Chapter: Chapter 21It was morning, the sun was quickly brightening, and the trees around had thrown shades in the opposite direction of the sunshine. Under one of the trees' shades sat an aged man with a gloomy expression on his face. That man was Duutloug.He had sent for his brother, Yompa, and was under the shade waiting for him to come. After his encounter with Joabe the previous day, he had exhausted all means to figure out the true identity of Joabe but had no leading clue to it. He wanted to know which of his enemies had reincarnated because Joabe had told him they had been rivals since they were teenagers.Duutloug, due to the series of atrocities he had committed in the past: made it difficult for him to figure out directly who Joabe was.If Joabe were to be an ordinary person or person with a few abilities and light-shielding on his identity, Duutloug could have found out his make.As Duutloug sat and contemplated about Joabe's identity while shaking his legs,

Chapter: Chapter 20Meanwhile, at Tieuw-Ting, Noubik Biiting stood with red eyes and a bitter look. He was disappointed about the failure of the enchanted crested porcupine to bring down Duutloug.The more he thought of it, the more he got angry. In the first place, he suffered before stealing the porcupine from the dwarves' land. Porcupines are also nocturnal, and it took him one and a half years to cast a spell and manipulate the crested porcupine to operate in the daytime.Besides the porcupine failing to complete the mission, Noubik Biiting had become an enemy and a target for dwarves.When he stole the crested porcupine at dwarves' land, the dwarves had followed to cease him, but he managed to escape. The dwarves had waged war against him. So he was sad that he would not be able to go back to dwarves land for spells like he used to do...............Back at Nankpiit market, Joabe had left the enchanted crested porcupine under the hands of Duutloug to decide its fate.

Chapter: Chapter 19Joabe replied Duutloung, "I am who, am I. You have to find out my true identity."People who had gathered at the enchanted animals' area to buy and sell were baffled about the confidence of Joabe. They knew Joabe was spiritually powerful, but they did not believe he could challenge Duutloug in public without any fear. If Duutloug had not argued with the boy for some time, people would have thought that someone told, Joabe to insult Duutloug in public. Duutloug knew he had caused a lot of atrocities in the past, so he stopped challenging Joabe.Laar Dampang perceived that what Joabe said was probably true but shouldn't have been at the market square, apologized to Duutloug for any inconvenience caused to him.Before Laar Dampang could finish talking, Joabe stretched out his right hand across Duutloug's face and grabbed three fast-moving lightning bristles of a crested porcupine. He quickly stretched out his left hand and grabbed another five bristles

Some traders at the market were known people to residents of Nankpiit, and others were strange faces.The men of Nankpiit and other villages that come to the market reared and sold domestic birds, like homing pigeons, guinea fowls, and wild birds of all sorts. Others traded in enchanted wild animals and skins.The women were dealers in animals oils, wild pepper, cola, and many herbs. The medium of exchange for their goods; was measured in cowries and sometimes certain animal skins.Joabe's father, Laar Dampang, was training and selling enchanted wild birds and animals. On that market, day decided to take Joabe along. It had been two years since Joabe was born, and he had never been to the market.The market square of Nankpiit was a dangerous place for children to be, especially the area where they sold enchanted birds and animals. It almos

Chapter: Chapter 17"Stop rebuking Diuk Kombat. It is our brother Tabpak Nou who has pierced himself with a knife in the chest.""I did warn him when he was about going to meet the people of Nasan for the ally. I told him of the possible consequences, but he refused to listen.""He even called me a coward when I tried stopping him. Paarlomang probably survived because he does not know about the blood wall our ancestors built between; us and the people of Nasan." Chamba Tan Laari then turned to Paarlomang and asked, The night before, you and your father went to Nasan, what did I tell your father?"Paarlomang cried bitterly and said, "I was young to understand what you were telling my father then. The reality has taken us by surprise. I don't understand why my father ignored your advice."Upon Paarlomang's words, the crowd was heartbroken and cried with great regret.Those who scolded Chamba Diuk earlier started apologizing to him, but he ignored all of them and said, "why should an an

Even though the people at herbs hills were spiritually powerful, their spiritual power was limited to understanding herbs and using them; to heal people.There was no single sorcerer at Herb's hills to explain the thunder sound that occurred at black stone valley to them.The sound became a topic.
