Chapter 1: Storm Of Blood
The heavens poured out rain in outrage; lightning ran through the skies, and furious thunder deafened the people of Nnewi village. The women and children huddled together in their huts, praying to the gods to deliver them from their perils. Their lands had been invaded by Orlu, a strong kingdom from the south, leaving the men of Nnewi no choice but to leave their families and march to war to protect their loved ones. In one of the many huts, a young boy of about ten years old listened in awe to his mother as she told him tales of Amadioha, the deity of thunder, justice, and vengeance. These were his favorite stories, as he had always been intrigued by his past experiences of being struck by lightning twice. Being struck by lightning had given Ikenna unique features that made him stand out. His dark, dreadlocked hair had turned white. He possessed intricate fern-like burn patterns on his body, resembling permanent tattoos of lightning bolts, and his eyes had a faint cloudy appearan

A Slave’s Ascension Chapter 10: The Generals Son
"My king, I want to adopt this boy, Ikenna, as my son."—-You could hear a pin drop in the courtroom as everyone stared wide-eyed and mouth agape at Obinna. No one had expected this from the general—not even his brother Onyeka or Ikenna, the boy in question. Onyeka’s one good eye looked like it was going to pop out of its socket, and his mouth hung wide open in shock. "What! Why would you do that?" Onyeka asked aloud. Ikenna stared up at Obinna in surprise, awaiting his response. The entire courtroom awaited his answer, and they didn’t have to wait long. "Your Majesty, as you well know, my wife died during childbirth with my daughter, and the gods have not blessed me with another wife. I need a son to carry on my legacy," Obinna said. "If it’s a son you need, Obinna, why don’t you take concubines like the rest of us? Any one of them can easily give you a son," the king asked. "My wife’s death still haunts me, my king. I can’t imagine having another woman in my bed. Beside

Seeing Ikenna standing before the king when other kids were still kneeling shocked everyone, still Obinna couldn’t help the small smirk that appeared on his face as he was once again impressed by the boy foolish bravery.“How dare you!” One of the chiefs closest to the king yelled.“How dare a worm, stand before our king!,” the man continued with a furious look, as he stepped forward to approach Ikenna.“That’s enough Amaobi,” the king waved it off with a smile. Ezeibe had to admit he too was impressed and intrigued by the boy, where others knelt and trembled in fear, he stood defiant, and his unique looks also captured the king's attention. His white dreadlocks and lightning pattern scars were something he’d never seen before. “He is just a child and does not know our customs,” the king said with a benevolent smile. “I am sorry for this incident, my king,” Obinna said with a small bow. “ I promise it will never repeat itself again,” he promised.“It better not happen again Obinna,

Tall red walls stretched as far as the eye could see, built from hardened earth and reinforced with stone, wood, and iron. The walls towered high, crowned with sharp stakes at the top. Thick wooden gates, carved with intricate patterns, stood proudly at the entrance, guarded by soldiers in gleaming armor.Ikenna slowed his steps behind the carts, his cloudy eyes widening as he took in the grandeur. Even he, who rarely showed emotion since his mother’s death, couldn't hide his astonishment. The walls were like nothing he had ever seen before—sturdy, unyielding, and majestic. Only the gods could bring down such walls.The wall wasn't just high; it was also wide and thick enough to accommodate soldiers patrolling on top. As they walked past the gates, he saw wooden and clay steps built into the walls, allowing soldiers to move up and down easily."Is this... all for one kingdom?" Chizaram whispered beside him, her voice filled with wonder."It must be," Ikenna muttered. "No village needs

Onyeka stood before the villagers with a face as cold as stone. His single eye, sharp and calculating, scanned the crowd. He saw no people—only problems to be solved and tasks to complete. "Line up the children," he ordered, his voice hard. "We move now." The soldiers wasted no time. Mothers clung to their children, crying. Fathers glared and quivered in silent rage, but no one dared challenge Onyeka. The soldiers pulled the children away, pushing them into a line. Onyeka counted each one with quick, precise glances. "Get them moving," he commanded in an emotionless tone. Obinna stood to the side, his expression unreadable. Onyeka's gaze landed on Ikenna. His white hair gleamed under the harsh sun, and the lightning-shaped scars that ran across his dark skin stood out like marks of power. His cloudy eyes seemed distant yet sharp. Ikenna led the line of children, following behind the carts carrying the supplies and resources plundered from the village. Despite the uncerta

