A servant, standing close to the lamp, immediately put on the fire again.
"My Lord." when queen Idia got close to the man sitting at the other end of the hall, opposite the entrance door, she bowed and squatted on her knee to show respect to the man.
"Get up my beautiful queen." the man said to her.
"My Lord, I brought your son to you," she said to man, who apparently was her lord. presenting a crying baby to the lord.
"Really! Haha!
The windows of heaven have truly opened, and the gods are showering us with gifts!" barely smiling, the lord said with joy.
"A second son!? what great news!
Come, my dear, bring him closer to me"
the king gestured to queen Idia. whose heart had skipped a beat when she heard her lord mention 'second son'.
"My lord?" she said questioningly. It seemed she had not heard what the king had said.
"Come closer to me." The king said to her again.
when she got close to him, the king, although he felt like kissing her on her forehead due to joy. Instead, he took the baby from her and made some signs on the baby's forehead before murmuring some secret spells. Then his eyes widened a bit.
"Hmm. this is strange. the baby's bone seems older than the other Ogidigbo." The king stared thoughtfully at the child for a while then,
"Woman, tell me the truth, when did you deliver this baby? why does his bone seem older than it should be?." with a straight face, the king asked.
"My Lord I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."
The queen, Idia, got on her knees before narrating everything that had happened earlier in the day.
The king checked then realized that the baby prince indeed, wasn't breathing. He had been holding the baby all the while and didn't realize that the baby prince wasn't breathing. He arched his left eyebrows then he spoke.
"I see... So that means queen Esagho's son who I had named Ogidigbo is not my first son.
Hmm.." The king thought for a while before he spoke again. "From today you shall be called Osawe, However since you are older than Ogidigbo but you did not cry at birth, I'll name you second firstborn and also heir to the throne. It, therefore, means that you and Ogidigbo are eligible to become the king."
Once the king finished with his declaration, he gave the child back to the mother then went back to sit on his throne. Unbeknownst to everyone the child at that moment started breathing.
The queen, Idia, took the prince, then returned to meet her group, when she noticed the prince had started breathing. She began dancing, similar to the way the first group had been dancing earlier.
Some time. Later that same day, after the queen Idia and her group had left, another group of people, led by another averagely beautiful woman came to the palace to meet the king.
The king, who had been thrilled the entire day by good news thus far, got another shocker that left him stunned.
Apparently. This newcomer woman, a wife of his, a queen. had also put to bed a bouncing baby boy. more weird though was the fact that the child's bone age was even older than his first two sons presented earlier. Therefore although he was reluctant to acknowledge it, he realized that this newcomer's child; a boy. Was his one true firstborn son and heir. regardless of that, he did not publicly declare the child an heir to the throne for reasons best known to him.
However, he later went on to give a name to the baby prince just like his two other half brothers. Moments later the newcomer queen left with her.
"I' have always thought I can outsmart that prophecy.
damn!
that old bitch! I regret the day I met you!"
The king thought to himself. he was screaming inside, his heart ached as he felt a tinge of fear.
A while later he asked three senior chiefs to wait behind before he dismissed the other chiefs and servants who were in the palace court. when the dismissed chiefs and servants had left, the remaining chiefs drew closer to the king. Soon they started discussing some serious issues in a hushed tone.
Somewhere in Black Mountain Continent.From within a pool of red hot lava, mixed with fresh, thick flowing warm blood, spilled from the dead bodies of different people, a steaming bloody red humanoid figure emerged.As the mixture of blood and magma bubbled. The figure—with two bloodshot eyes puffing out red gas and a body fuming with steam, was a completely naked male.The Bloody Red Humanoid Figure stepped out of the pond of steaming blood; levitating.His empty eyes were mechanical and devoid of any emotion. Yet, they aroused a feeling of a dark, untenable evil, death, and an infinitely boundless abyss of savagery.Once he was out of the pool of blood, the Bloody Red Humanoid Figure levorotated it's neck twice, before it spoke,"I've been in this hell of a place for so long, thanks to this blood offering I'm finally revived.Hump! you Lords Of The Skies, ju
The two Bloody Red Humanoid figures were perfectly identical.One of the two Identicals came forward and started talking"I've already restored your health, and your strength should now be back to normal.You see.Normally, I should've killed you already, but you've said something that caught my attention. You called yourself the 'God Of War',haha." The Identical laughed gently, then continued"The truth is, I absolutely find that statement, falsely alarming, but still, quite intriguing. You see, I'm yet to know just how powerful you are, to bear such a title." The Identical spoke, in a yet superior manner that was too at ease and unbothered.Meanwhile, The Identical was still completely naked, and his proper–size, bloody phallus was still cheerily hanging about itself, between his leg, dangling without a care in the world, with each motion, ev
