With the ship landing in the edge of his vision, Bayo could tell that the bustling town of hammering metals and chattering people had come to a momentary halt now. It was as if the town had paused in order to acknowledge that there were some new comers in town. And frankly, he did not mind.
After all, what was theatrical appearance if there was nothing that stole the attention in the town? There was the ship. Bayo could imagine how that would steal attention from the skies where he had been fighting. Then again, there was the fight scene, the battle scene where he had fought the dragon. Alongside with the hidden figure of Shon in the background. So it did not really matter that the attention of the town would be divided between them and the ship. What mattered was that the fighting force which had been sent out to exterminate the dragon had seen him. He had come to their rescue, promoting a rather desirable goal.That is, a theatrical appearance.Bayo smilCan we agree now that Bayo is slightly proud? Lol.
“I Hope this does not come out strange to you but tell me about your culture here, Roke.” Hana called out now as she slowly steered the ship, bringing it even closer to the ground. They had been sailing so far and there had been no glitches on the journey. Shin and Bayo had gone out to confront and defeat the Dragon which had been giving the people somehow d time then. She had hoped that there would not take that much of a time against it but she didn't want to sound like she did not appreciate their efforts. Itw as true, in every circumstance, there was often the great divide between skill and having the knowledge to go about it. COmbined together, Bayo and Shin may just be the most potent force that they had on the ship. But without the logistics of how to go about it, they would most likely be in each other’s way. It Was for this reason why the
The industrial revolution of the people from Familiar Realm did not just spark out of the blues. It Was fuelled by an earnest desire to become more than what was apportioned to them by life. They sought out to be more, to be greater than what was easily available. They Wanted to be more than what others could come to recall that they would be. And indeed they did come across the mark. Naturally, their position to the First Heavens would be heavily disadvantageous for them being that they were not strong enough to hold out against the Demon wave which would be coming out in droves. That Was a given factor but then that was not all that mattered to the true sense of it. There was another bonus to it, a bonus that they did well to keep well hidden from others. By being so positioned to the First He
Hearing the words from the Familiar with the name of Abiola did not seem to hit right to the two Ascenders. Was that even necessary? Yes, it was true that the logical question here was to find out why they were here. Butthatw as not even making sense. Rather than do that, how about find out who they were? Even though it did not mean that they would automatically let go of their identities, at the very least it would sit better with the both of them than what they were having to face. Bayo’s face contorted now. Shin was not even better. The two of them exchanged rather curious looks on their faces. But just as they did that, the faces were quick to morph into an expression of anger. Just that Shinwas fast at dispersing his own rage.
Just as Ronke and Hana got down to the grond, there was a brief moment as they paused to take in the airs of the Familiar Realm. For Ronke, this was a rather iconic moment, that is, to think that she would be able to come down to her home town after the long period of time had gone by. It was indeed somthing for her, in the long run. After all, it had taken a lot of planning and some teamwork event to the cost of her losing her ambiton as a CFR squad Captain. There had been times when she ahd thought if it was all worth it but right now, with her feet on the home soil now, it was something which was remarkable. Here was home, the end goal of everything which she had been seeking after. This was home and the goalw as evn in sight. She could save her people. that much was a given fact. Even though it did not seem rather to be likely at first but then, she could dare to hope. She remembered only briefly what the Chief of Fair Weather Town had said to
Even though it was a no brainer to think that she would not get to see the Four Elders of Famialir Realm despite landing this close to the Town Hall, nothing could have prepared her for this moment.Ronke stammered, stunned by the fact that the Elders would be out here to welcome her. Well, not welcome In the actual sense of it. The tone at which e had been arrested with had set the lace.Renegade daughter?? Whoever welcomed anybody with such a word in the first sentence? Certainly not anyone who had pure idealistic and hospitable intents towards her. If for anything, that word in the first sentence from the Elsers gas done nothing more but inform her of how much she was unwanted in this place.A renegade daughter? Like her? And she was expecting that they would just allow her to waltz in and come to their rescue? How could she not he seen it?She was unneeded here. Unwanted. And if for anything with the way things were fast spirlling out of control, she would fast
Amidst the decisions that she had to make, keeping silent was not an option. Rather it did one thing. It showed weakness, an attribute that Hana was willing to kill or be killed for, rather thann to show it.“What is it going to be, Ronke?” Hana asked her voice slightly louder than before but enough forThere were four elders, each one of the synonymous with the element which they controlled.In Familiar town, things happens just slightly and slightly off the usual way. Even though it was pretty much the usual thing since many other realms also used this method of government, the Famialaor Realms used the congress styles government. Them they coupled with that style of government with the council styled government wherwghey made rather critical matters which could not just be discussed in the open of the streets.For the rather open matters, the Town square was a place where the whole of the town met. And when they did, the council of the Four Elders would be
The Hana she knew would have taken laws into her hands the very moment she was threatened but right now, it was different. She was standing down which meant she was trusting in her judgment this time. That trust, Ronke reasoned, was something which she did not want to lose now. It gave her courage. However, unless she was able to make the best of it, then it would not matter. No, it would not matter in any way that the Hadjan Female thought of her. That was why she had to think critically and ensure that she was not going to make any rash decision out here. Still, while having those thoughts in her head, the Elders did not think it lightly to have here. Their customs were their customs. And it did not matter what the others thought of it, for
What was Obatala’s mistake?Surely as the first of the Orisha, one would expect him to be the prototype of perfection but unfortunately such was not the case. He was prone to error, as much as others could as well be. But the core thing about him was that he never for once did flee from the mistakes which he had made.Perhaps it was this expelary nature of his that seal his fate as the Kkng of the Gods. Being that in a time where the Eledumare we're just about recovering from the betrayal of their own first creation, Obatala was a breath of fresh air.In his drunken state, the King of the Gods had gone about creating his first assignment. Stories have it that he had to do his task with the soil which he had didst brought down from Heaven.The dust that tyw Poultry Fowl had scattered all over the face of the waters, which had sokodofied into layers upon layers of rock solid earth; the foundation of the planet Earth. It was this same earth that the King of the Gods h
