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 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.

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.

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.

It is what their Elders were there for; to guide them into the tight paths when it came for matters like this.For one, they made sure to stand out in the form whereby they exercised a monopoly when if came down to crafting things.

Ascenders: Rising To Hero 154. The Welcome Gathering
The familiars are one of the people who have the most hospitable nature of all races. As little as they may be when it come to having the ability to harness the power of the universe in the form of Agbara they have an even greater attribute that does well to cover for t this, And it is not for the fact that they have the most industrious spirits, it is more for the reason for the fact that they do happen to have a very big heart when it comes to sharing their resources. As crazy as it may sound, these peculiar people have a custom which does allow them to invite those who the council of the leadership of the town have invited to be theirs. Perhaps, this confidence is borne out of the confidence that could hold their own or borne out of the confidence in the layers of t5rust which they have established with a ton of people over the time

The council styled government for the Familiar Realm is as Inclusive as inclusive could be. Unlike other governments which are either styled by a dictatorship or a fully democratic style of government, this type of government practiced in the Realm of the Familiar People is the type that does incorporate most of the famous techniques. One, the people of the Familiar Realms are naturally famous for their unnatural hospitality to whoever would be in their lands. That is, whoever would be recognized but the council of the town. That does not mean that the pope is not aware of this decision of the Council to welcome such people in. It would only be more abiding if they followed it through and acted like they were in full support of the council whereas his decision was one that they had jointly taken together. S

No more did the noise of the crowd disturb the harmony of both Hadjans as they stood still, both of them staring at the ground. After Abiola dispersed the assembly, he had said a few parting words to the crew and then left, his head heavy in thoughts. The City was in mourning. Whether they blamed Ronke for bringing in Ascenders in or not, it did not change the fact that Ronke was gone. There was no way in the Seven Heavens that they were going to get her back. At least, not in the form she was, when she was alive. Ken and Spyder stood a while back, watching but not daring to say a thing. They had not known the crew for too long, their only actual connection being no one sles but Bayo. Now, Bayo was gone. Or rather, Bayo had gone rogue.

“Did you know about this?” Abiola asked Ronke, mouth agape. “He is a monster.” “Yeah, that does not matter. We won.” Ronke dismissed the conversation. But on looking back, her eyes widened now. Several of the Familiars seemed stuck to even act as they stared at Bayo, standing over the gigantic mass of the Turtle Backed Sonic Beetle. She could instantly guess what they were thinking. Now, they would be putting two plus two together, making their observations about what was really happening. Holding her stomach now, she heaved and then screamed out, free hand in the air.

The Turtle Backed Sonic Beatss was already in front of him and the form of it was indeed tremendous. Just like he had seen from a distance. It was fearsome, its huge buck tripling the confidence of the monsters as it stared at him balefully. “You Want some?” Bayo taunted. ‘Focus, Biayo.’ Yamsin Called out to him. ‘I know, I just want to say something to it. It's staring at me and making me feel somehow.’ Byao complained. The Beast in front of him seemed to study him with beastial intelligence. It remained still, pausing and waiting while its Beetle eyes

“Ah!” Ronke moaned as her body slammed helplessly against the ground. She thrust her hands to both sides, her vision hazy. Looking for something to grab onto and regain her balance. However, for each object she touched, she could only make out the soft, squished and slightly distorted forms of them. These were once living creatures. There were the bodies of the beasts which had been stuck down by the familiars so far. Pride surged in her heart but at the same time, looking on through the hazy vision of hers, she felt a bit of panic. What was Bayo up to now? “Hey, need a hand?” A voice called to her, helping her get back up. Rejuvenated by the source of the voice, Ronke summoned all of her will power as she rose, hefting

None of that they had faced up till now could prepare them adequately to face a wave. She knew that much. Despite being Lord Classed, she still felt uneasy. Somehow, something would happen. Something that was unplanned for. That was what she looked out for. The one thing she would be able to tank out with her Lord Classed Soul Strength. Law of War churned in her soul space, furiously boosting her spirits as she held her blade, tense but ready for action. She dashed to the left, slicing through, her eyes shut. Fiery aura razing into the atmosphere about her as the air heated up considerably. Her mind went ablaze, alertness level surging high. This was the true power of the Lord Class. The Class were one had a Soul Aura, the first true step in the beginning of power ascension. She opened her eyes
