ADA PRIDE OF ALAOCHA (BK 1)
“Ewu (fool), will you mobe out of there before I smack your head.”
“Mba (No), I hear sound now.”
“No sound.” The other barbarian turned to leave but paused “Okay, yes, there, there.” A strident cry filled the air as the barbarians chased after the shadows of the night.
Ada exhaled as the wind carried the footfalls of the two barbarians away. She wanted to laugh but felt like crying. The image of the havoc these flesh-eaters caused made her thanked Chukwu okike (almighty God), for the gift of life. The stories of the village jesters were the closest she had ever come to these barbarians.