Akunna’s body lay wrapped in white cloth, resting in a grave. A few villagers stood around her, singing sorrowful songs. Their faces were heavy with grief, but they sang to honor a brave woman who had fought to protect her son. Ikenna stood apart, tears streaming down his face. He clenched his fists, trying not to cry, but it was useless. His body shook with sobs. He wanted to be strong, not to show weakness in front of the men who had killed his mother, but the pain was too much. Obinna noticed him from afar. Ignoring the curious looks from his soldiers, he walked to Ikenna and placed a hand on his shoulder. Ikenna stiffened. For a moment, he wanted to push the man away. But something about Obinna’s steady presence calmed him. He leaned into the touch, his sobs quieter now. The soldiers were surprised by his actions and whispered among themselves. "Why’s the general doing that?" one asked. "He’s acting like the boy isn’t a hostage," another muttered. Onyeka, Obinna’s br

Obinna and his soldiers marched out of the forest in heavy silence. Rain still clung to the trees and mud clung to their boots. The unconscious boy hung over a soldier's shoulder, limp and drenched like a rag doll. Obinna walked ahead, his thoughts weighing him down. “What have I done?”He couldn't get the seer's prophecyout of his mind. She had instructedhim to kill the boy, but Obinna just couldn't do such a thing. The boyhad lost everything: his mother, his home. To kill him would be a crime against the gods themselves.Behind them, another soldier carried the woman’s body. Obinna glanced back, his heart heavy. She deserved a proper burial. Maybe it would be the first step toward gaining the boy’s trust. As they came out of the forest, into the clearing, the village was in view. Smoke billowed from shattered huts, and the square was packed with terrified villagers under the gaze of Obinna's men. Mothers held their children close, and the elderly satstaring with worn-out eyes.O

Obinna, flanked by his soldiers, was close to the forest’s edge when he heard a commotion coming from inside the forest. The sorrowful, anguished cries of a boy echoed through the trees, rising above the patter of the rain. Obinna slowed, his ears straining. Something about the voice drew him toward the disturbance. “What’s going on over there?” he asked one of his lieutenants, who only shrugged. Before anyone could respond, a flash of lightning tore through the dark sky, illuminating the path ahead. The thunder that followed was deafening and wild, almost unnatural. Obinna glanced upward with narrowed eyes, an uneasy feeling clawing at his heart. "Strange," he muttered under his breath, spurring his soldiers forward. “Stay close. I want to see this for myself.” The group hastened their pace, spreading across the forest but not forgetting their training. Soon, they arrived at a small clearing — and that’s when they saw it. A boy, no older than ten, cradled a woman’s lifeless

Ikenna sat up groggily, rubbing his eyes as he tried to shake off the sleep, but the urgency in his mother’s voice snapped him wide awake as she dragged him to the door. “Mama, what is going on?” he asked, his voice laced with confusion. “Shhh, you’ll get us killed,” Akunna whispered in low tones, placing a finger over his lips. Her face was pale, and her eyes darted nervously toward the door, as if expecting a soldier to barge in at any second. Ikenna had never seen his mother like this before, and it filled him with dread. Akunna peeped through a crack in the door and scanned the village. She heard the screams of the villagers as they were forcefully dragged out of their homes. While she observed, she saw one of the soldiers point toward her hut and begin walking in its direction. Ikenna moved to peek, but she yanked him back, gripping his arm tightly. “Listen to me carefully. We need to leave this place now!” she hissed. “Leave? Why?” Ikenna’s voice cracked. “What about

Obinna stood unmoving, his dark-metal helmet gleaming beneath the storm. The bullhorn atop it made him look like a demon risen from the depths of the underworld. The chieftain of Nnewi charged toward him, his cry of sorrowful rage swallowed by the roaring storm. With bloodshot eyes and trembling hands gripping his sword, the chieftain swung wildly, desperation and fury driving his attack. But Obinna remained calm. As the blade came down toward him, he sidestepped with practiced ease, bending low to avoid the strike. Before the chieftain could recover from his overcommitted attack, Obinna’s curved blade slashed in brutal, unforgiving precision. The chieftain froze in shock, his sword arm cleanly severed at the shoulder, falling to the ground with a soft thud. Blood poured out in a surge, as if a dam had burst, spraying across the battlefield and splattering onto Obinna's cold, expressionless face. The general didn’t flinch. The chieftain let out a piercing wail, his remaining han
