SEASON 2--Episode 16

NDI MMIRI KINGDOM

Ajonwa appeared In the house of Ogoli. She had 5 sisters and just a brother. Her Father was late but her mother still lives.

"Who's here?"She said knocking of their door..

Ikemba, Ogoli's brother came out from the backyard with one of his sister and immediately they saw Ajonwa, they knelt down in reverence.

"Greetings my Queen" They chorused

Ajonwa walked around them slowly. "What is your name?"She pointed at the boy

"Ikemba.. Ikemba my Queen"he replied with great fear

"And you?"She asked the girl

"Chinwe.. My name is Chinwe"The girl replied.

"Stand up"Ajonwa commanded the boy and he immediately stood up.
"Are you aware of your sister's conspiracy in the Palace to kill and dethrone me?"

"Ah! Conspiracy? My Queen I know nothing of such. But.. But.. Are you sure my sister can actually plan to dethrone and kill you? My Queen.. My sister is.."Ikemba was interrupted

"Shut up! Shut it.. How dare you stand before me and call me a liar? How dare you?"She landed him a slap that made him fall down
"Stand up fooolll!!"She screamed at him and he stood up. Chinwe was still kneeling down crying.
"I will make you pay for the sins of your sister's betrayal.. Now take this"She stretched her hand towards Ikemba and black smoke began to emit from it and Ikemba fell down dead!
Chinwe seeing this stood up and wanted to run away.
"Not so fast!"She snapped her fingers and sent Chinwe crashing on the ground.

"I just started with you Ogoli.. You will pay for conspiring against me"She disappeared.

THE PALACE

Ogoli was crying seriously while Ebere and Anyanwu were consoling her. The news of her brother's death and her sister being paralyzed had come to her that morning and she instantly knew that Ajonwa was responsible for it.

"If I had known that these whole thing would cost the lives of my loved ones, I wouldn't have ventured into it.."Ogoli cried

"Everything would be fine very soon. I promise you"Ebere said

Ulumma was pacing around in deep thoughts. "Ogoli am sorry about your loss but you have to keep that aside for now so we can concentrate on how best to tackle Ajonwa. We have to stop her before she destroys this whole Land with her quest for vengeance."

"Princess, what exactly do we do? Because am getting tired of all of these.. Ajonwa would stop at nothing but to kill our families so long as she's aware we have a hand in this..am tired, I think at this point, I'd quit" Anyanwu said getting angry

"Listen you all, I left my suckling baby there in my village for the sake of this quest. My village is not safe from the hands of Ajonwa so we are all in this together. Whether to decide to leave, know that Ajonwa is aware already that you were once in the ploy and she has no forgiven heart. She will still deal with you the way she deems it fit" Ebere explained and everywhere became silent for a while.

"I think I need to go back to Umuozara"Ulumma said as she halted in front of the three..

"Umuozara for what?"Ebere asked

"I feel Ajonwa is there..i feel it and I have to face her there..we just have to get over with all these.."

"Ulumma please.. Can I go with you? Remember I have the powers but u don't.. What if she kills you or harms you in other ways?"Ebere asked

"Sister, it's not about the powers but the instinct and No Ajonwa cannot kill me but if she must, then both of us would die together because I must kill her.. So worry no more.. Just stay here and handle things and if you don't see me for more than two days, come to Umuozara immediately!"Ulumma said and Ebere nodded in affirmative

"Give me the staff" Ogoli handed the staff over to Ulumma and she started walking away

"Ulumma!!"Ebere called

Ulumma turned back and Ebere ran and gave her a warm hug in tears
"Please be very careful I beg you.. I can't afford to lose you"

"I promise"
Ulumma held back her tears and ran off.

AGBALA SHRINE

Ajonwa appeared before Nworie,

"You.. why do you keep appearing and disappearing as if u just learnt the act? Invading people's privacy with your stupid with your uncultured acts.."Nworie growled at Ajonwa

She only smiled
"I came to pay you a friendly visit.. I want us to seat down, talk and negotiate"

"Sit with you? Talk and negotiate over what??"Nworie asked in surprise

"Sit let's talk"

"the gods forbid that I give an enemy of the Land seat in my home. So speak up"

"OK.. Very well then"She paused "How would you like to be the King of this kingdom and mine?"

"I don't understand.. King of this kingdom and yours how?"

"I want us to come together and defeat this Land, then we merge Umuozara and Ndi mmiri then you'll be the ruler of both while I'll be your Queen. Sounds nice right?"She said smiling

"You must be the greatest Comedian of the century"Nworie laughed loud
"What a ridiculous idea and you think I'll consent to it? My duty here is to serve my people as their chief priest and not their King. And am not interested in being a king here or elsewhere so take your stupid offer elsewhere"

"Uhmmm.. Since you've decided to be against me, I'll have no other option than to kill you once and for all.." With this, she stretched her hand towards Nworie.

****************

Ulumma was still in the forest making her way to Umuozara when that little boy appeared before her.

"Who are you?"She asked

"Who I am doesn't matter at this point. Umuozara is in grave danger as we speak and you must hurry!" The boy said

"But how do I hurry? Umuozara is still a day's journey from here"Ulumma panicked

"Get on my back"The boy commanded turning his back towards Ulumma

"Now this is funny.. I should get on your back? Would u carry me to Umuozara or what?"Ulumma laughed

"Get on my back if truly you want to save your Land"The boy commanded.
Ulumma reluctantly climbed his back and they disappeared.
