Marriage to Onochie was the best thing that had ever happened in Anine's life. She hadn't thought anything could feel more serious and permanent than when she moved into Onochie's hut. 

Their first night together was an experience both never had. Although Anine felt a little nervous because it was her first time being with a man. Onochie was secretly intimidated by making love to his virgin wife. He was not confident about how to have a great time with her. He wanted their first night together to be a benchmark in her life. 

Onochie guided her gently, while they give each other ecstasy of passion. Little did they know that they were rewriting the history of the great Ohanta Kingdom. 

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Anine asked shyly when she opened her eyes and caught Onochie looking steadily at her. 

"The passion is overwhelming," Onochie whispered in her ear and they chuckled. 

Anine felt cold suddenly. She and her father had never slept apart since she was born. She felt like rushing off to her father's house to check upon him. Onochie noticed the sudden change and was quick to detect what the problem might probably be.

"Don't worry we'll get your father a new wife. Both of you have been together for more than nineteen seasons, and I know things will be difficult for him as it is for you right now." 

"My father would not take a new wife, I have tried but he blatantly refused." 

"Let's try again, I believe now that you are no longer living with him, he will see the need."

Anine stood up from the  bed and Onochie held her hand to stop her from leaving the hut

"Where are you off to?"

"You don't expect me to stay in bed all day, do you?" 

"I'm enjoying your company, I have been sleeping alone in this room, now that you are here, can you stay with me for a while?" Onochie asked gently. 

"Okay"

"Onochie! Onochie!! His father screamed as if the whole house was about to be burnt down. 

" Hei oh god, Father! 

Onochie quickly put on his cloth.

"Wait for me I'm coming," he said before leaving the room. He headed straight in the direction of the voice he heard outside.

Anine waited for some minutes before going outside to greet her father-in-law. The men gave her a surprised and pathetic look. 

"What is happening?" Anine asked 

Onochie forced smiles on his face to assure her that all was well, however, his eyes could not verify his words as he burst into tears. 

"Your father is dead!" He announced. 

Anine ran out of the compound, Onochie and his father followed her immediately. 

"Anine, your father cried throughout yesterday when you left with your husband. He said he felt empty and could not live without you." One of their kinsmen walked up to her when he saw her entering her father's compound. 

"What happened? " Anine asked with teary eyes. 

"I came this morning to keep him company and I found him lying unresponsively on his bed. He also left his door widely open, so I had to alert the villagers." 

Anine began to scream, her husband held her tightly to his chest. He was too emotional to speak.

The support Onochie offered his wife in her lowest moments helped her and boosted her confidence to another level of life. The presence of Onochie made her believe that everything was alright. Onochie was everything to her. 

He was always around to make sure laughter never departed from her pretty face. He helped her in the kitchen occasionally. Onochie's parents were very proud of them. 

Soon the result of their first night together began to have a noticeable effect on Anine. Her mother-in-law was quick to notice that she was pregnant. She had one on one discussion with her and confirmed her suspicions. 

"You are pregnant!" Uzo announced. 

"Haaaa!" Anine covered her mouth with her palm. 

"Yes, soon you will be a mother. Do not worry, I'm here for you. I will make sure you get all the necessary assistance you need okay." Uzo assured.  

"It is going to be a boy and I will name him Ugwuanyi," Anine said with a sad voice. "I wish he is here to see his grandson. Seeing his grandchildren was one of the things he so much desired."

"It's been a full moon since your father passed away, I think it's high time you moved on. You have a husband who loves you more than his parents, you have parents that love you so much, or are we not your parents? Do you not see us as one?" 

"Mother, you, Father, and Onochie are all I have in this world, of course, I see you as not just my parents but as my second god. 

Uzo drew Anine closer and gave her a warm hug. 

"Cheer up my daughter, I'm here for you. There are things you need to avoid. First, stay away from your husband, stop sleeping with him. Stop entering the kitchen, Onochie and I will always cook for you.

"Now, go and share the good news with your husband. Anine left and walked straight to the small hut she shared with her husband. He found him lying on their bamboo bed. Anine broke the news of her pregnancy to her husband immediately after she entered the hut. Onochie jumped from the bed, he hugged her warmly and spoke to her softly. 

"She is going to be a great woman, Ajonwa will never set his wicked eyes on her!"

Anine pulled herself out of his embrace. 

"I want a son!" Anine said jokingly. 

"I know what I deposited inside you. It is a girl and not a boy." Onochie whispered into her ears. The couple busted into laughter. Onochie pulled her back and gently laid her down on the bed, while his free hand stroked her neck softly. Anine pushed him aside and stood up from the bed. 

"What, why are you so scared?" Onochie asked surprisingly. 

"Mother said I should not sleep with you again. Get a bed maker to fix another bed for you there!" Anine said loudly before stepping out of the hut.

"For how long?" Onochie got no answer as she had already left the cottage.

