You made him go against the law, Ayooni seethed. The vision she saw was too brutal to her mind. Her mother was almost raped while she was carrying her and her father was made a murderer.
The teacher smiled uncannily at her. I helped him see what he could do. He was supposed to be the end of me but what better way to make him tainted if not that way? I couldn't have a fill of your mother though. His eyes closed as he relished the memory. She was exquisite, I wanted her for a long time and she gave herself to him.
Ayooni saw more than evil in his eyes. The madness swirling in his eyes like a storm. You are insane and downright filthy Anita said making him laugh. That wasn't the only thing you did right? Yemi pressed.
When he smiled, Yemi could see his blood boil over his smile. It is like he was baiting them.
While Ayu and the men were trying to wrap the body up, a group of guards came to knock on his door. Your Highness, the king has summoned you to the hall. Hope no problem, Ayu said trying to make his voice even. There is an attack on the shore. Somewhere Ayu felt like he was been played on.
I want you to go head-on, his father had ordered but when Ayu got to the shore there were more minors at the border. Tied in between saving the men, women and children who were changed upside down and saving the kids who have been possessed by an unknown force. Ayu struggled to make a decision thus causing the death of three five-year-olds, ten infants and three raped women. Ayu watched as a boy was forced to rape his mother.
Unable to watch any longer he razed fire on them, rescuing the rest of the hostages. twenty more innocents died because of his powers. His heart grew heavy as the sin weighed higher on his head.
On their way back they were ambushed by Aayan's men. Outnumbered Ayu fought with his life on the line to protect his men but the casualties were great. Getting back to the palace Ayu was met with a frightening scene. Wura was getting stoned while her sisters watched in agony. Ayu felt rage rise and his thirst for the blood of those who harmed her rose in his chest but Wura stopped him in time before he could do anything. We have been framed Wura whispered and the sentence was to have our heads.
Wura splayed her hand over her stomach. She had been wearing big clothes to keep the pregnancy from showing before their wedding. The wedding was just a month away and now this. Resigned to save his family, he met Aayan's eyes Let me speak to father.
He doesn't want to see you brother Aayan said. Is that true? Ayu countered. Why do I have a feeling that he has no idea what is going on currently? Don't push your luck brother Aayan sneered. The five-year-old you killed today was my son. What do you think Father would say if he found out his beloved son killed his only grandchild.
An eye for an eye brother. I kill your woman and the little one growing in her womb. When he sees Ayu's reaction. Oh, brother, you think you can keep it away from me. I knew she was pregnant on the day you had her first. You saw the vision but you didn't see me, brother. You couldn't feel my presence.
What do you want? Ayu asked. Aayan smiled coyly. Now easy brother. Your rights to the throne. Reject father's issue to make you the next king and put me there. Then I will let your cunt go and the child growing within her.
Is that all? Ayu asked flatly. Leave Utaka with your people and don't return and oh I need you to meet someone. Tonia smiled behind him. Hello, brother-in-law surprised to see me? I am sorry but my perfect little sister can't just have it all right. Wura felt her heart break into pieces as she watched her sister slither around Aayan. Why? I hate you Tonia said snidely. Wura felt her world turned upside down when she saw the hate evident in her eyes.
Wanting to save her. Ayu followed Aayan to see the king. The king threw a parchment at him in anger. You allowed them to kill so many people before taking action he roared. Ayu kept silent as his father reprimanded him. And the men you took with you. I knew you were capable that was why I sent you. And you allowed the death of ten infants.
The king's voice shook in disappointment. I am sorry Father, it won't happen again. The king took a considerable breath. What's done is done, the next time don't be bothered about the age of the men you are fighting. An enemy is an enemy despite their age or gender.
I want you to ride north this instant with your brother and settle the dispute there. Ayu received the next order knowing this might be the last time he saw the woman he was in love with and he would never see the child they made together.
Well, then you know how the rest of the story was. His sins were too much the gods didn't forgive him after death. They made him cry in agony for decades The Teacher said. That wasn't Tonia, Yomi said.
Yes, Anike said. You used her shadow to do the deed. That was why Wura could not tell because the shadow had no distinct personality. You made Wura doubt her sister thus breaking the circle. And you planned on doing the same thing to us.
History repeating itself, Asani said. Aren't the clever one. The child Aayan claimed was dead is alive Ayooni interjected. I know him, she thought for a while and then raised her head at the friend whom she thought was the closest to her heart walked in.
Hello Kitty, Emman said at the doorway.
