In the middle of the night, Governor Babida carried the wounded imperial sentinel and guided by the henchman Polo, they reached a hideout.
They were now far away from the walking tornado, the new devilish creature of Edimo, the god of ruin.
The center of Okunde village was in turmoil. Many inhabitants were killed and the survivors tried to escape from the calamity and find a sanctuary.
"Your Highness, you may wait over here!" suddenly suggested the aide-de-camp Polo who then marched alone toward a big stone.
He looked around to check whether there was any suspicious movement and saw nothing.
So, he took out from the right pocket of his silk trousers a bottle containing an undefined potion that he drank before pushing with all his strength the gigantic stone that was blocking the entrance of a cave.
And as he was shifting the rock on the side, the light of a petrol lamp powerfully lit the way.
