Chapter Twenty- Two
The emotions that flowed all through Chris was overwhelming. His heart beat increased as he stared at Fiona who was lying dead before him. Instinct, told him that he would never see her again but he was wrong.
Suddenly, anger flowed through all his veins, increasing his heart beat and his powers. The anger fusing into every part of his body. Just like an explosion, a loud noise was felt in his mind. His eyes suddenly turned sharp with eyes of fire. The demon in him was unleashed and all he thought was to kill everyone around him.
He gave a loud scream as he stood up. The air waves around him was so overwhelming that the soldiers of Dahomey and Oyo could hardly hold their stance. The soldiers of Dahomey, seeing the sudden turn of events slowly retreated to a safe area leaving Chris to face the whole army of Oyo empire.
THE PALACE OF OYO EMPIRE
Oba sat on his throne, relaxing watching the war from a projection screen. He knew he will die soon. Dying in the hands of his own son was somehow hard to take. Hot tears slowly trickled from his eyes but he wiped them off. Christoph blasted the chamber's roof with 🔥 fire and jumped into the chamber from the roof. He looked around, only to see his father sitting on the throne smiling at him. Surprisingly, his father had two swords on both hands.
"Son, good to see you again. Welcome back home"Oba said smiling mischievously.
Oba threw one of the swords at Christoph to which Christoph caught.
"Come, let's have a duel. Let me see what you accomplished all the time you stayed in the realm of the gods"Oba said standing up.
"Dad, I just came to at least, help you turn from your evil ways. Maybe the gods will forgive you for all your atrocities"Christoph said with an air of compassion.
"It's too late,Son. There's no turning back"Oba said.
Before Christoph could even blink,Oba moved with such an incredible speed and attacked Christoph. Christoph who was lucky to have dodged, looked at his father trying to pacify him, but Oba still attacked him. Christoph fought fiercely with his father exchanging kicks as they fought. Fortunately or let me say unfortunately, Christoph overpowered his father swinging him to the ground. Christoph pointed the sword at Oba, he would have stabbed him right there, but he couldn't still believing his father would change from his evil ways and repent for creating a rebellion.
But his father thought otherwise. Oba couldn't take the fact of his own flesh and blood killing him, so he decided to do something.
"Son,I hope you forgive me for everything bad I have done in life. I hope those who I have made life miserable for and those who I have killed find it in their hearts to forgive me. But I can't open my eyes to see my son killing me"Oba said smiling.
He took a good look at his son,
before Christoph could react,
Oba stabbed himself with his sword and fell to the with eyes open.
Oba had took his life hoping for the forgiveness of everyone he had killed.
He died a good death, turning back from his evil ways before dying.
Christoph could not hold back his tears as he sobbed and cried, laying his head on his father's chest.
It will long till he burned his father's dead body and returned back to the battlefield.