While the God Of War was busy sulking and contemplating his next move, the Surrogate Avatar, Flashed again and appeared in front of him. Stunned, Nri Magu quickly gathered his strength and threw a punch at the Avatar."Haha!" The Avatar moved aside in time to escape the blow laced with fiery blue flames.Unwilling to give up, Nri Magu relentlessly punched at the Avatar, who kept on flashing left and right to dodge all his attacks. The one-sided attack continued to create space cracks and shockwaves.A moment later the fight stopped. The two figures were staring at each other. While Magu's body was burning with fierce blue flames that soared high and turned the red sky crimson blue, his heart was burning with an enormous rage of frustration.The Surrogate Avatar, however, was standing still, floating naked in the air, with his hands behind his back like some master, though it was extremely weird and funny given the fact that he was cove
Back at a kingdom,Things were going on smoothly. There had been relative peace, and the mood of the citizens of the kingdom was still noticeably joyous, from the lingering event of the gifting of the three princes, by the Gods, to the land.Although it had been five years since the birth of the princes, the land had experienced many gains and flourish.The rains had graced the farmlands and nurtured the flowers and plants to bloom and fruit. Lustrous evergreens scattered the lands and pervaded the air to besiege the nostrils with the soothing fragrance of herbs and ripening fruits and an abundance of oxygen. Accomplishing the heart with joy and excitement, when the warm, and comforting sunlight plastered the face upon the sight of Aurora.Although the entire nation had been particularly peaceful and thriving, the palace had been segued with the smoldering feud and callous thoughts.Jealous air had evaded the every, breath of a few Aggr
Another case was the aftermath of the first event. Then, the queen, Oloi Esagho, and the queen, Oloi Idia had encountered each other by a street. Then, the gist around was that queen Esagho had gone to confront queen Idia about her son's, the prince Igodomigodo's misfortune. Since she, Oloi Esagho was one of those finger pointers.However, a brawl ensued and a crazy fight burst out, in which the two queens at loggerheads, tugged, and eventually stripped themselves naked. Luckily for them, there were no male figures around and their guard was not on duty that day, because of some ongoing sacred rituals and festivals at the time.Much like the first incident, when the accompanying guards bore the brunt, the maid escorts of the queens at that time were flogged for not gratifying the queens and for prodding the situation to degenerate into a slugfest. The queens were however commanded not to ever visit, until further notice, the lake which had been the purpose for thei
The petrified young prince continued to walk out of the yard. At first, his friend tried to stop him but he couldn't, so he gave up.A while later the young boy who had been playing with the young prince ran out to call for help from the seniors. Immediately he got out, he saw a fair woman."Miss! please come and help the young prince. He has been behaving weirdly and kept walking towards the jungle!" crying, the young boy ran towards the fair woman."Wow! queen Idia is truly the devil, haha... I can't believe she did it so quickly!" The fair woman smiled wickedly to her self,"Where Is the young prince now! which direction did he go?" She gripped the young boy, feigning concern for the young prince's wellbeing."He went that way ma!" the kid said, pointing towards the jungle, where the young prince had gone."Ok, you go and inform the guards I'll go and search for the prince."Say
"Okay let's get out of here first." the young prince said then he started running with the fair maiden.Immediately the young prince, Ogidigbo spread the ash on his face, and breathed in. he felt an overwhelming, heaviness capture his body. His young handsome face instantly became pale and grimace."My prince, what's the problem, are you alright? Do you need my help?" The fair maiden, Ose, feigned ignorance and behaved surprised at the sudden change in the expression young prince.The prince remained silent and endured."Ok, get on my back, I'll carry you all the way back" The fair maiden squatted to let the price climb unto her back. As she was especially skilled at deceit, she did everything possible to ensure the prince believed she was on his side and tried to make sure he never suspected her."No! I'll be fine, thanks" Unexpectedly, the young prince declined.Shocked and disappointed, she rolled her eyes at the prince, "Really? Yo
"What! Do you mean she's queen Idia's personal maid?" The commander asked the guard, who spoke earlier. He wasn't sure he heard him correctly.Meanwhile, Ose, the fair maiden, picked up her pace and started briskly towards the exit of the jungle.When she heard what the guard said. She acted as if she did not hear his command."Lady wait!" The Commander ordered. His voice was loud and booming.When she heard his command, she realized that her plan of escape wasn't feasible anymore. So she decided to wait and dialogue."I thought you said I could take my leave before. Tell me, why do you ask me to wait now?" She asked firmly, she had been apprehensive before when she tried to escape. However, she knew that if she was going to get out of the mess she needed to act confident."My soldier here, just now, told me that you work for queen Idia. Is that true?" The commander was very direct. His manner was cold and unforgiving in a wa
