"omuolaa oo, omuolaa!! (She has put to birth!)" The midwife announced excitedly to Afam and Onowu.
Afam jumped up in excitement.
"Thank u agbala.. Thank u so much"
He turned to the midwife "How are they? My wife and the baby."
The midwife smiled "actually, babies..she had twins..a boy and a girl"
"Ejima!!"Onowu exclaimed happily
"Can I see them now?"Afam asked
"Not yet my King.. The Queen is been cleaned up but I'll bring the babies now"She moved into the Hut and was followed out by a maid both carrying the babies..
The baby boy was given to Afam while Onowu carried the girl dancing happily.
"He would be called Onochie and the girl would be called Chimma"Afam declared
The next day, a big party was thrown to welcome the Ejima born to the Royal household..
It was like a great feast because there was a lot to end and drink.. The people danced and rejoiced greatly.
The next day after the whole feasting, baby Onochie developed a fever..
"Run..call the medicine woman here immediately!"Ebere shouted at the maid..
"Take it easy, he will be fine"Afam consoled.
Soon, the medicine woman came and administered some herbs to the little baby who fell asleep later on.
The next morning, cries came from the Queen's Hut.. Little baby Chimma was dead!! She died in her sleep..
"But she wasn't sick.."Ebere wailed..
"Onochie who was sick is now hale and hearty.. Why would the girl die when she was the healthy one? This is a mystery.."Afam lamented..

NDULUE'S COMPOUND
the household has known some valuable amount of peace since Adaugo and Omasili finished serving their punishment.
They ignored each other to avoid quarrels and their husband was pleased by this..
"So you two ain't quarrelling anymore!? Wonderful.. UmuAdas need to be thanked..ehehn! Omasili so you can actually tame your sharp mouth? And you Adaugo the lioness.. So your body can be this cold? Odiegwu.."Ndulue said in mockery as he laughed.
Adaugo sat in front of her Hut applying herbs on her head while Omasili sat with her children in front of her own Hut plaiting her last daughter's hair.
Both of them ignored their Husband.
"Nnanyi, I wondered also.. I can't believe this household can be this peaceful for close to a week now"Ekemma laughed
Both Adaugo and Omasili looked at each other and ignored them.
"The gods be praised"Ekemma added
Adaugo and Omasili looked at each other again.
"But why have u been looking at me like that for a while now?"Adaugo shouted at Omasili
"How did u see me if u weren't also looking at me?"Omasili fired back
"I can see you really want trouble.. I have been ignoring you for quite sometime now and you're now thinking am scared of you.. Stay on your own o biko before they say Adaugo has started again"
"And you too, stay on your own before I descend on you again.."
"Descend on who? Do you think am scared of you?!"Adaugo stood up while her pot of herbs shattered on the floor but she didn't care.
Omasili also advanced towards Adaugo
"I will beat u beyond repair...anaghim atu gi ujor (am not scared of you)"
Ndulue turned to Ekemma as they watched the two women in surprise. They didn't think Adaugo and Omasili would fight anymore after the many punishments they received from UmuAda.
The women however continued their banter
"I will deal with u.."
"I will kill you anuofia.."
Ekemma gently went inside her Hut in resignation.
"I give up.."Ndulue said and went in leaving the women to continue their banter.

Nku had accepted Nworie, son of late Onu-agbala into his homestead.
Nworie had explained everything his late Father told him and also gave him the sacred staff.
"You still have alot of things to learn my boy. A lot.."Nku said
Nworie nodded
"Am ready to learn Great one"
Nku nodded in satisfaction "Now get up, let's go into the forest for some little lessons"
Nworie followed Nku into the forest.

THE PALACE
Ebere was carrying little baby Onochie in her arms rocking him to sleep when she saw Onu-agbala.
"what are you doing here? I thought you're dead!"Ebere asked scared
"I might be.. But I live on.. Queen Ebere,ive come to give u a warning from the gods"
"What is it?"
"What is it you're holding in your arms?"Onu-agbala asked
Ebere looked at him confused
"My baby.. My baby boy"
"Throw that baby away.."He said
"Whaaat? I should throw my baby away??"Ebere asked in shock
"That is not your baby.. Your baby will come soon, this child will only bring u pain and destruction.. Throw it away!! Throw it awayyyyyy"
"No I can't. Nooooooo"Ebere screamed and woke up..
It was all a dream...
"What type of dream is this? Chukwu okike"Ebere said holding her chest that was beating terribly.
She walked to the place where her baby was kept and felt his pulse.. He was sleeping peacefully.. She heaved a deep sigh of relief..
