Oya invites Aya and Babalu-Aye over to heal Eve and her new husbands. Oya sits in a corner drinking alcohol.
"Gbogbo wa ti pari nibi." ("We are all finished here.") Said Aya.
"O ṣeun, Emi yoo fẹ ti o ba duro pẹlu mi ati awọn mẹrin wọnyi nibi." ("Thanks. I would like it if you stay with me and these four over here.") Said Oya.
"Iwọ yoo dara. Ti o ba nilo ohunkohun pe mi ati pe emi yoo wa nibẹ ni akoko kankan, o dara? Bakannaa ọkan ti a npè ni Peaches dabi pe a bi i pẹlu wundia kan. Boya idi idi ti Efa fi gba a là nipa nini adehun pẹlu rẹ. Awọn eniyan ti o wa ni Erekusu Nibo ti o ṣẹṣẹ fi ikorira silẹ awọn eniyan ti a bi bi bẹ ati pe ti kii ba fun Efa ati iwọ yoo ti ni ilokulo titi o fi ku." ("You will be fine. If you need anything call me and I will be there in no time, okay? Also,, the one named Peaches looks like he was born with a Virginia. Maybe that's why Eve saved him by getting engaged with him. The people on the Island where you just left hate people born like that and if not for Eve and you, he would have been abused till he died. ") Said Aya as Oya is too dazed by those words.
After some time the two gods take their leave. Oya brings out a calabash from a clay pot with some sand inside. She takes it outside and blows the sand into the air as it takes the form of two little children. A boy and a girl, Aanu and Ayo.
"Hey, awọn ọmọ mi ẹlẹwà! Mo padanu yin meji pupọ." ("Hey my lovely children! I miss you two so much.") Said Oya with a wide smile on her face. "Sọ fun mi nigbawo ati nibo ni MO le wa gba ẹyin eniyan?" ("Tell me when and where can I come and get you guys?")
"Daradara niwon o wa lori Erekusu ti a wa lori o le gba wa lati ile-iṣẹ itọju ọmọde." ("Well since you are on the Island that we are on you can get us from the child care centre.") Said Aanu the female twin. "Ayo ṣaisan ṣugbọn ara rẹ dara pupọ ni bayi." ("Ayo got sick but he is feeling much better now.")
"Bẹẹni! Mo fẹ ki o gbe mi! Jọwọ mummy!" ("Yeah! I want you to carry me! Please mummy!") Said Ayo joyfully.
"O dara Emi yoo wa nibẹ kan dimu jẹ ki n wa ipo rẹ." ("Alright I'll be right there just hold on and let me find your location.")
Their conversation ends as Eve wakes up. She groans in pain as she sits up. Oya goes up to her.
"You should take it easy. You should rest a little bit." Said Oya supporting Eve's balance.
"Teach me how to get stronger and fight better." Said Eve.
"Why do you want to do that?" Asked Oya out of curiosity. "Aren't you good just the way you are? After all the way I fight and my strength is not human and you can not be as strong as me..."
"Strong enough to fight in a war. That is all I want. I don't have to be as strong as you besides the energy you give is enough for me not to try to pick a fight with you. I am already married to three men and I couldn't protect them from those Mercenaries that attacked us... I feel like a failure."
"Eve, I will teach you how to fight but just know your training will be hard. No pain no gain."
Just some miles away from where they are the Mercenaries they had left back at the island. They had gotten to a small village and raided the village. They had captured the Prist of the village and gave her a fabric that one of them had torn from Oya's cloth.
The Prist did an incantation on the fabric, as the Prist tries to get answers for the Mercenaries the fabric turns into a long and large rope. It curls around the Prist neck and the necks of the mercenaries suffocating them. It carries the Prist up in the air and slams the priest to the ground instantly killing the Prist. Turns out that Oya felt the spell coming from the Prist and killed the Priest.
The Mercenary second in command goes to their supreme leader to tell him that the Priest that they told to find the person that had attacked them days ago has been killed within seconds of doing their duties.
"So who we are dealing with is a bigger problem than I thought." Said the Leader thinking.
"What should we do? We are looking for three people now." Said his Second in command.
"Well it will be hard to do that, also we weren't able to get the identity of the other person. So what we will do is place a bounty on the two and add an extra prize for the other person that was with them. Post this online and on posters. Let it be ten thousand Lunar."
With that said the men got to business. While the men were busy doing their duties, their captain, the big boss went on a stroll through the forest. He stopped for a little break and sat under a tree, after a while he felt a small tap on his body. He opened his eyes and saw a small child holding a fruit in his hand.
"What?" Asked the captain but the child didn't answer. "What is that in your hand?" The child still doesn't answer rather it hands him the fruit which he takes. The Captain looks at the child one more time before taking a bite. All of a sudden a painful shock goes up his body as darkness consumes him.
