2024-10-29 19:42:56Late in the night after everyone had vacated their duty post. Sir Herbert went to the graveyard where the corpse was kept. He dug the ground and made it seemed like the child was buried. He eloped the UltraDope with the baby. The monk had been booked in an hotel at the jurisdiction of UltraDope. Sir Herbert walked in to the hotel room.
“Monk Pat. Let’s go. The baby is in the car. He needs immediate attention at the moment.”
“What of the mother?” The mock asked.
Sir Herbert sighed.
“She had been killed. I saw a stretcher being pushed out of the medical department. But I was leading the police after dropping the child at the grave where he was to be buried and I wasn’t chanced to check up on her. I am having the feeling that she had been killed.”
The monk nodded and led the way to the exit. They went into the car immediately and the hotel attendant bills was settled by Sir Herbert. The monk was already at the entrance waiting for him. Forthwith the bill was settled, they paced to the car, the sword pierced a part of the baby’s hand. Sir Herbert had prepared a blood in a plastic container which was placed beside the baby.
When the sword pierced the box. It was the container that was targeted and it hit part of his hand which wasn’t that brutal. The monk was already in the car taking care of it. Sir Herbert drove the monk to his home. He couldn’t sleep throughout the night having the thought of the consequences of what he did.
The monk was to be in his house for the main time until the child was resuscitated. Sir Herbert returned to UltraDope the subsequent day. Hemingway wasn’t at the court because of his emotion. He couldn’t take seeing the new born baby being killed.
Sir Herbert walked into the president’s office. He was surprised seeing Hemingway talking with him. Although, he didn’t meet the secretary en route entering, he thought she was in the president’s office. Humphrey paused when he saw him entered.
“How did yesterday go?” Humphrey asked.
“It went well. The child has been buried and everything taken care of. What of the mother?” Sir Herbert said.
“I don’t know. She should also be in the worm with her child at the moment. I think the minister of health has taken care of that.”
Sir Herbert was never wrong. He nodded and sat down gently. Hemingway didn’t know what was going on. He widened his eyes in awe gazing at the Humphrey and Sir Herbert. He saw the indifferent reaction on their face.
Humphrey was the one who invited the two of them to his office. They discussed the matter of the state and when they were done talking, they bade him. Hemingway was trying to know what the communication between them implied. Sir Herbert wasn’t interested in the conversations, instead he was directed to the minister of health. Hemingway really went their to confirm the death of the mother.
Before the closing hour at UltraDope, Sir Herbert had already left and taken the monk to the airport and he returned to Vatice. Although, it was late in the night that everything was arranged so they wouldn’t be any suspicious mind.
Monk Pat returned home safely at the middle of the night and performed the usual ritual on the child and the care began. Sir Herbert had promised to be paying a ceremonial visit to the child. He knew he was still going to be with Humphrey when the fate would come to pass.
When Sir Herbert returned to UltraDope the subsequent day, he was taken to the burial ground where the mother of the child was buried. En route leaving the burial ground, he received a call from the monk to be present at his temple on Sunday. Sir Herbert didn’t know the reason the monk insisted that he had to be present. The call came to an end and he walked to his office kinda worried and he couldn’t wait for Sunday inorder to honour the invitation.
When Sunday came, Sir Herbert went to Vatice as he promised and he met the monk praying. He used the period to walked around the area. It was his off day so he wasn’t in a haste. He enjoyed the little time he spent walking around. The child was tied in a white cloth and placed opposite the monk. The kinda quietness he had experienced on the few occasions he had visited the area had never been experienced before.
He walked to the monk when he saw him standing up from his usual position. He bowed.
“How have you been?” Sir Herbert asked.
“I have been fine.”
Sir Herbert saw the monk smiled for the first time. The monk also had a white mustache which kinda covered the surface of his mouth and only the hair could be seen moving when talking gently.
“How about the child?” Sir Herbert asked.
Monk tweaked his head to the temple where he was placed with a big smile. Sir Herbert knew there was something special with the kinda disposition he met the monk with the excitement he was oozing while talking.
“That’s him there. He is in the best condition. I want you to witness this moment that’s why you are invited here.”
“Oh really? What moment is that?
“Let’s go!” The monk walked gently to the temple and grabbed the child, “I am naming him today.”
“Huh!” Sir Herbert exclaimed with a smile.
He seemed to have been contaminated by the Monk’s smile. He stood as the monk lifted the child up to the sky and told him to have his eyes closed. Sir Herbert was feeling some unusual moment, the trust he had in the monk was what keep him on his toe.
“This child shall be called, Castro,” Monk Pat said.
“Castro…,” Sir Herbert said looking at his eyes.

A week later after Castro’s birthday, Monk Pat took a lengthy stroll to the forest as usual leaving Castro behind to look over the temple. Castro had had the long time plan of having a look at the city of Carten. He had lived all his life near the forest with the monk who seldom go out of the temple jurisdiction, his farthest visit had always been in the bush. The first time he entered UltraDope was when he was apprehended. When he returned to the temple, he saw everywhere quiet. He was expecting to see Castro running about and throwing stones at the birds of the sky as he always did.He wasn’t that concern when he didn’t see him at first, he thought maybe he went to the bush to pop or get something. Few minutes later, the concern was exacerbating in his psyche. He walked around and asked the forest sojourner if they saw him and none could give an answer. Some even avoided answering the question because Castro was like a plague due to some inhuman trait they had seen in him. “Where

That was the only fruit that he could hardly see in the forest when he did go with Monk Pat.Most of the times he did eat Apple was when his father’

At the end, one of the guys was convinced and felt like taking him in after the stories they heard from him. Although the story was kinda distorted so he wouldn’t be deported back to the temple. They walked to the apartment where they were staying. It was a single room and they all squat in it together. When they reached the apartment, Castro didn’t believe at first that it was meant for the group of guys.The guys were six in numbers, joining them made it seven.

