Chapter Twenty
The next morning, before the sun could ride fully, Chris and Christoph had gotten ready to make their journey to Oyo empire to rescue Chris's mother. Before they left, they handed over the training of the one hundred and fifty soldier (150) to Fiona. Fiona gave Chris a kiss on his lips, Chris's cheeks immediately got red with love.
"I will be back don't worry about me"Chris said and they both started their journey.
They left Dahomey as fast as they could, walking all the way down to Oyo empire. After two days of walking, they got to the boundary between Badum and Classai. Right in front of where they had wanted to camp,a large forest stood before them.
Suddenly, Chris Could sense an evil aura around where they had camped for the night. He immediately could hear the movements of long slimmy bodies around their camp.
All isn't well Christoph. I can hear the movement of a creature. It's could be big and I'm sure there are two of them"Chris said to Christoph.
"You are right, Omega"a large Python crawled out of the dark forest.
"I was sure that there are two of you. You are not the only one"Chris said standing his ground.
"You are exceptionally right"a second Python said.
"Who are you?"Christoph asked.
They both smiled and immediately turned into human beings.
"We are the two Arabian brothers"They both Chorused.
Even before, Chris and Christoph could say anything, they both attacked with the speed of light knocking both Chris and Christoph down to their feet. They both jumped up and two swords appeared in their hands each. They (the two Arabian brothers) used their swords in touching each other's swords, the sky opened and lightning fell from the sky striking both Chris and Christoph. Chris and Christoph yelled in pain, being struck by lightning. Chris's eyes immediately turned white. Chris took Christoph's left hand and they both raised their right hand up. The sky closed and opened right above the two Arabian brothers and poured lightning on them. The two Arabian brothers cried in pain and shattered into pieces.

After defeating the two Arabian brothers, they journeyed on till they got to a river that separated Badum from Oyo. As expected, Christoph sensed some movement under the water.
"Don't cross, something is under"Christoph said stopping Chris in his tracks.
The river opened forming two walls as chariots with soldiers rose from beneath the river. The goddess of the Italian sea, being the leader of the warriors appeared standing on the river.
"I am the goddess of the Italian sea. A former god in the council of the IGWESE and here to end your existence"the Italian goddess said with superiority.
We may be ordinary warriors and you may be a god, but we will be the ones that will you and your little things called soldiers"Christoph said
"How dare you insult me? You shall have a taste of my wrath"the Italian goddess said raising her ice sword signifying her warriors to attack.
As expected,her warriors attacked. Chris dealt with the Italian warriors while Christoph fought bravely with the Italian goddess. He used his bending powers in fighting back giving kicks and blows. He used his water bending powers in freezing the Italian goddess but she broke out of the ice. The Italian goddess struck Christoph with her water arrow. Christoph fell to the ground gushing out blood. Fighting with a goddess was not actually easy. He closed his eyes as he used his ice arrow that struck the goddess down to her feet. He stood up and finished her with a huge wave that swept her into the river.
Chris helped Christoph to stand up as the remaining warriors ran into the river. Chris and Christoph crossed the river and got to Oyo empire. Before nightfall, they were able to rescue Rose, Chris's mother.
