1138 Words
With no other options, they decide to embark on a dangerous journey to find the herb and save humanity. Quevo led the group to the village as directed by his late mother in his dream. Ten hours later, after so many hurdles along the way, they finally arrived at their destination. The name of the village is Igboku. On arrival, different scary sounds and beats welcomed them. The land of Igboku is very mysterious; humans don't live there because of the terrible things that have occurred there. People only come there to look for cures and solutions to things because it contains a lot of mysterious leaves that could cure mysterious sicknesses and diseases. Moving forward, they proceeded to pay homage to the gods of the land because that was the tradition of the land so that the stranger could be accepted; if not, there would be a serious issue. So they went to the shrine to do what was necessary; they arrived a few hours later. Something strange happened: the sounds from the places, the leaves, and the trees started chanting Quevo’s name as they knew him before. Quevo was scared about what was happening. They face numerous obstacles along the way, including hostile werewolves, dangerous terrain, and limited supplies. Then Quevo's late mother appeared to him and told him to relax and that nothing would happen to him. It felt more like a party for Quevo, right down to the leaves. The rest of the group wondered if Quevo was known in the land or not. Celebration and jubilation continued in the land of Igboku, all because of Quevo; no one, not even Quevo, understood the reason for the celebration. From nowhere, drinks, food, and a lot of varieties came for the celebration. It was more like a festival for the celebration of the return of a lost king. The people started to wonder why there was so much going on there. Well, everyone at some point forgot about their fears and worries and enjoyed the party to the fullest. His mother directed him there for assistance. Quevo was treated like a king, and his friends also went with him. So, after the celebration ended, Quevo asked for help with the werewolf's calamity that brought him to Igboku village. The spirits and ancestors assured him that he would leave the village with an antidote and that they would do all they could to help him find a lasting solution. While the gods promised an antidote, the people of Igboku held a carnival in honor of Quevo's late parents. The carnival was a big and elaborate one, and people from another village were invited to celebrate with them. And why is that so? Because Quevo’s parents used to serve the deity, that makes Quevo the deity’s child. In fact, as a result of his visit to the village, a lot was revealed to him about his birth. As they get closer to their goal, they realize that time is running out. The werewolves are multiplying, and their numbers are increasing every day. The group must race against the clock to find the herb, create an antidote, and administer it to as many people as possible before it's too late. The werewolves' apocalypse continued greatly in the city of Banawa; people were dying greatly because the werewolves were attacking them in their houses one by one, and nowhere is safe anymore. The people of Banawa kept on hoping for the return of Quevo and the Tanal Group to save them from these calamities. The hopes of the people of Banawa were shattered; werewolves took over the city and dominated every home, killing children while others got infected and also turned into werewolves. The government of Banawa City lost faith and didn't know what to do to save its people from the hands of the werewolves. It became worse to the point that werewolves took over the city; no human was seen walking on the street of Banawa anymore because of fear of werewolves; and a lot of families have already lost their homes to werewolves. The spread of werewolves increased daily in great numbers, threatening the peace and happiness of Banawa, but nothing could be done; they were helpless and frustrated. The external help that the government of Banawa employed to come and assist them all ran away because it was beyond their power. Now, the people of Banawa are just hoping for a miracle because all hope has been lost. Quevo and his team members were worried sick about the people of Banawa, hoping they were okay because they hadn't heard anything from them since they left in search of the curable herbs due to the poor network in Igboku village, and all attempts to reach them had failed. But since the ancestors of Igboku village promised to help him out, his mind became relaxed. As a result of that, consultation started, and they informed Quevo and his teammates that it would take five market days for a shipment to arrive, so they had no choice but to wait. Five days later, Quevo and his teammates were hopeful that the tragedy that had befallen the city of Banawa would be over soon. They all woke up happy, rejoicing with each other. The oracle consultant summoned them to the shrine to give them a response to his consultation with the gods. Finally, a solution is here. Quevo and his teammates were so excited, they screamed and jumped for joy. The oracle consultant gave Quevo some concoctions and gave him an instruction to follow if not everything they labored for will be spoilt. Quevo wasn't really happy about it because he was scared of it spoiling. Well, he encouraged himself, and they left the shrine. After leaving the shrine, Quevo and others began their journey to Banawa City to administer the antidote. Three days later, they arrived, and they were scared because they smelled of danger. They huddled together in the small laboratory, trying to mix the concoction just like the priest had given the instructions. Now, everything is set. The werewolves were already fully packed outside, ready to devour them, but they had to do it. Suddenly, the door of the lab opened, and the werewolves rushed in on them, and they started fighting back, injecting them with the antidote. The werewolves howled in pain, turning back into humans. One by one, Quevo and his teammates injected the werewolves, reversing the effect of the serum. They also started visiting homes and injecting other werewolves they found with the antidote. As the last werewolf transformed back into a human, the city fell silent. Quevo and his teammates converged into the lab, their bodies battered and bruised. But they have saved the city of banawa from the terror of werewolves.
