My Princess! where did you go? Princess Elenna asked...
Did you miss me, mother?
Yeah but that's not really it, you were so busy that you didn't even have time for your little friend Ehi!
Mother I..... Who dared? Princess Ayanna suddenly sneered.
Ayanna's Mother "...."?
Hauwa "...."
My Princess! Hillary was instantly by her side.
Ayanna? what is it? Princess Elenna was surprised by the sudden change in her daughter's disposition.
Mother, I can feel Ehijiator's aura very far away and he is very scared and the people surrounding him are really powerful and also almost obscure they have definitely kidnapped him. He is not in a good place for children his age.
Who are they? Princess Elenna asked.
I don't know mum but am going after them, just that, it's strange for I can't clearly see these people their auras are strong too they are definitely strong and maybe a handful for me to handle with Hauwa alone, Ayanna said.
If even you feel like this, then let's go see your father, perhaps, he will send some people to go with you, in this world, there are powers many even more powerful than you, you don't have to do everything on your own daughter.
It seems it's you they want, I would suggest that you shouldn't even go let's inform your father to send some of our powerful exponents to go get Ehijiator back, Princess Elenna said. They must have been watching you or how did they know the boy is attached to you?
Ahhh! I don't know.... mother! Ayanna started.
I know! I know! you won't stay still but I still insist you go with our stronger exponents, change let's go see your father.
Yes, mother!
Soon they hurried to Prince Martinz quarters and met him playing scrabble with the crown Prince. It didn't take long for them to explain the situation, to Prince Martinz, knowing how important the kid was to the Princess and he was even taken on his way home from the Palace after seeing the Princess they had to move.
However, all plea to Princess Ayanna to let the others handle his rescue fell on the adamant Princess.
Prince Martinz then summoned the strong exponents he controlled and explained the situation to them. They soon left since it was the Princess that could sense the boy she led the way she closed her eyes and concentrated hard the place seems to be way somewhere underground.
Where she appeared to look like some town well arranged and everyone going about there business, they did not seem to have noticed her presence at all. What is this place? the other people with her soon started appearing where she was.
There was a shield covering the town like a membrane when she tried to reach out and touch it she couldn't, what kind of place is this? There was a very strong force of presence to the place, a scary power was at play in this place is this place still part of this world, or are we in another dimension?
As this taught ran through her head Ayanna's face fell, but looking at her she was calm and looked unaffected by any of it.
The level of power at play here, this oppressive presence was not affecting the people going about their business here it seems to affect only them that are outside the village there should be a half-god or ancient god at play. Ayanna immediately activated the beads of mother Idia that will push her power to that of half an ancient God since the beads of the mother Idia was on the same, she was an ancient God both her physical and spiritual power was half way to a true God.
why was Ehijiator brought here? she asked no one in particular. Do any of you know where we are? she asked turning to stare at the exponents that followed, her there.
Apart from the very sense of danger surrounding this place, it was also rifted with beauty it was simply breathtaking everyone was blown away by it the danger was what was keeping them in check.
Suddenly Ayanna could hear whispering but the word was not clear, so she moved closer to see if there was a way to access the town, they were already here they won't be leaving until they got Ehijiator out of there.
They were surprised that once they were close to the membrane like covering a portal like door opened up for them to step through which Ayanna swiftly did and Hauwa and the exponents that came with her followed suit too.
The whispers were clearer now, the faint voice seems to be calling to her, she turned to Hauwa and asked do you hear that?
Hear what Princess? don't hear anything, Hauwa replied.
So you don't hear it that voice calling to me? Princess Ayanna asked them all.
However, they all shook their heads looking flustered, Princess is this place good or bad?
I am not really sure what this place represents but am going to get to the bottom of it all and poor Ehi is somewhere in this place.
Now she hears it the voice is saying .... come my child... come great one come.... then fades...
The voice beacon and she follows the urging and seems to know where to go, keep close everyone. They saw the villagers but the villagers seem not to see them or just plain ignored their presence.
They were on a road that was flanked by farmed crops on both sides going for miles on end apart from the farms was a thick forest. The people of this place could be seen on these farms doing one thing or the other some were singing while some were gisting among themselves as they worked. The sun was up ahead it was past noon.
Soon they got to a part and Ayanna followed it, this part was taking them close to the edge of the forest.
