CHAPTER 28
Nina's facial expression was gloomy and sad by the time she was searching for Abednego, although she genuinely looked like someone who smiled a lot by the time she met Matendechere.
Her skin clothes she had worn before were so shredded and bloodstained that they weren’t wearable anymore. The right side of her face bared a few cuts along with a split eyebrow. Her right arm was having a scar all the way to the shoulder, which had been shredded when his right side hit hard at the ogrism.
Her injuries appeared to be painful, when in reality she couldn’t feel anything. This was just one of the glories of being a determined woman. One of the challenges she had to face while growing up was growing up with a rare disease that caused her to be completely numb towards pain. Never before had she felt herself get hurt. She could have lost an arm and felt nothing. The other major disorder she h
CHAPTER 29She awoke hours ago to a faint breeze, which tingled down her spine, rattling her core and suddenly was shook by a hot burst of air rushing against her skin. The shock of the chill and sudden burn startled her as she awoke to the sight of bright yellow-green eyes that watched over her that night. For hours now, she had gripped some sheets she found on the bed, depressed on her tongue and has been sweating drops of terror from her skin.She felt the heavy yellow glow press down upon her like a mega-tonne, perversely watching her cower under her soft quilt. She began to grow tired and her eyelids dropped and she was finally at rest for the first time in hours. When she opened her eyes again the yellow light blinded her and without a sound, her demonic intruder was face to face with her; in this moment she shrieked out a primal scream of sheer terror which the creature bathed in with great pleasure, as it seemed to f
CHAPTER 30He had received several information about the disappearance of Abednego and his wife weeks before at the allocation of their child Kipili."They ran and left the boy. Anyway, this child will become a killing machine," he murmured.A wooden box was brought before him by one of his soldiers, the content inside were undoubtedly heads of some of the people who were sent to be beheaded, so they were brought to him as a sign of confirmation. He had agonized over opening it, though, as he was unable to come to terms with what he did to his brother for him to get the kingship. The spirit gave him some signals and finally convinced him that they might provide comfort rather than sadness.With final resolve, he retrieved a dusty head from the box, lifted it up for people to see and shouted loudly,"May it happen to those who goes against my leadership, the s
CHAPTER 31 The entire moment had been nothing more than a dream. Yet, as a large hand rose from the inky waters to engulf his own, Abednego felt his hope slip away just as easily as the the rock he had held so firmly in his grasp. As another arm wrapped around his waist andpulled him roughly against a hard chest, Abednego found he had lost the will to fight and instead he dangled from the man’s arms as pathetically as broken doll. The other wasted no time as he pulled them both from the lake, pausing only to toss the rock back into the murky lake. Before he threw him to the ground once again.Grunting in pain, Abednego turning over onto his back to looking up at the man who now stood towering above him so threatening. Whoever that man was that incensed him into this uncontrollable panic, he was now gone. Shame on you, Abednego, he repeated to himself while making futile attempts to enthrall palpitation to subside
CHAPTER 1 "This place is haunted, the ghosts of people who were killed by Imboko are not in peace. They will rest only if someone avenge for them," the old woman told Abednego. "That king uses supernatural powers, there's only one way to destroy him, " she said. Abednego was now curious, he could not believe what he was hearing. Yes, he wanted that king to be killed, he wanted to set his village free from horrendous murder. Innocent people have been killed, the village was in complete frenzy because of Imboko. He was ready to do anything to bring that village into total freedom, to liberate it from the cruel claws of Imboko. "Yes, tell me," he asked the old lady. "I'am willing to kill that king. I will avenge for the innocent souls," he went on. Mrs. Matendechere was a woman who knew much about the evil spirits in Igodo forest. She told Abednego that it will b

CHAPTER 3 Beneath his long drenched hair, the ogrism's eyes glowed heinous, and with each step the ogrism took, Abednego inched back. Yet, soon the ogrism came to a standstill between Abednego's spread arms before he crouched downward before him. Knowing the figure about him could kill him in an instant, he did not move. Instead his body moved on instinct, completely out of fear, to where he lay flat on his back. Lexus turned his head, bearing his throat, and clenching his eyes shut, he waited for the worse. As the ogrism-man’s body covered his own, Abednego couldn’t help but flinch from the searing contact of the other’s heated skin. Grunting beneath the weight of the creature, he struggled not to fight. Especially as he felt the ogrism's warm breath blow against his throat, with shaky breaths Abednego's chest rose slowly in fear. Hoping his death was quick, his eyes clenche
CHAPTER 4 Later he heard a loud eerie cry that understandably scared him. Headless people, junkies, drifter, hobos. For some weird reason, he always had a pathological fear of ending up like these people. Maybe it was ignorance. These types always seemed naturally repellent magic. Instead of repulsion and fear, he now felt a completely different emotion towards them: jealousy. Some of them might have been mental, granted, but some of them just didn’t care. They lived life on their own terms, not like humans, not society’s. Theirs. Imboko subjected them to that kind of life, torture that caused their spirit to be restless. Abednego took advantage of them being in a cage and started researching about their characters his brain soaking up every bit of information it found. They would sometimes kill each other in that cage by stabbing, or just pushing one another and hitting hard on the metal cage. They were acting in a very
CHAPTER 5 The ogrism tail was the only mechanism to kill the king. The king was using magical powers, in order to nail him, you need to get ogrism tail. Getting ogrism tail wasn't easy, you have to trick the ogrism using magical powers from the calabash, just as Abednego. The second thing was to cut the tail, which wasn't easy, the ogrism have to be fed for a good period in order for them to fall asleep. There you have to use a magical sword given by the old woman, Matendechere. The training was to be conducted by the spirit men. About a moment into Abednego's training, Crasher finally broke it to him, “I am worried about you," he said. “Why?” “This ogrism, from time memorial are known to be too dangerous, a smell of mortal being can't cause them to sleep, no matter how much you feed them." “I have prepared myself for that,” Abed
