Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

ADEDAYO

*********************

I was floating. At first i was covered in darkness, then i saw auras of various colours surround me. Then the colours began to take form, they became large people, like ten of them or so, then more defining characteristics attached to them as one held an axe and had braided hair, one became a naked woman with very long and elevating braids and apparently the feet of a fish. One wore heavy beads and held a short staff with beads attached to a cloth at it's edge. One appeared bigger than the rest and was white all over with a staff with a few more also appearing.

They all surrounded me with little strands of them attaching to me and then a huge cold wind blew through, chasing them off as a huge blue-green aura appeared before me in the shape of a man with a scaly crown embedded to his head and a snake's tail for legs while holding a trident as he sat on a throne. Of all that has appeared before me, only he actually gazed at me with his dark pupils and then revealing his blade like teeth, gave me a smile that sent chills down my spine as he connected a strand of himself to me. He then exploded before me with white light hitting me off to oblivion and then i woke up.

VICE CHIEF PRIEST OLABODE

*************************

As soon as he was buried, as expected, the atmosphere became heavy with prayers of the people. Then flashes of lightning appeared in the skies with the sound of subtle thunder, warm air filled the square as everybody started celebrating for they believed the Orishas have blessed him with an Ashe. Some even began shouting "Sango" as they felt the thunder was significance that the Orisha of thunder chose him. Then a violent wind blew through the square, colder than the feel of an early morning pond, then i felt it. We all did at the square as everyone fell silent........the aura of an Olossi. For everywhere they went, the breeze of the cold dark sea followed and their disgusting Ashe's aura. The cold wind passed by as well as the Olossi's presence but all the guards picked up fighting stances, scanning the area with the people also arming their Ashe powers for i began to see the Ashe marks of the people in the crowd glow.

Then from the pit, adedayo rose begging for air. I looked at him then the Ashe mark on his chest. I counted them expecting to end at three for Sango, but then it went on and on and then...........by the gods!, A SIXTH ONE!. I shouted pointing at him as the guards all looked at him in shock

"OLOSSI!!!!!, DEMONNN!!!.....HE WEARS THE MARK OF OLOKUN, STRIKE HIM DEAD, KILL HIM!!!!!".

With everyone in the square yelling in response to my shout, the guards take up their spears and rush at adedayo with the aim to kill as he subconsciously clawed out of his pit.
