THE MISSION 18
1018 Words
The lion pounced on him again and just when he felt it was over for her he saw himself standing in another space, this time he could see strange birds flying towards him with great speed and he was about to dodge them but they were many and they had already begun to flap their wings on him. Adere fell on the ground and continued to fight it off when he saw him standing before a tall mountain and all of a sudden the mountain divided into two and he saw himself falling in between. He was screaming when he realised himself standing with Kiso on the plain ground and she disengaged her hands from his and began to walk away from him. Adere began to follow her and he wondered why Kiso looked disappointed in him. He could hear Kiso say, "You are not ready yet. Maybe by the time you are to be ready something terrible must have happened to the world of the living. You should do quick Adere and learn as fast as you can and go back to your destiny"
"I want to learn Kiso. Teach me" said Adere and Kiso turned to face him once more, not sure if Adere understood what he was asking for. When Kiso asked to know if he was truly ready Adere nodded and Kiso walked back to him and held him by the cheek. "You need not say it with your mouth of how ready you are and how ready you want to make our dreams come true. There had not been anyone who had done whatever we expected with the ancient beast rather people who had the opportunity to do the bidding of the builders of the skull end up not doing it right or end up disappointing us. I want you to know that I understand clearly of what you mean and of what you stand for but you see you could not defeat the lion, neither could you defeat the birds nor able to escape from the falling mountain. This is why I say you have a lot to learn and when you are true with your learning you will not fear a lion neither will you fear birds or the falling mountain. How can we trust you with the ancient beast and know that you will be able to use the seed of power to control it for the good of the people when you have not showed me and proved to me that you are truly ready. I must tell you that I am willing to make it right for you and I would think it would be necessary to give you another chance to prove yourself, another chance to show how yo can do this for the builders of the skull tribe. This Skull has an ancient understanding and they won't believe you if you tell them, they will believe you if you show them, and so what does this imply? It implies that you have to show me what you are and what you can do for what you show me is what I will show them. If you show me light I will show them light and if you show me darkness I will show them darkness. I pray you understand that you are not like anybody else and that you are different and because of this fact your training will be different and what you deserve for making the builders of the skull proud of you will be different. What are you waiting for? You will have to prove to us that you are willing to do what needs to be done while I remain on this side of the nature and watch how you prove yourself. I like you a lot Adere and I believe that you have potentials and can do what needs to be done. Why do you not believe in yourself. Why do you find it hard to understand that the training you speak of is ongoing as we speak and so if you are not learning from me to might not learn from another. I want you to know that you are a kind person and a very good person too but you are weak and unable to know what to do. If the king of Aba succeeds in putting fear in the hearts of all the people of Aba and beyond what will be your fate, you that gave him so much trouble. You have not heard too that the king has gone to other places and has instilled fear in their hearts and in their homes? You have to shine your eyes son of Aba and do what needs to be done else you will remain and watch your mother whom I have seen wondering with the rest of your fiends in the forest and the king of Aba is looking for you and he will find them. What will you do when he finds your mother Adere?/Will you be able to rescue her from him if you are not ready? How will you be ready if you are not willing to learn from what I teach you. I want you to get ready once again for another side of your training" After Kiso was done she disappeared and Adere waited to encounter another thing, another thing he was not sure was going to come or where it was going to come from..
In the forest just like Kiso told Adere was Adere's mother, Shuru and Shante as they continued moving. Adere's mother who had had enough of the suffering decided she was not going to move any inch further and sat on the ground. The rest tried to make her continue but she refused and implied that there was no reason for her to continue demanding for freedom when her only son was dead. She refused to go to anywhere which she branded nowhere again and remained seated and crying. Shuru walked up to Shante and told her that it was better if they could seek for shelter first.
