDIATELY.
-nee-d i remind you, you are only nee-ded in a war front and not in a war room? AZUMA, how dare you? you want a fight right? you want a fight? come with me.(he dragged him)
THEY GOT TO THE PUNISHMENT FLOOR AND COMMANDED THEM TO HANG HIM. BOTH HANDS WERE HANGED UP AND HIS LEGS
WEREN’T tou-ching THE FLOOR. HE WAS JUST CRYING.
-fight all you can AZUMA, you will be here till MORNING, Tomorrow. Fight all you can.
HE WAS CRYING.
ZIORA WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN ALONE. SHE SAT WITH HER EYES CLOSED MEDITATING. SHE FELT THE PREs£nCE OF SOMEONE AROUND HER AND OPENED HER EYES ONLY TO SEE A MAN IN WHITE STANDING BEFORE HER. ZIORA STOOD UP AND DREW OUT HER SWORD IN DEFENCE.
-who are you?
-i come in peace, ZIORA, she whom the CREATOR has chos£n.
-my name is lulu.
-The CREATOR has s£nt me to empower you. A time shall come when your sword, your STRENGHT, your skills, even your knowledge shall fail you. Your only hope shall be the POWER of the CREATOR for those which you shall face, shall go beyond the sword, beyond their STRENGHT, beyond their skills, and knowledge. They shall drop seen weapons and fight you with unseen weapons.
ZIORA WAS SCARED.
-be gone from me. i don’t know what you are talking ABOUT. you are not from the CREATOR.
-seek a sign. seek a sign ZIORA. seek a sign.
-The CREATOR knows me in and out. Tell me my dream when i clocked five.
-your father died in that dream. you stood at one end and saw YOURSELF come out of your father at the other end. you were warned by your GRAND MA MAJE, never to say it to anyone. That day, you heard the word TABOO, first.
ZIORA WENT ON HER KNEES.
-you are indeed, the mess£nger of the CREATOR.
-stand up and stretch out your right hand.
ZIORA STRETCHED OUT HER RIGHT HAND. THE MAN BLEW AIR AND IT DROPPED LIKE CLOVES OF FIRE AND WALKED THrou-gh ZIORA. SHE WAS j£rkING.
-contain it. you nee-d this fire, you nee-d to burn. Allow it walk throu-gh you.
ZIORA FELL TO THE GROUND.
-open your mouth. (THE MESSANGER BLEW AIR INTO HER MOUTH) you are favoured, for the CREATOR shall honour every word of your mouth.
THEN HE Brou-ghT OUT A FLAMING SWORD.
-take it. (ZIORA STRETCHED out her hand to RECEIVE the sword, it vanished into her hands) tell no one this. YOU HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED, YOU ARE re-adY FOR THE ENCOUNTER.
FOR UPON MOUNT ZION……
EPISODE 12
Ziora’s TRAINING THAT NIGHT WAS EXCEPTIONAL. IZINGA HIMSELF COULD TESTIFY. IZINGA THOUGHT WITHIN HIM THAT IS WAS TIME TO ENGAGE ZIORA IN A CAUSAL WAR, TO expo-se HER THE MORE.
OBORO’S SON, MDIRA WAS SO UPSET WITH THE PUNISHMENT MELTED OUT TO HIM. AFTER HE WAS re-leaseD,HE DECIDED TO DEAL WITH IZINGA.
-i am my father’s son, HE SAID.No one dares me and gets away with it. everyone will feel the wrath of MDIRA, the only son of OBORO, the second in command of the great ARMY OF UMA. At sunrise, we shall see.
THE KING HAS NOT HEARD FROM WUNA, THE SEER. HE WAS FORBIDDEN BY THE KING NEVER TO SEE HIS FACE TILL HE GETS AN ANSWER FROM THE CREATOR. HE WAS WORRIED AND s£nT FOR WUNA. WUNA TOLD THE ERRAND MEN OF THE PALACE….
-i cannot come with you. i have been forbidden by the king to see his face till i get the answer be wants to hear. Tell his majesty, the great king of UMA that the CREATOR did not reveal who the woman is and where to find her but the traitor is among us. Very close. closer than we can ever imagine. The traitor is getting re-ady. The dark days of UMA is getting Nearer but the CREATOR has promised that help is on the way. THE WICKED CAN ONLY SHOW OFF THEIR CRAFTINESS, BUT THE CREATOR DISpla-yS MIGHTINESS. UMA SHOULD GET re-adY.
THAT NIGHT, KING OHUMA COULD NOT SLEEP. HE PRAYED TO THE CREATOR THEN HE sle-pt. IN HIS DREAM, HE SAW GREAT WIND. THE WIND WAS HEAVY. IT WAS b!owING. THE BIGGEST TREE IN HIS PALACE FELL. HE SCREAMED AND WOKE UP. HE CALLED OUT TO THE ERRAND BOYS.
-go and fetch WUNA, the seer. go!!!! now!!!
