In the compound of mazi nna nna, the compound is now in unidentifiable state after the recent beast attacks.
He walked into his compound with his family still daze about what he saw. "god's of our ancestor when will this stop" mazi nna naa said while looking around within his compound.
"my husband please let's thank our ancestors that no one was hurt, what will I say my enemies will laugh at me." maluife mazi nna nna wife said while putting things together her son omalinze and chinyere her daughter joined her in arranging the compound.
Mazi nna nna sighed helplessly "maluife I know, but it's disturbing you know. I can't take this anymore." he said and walked to the big mango tree, he sat down on his seat with a solum expression written on his face.
"I wish aguda is united, I missed the olden days the peaceful days." maluife said to herself dreaming of the peaceful olden days of aguda, if indeed a sear fore told her of the future war back in the the day's, she would say no and won't believe a thing.
Now the reality is dawn on her, the strong gets stronger while the weak gets bullied every day. "such is life my dear wife. we are now weak I know that agbatu fought for what is right." mazi nna nna's mood changed
The air surrounding him became gloomy. he remembered the words of his father and grandfather, they were both killed in the civil war aguda fought last.
He could only blame himself for not awakening his magical powers and cultivate them, bitterness rose from his heart to his mouth causing him to spit out his saliva from his mouth.
"Pa pa did you think this beast are doing this in there own accord. they are being manipulated by a powerful shaman or dibia, I mean a magic expert." omalinze said while doing his works, he knew nothing about supernatural powers there system and how they are classified.
"I know that magic is at work and the enemies of aguda are doing everything possible to divide us and creat chaos. we are already divided, united we stand divided we fall. aguda has already fallen it will take a great effort and willpower to unite this great fallen empire."
Mazi nna nna sat at his usual spot under the mango tree his thoughts ran wild as he gaze to the sky.
"Chukwu okike abiama are you seeing this your people are suffering from the hands of their enemies and yet you keep looking at us. What have we done wrong or is it that we mortals choose to chase after power. This power came from you the creator of everything, you made it possible for us and we took such advantage to our own liking."
He took a fire wood and tossed it into the fire before him, it made some crackle sound. "omalinze! omalinze!" he called out to omalinze his son. omalinze ran from his hut to the mango tree were his father sat.
"Pa Pa you called me?" omalinze asked and his father nodded in aknowlagement while gesturing him to seat down. he let out a warmth smile as he sat while his father clears his throat to speak.
"omali my son I have seen you are now growing up." omalinze hearing his father's words went into deep thought. "omali omali" his father called him back to reality with a caring and loving tone, that can calm any troubled souls down.
Omalinze came back to reality and apologize. " pa pa am sorry, I was carried away by your words" he said as confused expression written all over his face.
"do you have any questions to ask son" mazi nna nna said while silence permitted for a brief moment.
omalinze looked at his father in deep thought before moving his lips "Pa pa am curious why aguda is in deep war with each other" omalinze asked the most question that has been troubling him.
Mazi nna nna view of him soared high, he felt elevated that his son can think like a grown man and he became solum.
"my son it's a long story, it dated after aguda grew stronger and subdued all kingdoms tribes and clans in the African continent." he paused and sighed helplessly shaking his head.
He looked straight into his son's eyes. "with great power comes great responsibilites, our family were among others who produce great men with supernatural powers. men that can move mountains with just a finger amongst them are also another special ones."
Omalinze listening carefully to his father's words. "they are called seekers of truth core legacy warrior prince or warrior princess." he paused while omalinze digest the information he heard.
"They are feared and respected amongst other magi warriors and magic wilders. they fight for the peoples and they bring even the emperor to justice if he is found guilty. they only obeys the great prince, prince of aguda or the devine prince."
Omalinze hearing this thought of himself as the great prince, he imagine himself fighting in the Frontline with no fear like god of war, soon he came back to reality.
"We have been waiting for the devine prince for thousand's of years. the emperor and the black moon sect waged war against the great prince and his allies fiery sun sect."
"The war lasted for many years, the innocent suffered the most from the hands of the emperor and the black moon sect." he paused and his gaze fell on omalinze. mazi nna nna sighed as he remembered his father and their ancestors that perished in the war.
He became gloomy, "their powers combined were too much for the great prince, so he banished himself with the omega sword of truth waiting for the devine prince, the true son of heaven's in the hidden realm"
Omalinze became puzzled after hearing his father's words, he paused his lips as he has been listening attentively to his father narrating the story to him.
"what happened next?" omalinze asked breaking the silence. his father sighed multiple times while looking at the sky.
"The emperor was killed by the assassin's sent by the black moon sect and his brother took control of the throne, ruling some part of aguda empire while the black moon sect and their allies rule some other part of the empire. they kept pressing forward to take over aguda."
"Her kingdoms tribes and clans, things became difficult after the war and justice were no more served, people were taken forcefully for slave." mazi nna nna said looking at his son while he smiles warmly to him.