They were at the gambling spot until it was evening. Castro was already jaded having seated for that lengthy hour at one spot. He had lost interest in whatsoever they were doing, although, he joined the guys as he saw them supporting different people.

Castro seemed to be a lucky charm he came to the gambling spot with.In the end, he lost interest as his voice was almost gone. There was no water that he could use to quench his thirst.

“Run! Run!! Run!!!” The guy were shouting.They were being pursued by the state police after the constant complaint of the people towards the guys. They weren’t only the group who did engage in such activities. It was still dawn which they deemed perfect to execute their illicit activities. Castro, as he was running with the guys away from the police, he was thinking of what to do. There was no way they would be caught because some of the police men were on the bike riding through the narrow spaces and some were running after them.Castro ensured he was the last among them, he saw the need to sacrifice himself so the guys could flee. He stopped after grabbing his hand on a long bamboo stick and he held it with his chest high. He whacked the first police man who wanted to hit him with his bike. He laid the stick on the road and eloped. They went after him immediately, although, they had relaxed. It was against the law of the Carten Society for a police to shoot the citizen who they wer

A few weeks later, Sir Herbert paid a courtesy visit to Monk Pat after visiting the new Mayor of Vatice. This time, it was only him. He could have come with the national police but he didn’t want it known to Humphrey that he was still in touch with the monk so he wouldn’t raise any suspiciousness.Monk Pat was seated under one of the shed around his temple taking fresh air with his eyes glued to a direction. Monk Pat was already aware of Sir Herbert’s presence but he didn’t know. He kept walking gently thinking he was having a medication with the gods. He stood beside the chair he was seated on and the monk tweaked his head.“Sir Herbert. You can have your seat,” Monk Pat said.He was surprised, he thought he was carried away by the meditation. Sir Herbert sat down gently. Monk Pat adjusted and faced him with a smile.“How have you been?” Sir Herbert asked.“I have been doing marvellously well. How about you?”“I am good.”Sir Herbert was twirling his eyes around. He had never came vi

It was stressful and sickening due to some environment encounter they had journeying through the land for such long distance.The apartment which had been rented for them, they were directed to the apartment and they would be meeting the person who sponsored them to UltraDope soon. They hadn’t known the particular occupation they had come to do. Castro thought, it was just a change of environment. The young man walked in with his two hands in his pocket. They assembled themselves and kept quiet because they were arguing before he entered. He was looking at the ground and his face didn’t seem friendly.“How are y’all?” asked Tyson.They were all shaking their head. Castro was awed by the trepidation that hit them that they couldn’t speak louder.“We are fine,” Castel responded loud and clear.“I was told that you guys are five. But I am

Ryker nodded. Sir Herbert was saddened. He had no idea what they came to him for because there was no solution.“Do you know priestess Inanna?” Sir Herbert asked.“Priestess Inanna?” Ryker turned to Wilder.Wilder knew her. Although he had never went to his temple since she succeeded priestess Ramona. A few years before Priestess Romano died, an aggrieved Wilder visited him demanding for superpower to use and kill the president for killing his father because he won the election against him.Wilder was lost in thought for a few seconds until Ryker patted him.“I am sorry. I know her. What does she has to do with this?” Wilder asked.“He will give a clear path to this. Priestess Inanna was a top goddess whom I am very familiar with, she was well known and respected across Carter. Before Monk Pat’s prophecy, no one could come near her in terms of divinity. When I met Monk Pat, that was when I knew that she had a match.”Wilder nodded and agreed to visit her if that’s the case. They went

A new rising sun will come upon the land of Carten and the old thing shall pass away.”President Humphrey became heartbroken immediately and was seen shaking his head. Detective Axel was short of words. There was a few minutes of silence. Blade on the other hand had been thinking of the better way to part with him.“Priestess, is there no solution?”“No… there isn’t.

He should also ask for the forgiveness of the father, grand father and the great grandfather to his ancestors. Maybe then, he can seen the good eyes of the gods.”Detective Axel sighed.

Detective Axel disclosed what he meant to Humphrey and Blade. They saw so much sense in it.

“Where is the guy?” Detective Axel asked.“I think he had returned to the underground cell. I don’t know what he would be up to this time,” Blade said looking as they helped the president back to his office, “what’s wrong with the president?”“I am not certain those guys care about the two guys in our custody. Despite the threatening message that we sent. They respond dictating that either the president surrendered himself or have all his daughters killed.”Blade exhaled with a smirk on his face. It sounded kinda funny to him because he deemed it not possible. He reflected a bit.“Are you sure those ladies are still alive?”“That’s true. We haven’t heard from your men who were in the captive either. Either ways, what’s the solution. What if they are still held captive in the fortress?”Blade went quiet and he led the way to the president office as the medical team were on the run to his office either.At the fortress was Wilder and Ryker who had been working all day to sort the issue
