Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8 ::- Songs Of The Stolen Ones

In every house holds which there loved ones were captured felt sadness, The air taste the bitterness that rose from their hearts and bear witness to the gloomy atmosphere the pain they felt created

Every powerful warriors and combat mage in every house holds remain calm and collected with there guards up for any unforseen attacks.

In mazi nna nna's compound people began collecting soon the compound became crowded by people's of agbatu clan.

Maluife and her daughter kept on crying there eyes out while there friends kept on consoling them. "Why? why? why? have you forsaken me gods of our ancestors."

"why have you let my enemies take away my joy." Maluife said as pain fills her heart she could do nothing but cry while praying for her son safety.

Not far away from maluife hot some elders gathered about mazi nna nna. he became calmed and collected like a still lake while he ponder on the issue at hand.

Truely in Africa tradition men do not cry if not for this tradition mazi nna nna would have cried his eyes out. He let the negative emotions and negative energy build up he convert it into positive energy for himself.

Which is a great fit for non cultivators, he raised his head up. "Son go well the moon and stars will rise to guide you throughout your journey." Mazi nna nna said while the elders gaze at him silently.

"Mazi nna nna we the elders of agbatu clan are here to sympathize with you as one of the royal bloodline, we can't stand and watch one of our royal bloodline taken as slave to abam."

"Omalinze is one of us and a royal bloodline it is an insult to us agbatu clan to stand and do nothing." Chief Nnayelugo said.

"What can we do, Our king is dead our military power gone like a puff of smoke, We can do nothing but stand and watch hoping for the devine prince which the prophecy talked about."

During the last civil war the empero and the black moon sect assassinated agbatu king and his families leaving other royal families.

The kingdome became weak with no king to protect the peoples.

'If I did have magical powers I would have protected my son' She thought to herself

"We must rase this issue in the next council meeting, We can't stand by and let things be this way. We must fight back and show them we are not push over." Chief ogbuzulu said.

After somany consolation and talks the crowd dispersed and the compound became quite like a grave yard as the day passed and night came

The song of the stolen ones played by mother nature who felt there mood and emotions.

**********************************************

In the council hall the elders of agbatu kingdome were all present as to discuss the issue at hand and forge ahead. The hall is designed and built to hold thousands and tens of thousands of people.

Elders from each tribes clans of agbatu began discussing amongst themselves and the noise it created became to much that whispers travel's from one corner to another.

Chief ogbuzulu stood up majestical and raised his hands while his adored chieftainship attire made him stand out in the hall. "Quite please we are grown up men not children."

Soon the whispers quite down and the hall regained it's normal composure, silence rain as chief ogbuzulu scanned the crowd of elders in the hall.

He clears his throat and speak. " Greetings elders of agbatu you all know during the last war we lost many warriors even our king his family and his soldiers were wiped out by the emperor and the black moon sect."

He paused for them to digest the information they received. "Now we are vulnerable to attacks, we are here today to put heads together and find the way forward. we can't live in fear." Chief ogbuzulu sat down after he finished speaking.

Mazi nna nna stood up he clears his throat to speak as he scan the crowds with his gaze. "Greetings my people of agbatu i am not a diviner nor the goddess of fate, i don't have the ability to see or know your thoughts like the immortals we wish to be.

He paused to observe the impact of his words and continued.

"Your facial expression and your eyes can't hide your heart desire it's like a burning furnac."

"That desire to stand and fight for our survival."

"So let's stand together train our young men into warriors and fight!."

His gaze scanned them and he let loose the fire that was burning inside him for long

"We don't have to fall with aguda! Let's rise and light that beacon of hope Let's show them who we are!!." Mazi nna nna sat down and the elders roared for his speech and suggestions.

They were happy as such thing never crossed there mind in years they have been in such situation.

Chief ogbuzulu stood up as he saw he is losing,

He has been outdone and the seed of jeloasy began sprouting in him , He needed to push harder than ever.

"Calm down my people. i have a suggestion my people." Humans greed and envy are far more than what we think or know.

Chief ogbuzulu's greed kicks in.

"What suggestions will you bring up that is better than what mazi nna nna said." One of the elders said.

"Let's crown one of us king."

He calmly replied throwing the bomb out without care if his motives will be discovered.

"So you mean let's crown someone amongst us king he will take on the duty of protecting us am i right."

Elder onukwube asked to clearifiy.

"Yes we should consider this option, it's best we choose someone wealthy enough to recruit soldiers and sponsor there training." Chief ogbuzulu said shamelessly.

Ogbuagu one of the olden days warriors that fought during the civil war. The most feared and strongest warrior in agbatu but he became weak because of a life treathning injuries and his cultivation regressed.
