Chapter Nine
THE PALACE OF THE OYO EMPIRE
Ezemuo enters the king's chamber. The king,Oba seems to be resting. But he didn't care.
"My king,I greet you,"Ezemuo greeted bowing.
"Ezemuo, have a seat let me serve you something,"Oba offered kindly for the first time.
"My king,no worries for that, but I am afraid there is trouble,"Ezemuo said.
"What trouble?",Oba asked looking more serious.
"My king, remember the prophecy that was announced Nine(9) years ago,"Ezemuo asked.
"Yes I remember the prophecy about the said Omega and Confessor,"Oba said.
"My Lord, your son is the Confessor. He is the one that is to bring down the reign of the Oyo empire,"Ezemuo broke out.
"My son?,"Oba asked.
"Yes my king. Your son right now, your son has been taken to the realm of the gods with the Omega by Particular, the chief messenger,"Ezemuo said.
"This is bad,"Oba said feeling sad.
"So, what do we do,?"Oba asked.
"I heard that the Omega and the Confessor are very powerful. We need to gather all the forces of darkness together and lorge for battle,"Ezemuo suggested.
"Okay,"Oba said.
"Not just that,we would gather the two Arabian brothers and the goddess of the Italian sea and you will send a hundred soldiers to Dahomey to surround the city in readiness for war. Gather about five hundred soldiers because this battle is not smiling,"Ezemuo said.
"That will be good. I will do just that,"Oba said feeling relieved.
Ezemuo later left the palace in a bid to get to the Arabian forest a place that is dreaded by both human and spirit alike.
IN THE REALM OF THE gods
Chris and Christoph stand up Chris looks around only to see that they were in a garden.
"Welcome to the realm of the gods,"a voice spoke out from a direction.
They both turn to the direction only to see Particular sitting on a chair. He stands up and the chair immediately disappears.
"Forgive my manners,I am Particular, Chief messenger of the gods. You've already met me in the restroom,"Particular says talking to Chris
Chris nods his head in agreement.
"Follow me,"Particular ordered.
"You know that there was once a prophecy about an Omega and a Confessor long before you were born,?"Particular asked as he was walking.
"Yes we know,"Chris and Christoph both Chorused.
"I was the one that prophesied and luckily for me,I have found the Omega and the Confessor,"Particular said smiling.
"Who are they,"Chris asked.
"Both of you,"Particular said turning to face them.
"We?,"Chris asked giving a questioning look.
