Chapter Twenty- two
Christoph used his powers to summon the four (4) guardians of the land of Water, Earth, Air and Fire. With Selene leading the other three (3) guardians, the four (4) guardians also attacked. They all attacked the camp from everyside leaving no way to escape.As the war raged on,a portal opened in the sky and about a hundred spirits riding on flying horses, flew down from the sky with Particular in the lead and they joined the battle.
THE REALM OF THE gods.
The five gods,all seated on their thrones with their staffs beside them watching the battle from a screen in front of them.
"Why did you allow our forces to go into battle when you know very well it's a trap?"the god with the Red saff asked the senior god with the yellow staff.
"I do know very well that it's a trap, that's the reason I prepared for it"the senior god says.
"But the chief priest of Oyo has the BLACK AXE OF DARKNESS and you know very well that axe weaken our powers and anyone who uses it can get away with his wrong deeds"the god with the purple staff says not relenting.
"That's why he said he prepared for it"Thor says finally speaking out and continues.
"From the look of the war,our forces are making a head on and prevailing against the other. The king of Oyo along with Ezemuo planned to allow the other empires to fight with Dahomey knowing fully well that we are going to help Dahomey. When the soldiers from the other empires are defeated, the chief priest will weaken our powers making our spirits to come back to the realm of the gods. The soldiers of Dahomey will by then be rejoicing thinking they are free, that is when the six(6) million soldiers will attack"Thor says looking at the senior god to take over.
"I have planted a way to unlock the rage and fury we locked deep in the heart of the Omega. They can weaken our powers but not the powers of both the Omega and Confessor. I will make them both gods in the eyes of Oyo empire and they will cry for mercy for all the atrocities they had committed. Don't worry my fellow gods. Just watch how it goes"the senior god says smiling.
THE DESERT OF DAHUM: The battle field
The battle raged on being a horrific sight to behold. The soldiers of Dahomey along with the spirits from the realm of the gods seemed to have prevailed. In a day, the seven hundred thousand soldiers (700,000) from the other empires were wiped out and killed. The lifeless bodies of seven hundred thousand (700,000)men layed on the ground giving the whole area a terrible sight to behold. The one hundred and fifty - one (141) soldiers of Dahomey who had survived raised their swords and rejoiced calling the names of their gods. This went on for a while as they praised both the Omega and the Confessor until.......
Ezemuo stood at the top of the mountain staring at the rejoicing soldiers of Dahomey. He smiles as he brings out the BLACK AXE OF DARKNESS. He stretches it out and the axe floats from his hand. The presence of the axe brought about dark clouds that covered the sun.
"Aserate... Letrium.... Sintus"Ezemuo chants as a huge dark magic strikes the sky creating a huge hole in the sky.
Just like a vacuum,all the spirits from the realm of the gods including Particular gets sucked into the hole. This causes confusion as all the spirits fly violently into the hole. The power was so strong that it took effect on the gods making the gods fall to the ground,stiff. The Oyo soldiers suddenly match out from the borders of Dahum causing the soldiers of Dahomey to tremble in fear.
"Don't fear soldiers. Let's show them that we may be small but mighty. Charge!"They attacked the Oyo soldiers. Christoph along with Selene and the other three guardians that were not sucked in also attacked.
"Chris your back!"Fiona shouted as Chris dug his claws into the Oyo soldier at his back.
Fiona sees an Oyo soldier trying to stab Chris. She runs with every strength in her, she stands in Chris's back as the Oyo soldier stabs Fiona instead of Chris. Chris holds Fiona as he falls to the ground. She spits out blood trying to say something.
"Don't die. Don't leave. Please don't"Chris said pleading in tears.
"I love you"Fiona says and dies.
Chris skipped a heart beat as tears poured out uncontrollably. He cried and yelled it was as if he was being tortured. Ten soldiers surrounded him about to attack but didn't have the courage.
