The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 35: Being the seer's friend
Ikenga had not been himself since the last meeting he had with his father. He felt an enormous responsibility had been assigned to him. His reclaiming the throne of his forefathers solely depends on his proficiency in making the messenger his best friend. A friendship that would lead to marriage in the future. The task was quite huge for Ikenga because the child was one of the most stubborn children ever delivered in Ohanta. With his eyes fixed on the roof of his chamber, Ikenga wondered how she would destroy the deity. A woman who could fight a deity and won is more of spirit than human. "But, some people are really heartless. How could you choose power and fame over the lives and safety of your subjects? They were aware of what our maidens go through in the hand of Ajonwa deity, yet they chose to ignore it as if it was nothing. Of what benefit is riches and affluence when your people are suffering? May the gods forbid I do such a thing. I'll try my best and leave the res
The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 36: The appropriate time
It had been more than twelve years since Ije was born. She had not done or said anything about Ajonwa deity. Ezeudo knew she would do the needful when the time comes. However, her grandfather was worried about her. Before prince Ikenga came into the picture, Ije had never failed to remind her father that she would leave the village. However, since the handsome prince became her best friend and a brother she never had, Ije relaxed and looked distracted. Mazi Ileka was excited about the prince's constant visit, but he thinks Ije was losing focus. She never really had a friend since she was a child. The presence of Ikenga gave her joy. He was the only one she talked to as none of the villagers talked to her. "Ije!" Mazi Ileka called. Ije, who had been sleeping all day walked sluggishly out of her grandmother's cottage. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with the back of her palm, yet she was feeling sleepy. "Your mother had been missing for the past four days. Yet you seemed not to bother
The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 37: Dangerous mission
Ije went to bed without food. All the efforts made by her grandmother to make sure she took something yielded no result. Uzo joined her on the bed and cling to her as she slept. It was as if letting her go would cause the child to disappear. Mazi Ileka understood his grandchild more than anybody in the family. He knew Ije would love to leave without bothering anyone, so he gave her all the necessary advice a father would give to her daughter. Uzo woke up from time to time to make sure Ije was still there with her. She wished she could go with her. However, Ije had earlier told them that anyone who tried to go with her would be killed by Ajonwa deity because it may seem as though the person was trying to abscond with her. The mission was solely hers and the gods. Uzo thought about the child's mother who traveled to Uzofia community to see her friend Uzoma, whose husband fell from a palm tree and died. It had been eight market days since Anine left the community. No one had heard
The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 38: The Escape
"I hope it's not what I'm thinking." Mazi Ileka mumbled. Since Anine had been missing for over a week Ije knew what he might probably be thinking at that moment. "Far from it father. She will return." Ije said assuredly. "What kept her for so long?" "She found a place which looks like the world she created. Since her world was never actualized, she had to stay for a while with those whose world came to reality and have a taste of it." Ije said in the parable. "Are you sure she would return?"Mazi Ileka asked. "Oh she definitely will, father," Ije responded. Mazi Ileka breathed a sigh of relief. Now he can handle anything Ije wanted to say about his beloved daughter-in-law. "What is the secret you want you to tell me about your mother." Mazi Ileka asked. "The gods are so kind and wise. They do not want you to lose two daughters at once." Ije began."My primary assignment was assigned to her when her prayer was answered." "Your primary assignment? Ije! She is not as st
The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 39: Fulfillment of a prophecy
Mazi Ileka, who had been glancing at the wall of his room stood up the moment Ikenga entered the cottage. Uzo arose and embraced him convulsively. No sound was heard except deep sobbing. Ikenga had already become part of the family. Mazi Ileka saw him as a son already. "Mother, it's okay. Everything will be alright trust me." Ikenga said and Uzo nodded like a teenager. "Father, please put yourself together. Ije is a strong girl and nothing would happen to her." Ikenga said as he sat beside Mazi Ileka. "I know you are also worried about Dee Anine." Mazi Ileka turned promptly and gaped at Ikenga. "Did Ije tell you anything about her?" Mazi Ileka asked curiously. "Yes, she did." "What did she tell you?" "She told me Dee Anine would be back soon. She also said she would return with good news." "She did?" Uzo asked. Ikenga nodded with a smile. "No news would ever be good to me without my son, daughter, and granddaughter." Mazi Ileka said. "How is your father?" "Ezeudo is fine
The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 40: The Spirit of prophecy
Anine looked at her mother-in-law and smiled. "Mother, it's a long story," Anine said. Kasie, who had been out surveying the surroundings stepped into the cottage. "Kasie where went you been?" Ogom asked. "Allow the boy to explore the environment. Everything you see here belongs to him. This is his father's land." Uzo said. "Father, I saw some yams in the barn, I hope you won't mind if I roast some?" Kasie asked. "The barn is yours you can roast the barn itself if you want," Mazi Ileka said and everyone laughed. "You are pampering him already," Ogom teased. "Father has always been like that. He loves and pampers children a lot," Anine said jokingly. "Kasie, please roast yams that would be enough for all of us. We are hungry too." Uzo said. Kasie took off for the barn while they continue their discussions. "Anine, tell us how you met Kasie and the first thing that came to your mind when you saw him," Uzo asked. "Mother, I was on my way to Uzoma's house when I saw me
The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 41: Bad news
"Father, the villagers, why were they here?" Anine asked ignoring Uzo totally. There was stillness everywhere and Anine became more anxious. "Where is my daughter? Where is Ije, Mother?" Anine stood up and was about to leave the hut. Uzo stood in her way. "Sit down, Anine," Uzo said with a lot of calmness in her voice. Anine sat down gently as though the chair would smash if was not careful. "Your father cried as he has never done. The villagers came to find out why he gave out such a loud cry in the early hours." Uzo explained. Anine turned and clasped her father's hand. "Father, what happened?" "Ije....has... gone..." Mazi Ileka stuttered. Anine slowly dropped his hands which she held firmly. She stood up and walked towards the door as though she was going in search of her. Ogom looked at everybody in awe. "Who is Ije?" Ogom asked. "Her only daughter," Uzo mumbled without raising her face. "Ee..? Does she have a daughter? She did not tell me," Ogom muttered. "She
The Blood Of A Deity Chapter 42: Determination
"Why do you choose to settle in Amaife community after what your useless husband did to you?" Uzo asked to break the silence. "They called me barren woman, some people said I am a man. I chose the community to show them that I am a woman and I'm not barren." Ogom smiled after explaining. "What was their reaction when they saw you with a baby bump?" Uzo asked. "They all believed I have been cursed by the gods hence the protruding stomach. However, my husband and his people came and apologized when I delivered my handsome boy." Ogom looked at her son who was more concerned about Anine. "Did you accept their apology?" "Yes, but I refused to go back to him." "He wanted you back?" Uzo further asked. "Yes, but I can't go back to him, not after the way he humiliated me." "Are you worried about what that old man said?" Kasie asked Anine who looked worried. Anine lifted her head and gaped at Kasie. "Yes, I'm a bit worried. I'm wondering if I would see Ajonwa deity with my mortal
