Anine sat on a log of teak tree that fell at the back of Ajonwa's shrine. The tree had been her source of solitude each time she remembers how unfair life had been to her. The falling of the tree reminded her of the day her husband passed on to the great beyond. The unfairness of life began when Anine's husband died three years after they got married. She lost her mother when she was just three years old. She was raised by a father who made sure she never lacked anything, so her mother's absence was not felt. However, her father died after giving her hand in marriage. He sold everything he had just to make sure Anine never had anything to do with Ajonwa deity. This led to depression and consequent upon that, he died. Anine continued with her life after the death of her father. Her loving husband filled every vacuum her father left. When he died, Anine's world collapsed. Sitting on the log of the fallen tree, Anine began to recall how she got to Ajonwa's shrine - the same shrine h

"Greetings Mother" Anine turned and saw an attractive young girl standing at the entrance of the chamber. She had a large bosom and was quite too curvaceous for her age. In a nutshell, she was highly endowed. "What is your name ?" Anine inquired "Aku" "How old are you?" She further inquired. "Eighteen seasons and few full moons," Aku responded. Anine snapped her fingers in bewilderment. "You have been here for quite some time now, why are you doing this to me?" Aku asked with pains clearly written all over her face. "Doing what to you Aku?" "Please what are you talking about?" Anine shook Aku gently, demanding an answer. Ajonwa, the dreaded beast entered the chamber. "Woman!" He thundered. " Watch, learn from her, and stop complaining. " His voice echoed in the temple. Anine stood still and watched while Ajonwa devoured Aku like a hungry lion devouring its prey. The thrusting lasted for what seemed like ages. Aku kept quiet as her body responded to the rhythm of

Anine could not explain how she felt the day her father told her that he has found a suitor for her. At the age of nineteen, she was young for marriage and was also running out of time. Since the villagers now give their daughters out for marriage at a very tender age, Ajonwa also danced according to the tune of the music played by the people of Ohanta. The disappearance of the Princess of Ohanta, who was just fifteen years old made the people know that Ajonwa understood the music steps. It took Mazi Ugwu three years to gather all the things that were demanded by her daughter's potential husband. He also sold all his lands to raise the amount of cowries Onochie's family requested. Mazi Ugwu was sad that he sold everything he had, however, he was happy that he kept Anine's mother's last wish. "She is my only daughter, please give her out to a man she loves. Do not allow Ajonwa to lay his filthy hands on my daughter." Mazi Ugwu recalled his wife's voice. Tears began to roll down

"Ezeudo!" An old woman who was known as the old woman of the cave called as she approached the king's palace. She was halted at the entrance of the king's palace by the king's guards. If only they knew why she left her cave, they would have given her an easy passage. Her face was filled with excitement, however, the guards failed to notice. The old woman was banished from the community by the King's father after she was accused of witchcraft. The woman left the village and settled in a cave that was situated outside the village, at the boundary between Uzofia community and Ohanta community. Since she left the village, people had been visiting her secretly when they need spiritual help. They believed she wined and dined with spirits. All those who sought her help got the help they needed. She was not to be seen anywhere around the village. This was why the guards recognized her and denied her entrance. The old woman continued screaming. "Ezeudo! Ezeudo!!" Ezeudo was caught of

Ezeudo's disappointment was apparent as he sank into his royal chair weakly and covered half of his face with his left palm. He went into deep thought. The disappearance of the Princess contributed to the death of his first wife, the Princess's mother. She was the only child of her mother and everyone adored her. Ezeudo would have become a dead man if not for his second wife who was there for him. The news about the new messenger was supposed to be a good one to Ezeudo, however, since he had lost hope of seeing his daughter soon, he could not explain how he felt about the news. "Who did you sacrifice in exchange for a warrior from the gods?" The voice of Ezeudo's third wife who walked into the courtyard unnoticed brought the king back to the real world. He gaped at her in silence. Ugo had been a troublemaker since Ezeudo got married to her. The fact that she bore two sons for the king made her to be more proud than the second wife who had no child. "Who did you sacrifice to t
