When they visited the Oracle of Afugiri, the Oracle consulted with the gods and after which he said, that Arinze knows what killed his wife and shouldn’t blame anyone else.
The people who escorted Mazi Ukandu refused to believe the message, so they said not until they get the message from the Oracle of Ohuhu if it correlates before they’ll believe the message from the Oracle.
On the day they should go, Mazi Ukandu didn’t want to, he had reported to Arinze his son-in-law and he discouraged him, telling him that the Oracle of Afugiri and that of Ohuhu hate him and would do anything to bring him down because he has a shot at the throne which they are against.

The throne of Afugiri by traditions moves within the royal family for generations. It’s a sacred tradition that the King’s (Eze) first son would be heir to the throne and the throne moves to his brother’s family if by any means the Eze (King) doesn’t have a male heir.Therefore Eze (kings) kept marrying until they marry a woman that’ll give them a male heir because they want the kingship to remain in their family as it has been for generations.But Eze Nwadinobi couldn’t get a male child, he has 20 daughters already with 7 wives and he was already getting old.But the oracle told him that he’ll have a son with one of his 7 wives if he is patient.But as he got older and the hope of being able to father a child gets slimmer he started getting impatient especially when he sees how Emeka the son of his younger brother who may inherit the throne is behaving.

The Magic Bean SELECTING WARRIORS
The 11 clans of Afugiri provided 3 brave warriors making the total warriors selected to be 33 in number. Before you could be selected as a warrior, you must have passed the tests every warrior must pass.The first test is the test of courage, where you’ll be taken to the bush with your eyes tied and left to pass the night alone. You’ll be given a gong so that if by any time of the night you lost courage, you’ll strike the gong and the men would come out and remove the cloth tied on your eyes but you’ll never be considered as a warrior until you could pass the night alone with your eyes covered. Each of the 33 warriors knows what it is to walk in darkness. Before they became warriors, they spent a night in the bush with their eyes covered with clothes, their ability not to hit the gong at the sound of strange movements in the bush which they couldn’t see but only left their imagination to interpret whatsoever the movement may b

These Mats are rumored to cause whoever can retrieve it from these Bushbabies wealthy, if you can collect or steal it from them, it will earn you good fortunes in life.Dike the chief of the warriors reminded them they need to concentrate on their journey as these Bushbabies aren’t harmful as long as you don’t steal their Mats from them.A very wealthy villager has promised in secret some of the warriors a huge sum of money should they bring to him a Mat from the Bushbabies.As they journey through the path of these Bushbabies, suddenly, 3 of the warriors disappeared and it took a while before the rest knew that 3 of them have sneaked out in search of a Bushbaby’s Mat.Dike spoke to the warriors to wait for him while he sets out to search for these 3, he suddenly saw them running towards him like a mu
The Magic Bean MERMAIDS
They got to the river and quickly built a raft from the woods they found in the surrounding. They used their ax to fell and cut trees into logs, they use grasses as ropes to tie these logs of wood together.They have already wasted 4 days in the dungeon of the Bushbabies, and an extra 1 building a raft to cross the river believed to be filled with mermaids.They built 3 rafts, each raft carries 10 of them.They needed to cross the vast river before evening when the mermaids come out, but the river was so vast, so while they resting after a log paddle, they noticed a very beautiful lady hanging on one of their rafts, her face was so beautiful and so innocent. You can only see from her head to the top of her chest as the other parts of her body were covered in water.She seems like a helpless lady seeking help, one of the warriors forgot that he shouldn’t engage them for any reason as their intentions aren’t pure.He was mov
The Magic Bean THE LAND OF SILENCE
As they dropped down from the river where they just encountered mermaids, everywhere was quiet, no single noise was heard anywhere.Dike signaled everyone to remain quiet and as they carefully toss each step so as to avoid dry woods and grasses; dry woods might break under their weight and cause some noise and dry grasses when stepped on may make some crispy sound.So they were carefully throwing steps as they were moving along. They kept moving, they could see nothing dangerous though. So they were gradually losing their guard despite Dike repeatedly making gestures to them to remain as quiet as possible as they walk through this strange land.So one of them shouted when bitten by an insect and before other warriors could look back, he got whisked away.The warrior who saw the movement of what took him away shouted and wanted to pursue, another strange creature also carries him away instantly.Th
The Magic Bean WITCHES AND WIZARDS TERRITORY
‘you’ll see them flying on broomsticks, putting on black hoods, with protruded caps, they are very wicked and seeks to harvest our blood if we let them, but we can resist them’ Dike said as they approach to cross the territory of witches.He then asked everyone to bring out from their bags the portion given to them by the Oracles, ‘don’t waste it, when a witch approaches you, stay composed and make sure it gets close enough then you pour this portion on the witch and it will dematerialize before your eyes, but remember, don’t waste it and don’t use it unless it’s necessary. If you waste yours, you are gone’ he added.While they were threading quietly through the path, the witches were watching them from their covens. They laughed hysterically that they just have food walk into their lands.They usually travel to the villages at night to hunt for blood, they turn into birds, or rats and
The Magic Bean DON'T LOOK BACK
Dike reminded them, that if no one looks back no matter the sound, or noise, nothing will happen to the person.Even if you hear the voice of your wife or baby, please don’t look back, they are deceptions, your families are in the village, they can’t be here and the forces that live here can’t harm you unless you look back. When he was done speaking, He told them to proceed as he’ll lead from behind.Don’t even look back if you hear my voice calling for help; just keep moving he added as they went ahead of him into the ‘Land of No-look back’It was the elders who shared the story of the land to them and why they called it a land of ‘No look back’ their warriors observed many years ago that the forces in that land can’t harm anyone who doesn’t look back, then they went on to share stories of several of their warriors turning into pillars of salt, a rock of stone and into so many t
The Magic Bean DON'T LOOK-UP
No matter what is flying above you, the screeching noise over you, don’t look up.Our ancestors who were warriors named it ‘don’t look up’ when they discovered that the mysterious flying creatures in this land can’t harm anyone that didn’t look up to see them.No one has been able to see so as to describe the creature on this land because those who saw them turned to ashes instantly. But we don’t need to fear. If we don’t look up no matter what, we’ll make it through this land without any harm. Dike addressed them as they made it into the land.They could see piles of ashes from various spots as they take each step. These spots are warriors they’ve heard their folklores who couldn’t survive crossing this path not because they were not mighty men of valor but because they looked up.Each step the warriors take they see another pile of ashes that remi
