SEASON 2--Episode 5

*********

Ebere related her dream to her husband the next morning and he flinched it as a mere dream and urged her to relax.

"Relax your nerves my love. I believe the dream is just a figment.. You've been stressed out lately from just giving birth, nursing your sick baby and having to bury another child.. I think all these contributed to your dream.. You've been so stressed out.."

Ebere wasn't convinced
"My king, I believe this is not a mere dream. Onu-agbala himself came to me.."

"Calm down, will you?"

She took a deep breath "okay" she replied.

As soon as the King left her chambers, she quickly sent for Ulumma through a guard.. Ulumma hadn't been around the village for sometime now, she went with little Lotanna to her mother's village to see their ailing Grandmother.

"Omalicha, it's time to take your bath" Asa said, interrupting Ebere's thoughts. She had been in the Palace since the birth of the children helping her to take care of them and cooking meals for Ebere too.. This is called "Omugwo"

"Nne, am always scared of bathing now.. That's how you'll be pressing me hot water.. Odikwa very painful" Ebere said making a face.

Asa laughed "Those are necessities for motherhood. If I don't press you hot water on your tummy, you will lose your shape by having a bulky tummy and if I don't press your vagina, it would remain as wide as ngene river"

"Oh Nne!!"Ebere laughed heartily heading for the raffia bathroom while Asa followed behind.

THE DARK FOREST

"You have to be calm and sensitive.. Very insensitive.. Insensitivity has caused the downfall of many powerful priests. Yes.. You should be calculative and know when to strike.. Your inner ears have to be open spiritually to hear when the gods asks you to speak.. As a priest, you don't talk when you are not asked to talk.. Do you understand?"Nku asked

"Yes Great one, I understand"Nworie replied

"Good.. I as a Priest do not dwell on just spirituality.. I have great powers yes.. But I trained my fist well.. I am a great warrior! A powerful fighter.. I can drop all my charms and powers and fight physically with my fist"

"Really?"Nworie asked surprised

Nku nodded smiling

"I thought Priests only focus on powers and all that.. I never thought a priest could fight with his fists and not his powers"Nworie said.

"I don't know why am doing this.. But am moved to teach you how to use your fists against your enemies.."Nku said slowly as he chewed a lone of kolanut

"Am grateful Great one.. I'd love it so much. I'd love to learn. My Father never gave me a chance to rehearse with my mates.. He only put me to his shrine affairs..he said priests are not meant to associate in carnal things"

Nku laughed long and hard "That is what killed him.."He said while Nworie looked at him confused...

IN THE BUSH

"Dimma please nau.. We've been together for over a year now and I've not seen or tasted what makes you a woman! I've been begging you but all to no avail" Dimkpa said

"But you know it's not right! We have to get married first before doing anything." Nkolika protested

"That means you don't love me.. Biko nne, iga e testi nhie ichoro igo na'afia before igoro ya na (you'll first test what you want to buy in the market before you buy it na)"

"OK.. I'll come to your Hut this night"

"Mbanu.. Night is too far my love, how about now?"He said licking his tongue

"Hia! Now? Here? What if someone catches us??"Nkolika asked looking around

"No one will.. Just lose this your breast lappa and spread it on the ground."

"Are you sure no one will catch us?" She asked again

"No one will, trust me"

She shyly loses her wrapper and spread on the ground as she lie down.
Dimkpa licked his lips lustfully and opened his wrapper lying on her as her grabs her massive breasts..

"Chai nne, they're as soft as ube bekee.. So this is what you've been hiding from me.. Anwuolam o"

"Do fast before someone will come"

"Ndoo.."He quickly inserted his thing inside..

Just few metres away, Ajonwa stood smiling
"Inflict the youth with sexual lust and immorality, let the wives rebel against their husbands, let the husbands find comfort and pleasure in the arms of other women. Turn the children against their parents.. Let them sin against the earth goddess..THAT IS THE PLAN" she smiled.

************

Ulumma arrived the Palace with the guard following closely. She was ushered into Ebere's chambers and she met her mother feeding baby Onochie.

"Nne ndewo o(Mother well done o) You have successfully abandoned I, Lotanna and Nnam" Ulumma said feigning annoyance

"Obughi otu ahu (it is not like that) Your sister needs me more now"Asa said

'Nne hapu ya (mother leave her) she's just jealous..Plz allow me enjoy my mother o"Ebere laughed

"I hear you o.. mother let me carry my Nephew biko"Ulumma said

Asa handed over Little Onochie to Ulumma who carried him and was playing with him but she suddenly stopped and pierced into his eyes.. She felt something strange about the baby but didn't know what it was. She quickly handed over the baby back to Asa.
She then turned to Ebere "You sent for me"she said

Ebere looked at her mother
"Nne could you please excuse us for a moment?"

"Of course.."Asa took baby Onochie and his food outside.

Ebere pierced at her sister
"Ulumma, I think there's going to be a problem"

"How?"Ulumma asked curiously

"Onu-agbala warned me in my dream.."

"About?"

"baby Onochie"

"I don't seem to understand"Ulumma asked confused

Ebere looked around to be sure she was out of earshots then she whispered
"I think Ajonwa wasn't defeated in the last battle and she wants to use my child against me or maybe even the kingdom"

Ulumma looked up sharply
"I sensed it.. The atmosphere has been polluted.. Sister, it is time for us to put on our spiritual garments.. The war this time around ga adi very interesting"

She smiled...
