These people know who I am Ayanna taught to herself, it's clear from the aura she was getting but how come they choose to kidnap little Ehijiator just so she could come to them?
All these doesn't make sense, therefore, Ayanna became a little on edge, still, she moved on, the sound of their footstep and the singing birds and insect sounds all mixed together giving one an eerie feeling.
From somewhere not far off several pairs of eye stared at the Princess and her entourage as the proceeded with caution towards their destination, they observed her as if there was something they needed to understand.
Ayana felt that she was being watched but she couldn't place where from, she couldn't see anyone. Hauwa and the team of exponents shivered at the oppressive presence.
What is this place? for some time now they have not met anyone again their companions were just the forest sound and wild animals scoring away from their path.
Suddenly, the path that they were traversing came to an end and was blocked off by a massive tree.
Such a huge tree, the top could not be seen as it went on for miles into the skies, they tried to find a way around it but found out they could not penetrate the foliage at all.
Princess Ayanna asked everyone to quieten down while she listened to the voice that had been following them all this will it seem to be emanating from the giant tree.
Ayana went closer to the tree and stood before it. Then she lifted her hands and started inspecting the tree for any sign but after checking all kinds of holes and cracks of it, nonetheless, nothing happened she was almost frustrated how do we proceed she taught to herself.
She then leaned on the tree to think of a way forward, just then the eyes of her colleagues changed and they looked as if in shock, while she felt a vibration on her palms on the tree she reacted fast turning herself around as she moved away, the tree has opened and opened an entrance like a double door would.
There was total darkness and a great suction pulled them all in. Apart from them not controlling their own movement forward all the could see was just the dark world speed past.
Then as suddenly as the suction has come it dropped them on the floor of what looked to be a very beautiful ancient temple, everything seems to be made of jade, the pillars the furnishings as their eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness they finally noticed they were not alone.
There were several people in flowing beautiful white robes that seem to shimmer as the moved.
Princess are we in heaven? one of the exponents asked.
Ayanna didn't respond as much as she tried to access these beings she couldn't, she had no idea where they were either.
Greetings to the sacred one's, it's an honor to be able to see this day we are sorry for barging in like this, we practically had no control over it. My name...
Is Princess Ayanna Martinz you are a great disciple of the revered mother Idia who is also in our midst..... the man who spoke up was a very handsome man who had a faint smile on his face and an almost friendly countenance.
You... you know who I am? Princess Ayanna asked not totally surprised.
A very beautiful and fair woman walked forward gracefully saying, my daughter! look at you...
Ayanna was taken back, great...great grandmother?.. "...."
Yes, child, you are right, I am mother Idia.
All the people that came with Ayanna suddenly dropped to knees and saluted the sacred woman by joining their hands together.
Put your mind at rest child we have some urgent things to discuss with you but before then...
Mother where are we? what is this place?
The woman smiled all will be answered in due time, my child. She turned and made a hand sign to what looked like a knight and little Ehijiator was lead forward wearing a similar outfit as these sacred beings as as soon as he saw Ayanna he came running to her.
Sister you came!
You know I will always come for you little Ehi, are you all right?
Yes, I am! I was told you will come and take me home, this place is awesome sister do you know?
Yes I know Ehi, you can go and play now I will take you home once I finish what am doing okay?
Okay!
The knight then led little Ehi away.
Your friends can go and freshen up Mother Idia instructed, while you and Hauwa come with us to discuss, come my child.
Ayanna and Hauwa were then lead to a massive hall that was decorated with what looked like pure gold, it was blinding and overwhelming for want of words to describe it.
All this while the other people with mother Idia apart from the man who spoke earlier never spoke a word they all just have what seem to be faces that looked like it was about to break into a smile. They were simply beautiful the men included.
I know you must have questions, my child, we will try and answer them for you, don't worry two days here is just an hour in your world so you won't be gone for too long.
Ayanna and Hauwa nodded.
We are known and called 'The Pillar' we are the pillars of the world.
At this announcement, Hauwa was astonished but Princess was not. seeing the shock on Hauwa's face she knew things we're not simple.
Hauwa suddenly, jumped up from her seat and prostrated on the floor and started begging for forgiveness which startled Princess Ayanna.
She got up from her seat also and swiftly went to lift Hauwa up from the ground but Hauwa refused to budge.
Hauwa what... what is it? why do you ask for forgiveness what have you done? tell me.
Princess, we are in the presence of gods.
'....'
We can't... just seat casually on the same table with them? Do you understand what am saying? Hauwa explained.
How can they not understand that these are powerful people and they are just ants before them?
Hauwa, my child, get up!! that's not necessary you are not here as a criminal or on judgment but on our invitation, therefore, you can seat on the same table as us.