    Ije took the enchanted sword and the wizard cloak around the whole communities. They all accepted to lift the ban. The traditional rulers had to search for a powerful sorcerer who would lift the ban. Ije stayed behind to make sure the people were extricated before going back to her community. The people organized a small ceremony for her and Nwife. They led them down to Ikpa land before bidding farewell to them. The youths of Ikpa insisted she must go with the four-wheeled donkey she won when she was on her way to Umuora. It was a straight journey back to Ohanta as they were already familiar with the paths. *********** "Where is the sword?" Ezeudo of Ohanta asked Ije when she had finished her story. "It has been taken down to the shrine," Ije responded. "By who?" The people chorused. "The only man I trusted with my life." The people looked around and saw Nwife standing at the entrance of the Obi with the Princess. Ezeudo could not believe he was looking at her daughter after so

    It had been four years already since Ije and Nwife came to Umuora, but the star had refused to show up. Oja had tried everything possible to make sure he separated both of them, but all his efforts proved abortive. He realized they were so in love the day he caught Nwife giving Ije a sponge bathe. It took him one full moon to be himself again. Since the solution to the problem of the two communities lay in the wizard's cave, Ije had decided to stay as long as the star appeared. Nwife also tried to convince her to go and return when the start would likely appear, but he gave up on her insistence. Soon they began to explore the community and were quite happy with the people. The people treated Ije with so much kindness. She found it difficult to leave without liberating them. The long-awaited day had come and Nwife and Ije were on their bed. Since he had been the one bathing and cooking for her, Ije got so comfortable around him. She could tell him everything and do everything while

    The morning dawned with low-hanging clouds. There was a calmness in the Palace as a result of the heavy downpour of rain. Oja who got his father's permission to speak with her in the early hours paused at Ije's door when he heard her talking to Nwife. He tried to eavesdrop but he could not hear what they were saying. He leaned against a wall and was lost in thought, trying to find a way of separating the two of them. A maid can with her breakfast and brought him back to reality. He took the food from her and knocked. Nwife let him in and tried to leave after greeting him. Oja waved at him to stop. Nwife knew he was jealous and would probably ask if he slept with her. "Thank you," Oja shook hands with him. Nwife accepted his handshake and stared surprisingly at him. "For what?" He asked. "For saving my brother last night." "She did; she is the healer," Nwife pointed at Ije. "You called her attention....em...one more thing...never mind, you can go now." Oja kept the food on a smal

    Oja took Ije took home after exploring the community for some hours. Ozo loitered at the entrance of the Palace. He could not wait to see the chosen one who transformed his brother. Some villagers who heard what happened huddled at the Palace and were waiting patiently for her. Their joy knew no bounds. The women ran to her and hauled her up the moment she was spotted. Ozo stared appreciatively at her. He knew the end of their suffering had come. He had wished to explore other communities and bring in new knowledge. The people sang and danced for more than two hours. Food was served to them and they ate together and went back home. The king was surprised Ije ate comfortably with them. Soon she began to feel sleepy and needed to bathe before going to bed. Oja led her to the backyard, and Nwife followed them. He engaged Oja in a conversation just to make sure he was not stealing glances at her. They walked her back to her cottage when she was through. Nwife left them and joined Offia

    "What did they need from the chosen one?" Nwife asked. Offia stood up and looked outside again to see if anyone was coming. He returned and took off the plantation leaves he used to cover his genitals and tried to put the wrapper on his waist just like Nwife tied his. Nwife stood, helped him and they sat down again. "The neighboring communities want to be sure the wizard is dead, secondly they want his enchanted sword and everything that belongs to him out of this community before they would accept our peace offer. This is where the chosen one comes in." "Your people should do what they asked of them. It is a very simple task, I thought they were demanding a hundred heads in retaliation for what the wizard did. "They said the wizard has a cloak. Anyone who touches it dies instantly. Besides; all the magicians who have gone to the cave to check if the wizard is alive or dead did not come out till today. No one knows what is happening inside the cave." "Wait....wait....wait....were y

    "Nice wrapper," Offia, the third son of the king said as he touch Nwife's wrapper. Nwife opened his eyes, he could not believe he has been sleeping for the past three hours. The sun had gone down and the weather looked as though it was going to rain heavily. Nwife rubbed his hand on his eyes. He was very very tired. He looked at the figure that stood before him and quickly came down from the chair. "I'm sorry for trespassing, I have nowhere to go." Nwife said. "No problem. You are the stranger that came with the Queen this morning right?" Offia asked. Nwife nodded. Offia brought his hand forward for a handshake Nwife shook hands with him. "You are indeed a gentleman. I can't perform such a task," Offia said as he took a seat beside him. "What task?" Nwife asked. Offia turned and looked at him. "You are so naive. Are you castrated?" "Hmm...no...I'm not," Nwife responded. "Leading such a beautiful woman down to this community without defiling her is one of the greatest tasks ever
