At night, Mayra was walking in the woods while holding a flaming torch and behind her, Chief Ashanti followed her while holding his flaming torch. As they both walked Chief Ashanti asked,“Are you sure we are not lost?”“Chief Ashanti we are not lost I know the way.”“We have been walking for hours are you sure you know the way?”“Just relax and see where I was all this time that I was hiding.”“Mayra is risky walking at this time in the forest.”The comment made her to stop face Chief Ashanti where he also stopped and faced her. He was one of the bravest person in the community but due to the rise of the beast error, he was scared as a little girl. Knowing he was afraid bumping op on the beast where she was not, she said, “Can you please be patient and am the lady here and am not scared.” Complying with her as if she was the all-knowing he responded, “Ok!” then she continued walking as Chief Ashanti followed him.They walked until the edge of the forest where there were no trees.

Deep in the cave, a flaming torch was lighting partially the cave. Besides the flaming torch, Ama slept on Ofori’s chest whom was also sleeping. As she was busy sleeping he suddenly opened his eyes and shook her. With his super hearing, he heard a mile away there a group of people walked towards the cave.Ama not knowing the reason of the sudden raise slowly she woke up while calmly asking, “What’s wrong?” Ofori replied, “Sh!sh!” Knowing something was wrong with a low voice she asked,“Tell me what’s wrong?”“There are troops of men walking towards here.”“What do they want?”“I don’t have a good feeling about this I just want you to run away.”“Ofori don’t be paranoid those are traders passing.”Not believing his words, she laid down to continue her sleep leaving Ofori still gazing at the cave entrance.Outside the cave, Mayra slowly walked as Chief Ashanti walked beside her with her pace. Behind them, heavily armed men were following them slowly. They knew that the beast had super h
It was a daytime the sun was clear in the sky. Ama sat on a bench under a tree to hide away from the strong sunrays. After her friend Ofori was shoot to death everything else that, she perceive it as useless. She was silently looking at her nails looking lonely. Chief Ashanti his father walked to her and sat on the bench beside her silently while facing away. Her low mood had gone for some few days with no sign of ending.After a moment Chief Ashanti silently seated beside her he broke the silence by saying while still facing away,“My daughter you need to fix it together you have been like these for two days.”“Father I need some time alone.”“I have given you that time for so long and I have not seen you heal.” He turned to face her and added, “Being like this won’t bring him back once somebody dies there is no coming back to life.” She quickly turned to her father and responded,“He ones defeated death.”“But this time you were with him until he burns until he was no more”Ama face
Very early in the morning Akyaa the daughter of Saarabi and Obo was at the riverbed knelling fetching water in a bow. As per the norms of the community ladies were supposed to do such kind of duties. She was the firstborn in the family of three sisters and no brother it was compulsory for her to be hardworking.Akyaa with her unique character she used to go to the riverside in the morning hours to take a bath and fetch water. This was odd to others because other girls used to go to the river at noon where they could all chatter and gossip, she was antisocial. After filling the bowl of water, she placed the bowl of water on her head and started walking back to the village. As she was walking back, she noticed a snake just before her leg, sprung back and tripped by a rock.But before Akyaa fell on the ground somebody appeared behind her whom held her and due to the tension she let go of the pot where it bangs on the ground and broke into pieces. She faced the helper where she found it w
The next moment Ofori was sit on a rock beside the river and in front of him, there was Ama who was holding a ball of wet cotton wool that she was using to wipe off the blood from Ofori’s wounds. After being open to her she felt petty to him where she helped by whipping his wounds while talking, she said,“So you’re telling me you love this girl that you are talking about.”“Yea and she does not love me back.”“Let me tell you something you can go through all that because of that does not mean you love her you need to now tell her.”“But I have shown her the signs that I truly love her but she ignores. What am afraid of is to be rejected once I say it to her.”Then Ama intentionally as she was wiping Ofori she presses a certain wound on Ofori’s forehead so heard that made Ofori exclaimed, “Ouch go easy.” After listening his story, she was ready to give him a free advice where she bang the cotton wool on the ground. Filled by anger because of his weakness she faced him face to face the
The next day at the base of the cliff a man was grazing his cows. As the man was hovering over the area, he noticed on the ground there was a large drawing of an alchemy star that was surrounded by a circle done by blood. And at the corners of the alchemy star, there were human skulls. This was prove that there was presence of witchcraft in the area.The man reacted by moving around the circle slowly as he was observing it. As he was moving around it, he noticed there was somewhere a skull was off line. He stopped and for some moment gauzed at it then using his foot, he pushed the skull into the line. Immediately the vegetation around the circle started decaying the man he ran away.The next moment the man was kneeling before the ten councils of elders where they were surrounding the man. It was compulsory for cases to be taken to the clan of elders before being whereas ten of them would come with a solution of how to act. Chief Ashanti the head of the council was found to seat at the
Opokuaa was lying on the bed where she heard a knock on the door. She woke up off the bed walked slowly to the door and opened the door. She was traumatized by her son’s accusation and what broke her down was the fact he was going to be hanged before everybody. If she would have attended the ceremony she would collapse out of pain watching her son hanged, she decided to just get the news rather watching it.Opening the door, she found her husband who was looking sad standing at the doorstep. Opokuaa faced Agyemang directly knowing the answer she asked, “What have they done to him?” though he as a failure to him he felt deep the loss of his son; blood is always strong he responded, “They hugged him before everybody.”The words they were as if a sword persed through her heart slowly tears started to flow from Opokuaa’s eyes knowing that was his only son that she had. Agyemang he had to act as a man though he felt the lose he tightly hugged her. Opokuaa she was crying asked,“And where i

Very early in the morning before the sun rose the skies were all red due to the reflation of the sunlight.The whole settlement was silent. Nobody had woke up at the time because their arrived previous night; they were all tired after the long journey. What could be seen moving it was a string of smoke rising from firewood that burned at the night and they fully not extinguished.In one of the tents, a Portuguese lady removed her head out of the tent to peep. Everybody had his own tent expect the married ones they shared. The lady turned right and left looking as if anybody was watching her where she found no one. She then closely looked at the tent that was opposite heirs as if she was more concern about the tent. After confirming that their was no one watching she pulled her head back in her
