Chapter 14 - THE MIGHTY SWORD

The following day was Saturday, after my encounter with Misha in the battlefield.

Saturdays were usually busy days for me and the entire household till evening. It was a special day dedicated for sanitizing the entire house and surrounding. It was a day i had freedom to wake up late to heal from other days' early engagements, but due to my proposal to visit my mentor Mr OGBONNA, I hastened up and went straight way begining with my own room then extended to the rest of the house before others would awake from their sleep.

By 12 noon, I was already dressed and obtained permission to see my mentor.

"Weldone David! You have done well and worked really hard. Take this for your transport and return before the sun whiles down." my aunt said handing me a thousand naira note. This was actually more to what I needed for transportation.

I hurried out. After a little while, the motorcyclist alight me at the home of Mr OGBONNA who was very excited to see me.

His wife served us a quick meal. After eating, he recommended we take a work down into the woods.

Mr OGBONNA had a beautiful man-made mini forest cultivated mostly of malina trees. There were some seats constructed within with pens for animal dwellings such as birds, rabbits, etc.

This actually was one of the most beautiful days I spent with Mr OGBONNA. Well, it seemed every new day spent with him was special. There was no need wishing if I was given birth to by Mr OGBONNA because that's exactly the love and attention plus tutorage I received from him.

I narrated all that I saw in my dream and he stood up, went and cut a leaf then returned back and began to counsel me.

"David! It was a terrible mistake for you to have entered into such a covenant with Magdalene. She is holding on to such to keep you troubled. We must pray for the covenant to be broken."

He then asked me to kneel and began to pray for me and abolish every covenant I had entered with Magdalene.

After my meeting with him, I returned home. During the night, I found myself again on the battlefield with Misha and her demons.

This time around she was all angered and terribly fierce. Her demons surrounded me, encroaching fast upon me ready to devour.

I had only one option; to fight or be killed. Without a second thought, I wanted to turn but became excited when a mighty force lifted me off the ground into the air.

The demons flew after me hastening to sink their claws into my flesh but I swung myself upon them and they melted into smoked leaving me with only Misha. Later I would understand that these banished demons that had turned into smoke were swallowed by hell and chained never to be released again.

Misha stood from her throne and started heading my direction; "David! I have given you the chance to have me pardon you but now you leave me with no choice than to destroy you. You are no match for me! Unless you agree to allow me dwell in your soul, I shall destroy and plot out your name forever." Misha warned.

Before I could tell what was going on, she rose into the air and pounced on me heavily. I pushed her off and dusted the dust that clustered on my body.

I placed my left knee to the floor and stood to my feet willing to put an end to this beast of a demon.

"Hahaha!!!" She laughed mystically "You are but a small lad you human. I have existed for thousands of years. Today! I will take your head to Lucifer and be liberated of this curse." She said charging at me.

As I watched her charging towards me, I saw her changed into an ancient body and her head splitted into large heads of a gigantic serpents.

With her tail, she swung me to the left and I fell some miles apart.

I was broken and too weak to rise again. I was losing it! fear began to grip me as my body jittered. I turned to my sword and saw only a little light sparkling over it.

Not knowing where to turn as Misha was fast approaching me, I cried out to the Lord with a loud voice; "help me Lord!!!"

Before my voice could travel some distance I saw a mighty ray of light descending from heaven. The speed to which the ray descended was massive and beyond the human measure of the speed of light.

The ray stroked the ground and it tore apart quaking quickly.

Dust rose into the air and descended, then I saw that the ray had formed into a mighty sword that reached the heaven.

And I heard a voice saying; "I send forth my word and He heals and delivers them out of their afflictions. Son of the most high God! Rise and take hold of the sword."

Trembling from where I lay, I rose to my feet and went for the sword but I was so frustrated when my hand could not reach to its hilt.

Then my eyes fell at the blade and saw a bold inscription! "The word - Jesus Christ the savior!"

I lifted my eyes to the hilt and felt dreadful about my inadequacies.

"Hahaha!!!" Misha laughed wickedly "I said it before! You are just but a lad who can't lay hold of the sword, hahaha!!!"

She disappeared while I stood protected and shielded by the light that emitted from the sword.

As I watched Misha flew away, I saw three demonic forces more powerful than the demons that surrounded me appeared on the air and spoke with Misha.

"We have been released from the abyss by Lucifer to help you overcome the lad. The sword is waiting for him until his growth. He will do everything to grow and defend his destiny. Follow us Misha! There are mysteries we must master inorder to retake the destiny box and bring the head of David to the dungeon." They told her then joined hands together and flew away.

I rose to my feet hearing the voice of one like he who sits upon the throne and an angel descending through his sound

"From time memorial, this," he said pointing to the sword "has remained the weapon of ages with which men of valor overcome the enemy.

Son of the most high God! Your training for today is accomplished! Rise and return to the word."

I rose to my feet heading towards the sword until I entered into it and woke up from my sleep.
