She will follow the energy to see if she could find the couple. She looked keenly and sure enough, she found a vibrant energy thread and started following it she hoped to God that it's the correct one for the woman's sake, she followed it down, one thing was certain this energy is that of a deity not of human.
What has this Edet guy done to himself, these deities are vicious once you go to them you tie yourself to things you don't understand, with them everything has a deeper meaning now this one is determined to see this man lead the life they have mapped out for him.
Ayanna followed its part and it leads her straight to a beautiful mansion in a city a very vibrant city L even at night the place was still very much alive, the City Street lamps lit up every road and streets it was simply beautiful.
The spiritual energy that she could sense in this mansion was massive could it be that the deity was living there?
Once she was inside she found the man with his pretty pregnant wife discussing. At least she has confirmed that this was the place.
As Ayanna turned to leave she saw a very small boy of not more than eight years blocking her part with a light smile on his cute face.
Hey! who are you Ayanna asked?
I am Deziku the little boy answered in a resonant voice, I am one of the monitoring spirits for the human in this abode, but what is the great and powerful Queen doing here? Deziku inquired his voice like music to the ears.
Ayanna smiled, I have a great interest in the humans in this dwelling, nonetheless, you are yet to tell me what you are doing here? Ayanna asked.
We had no idea he was your person, in this world we know the rules and we try not to cross our boundaries, however, when he came to us we found he had no allegiance to any gods not the inferior one's not the superior.
He is the greedy type he won't even have any kind of qualms to use his beloved as long as he archives his goals. He only wants to be rich and the means by which he archives it..... not his worries even if he must shade blood, this one knows he is an only son the hope of his parents yet he took a deal from us to be rich and not help his aging parents as we speak his father has already died from his mistreatment but what did he do? he stole his mother's money and came here.
You know Deziku I already know all this and I need your help, can you help me? Princess Ayanna asked.
Great and Powerful Queen what can a lowly deity like me do for a goddess like you? I will greatly consider it.
I need that man and his family saved, it's important to my kingdom, so can you help me? Princess Ayanna asked again, it was important for this deity guarding over this sacrifice to be the one willing to release the culprit so there won't be a battle, for if there is a war then the mortals will be the casualties and she was trying to save the casualties.
By this time Ayanna was already gone over an hour, Hillary took a bowl of water and cloth and proceeded to wipe the sweat from her forehead and body.
Deziku liked the feeling of respect the Queen gave him and he was willing to compromise, this Queen even though she was more powerful than him still accorded him respect in his own territory as long as he can get a good substitute for the present one he was willing to make the exchange, Great and Powerful Queen come inside with me let's go and see them while I think for a minute.
Once inside the sitting room, they saw the man writing down some calculations in a note pad, there were no worries in his eyes, it was obvious he was enjoying the kind of life he really wanted. Princess Ayanna taught that he deserved what was coming to him if not for his mother, what is wealth when your family won't be there to enjoy it with you? this man needed a good slap to reset his memory.
The deity Deziku interrupted her taught and said to Princess Ayanna, Great and Powerful Queen let the pact be transferred to the unborn child, while he is alive till he reaches age 15years the father will be wealthy but once he turns 15years he goes so is the wealth? I will really like that, Deziku was elated.
his eyes shone and he clapped his hands like a child that was just presented with his favorite football.
He saw Princess shaking her head in none acceptance and a frown appeared on his little face, no? he asked his countenance changed, I want blood! I mean I want someone blood related to him. Blood for blood that's it, he declared.
I know even I know the rules, however, I can't allow the little one to suffer for his clueless father's ways.
Then who do you suggest? don't tell me the wife for she won't do, Deziku said with a little arrogance and viciousness known for deities like him.
If I provide you with the right person will he be saved? Princess Ayanna asked him.
He will be saved Great and Powerful Queen though I wonder why you want to save a person like him?
Sometimes we do things for the sake of others but you are correct you know, he needs to understand that this and learn if not what's the guarantee that he won't go back to his uncaring ways? hmmm? what do you think we should do to teach him a lesson? Princess Ayanna asked.
The boy deity taught for a while and said let's reveal ourselves to him and show him the error of his ways, but then, great and powerful, Queen you are yet to tell me who his substitute will be I can only consider it all if I deem his stand-in worthy.
Let his mother bear the brunt of the penalty ah! she was the one who spoilt her son rotten Ayanna rushed to enlightened as she saw the disapproving look of the boy deity she never gave her son a proper upbringing.
In a way you will be punishing her too, Ayanna continued seeing that the deity was considering what she was saying. She already knew that this deity still wanted to be in charge so she made it look like it was all his idea and what he will also like.
I have to go, Ayanna, announced to the boy deity we will meet here tomorrow think of how will teach him a lesson and make him understand that sometimes it's better to wait for one's time, I will also do the same then when we meet here tomorrow night we will execute our plan okay, I think I will bring the mother along too.
See you tomorrow oh! I can't wait the boy deity exclaimed obviously excited.
