THE GREAT WARRIOR 22

In the palace of the king of Mozo the king had decided to pay a visit to his wizard friend in his shrine and when he got there he met him and his female friend making out and upon clearing his throat the lady ran out of the hut after greeting the king. The wizard laughed and welcomed the king. After the king had sat he looked at the lady as she ran and turned to look at the wizard, trying to know why he decided be having affairs in his shrine. He made him to understand that he should be mindful of the things he did and also went on to tell him a story of a man who was a very powerful chief priest. Before he went further to tell him the story he first made him to understand that it was his own father who told him the story and that he was not sure if the story was true or not but all he knew was that he learnt a lot from the said story. According to the King's father there was once a man named Ukwa and he was a descendant of very powerful chief priest. It was said that he was made a chief priest at the age of twelve and so he was regarded as the youngest chief priest of that time. The king's father who was the king at that time went to his shrine to invite him to his palace to help his barren wives to take in and give him a son. Ukwa set off and on the day of his arrival in the palace of the king of Mozo he met the wives of the king seated and waiting for him. Immediately they saw him approach they all got up to greet. It was said that Ukwa was so great that there was no one in the land of Mozo who did not mistake him for the gods. They accorded him the same level of respect they would accord a king and so when the chief priest went to work on the wives of the king of Mozo those who came around to witness this were so happy for they believed in the work of Ukwa. Those who have witnessed his work had a lot of positive things to say about him and others who have heard of the great deeds he did were there to equally see what he would do. At the end of the day he told the king of Mozo that his wives were now in good shapes and would deliver soon. The king was happy and so it happened like the chief priest said. The wives all got pregnant and delivered peacefully. But then there was something that was not right with Ukwa and that was the way he liked women a lot. He had once said to a man that the only thing that was capable of bringing down was a woman and it was actually a woman who brought him down for real. On his death bed he advised his successor never to have anything to do with women and if he wanted to and if it becomes a must he should marry and have a family. His death, the death of a great man as Ukwa was a shameful death for he died on top of a woman. On the day of his death he had invited a woman into his shrine and was making love to her right in front of the deity and while he was doing such there was a nock at the door and he stood up and went outside to check but saw no one. He had then returned to continue with what he was doing and all of a sudden he saw something again, something that looked like a pregnant woman with a spear in her hand and and he was shocked.
