"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 anIt was a market day on the rocky land of Nankpiit and a bright sunny day. People from all walks of life had come to buy and sell. 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
Joabe 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
Meanwhile, 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.
It 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,
BORN DIFFERENTJoabe Dampang was born with some abilities on the days when dark magic; was widely practiced in the rocky lands of Africa.His grandfather, Laar Yompa, upon realizing his abilities, on the day of his birth, fed him with a dark spiritual retention meal. The dark-spiritual retention meal; was meant to protect Joabe from losing his destiny to destiny changers. His grandfather, Yompa, upon noticing a hidden spiritual mark; of fly-whisk on his chest, knew his grandson came onto the earth with some abilities.These spiritual abilities of Joabe; can be seen by those with evil eyes. Which they will either change his destiny or destroy him before his initiation date.Joabe reacted differently to the dark spiritual retention meal. Not only did the dark-spiritual retention meal protect him from his abilities being taken from him by destiny changers, as it does to those who are fed, with it.It also activated his ability to absorb the magic of those who try to
After bathing Joabe, Duutloug went home thinking he had destroyed the destiny of another boy.At night Duutloug went to bed and had a dream where he was chased; by a boy of not more than three years at dwarves caves mountain. The boy in the dream; had the eyes of an eagle and spits-fire like a dragon. Trees fall from the strong wind when he swings his hand in any direction.The boy roars like a lion and causes the clouds to respond with thunder and lightning. His body switches to a dragon, a lion, and an eagle.Duutloug tried running, but the boy in his dream was so swift. The boy made him fall several times on the rocks, which caused Duutloug to lose his spiritual accession teeth. When Duutloug woke up, he realized he was not in his bedroom. He was on top of one of the rocks he fell on in his dream at dwarves caves mountain. He quickly got up to run but fell back. His legs were tied to a tree nearby, with enchanted palm leaves robes. What? It is no more a d
At dwarves caves mountain, Duutloug went and stood ten meters from where he was tied by unknown superpowers the previous night. He used the Charcoal and drew three feet diameter circle around himself.He placed the three miracle leaves on the line of the three feet diameter circle around himself.He then placed the two eggs at one foot each, inside the circle one, at his right and the other egg at his left side. He picked out the five cowries and placed one on his right foot and one on his left foot. He put one egg in front at a foot distance. And with the remaining two cowries, he kept one each at his right and left palm. This method, 'The five cowries distraction,' was the second time he was using it. He has ever used that method to capture and destroy the Evil goddess of the dark valley.The dark valley was one stretch of dwarves caves mountain. That place was three miles from where he was tied by the unknown superpowers the previous night.The Evil goddes
Meanwhile, back in the residence of Yompa, Joabe's mother, 'Konduk,' is busy in the kitchen. She will be receiving visitors from her mother's village, and because of that, she had to help; in preparing the meals.Joabe's father, Laar Dampang, has also gone to check on their family, land in the next village. The land; was being encroached on by some village folks, which made him abandon all his home duties and attend to it.Joabe was left; under the care of his grandfather. His grandfather, Chamba Yompa, started singing in praising Joabe. He had some lyrics in the song that describe Joabe as a 'new crowned warrior.''A man who is obeyed; by sun, moon, and thunder.''A wind; that cannot be trapped.'In the process of signing, Yompa noticed that Joabe's mood had changed. Chamba Yompa got panicked.Joabe had frowned his face and folded his lips in. His tiny eyes became red, and his eyeballs were like that of a big cat. The fly-whisk mark on his chest became mor
