The beat swirled round tolu as she swayed to it in Segun arms she could not remember when last she had this much fun.
"You seemed to be smiling for someone who was reluctant to go out with me." Segun said as he spun her around and held her from behind.
Tolu steped hard on his toes and she gave a satisfying smile when he grunted in pain. "Will you rather I turn into a block of ice in your arms ehn? Fine boy." She said in a teasing way.
Segun just smiled he had always known she would eventually warm up to him even she had not told him she like him too.
"So tolu when are you going to say the word I have been dying to hear all night". Segun asked her smiling.
"What word?" She asked in an innocent way as she started gyrating. She knew what he wanted to hear and he'll will freeze over before she would give him that satisfaction.
Tolu started filling a shiver run down her spine all of a sudden and the air was not could and before she knew it every where was dark and the music started fading with seguns face floating just inches from hers and she could see his mouth move but nothing seemed to coming out from it and gradually both Segun face and the music faded leaving her in total darkness.
'ok ok. Don't panic, don't panic.' tolu kept repeating it in her mind and for some few seconds she could see nothing but pitch darkness and the a part of the darkness shifted revealing a doorway with bright lights in it and she slowly work towards it cautiously putting one leg in front of the other.
Just as she was about to enter she saw Samuel although his back was turned towards her she knew instantly that it was him. She then shifted into the darkness more and listened to the conversation.
***********************
Samuel was shocked to see that in the center of the dungeon a man was bound but hand and feet. The man raised his head and Samuel could see that he had fire for eyes and the lightning from the chain was joining with the one coming out from his crown.
"So you have found a way to break the seal?" The man or whatever it is said, cause Samuel was sure no man could ever look or posses the kind of aura this man have.
"What seal". He asked as he stepped towards the figure and over some calabash with red ropes tied around their necks as he headed towards him.
"The seal in your heart boy." The man voice boomed shaking the dungeon and rattling the chains.
"I don't know of any seal in my heart, and what are you doing in my dreams." Samuel shouted back as he was sure that he was dreaming cause there is no way what ever he is seeing is real.
"How dare you question me?" The man said as his eyes and crown lit up more. "You dare question me, ¹emí sòngú, éno lénu éno lojù, àrà ló ówu kun pelu àrà lorí."
"Am sorry, ²maà bínu. But it's not my fault, what do you expect a dying kid to do when he is dying, I think the bullet that pierced my heart, (that's if all this is not a dream) is what broke the seal you are talking about." Samuel said. "All though I know you are just the product of my brain playing tricks on me before I die. It's nice to meet you anyway."
"So you are dying?" Sòngú said as he rattled the chain as he struggled to move towards him. "You should have said so earlier."
"You didn't ask me." Samuel said In a matter of fact way.
Sòngú just ignored him. "Now place your right hand on the crown on my head and repeat after me."
"³Egbon, there is no way am touching that crown on your head, do how want to kill me?" Samuel said shifting back wards.
"Well someone seems to have forgotten that they are dying any way." Sòngú said with a smirk on him lips. "If you don't touch it we are both going to die.. oh sorry just you, I on the other hand will just be rincarnated into some one else." He said and looked at Samuel in a deadly serious way.
Samuel walked back to him thinking. 'well hat have I got to lose I will be dead either way.'
Samuel felt electric current surge through his vains immediately he placed his right hand on the crown.
"Now repeat these words after me." Sòngú said as his eyes started to glow brighter. "Sòngú ohhh!!! ⁴Àrà pelu éno lorí mo pe eh."
"Seriously?" Samuel asked jokingly. "How is that even going to helpe in this situation." Samuel asked.
"Say it." Sòngú voice boomed shaking the dungeon.
"Ok ok." Samuel said the words and closed his eyes after saying the words then he opened then after some seconds. "Well nothing happened so wh...." All of he sudden he was jolted back to life as lightning struck him from the sky burning his cloths off and then beads started materializing around his neck, wrist and ankles then a red material wrapped around his waist and the wound on his chest causes by the bullet began to heal and started closing immediately.
Jessica was shocked as she saw lightning strike Samuel and he stood up dressed like a harbalist with an axe with red cloth at the bottom of the handle.
Before she could react the man carrying her immediately shoved her roughly. To the ground and started fireing at him.
Samuel stared in awe as the bullets bounced off his body and where did all this muscle come from Samuel asked himself as he moved closer to them.
*********************
Tolu was shocked to see Samuel vanished immediately he placed his hand on the man's crown. Just as she started thinking of what to do about what just happened she suddenly felt eyes burning into her only for her to raise her head to see the man looking straight at her from his bound chains with his inhumane eyes made of fire.
All she could do was stand and stare back as her body refuses to respond to her command to turn and flee back into the darkness. Water started coming out of her skin to pool at her feet. She watched in awe as the water slowly turned into the figure of a woman with black long her and golden looking skin and her hair was adorned with blue pearls and beads.
"I should have known she is your vessel." The man said as he smiled at the lady whose back was turned to her.
"It's been quite a while sòngú, I can see that your vessel has finally found a way to release you although you are not free off your own chains yet." The lady said as she walked majestically towards sòngú.
Sòngú just laugh as he looked her straight in the eyes. "Don't act as if you are unaware that my vessels act didn't give you the chance of breaking out of your vessels heart. You know we are both connected goddess OSHUN."
