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 fastWho is sorry for Ronke? Certainly not me. She has shown great leadership qualities. This should be nothing to her.
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
When the new comers stepped into the picture, the Elders could pretty much tell that the sway of reason would be great.They exchanged furious looks with one another, saying nothing to the other but yet telling only so much with just their glance. It was clear that they would not be in support it of whatever mandate that the new comers had come up with.Remarkably, the Elderrs could only marvel within themselves. To think that the Unique Familiar who they had turned out and vanished from their homeland could return to them. It showed the true Familiar spirit, the spirit that never did give up even when the entire Heavens was against them. It was the enduring spirit and in Ronke, they could see that sport settling upon her.To think that the Uniiqe Familair, a lady of that matter would rise up to the ranks f the CFR in Amnor was amazing. The other Unique Familiars who they had cast out often did not amount to anything worthwhile. They often does out, overtaken by
They say when a person is drunk or simply has had too much liquor, two things are best expected to happen.One. He two is that the person or entity may lose focus of what is actually ompornat and focus on trivialities. Or two, the person begins to get overly zealous and most tomes there is very little to no control on what this person can do or say.That is why when one person is drunk, it is mostly only fine when such a person is within the protection of the walls of their house. Or at least, somewhere away from public influence. This is what has being carried out for long. Or has become the unspoken law which everyone of these days have often had to uphold to their hearts.However when it does comes down to Obatala, the supposed King of the Gods, he did not have such luxury. You would have to consider that this was at the start of times. This was when the universe was basically getting a boot up so there was really very little archives of info that Obatala had. Or perhaps
Creating deformed humans was the height of it. At last to the creator being the King of the Gods. He was shocked beyond marrow as to what he has created. Beings without limbs or even without both limbs. He watched as they tried to crawl about, as they struggled to live. Originally, he must have thought of destroying them. After all, we are talking about an Orisha who was more than happy to serve Eledumare. He must have had thoughts as to making only what the best could be. You should be aware at this junction that this is merely speculation now. It is only our attempt in trying to understand what must have been transpired in the mind of Obatala. Yep records do not exactly leave us with all the details, if you must know. Still, at this, the possibilities of having loopholes or the possibilities of us being wrong i
With the way things were going now, Ronke could feel the high satisfaction building on the face of ABiola. She wondered, silently, how much ut was that her own brother wold have so much hatred for her that he would do anything to pull her down?Was it her own fault tat she hd happened to be a Unique Famialir free from the ancestral curse which had bedeviled every single one of the Familiars in their hometown Was it her own fault thats he had happened to be the bright one, out of the other Unique Familiars who had been thrown out by their society and she had turned out to be someone with this much potential? Was it her fault?Then why in the seven heavens did he continue to treat every of her misfortune like it was fun to watch? How much did he really hate?Sometimes, ROnke heaved, silently she wodnerd if thy were really siblings. Perhaps, they had been switched at birth nd her own brother was out there, somewhere. She just did not know. Bu then, she had come to
It was too good to be true.Even as joyous as she was, much to the seething anger of her brother, she was yet to come to terms with the reality of things.‘If only Chief Bamiro was here...’ She squeaked with happiness, elated over the fact that she could keep her people, her team in one piece and yet be admitted into the town.“Tch...” Abiola hissed, glaring intently at her. His knuckles squeezed and muscles bulging, he looked like he was going to burst a nut.Sensing his rising hostility, Shin and Bayo stepped up, making their way forward to shield Hana and Ronke, the larger who stood at the forefront earlier.Shin reacted on impulse, recalling the event f the battle back them. The battle that they had hadwhenAbiola had unleashed Mercenaries on his own sister.As a Nigerian, especially from the Yoruba lands exactly, Shino or Shin had a keen sense of family. Having his mother killed the day he died, right before his eyes had set a loose screw in j
