High Priestess Ewaru stared at the people in her sitting chambers and heaved a deep sigh, logic is when you find out you bought something from a store and then found out that its not good or its bad to go back to where you got it from to make a change or at least make a report, but these ones they never came back to report.
Seeing the raging taughts going on in the Priestess mind, which can be visibly read on her face, Princess Ayanna decided to speak to her conscience right in her mind.
Priestess we are all human and we make mistakes, please let's be happy they discovered this mistake on time and are here now even the Almighty Creator is highly joyful each time we recognized that we have made a mistake and returned to him to say we are sorry, he forgives us and help us out, much more we, forgive them and plead with the goddess to grant them an audience please.
All this while she was speaking with her the Priestess was staring at the ground, once Princess Ayanna finished she raised her head and nodded.
Alright come back tomorrow morning we shall go to the river by then I would have consulted the river goddess on a way forward. The Priestess said.
I disagree High Priestess Ewa, the day is still very much early let's finish this today, except you are still upset with the Eharuyi's? the Princess questioned.
Haannnn! Princess! why did you even come with them? the Priestess exclaimed.
For exactly this, abiku is not good and the headache on both side should not be allowed to fester anymore let's end it all today Priestess Ewa like I said for the boys sake please calm down.
OK then, I will prepare myself then consult the goddess inside my chambers once I get her go ahead, we will then head to the river bank for your supplication, Priestess Ewaru conceded.
Ah! thank you high Priestess, so so much thanks. The Eharuyi's finally breathed well.
While Princess Ayanna nodded her agreement.
The Priestess then went away to prepare herself as she said and consult the goddess on the said matter on hand meanwhile, everyone waited with anxiety written all over their faces not much conversation happened while they waited, it was still early in the day but to them it seemed like the minutes were like hours dragging on and on, not long however, the Priestess came back with a smile on her face and everyone else staring up at her expectantly, the Eharuyi's were even on their feet's yet they couldn't stand still.
Hey! relax if I had known the goddess was very eager to get this rectified I would have moved things along faster as soon as you came in here, even when I went to the chambers I didn't want to do anything, I sat down there just lost in my own taught I didn't want to provoke the goddess so I took a lot of time to start the consultation, the time wastage was from my side I was even lucky she didn't get upset with me, she said the children already wanted to stay and she had had enough of their sad wailings so she gave her permission for you to go and make the correct request this time, so let's go, the Priestess announced.
Eh! Ogheneme thank you, please can we go now Mrs Rukewe asked again as if in a daze and would like to confirm.
Yes! let's head to the river. The Priestess gently repeated herself.
Everyone happily left the Priestess compound and took the path that led to the river etinosa, as they got close to it Princess Ayanna called Mrs Rukewe to her and enquired if she has composed herself properly and is ready to make the proper supplication to which she answered yes as if her life depended on it.
They soon arrived at the river and the messengers of the Priestess helped Mrs Rukewe to tie a white wrapper on her chest and white scarf on her head then she was given a basket with all kinds of sweet fruits inside, which she carried in her hand then they led her to where the Priestess was standing just by the bank.
The Priestess led her a little into the river where the river got to their knees and they could still stand properly they stopped and she proceeded to sing some of the goddess of fertility praise songs soon she stopped and said some incantation and obeisance to the goddess when she finished, she turned to Mrs Rukewe and said you can now tell her what you came here for, for the great goddess of fertility is earnestly listening.
Mrs Rukewe took a deep breath and started to state the request that will finally change the destiny of her son and made her the mother of not just one but three children two boys and a girl in a space of five years in the future.
After she was done the Priestess was even forced to praise her this time you were on point, for you already knew that anything you asked you shall receive great job. They both left the river and joined the others just close to the bank.
How did it go Mr Osaro Eharuyi's asked and the Priestess answered smiling, this time all has been done properly your son will not die and maybe, just maybe you will have another child for your wife out did her self this time.
Thank you river goddess and thank you high Priestess Ewaru we will definitely come and show our appreciation Mr Eharuyi's said.
That will be good the Priestess answered.
Thank you Priestess for giving us audience, Princess Ayanna said, I really appreciate your assistant.
No thanks to you, who gave me the right push I needed to have helped, perhaps if you were not here to point me in the right direction I would have fallen out with the goddess for she would have been angry if I didn't attended to that family especially for the boys sake.
Thank God we worked together, we will be leaving now, Princess Ayanna said.
As they left the river and headed out the Eharuyi's could not stop thanking Princess Ayanna, but she told them that it was for her friend Ehijiator.
They all left the great river etinosa and soon everyone took the path that led to their destination it was not even yet noon.
