Tears almost drop from my eyes as she was expressing herself, I will surely miss her cus with the couple of days we have spent, she has been my constant companion all time, she love talking to me alone and most time we discuss about our differences which is the human world and the monsters world.

Moremi : I know it’s too early to say goodbye, if possible I would follow you down to where the egg of life is, but it’s not my fault, you all should forgive me.

Before I go, let me tell you about the egg of life. The egg of life is being layed once in one thousand years and it’s being protected by the most powerful monster in this forest called ojiji (shadow)..no living soul enter there and comes out.

Ojiji is very powerful that even all monsters in this forest is afraid of see him.

Me : but how are we going to get the egg since the monster is very powerful?
Moremi : the only way you can get the egg is if he is asleep, cus he only sleep once in two hundred years, and he has his eyes all over the egg even when he is sleeping, the egg is being connected to his heart, so if you touch it he will know ..

Blanny : so what can we do to get the egg from him, and how do we know if the two hundred years was yesterday or even one hundred years to come?

Moremi : the seventh day of your journey makes it two hundred years, so he will sleep in two days time.. the only creature that knows how to get the egg from Ojiji, is called ogbon (wisdom)

Ogbon is the wisest creature in this forest and he is the only one that has faced Ojiji and make it home safely..

Kola : so how do we get to meet ogbon?
Moremi : ogbon lives untop of the highest mountain in this forest, that’s it (she point at a high mountain before us) that’s where he lives.
Vincent : for how long shall will it take us to get there?
Moremi : one day journey..so you have one day to get to ogbon and convince him to show u the secret of the egg of life..

Me : is that all?
Moremi : no, from now on, oneness is your power, always do everything in one mind..i think you should start going cus you don’t have much time..

…. Episode 16 ….

She conclude her statements and she bid us farewell and safe journey..we start moving towards the mountain till she finally disappeared, we didn’t encounter much problem on our way to ogbon’s place cus he always try to secure his territory..

Finally we get to the mountain, to my greatest surprise, everything is being set for easy climbing, cus we climbed the mountain very fast and with much ease. he is truly the wisest creature here (I said to myself). We got to the entrance and we saw two identical people standing in the entrance of his gate..

Me :this must be his guards (I said to others..)
Sege : but why are they much alike?…
Cynthia : maybe they are twin
Vincent : na true sha.. see as them resemble.
Kola : abeg make we waka, no time to check time..

We got there, we greet them but they didn’t answer, we greet them for the second time before one of them asked who we were looking for. We are here to see ogbon I quickly replied.. for what? The second asked..

Kola : we are here to seek for his advice
Guard 1 : what advice does a human needs from a gods ?
Me : wisdom advice sir..please let us in we don’t have much time..

They both looked at themselves and let us in, we enter the compound and we walked for almost 5 hours before we could get to his main entrance..

Sege : nawa o, this one self teey pass the one whey we spend from our previous spot to the mountain.
Blanny : nawa for this ogbon self jare. See night don reach before we even fit see him door.
Kola : this one na real ogbon, the name and everything fit am..
Vincent : like seriously..

We got to the door and it opens, but what we saw made everyone of us opened our mouth wide.. everyone in the building look exactly identical, no difference, the same voice, and eyes. everything were the same no different..

Cynthia : How person wan take know who be ogbon among them now..
Me : don’t worry let’s keep walking..

We entered and we keep walking down till finally we saw, a young handsome calm looking guy, of about 25 years old sitting patiently on a sofa chair..this must be ogbon I said.. No am ogbon someone else answered..

….Episode 17….

We all look back and we saw someone not different from others, he was sitting on a wooden chair busy writing something best known to him…

Me : good evening sir
Ogbon : welcome to my castle, to what do I worth such visit from the outside world?
Kola : we actually come to seek for your help
Ogbon : my help? What help would a human want from a gods who live for thousands years viewing his image day and night?
Me : it’s about the egg of life..

When he hears this, he stop writing and he looked up, his eyes were as white as a snow, so pulsating and beautiful, he doesn’t look like someone who has spent thousands of years one earth, he looks even younger than me..

Ogbon : what did you just say?
Me : we came to seek for your advice on how to get the egg of life out of the hands of ojiji..
Ogbon : do you people know what you are saying? The egg of life is connected to ojiji’s heart, once it’s been touched, he will automatically get there within 30 seconds
Me : yes we know

Ogbon : and you still want it? Do you know how powerful ojiji is? Do you have any idea of what he can do? And what do you all intend to do with the egg of life?
Me : yes we know everything about ojiji, and the egg is to be use to save our dying king’s life.(I lied)
Ogbon : you might know everything about ojiji, but you don’t know one thing
Me : what could that be?
Ogbon : the egg of life is ojiji’s external heart, once someone gets it from him, ojiji will have to wait for another 1000 years before he could get another one, that should tell you how much he will safeguard the egg.

Me : yes we know you are the only one who could help us and that’s why we are here to see you.
Ogbon : sorry I can’t help you guys, go on your own and die alone in the claws of ojiji..
Me : good and fine, if that’s what you want, but before he kill me, will I be able to say a few words to him?

Ogbon : yes, he will let you speak.
Me : good and fine, I will let him know we visit you and you are also part of the plan, let’s see how you survive his wrath this time..
on hearing this, Ogbon stood up with much anger, his eyes turned to red instantly, his hairs began to burn like fire.And guess what he did next?

To Be Continued Tomorrow… Watch out!!!
