TALE OF A CHANGELING

Episode 9

There's nothing more painful, heartbreaking, and depressing than being an Ogbanje, this is a well-known and most hated being in the land of Achala.

Centuries ago there had been a lot of records about an Ogbanje, one after the other it keeps happening in the majority of the villagers household, and of course, they were never spared, they went through a lot of painful tribulations in the hands of their people, some of them were sequestered till doldrums kill's them some were even buried alive, some were hanged while some were burnt alive, indeed it was a very big abomination to reincarnate into the world again, people of Achalla see this as a very big crime, life is meant to be lived once why will someone reincarnate into the same family it means he or she is evil? These were always their words.

Years after the enormous wipeout of the Ogbanjes, in the land of Achala there was no news about an Ogbanje in any family, the strict and mean behavior of the people of Achala had successfully sent it away, everyone was alleviated at this news, women now became happy to give birth unlike before when they were disheartened that their baby might turn into an Ogbanje.
