On the center of iseke river sat a beautiful fair figure on a canu, Her skin is without a blemish and her long hair swayed periodically by the wind.
Making her beautifull face visible and attractive like the goddess of the sea. She is non other than oyibo the royal princess of iseke kingdom, Also the high priestess.
The cannu she sat in kept on moving without being rolled by paddle, She breeth in and out still eyes closed absorbing the mana around greedily as the river flows camly.
"Inner peace." She said the surounding became quiet as silence descended. the water before her rose and gently formed a female humanoid shape.
The cannu came to a stop as oyibo stood up and gave her bow. "Greetings the great water spirit." She said with clear mind.
The water spirit acknowledged her greetings with a nod. "You look warried my daughter" The water spirit said.
"You cam unannounced. I hope everything is fine great one." Oyibo said still feeling troubled. Yet the water spirit smiled at her and the next minutes she became solum.
She stretched out her hand and the soul of oyibo father appeared for her to see. "Father!!" She called out.
"Heed my words oyibo. I have been overthroned by agwuna, So take your siblings to agbatu kingdom and find a man named Ogbu Agu. He is my old time friend."
"But Father! Are you dead?"
He was cut short by his daughter call and question agein.
He looked at his daughter and cast a spell that implanted memories and visual ditails of what happened.
"Am not dead tell him what happened her an show him this." He gave her a small magic mirror that has visual details and memories of what happened and what will happen in the future.
She took the mirror cearfully and put it inside a magical bag "This mirror is a magical artifact that will protect you and your siblings. It has visual ditails of what happened and what will happen to me."
The soul disappeared from there view she could not lay a finger on anything except that her and her siblings ara in great danger.
"What I feard the most has happened" oyibo exclaimed
"You heard him. As my chosen one the water high priestess, I will be with you till the end." The water spirit said and deformed into water.
Oyibo could not believe what just played out as she kept replaying the scene in her head. "My brother my sister." She said.
Oyibo is not like those weak gifted ones, She is also a mage with the added gift of mental power. Her constitution affiliating her to water. This made her the first of her kind chosen one whom has the potaintal of becoming a demi-god deity or oracule.
Any gifted ones that was able to become mage' or magi warrior and can absorbed mana from the mana stone or the environment with great alacrety without the use of spell or technique.
They are highly soth for do to they are one in a million. There magic did not need spell or technique but telekinies the power of the mind and mages fear any mage that has inborn mental power.
Once she thought about his siblings being in danger her mental power kicked in drawing tiny energy from her mana core.
The air became disturbed and the waters vibrated in a serthin frequency. As soon as she stepped his foot on the river, Everything tood still like she has frozen the time and space.
With great speed and momentum she ran off leaving behind an after image.
BOOM!!!!
The door exploded and oyibo came in, She scanned the entire house with her spirit sense but could not pick up any sighn of her siblings.
The entire house were in disaray the valuable properties were taken away while nonvaluable one were destroyed on the spot.
"Am I too late?" She asked herself in disbelieve not coming to terms with what she saw. She knelt down in pains as tears run down her check.
"NO!!!!!!" She screamed backed with a tiny magic powers of hers the house shocked including the ceiling. The ceiling collapsed on the floor exposing her siblings to her.
She heard a familia voice grunting in pain, This brought joy and also uncertainty to her. She stood up and walked towards the fallen ceiling.
Her siblings stood up and there eyes met with each other face to face, They both froze and became dazed for a short time.
Her siblings ran to her and they huged each other. "Are you oky we have get out of this kingdom." She said as she observed there body.
"We have to go they have taken father captive. We hid on the ceiling covering ourself with this artifact when they came for us." Egwu said showing her the animal fury made into a cape with alot of inscription on it.
"The cape of invincibilities" oyibo said as she recognized the magic artifact in her brother possetion.
She thought the world will be meaniles to her if she loses her siblings, They took what they needed for the journey they are yo embark on.
They left the house before setting it ablaze. They stood not to far away watching as the house burns to the ground.
"Sis we have to go now" isindu said still hesitating to leave the only place she call home and grew up. They were all hesitating to leave there so called home.
She held her siblings hand with eyes close and cast a spell [Dance of the Lili smoke] she opened her eyes and s profound light flickerd within.
A sillhust formed by smoke appeared before them. It dance before and about them and stoped. They are now face to face with the smoke sillhust.
"We are now leaving for the task ahead." Oyibo said. The sillhust waved at them before it disintegrated into the environment.
They left the place in a hurry when oyibo found the warriors coming at them with her spirit sense.
They took to there hill as adrenaline began pumping and the warriors gave the a chase. The trio realesed there magic power to boost there speed in excaping from the warriors grasp.
The warriors could not stand and see themselfs loose face, so the released there magical power to boost there speed. The pursuet continued for a long time giving both parties no room for rest.
As the warriors began noticing that there speed is dropping drastically as they give chase. They thought otherwise and withdrew back.
Oyibo and her siblings ran into the forest with great effort. "Sis they will be back" said egwu while panting. His energy reserve has run lower than five percent.
"Let's camp here rest and meditate for the time being." Oyibo said in an advising manner. They did so even setting up some magical measures that will conceal and protect them from harm's way.