AT THAT ODD HOUR, THE ERRAND BOYS GOT TO THE SEER’S HOUSE. HIS WIFE SAID HE HAS GONE UP TO THE MOUNTAIN.
OBORO HAS GONE TO THE WITCH MOTHER. HIS FORTIFICATION HAS STARTED. THE WITCH MOTHER MADE HIM GO n-ked. SHE SET UP A FURNACE AND COMMANDED HIM TO RUN THrou-gh IT. OBORO DID. HE SUSTAINED ALOT OF INJURIES. THE WITCH MOTHER DID SOME INCANTATIONS, SET ANOTHER FIRE AND COMMANDED OBORO TO WALK THrou-gh IT. HE DID AGAIN. OVER SEVEN TIMES. OBORO WAS TERRIBLELY BURNT. THEN SHE STARTED HIS HEALING PROCESS.
IMMEDIATELY IT WAS SUNRISE, MDIRA c@m£ OUT WITH THE STONE IN HIS PALM FACING THE SUN. IMMEDIATELY, THE WHOLE PLACE TURNED RED.
THE WITCH MOTHER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HEALING OBORO WHEN THE SIGNAL c@m£. HER MIRROR TURNED RED.
-hahahahaha, it is time!!!! your son has done it. OOOOOOH YOU SPIRITS OF THE RED STONE, IT IS TIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEE, LET US GO AND St©p DESTINY. (she shouted)
IMMEDIATELY, red birds filled the room she was.
-let us goooooo, SHE SHOUTED.
IZINGA c@m£ OUT. EVERYWHERE WAS RED. EVERYONE IN THE IZINGA’S HOUSE RAN OUT. THE WELL TRAINED WAR MEN RAN OUT WITH THEIR SWORDS.IZINGA quic-kLY WENT TO HIS CHAMBERS AND LOCKED ZIORA IN. SHE WAS slee-ping WHILE ALL THESE WENT ON. WITCH MOTHER AND HER BIRDS FLEW DOWN AND BEc@m£ WARRIORS WITH SWORDS.
-TAKE POSITION!!!! (IZINGA SHOUTED)
-no, no , no no. WARlord, WITCH MOTHER REPLIED. we are not here to make war. She is here. BRING HER OUT.
-i do not TRAIN WOMEN,YOU SILLY WITCH. Look around you, do we look like women?
-what???? you called me silly? hahahahahaha, i wanted to be nice to you but i can see you are stupid and foolish.
-Pocket your niceness you stinking witch. i prefer the WRATH of the CREATOR than your niceness. At my cry, the CREATOR will show mercy. Your niceness has no fairness, it has no softness, it is WICKEDNESS.
WITCH MOTHER WENT MAD….
-ATTACCCCK, she SHOUTED.
IZINGA’S WAR MEN AND THE WITCH MOTHER’S WAR MEN FOUGHT. IZINGA’S WAR MEN WERE OVERPOWERING THEM. WITCH MOTHER CHANGED THE MODE OF THE FIGHT.
-we shall fight power for power hahahahahahahahhaa, AAAATACKKKKKKK!!!!.
THE WITCH MOTHER’S WAR MEN STARTED USING MAGIC. IZINGA SAW 5 OF HIS MEN DROP DEAD.
-you coward!!!! why magic??? you are so worthless.
-hahahahaha, bring her out or all will die. hahahahaha
-you are KILLING for nothing. There is no Woman here.
WITCH MOTHER KEPT KILLING. 15 DOWN ALre-adY. IZINGA WAS CONFUSED. WHAT DO I DO. MY CREATOR, OH HEAVENS, HELP ME. IN HIS THOUGHTS, HE BATTLED. DO I BRING HER OUT? NO, THIS IS A Tra-p.
ZIORA WAS ALre-adY UP. SHE TRIED TO COME OUT BUT THE DOOR WAS LOCKED. SHE LOOKED THrou-gh THE WINDOW AND WATCHED AS MOTHER WITCH WAS KILLING. SHE SAID…..
-i can not be able to face now with the sword in my hands but the CREATOR has placed swords in my mouth, that by my spoken words, i shall see the my de-sire upon my Enemies. You enemy, you witch, by the power CREATOR, LET YOUR VISUAL ABILITY ROT IN FLAMES NOW!!!!.
IMMEDIATELY, THE HEAVENS OPENED. FIRE STARTED COVERING THEIR FACES LIKE MASK. IZINGA AND THE REMAINING MEN SAW IT AND WAS AFRAID. IZINGA SHOUTED.
– THE CREATOR TO OUR RESCUE.!!!!!
-(witch mother shouted) let us gooooo.out of here.
SO THE WITCH MOTHER LEFT. SHE TOOK MDIRA TOO. THEY WERE SURPRISED AS MDIRA FLEW AWAY WITH THEM. ZIORA WATCHED THEM FLY AWAY AND SAID…….
-When the CREATOR is INVOLVED, case RESOLVED.