***
Oya had located the hut in a close-by town where there are people. By this time everyone was awake but still weak. Oya leaves them to go buy some things from the shopping list she had made. As she was buying one of the last items on her list she sees an old friend of hers among the goddesses, Athena.
"Atina...!" ("Athena...!") Oya called out.
"Όγια! Χαίρομαι που σε βλέπω εδώ. Πώς είσαι;" ("Oya! So nice to see you here. How are you?)
"Mo wa ti o dara! Mo ti o kan wá nibi fun ayipada kan ayika ati adventuring ibi. Sugbon mo si tun ko lero akoonu pẹlu ti o. Ṣugbọn eyikeyi ọna, ohun ti o ṣe nibi?" ("I'm good! I just came here for a change of environment and adventuring places. But I still don't feel content with it. But anyway, what you doing here?")
"I'm here to find the useless piece of shit that have depths to pay. Both life and powers!"
They continue to share their stories. After some time, they started heading to a tavern called The Flying Inn. They sit at the VVIP Room drinking beer and eating meat.
"Hey put things you just bought away."
"Oh right."
Oya opens a portal that leads to the hut, she places the items in the portal sending them to Eve.
"Oya, άκουσα από την Orunmila ότι εσύ και η γήινη φίλη σου πηγαίνετε μέρη... σαν να ψάχνετε για κάτι. Τι κάνετε πραγματικά;" ("Oya I heard from Orunmila that you and your earthly friend are going places... like you are looking for something. What are you really up to?") Said, Athena.
"Lati so ooto... Emi ko mọ looto. Mo kan fẹ ṣe ìrìn. Emi ko mọ looto pe Emi ko ni ipinnu fun bayi."("To be honest... I really don't know. I just want to adventure. I really do not know I have no aim for now.") Oya tells Athena
Athena keeps quiet for a moment and takes another drink.
"Μπορείς να έρθεις μαζί μου και τον επίγειο φίλο σου στον Έμπαγκοτ". ("You can come with me and your earthly friend to Ebbagoth.") Said Athena.
"Atina. Efa jẹ eniyan deede ti ko si agbara ti o kọja tabi o yẹ ki n sọ agbara nla. Ti o ba lọ sibẹ o le ma ṣiṣe ni ọdun kan." ("Athena. Eve is a normal human with no supernatural power or should I say superpower. If she should go there she might not last a year.") Oya says.
"Μπορεί. Τα πράγματα έχουν αλλάξει. Οι κανονικοί άνθρωποι μπορούν να πάνε εκεί και κάποιοι που είναι "ειδικοί" είναι επίσης εκεί. Το ξόρκι που τοποθετήθηκε εκεί έχει σπάσει και αντικατασταθεί. Μην ανησυχείτε δεν είναι ένα ξόρκι που θα σκοτώσει κανέναν. " ("She can. Things have changed. Normal humans can go there and some who are 'special' are also there. The spell that was placed there has been broken and replaced. Don't worry it is not a spell that will kill anyone.") Athena confirms.
"O dara. Emi yoo ronu nipa rẹ. Mo ti gbọ rẹ."("Alright. I'll think about it. I've heard you.")
Athena smiles as she clicks their cups. "Το δίδυμο μου από τη Νιγηρία από άλλη μητέρα!" ("My Nigerian twin from another mother!")
Oya eyes Athena as they laugh together.
After they were done having fun they started heading home. As they were on their way to Athena's place for a little trade Oya needed to use the bathroom She saw a nearby house and walked up to it. She knocked on the door, and a small young boy answered her. The child asked her what she wanted and she tells him she needs the bathroom. The child allows her in and shows her the bathroom.
When she was done as she washes her hand. She hears people talking and saying all types of racial slurs. She then changed her pigmentation to a white person's. As she steps out of the bathroom she came face to face with a KKK member, also she could sense that the individual had a supernatural power.
'Wahala wahala wahala...' Oya says in her head.
Meanwhile, Athena is waiting for Oya while she drinks from a canteen. She hears glass crashing to the floor followed by a loud thud. Oya grabs her by the hand with her bloody hand and runs away from the building.
"Τι συνέβη?" ("What happened?") Asked Athena.
"A ńlá sanra eya isoro!" ("A big fat racial problem!") Says Oya. 'I can't have peace anywhere I go. God have mercy.'
*5 MINUTES LATER*
Oya and Athena are in the hut covered with blood from head to toe. Eve and her husbands are too shocked to say anything.
"Miiran erekusu isoro miran. fokii! Mo korira yi erekusu!" ("Another island another problem. Fuck! I hate this island!")
Oya blasts a large hole in the wall of the hut and splits a part of the forest in half.
'She bearly touched the wall and there is a large hole in the wall. How crazy and how powerful is she? Also, who is that?!'
"Hey everyone how are you doing." Oya greets them. "This is Athena. The goddess of war, she's from Greece. "
"Hey," Athena says with a smile.
No one in the room could say another word but their mouth was agape.
