THE MISSION 19

Shante looked up at Shuru and looked around before making him to understand that there was no way they would be able to find shelter if they did not build one by themselves and Shuru nodded in understanding. Shuru took a look at the mother of Adere and shook his head.

"Mother and son love" Shante remarked and got up, approaching the woman she knelt before her and held her face and made her to look her direction, assuring her that all will be well and that her son was not going to die rather the gods who assigned him will protect him and ensure that he fulfils his destiny and purpose in life. She kept on holding on to her face until Adere's mother was able to look her direction, making her to understand that she on the other side had always known that the gods had something in store for her son, right from the time he was born. She went ahead to explain what she meant and Shante was smiling all through and after Adere's mother was through she held Shante on the shoulder and smiled at her. saying, you said you have feelings but I do not know if you said that just to cheer me up or if you did say it out of your heart but if you truly love him then you and Shuru, Shuru who sacrificed his position in the palace of the king of Aba to help a friend and to be with a friend are the only people I trust in this world"

"Thank you mother to Adere" said Shante before reminding her that they needed to build a tent in the forest and then rest there before making further plans. Adere's mother made her remember what she asked her before they reached where they were at that moment and what Shante's answer was. Shante had nodded and had accepted that she was nursing feelings for Adere and the mother to Adere who had lied to her that if she told her the truth of what she was feeling for her son she would tell her the means by which Adere could be rescued. She made her understand that she had no idea how Adere could be rescued and Shante on the other hand did not want to think about all that instead she went to Shuru and told him that it was time for them to start building the tent as soon as possible. Shuru joined her immediately and they begun to build the tent.

Meanwhile other kingdoms of the world who had not given into the power of the king of of Aba decided that they needed to come together and wage war on Aba.

The king of Oda was the one that started this. He firstly began a visitation to each and every kingdom he had not heard had been paid a visit by the king of Aba and his ancient beast. When he entered the kingdom of Fada he met the king almost in reads and he was eager to know what had happened. The king of Fada said to the the king of Oda that his kingdom had not been visited by the king of Aba and his ancient beast but that the king of Aba had paid a visit to the kingdom of Otule; a kingdom being ruled by his best friend. When the king of Fada was through the king of Oda sat and sighed and then looked up at the king of Fada and made him to understand that he should not be crying but preparing. When the king of Fada wanted to know what the king of Oda meant the king of Oda then stood up and began; His voice was like a man who was ready for war and was instilling courage in the hearts of his men. The king of Fada could see the blazing fire of passion in his eyes as he spoke. He was moving from one point to the other, making his point and the king of Fada could only nod as he listened. The king of Oda had first said, "Enough is enough" and then went further to make the king of Fada to understand that it was high time the kingdoms joined together and wage war against the king of Aba and put an end to his tyranny. "If the king of Aba is left alone to do whatever he wishes with the ancient beast there will be trouble and total disaster in the lands. You and I know that the king of Aba is using the ancient beast to gain power and dominance in the world and there is no other way he can achieve that except by destroying kingdoms that stand on his way and then peacefully snatching away the freedom of others who would not put up any resistance. I do not have to tell you that the king of Aba is not controlling the beast but that the beast is actually controlling the king of Aba. If care is not taken the beast will consume him and we will still fail to gain our freedom from it. Let us unite now and fight the king that greedily took possession of a beast that he knew nothing about. Let us do that now or never" The king of Oda had made a lot of points and the king of Fada was smiling throughout his speech and when he was done he asked to know which direction they should follow and the king of Oda told him that they should start visiting other kingdoms that had nor been visited by the beast and the talk at length with the kings on how to invite our greatest seers and powerful magicians that will help us put an end to the beast, the ancient beast and the man that is trying to steal our freedom from us" The king of Fada accepted and before long they begun to make arrangements on how to embark on other kingdoms.

Kiso was trying harder on her training on Adere and Adere was feeling it hot. He had not accepted this kind of training. He fell from the tree he had been trying to climb and angrily told Kiso that he was tired of all that and asked her to send him back to his mother and his friends but then Kiso came to him and held him by the throat. "You are talking about letting you go back to your friends. Do you know how many kingdoms that have been subjected to the possession of the the ancient beast? Do you have any idea of what you did to us when instead of following the instructions we were giving you you decided to go back to the palace of the king of Aba and handed the seed of power to him. Do you know how many kingdoms that are now crying and begging for their freedom? You made this happen because you could not hold your heart and allowed your love for your mother to put the whole world in danger. If you do not train now how will I trust that you will be able to do what needs to be done in the land where you were created?" Kiso sounded angry and so Adere kept quite and waited for her anger to subside. Kiso sighed and then spoke calmly. "Sorry for my outburst but you need to learn and you need to learn faster. There is no time and there are others who are making mistakes as a result of your own mistake as we speak. Get back to training"

The king of Oda and that of Fada had paid a visit to some of the kingdoms that the king of Aba had not paid a visit to with his ancient beast and had also convinced them to join forces with them against the king of Aba and his ancient beast. Some of the kingdoms they paid a visit to said they had never seen anything like it before and that if the beast was as strong as it was said to be then they would not be a party to whatever the king of Fada and of Oda were proposing. The kingdoms that joined forces with the king of Oda and of Fada were many and they felt it was time to get seers and powerful sorcerers that would help them tame the ancient beast. The kings agreed and before long they were already seated with the seers and the powerful sorcerers.. The sorcerers made them to understand that the journey they were about to embark on would not be an easy one. Firstly they told them that there would be sacrifices but at the end of the day the ancient beast would be tamed and the kingdoms that had already been subjected to the power of the beast would be freed and freed for good. This utterance pleased the kings that had invited the seers and the sorcerers and they promised to make available anything that they needed for their spiritual preparation. The Seers and Sorcerers immediately went into work.

In the forest where Adere's mother, Shuru and Shante were they had already finished building the tent and were about to go in and rest when Shante heard a strange sound and turned to looked at Shuru. Shuru shrugged because he did not hear the sound. The sound came back again and Shuru then heard it and Adere's mother who had also heard the sound stood up immediately and went to them. They stood and waited to see and hear where the sound was coming from and all of a sudden a pack of wolves began to emanate from every corner of the forest and Adere's mother could not believe it. Shuru drew his sword and Shante was gripped with fear. The number of wolves that were coming out were many and uncountable and Adere's mother knew for sure that there was no way they would be able to escape the wolves and she thought of her son and everything else she could remember at that moment and Shuru who was ready to die fighting had positioned his sword very well. Shante could not move because she believed that moving was of no use and before long they all would turn to meet in the belly of the wild wolves and that would be their end.
