THE UNFOLDING
Daniel was at the shrine to consult the sudsier over a particular dream that he has been having persisting for months on which he could not explain, he has on his own wondered why has he been having such a dream, what significant is the dream to him, and he have tried to understand the cause of the dream; he could not phantom what his connection were with the content of the dream, he hadn’t the slightest idea if the book he was seeing in the dream actually exist. So he shared it with his friend James after due a consideration.
James knew that he had no answers or solution to what Daniel had brought to him, so he suggested that they go to the old sudsier, whom he think could have all the answers that Daniel seeks, the came to see Edudu the great see.
They knelt down in front of the sudsier; with no shoes, because they left from their office, they were still on their cooperate wears.
Daniel had his left palm in-between the palms of the Edudu, who held it while chanting. eyes close and head up, waving uncontrollably about in his sitting position; after a while he let go of the hand and then opens his eyes and noticed a strange spirit lurking around (Nathaniel appeared at a distance close enough to hear and see what was going on in the shrine, and was noticed by the sudsier) , he looked towards the direction where Nathaniel was hiding, shook his head and turn to Daniel and said
“The book in your dreams seek you, hence the reason why it has continue to reappear to you in your dreams” the sudsier explained
“What does the book want from me?” Daniel asked bluntly
“What kind of book is it?” he added
The sudsier chuckles and look at Nathaniel’s direction again shakes his head
“You are the book keeper, under your protection should the book be; but someone amongst you have held it from the rest of you?” he revealed
Daniel looks surprised and confused
“You must take hold of the book or else, the brotherhood in which you belong in will crumble and death shall befall all of you one after the other” he further explains
“I don’t seem to understand what you’ve been saying” Daniel admitted
“the book is all that is and all that will be as far as your existence is concern”
Daniel appears to be more confused and frustrated than he was when he came to the sudsier, he could not pitch a thought on any significant connection between him and what the sudsier has explained to him; there was nothing to hold on to on why he kept on having the dream reoccurring and the importance of the book in his dreams. He took a minute to ponder over his situation, wondering where would be the right place to get the necessary information about the disturbing dream. After a while battling with his thought; and more so how he can unveil the irony behind the mysterious book he had not seen or know its where about. He knew he had not had any
The sudsier halted his chanting and focused in the direction that Nathaniel had hide himself , there were test of power within him and Nathaniel. And after matching his strength with Nathaniel and saw that he could not be subdued, he stopped, shook his head and continues with his consultations.
Nathaniel knew of the fact that the sudsier had all the information Daniel had come to seek, Nathaniel beg not want to confront him immediately, he knew the sudsier would rather wait for Daniel to leave before he would do or say anything; hence the reason why he has not confronted him over his secret visit.
Daniel and his friend James the quietly watching and waiting in anticipation of a better result on the issue that have brought them before the old sudsier, there are so many questions that has been asked, they seek to find all answer to these questions; the old sudsier knew the curiosity that is within Daniel and his friend who had travel from afar to see him, and the present of the stranger would restrict him form telling most of what he is supposed to have revealed to Daniel.
In the realm the there are certain principle of interference, the power that supersede the physical would agree to allow certain revelation about issue that concerns the different forces within the realm, and to an extent. But in this case, it was not in the duty for the old sudsier to reveal the much he intend to speak on until the intervention of the stranger whom he barely recognize at first, but as he continues to dig deep into the issue before him; a clear picture of whom it was came to him and he smiled.
contact with any group of people, more or less getting initiated into and society and confraternity as far as he is aware of, and to the best of his knowledge he was never given any book under oak so why will he be chained to a particular mysterious book. He wondered.
He turn to James who appears to be more confused than he is and then to the sudsier
“I don’t know if any what you have just explained to me” Daniel said
The sudsier shakes his head again and said
“This the much I can say for the now, come some other time; maybe I might be allow to tell you more about all you need to know”
Daniel sighs and turns to James and he gestured that they should leave
“alright I will come some other time” he said rising to his feet, James hurried up and they left, and as soon as they left; Nathaniel appeared and walked into the shrine
“I can see you won’t stop poking you noise in to other people business” he said pacing and observing the shrine
“you don’t have a business here stranger” the sudsier said
“I know, but your interference bought my curiosity, I am now interested in your business since you cannot stay off mine” he added
“I did not ask to be involved in your business, I do only what I am asked to do” he said “and that I have done” he added
“And your business is very much worrying and aching, so I must warn you to decease from poking your noising into my business, or else you will be sorry you did” he warned
“Is that a threat?” the sudsier asked
“Call it whatever you like” he said walking away, pause turn to the sudsier and said
“To before warn is to before harm” he added and vanished into the air.
The sudsier sat up pondering over his experience and wonder what kind of power Nathaniel processes.
Nathaniel other half come back and joined the meet while he is giving his concluding speech to close the meet for the day
“I am impressed by the effort and contribution that you all have put in to the growth and progress of this company, I will be more grateful if there are improvement by the next meeting” he said
“We will meet again next month” he added
Daniel got to the house looking tiered and falls into a seat, and in the shortest while he fell asleep and went into trans; he saw himself standing face to face with an old man who has no shirt on, but just a wrapper; wrapped around his waist,
“You must know while your curiosity have grown beyond the normal” he said while Daniel curiosity weigh passes him, paying attention to the old man and busy scouring about for safety, the old man notice and smiled
“Don’t be afraid” he said
“you are in a safe place; this is where you will get the answers that you seek” he added
Daniel stood almost suffocated by fear while standing restlessly on a spot summoned a little courage he asked
“Who are you?”
“I was a possessor, I was before your fathers father, and before you” he explained. Daniel sighs and gave all his attention as the old man explains to him what he had been curios about
“We are not from the same blood line, but only in your father’s father generation where born into the tie of the possessor a line of four generation by the brother hood and you are the third of that generation to maintain the stool of the possessors” he further explains
“And it is that connect, that has brought about the mysterious wonder and reoccurrence of a dream that has prompt you up for the search for answers” he added
Daniel remained focus on him, because his interest have might what he was seeking to find out just where he list expected.
“and as the possessor you are supposed to be the Creed keeper, and also make the ritual of divinity and peace to keep the Brother hood in one accord” he further revealed
“It is also the sole responsibility of the possessor to maintain the unity of the brother hood no matter the circumstances; he must align with the fore gods on the temple of ‘ARIGRISHNA’ for direction” he added
“And none of this has been done over the years and Arigrishna is not in good terms with the Brother Hood and that is why the signs to warn you and to wake you up from your slumber to arise to the challenges and build the Brother Hood back to its hay days” he concluded
Daniel fear and anxiety faded away unknown to him, he has built up his confidence, and after a minute of pondering over what the strange man had made him to understand he asked
“I don’t know where the book is, how do I find the book?”
“the Creed fell in the into the hands of the extremist, who happen to be a member of the Brother hood and the last member of the second generation league elite,” he explained
But after the demise of your father, the second possessor, he took possession of the creed and refused to do needful? He further explained.
“Right from that moment, the Creed have remained in the hands of the Extremist; who now uses it for his personal and selfish interest, under minding the laws of the Brother Hood” he added
“Who is in procession of the Creed?” Daniel asked
“Nathaniel Etuhu is the Extremist amongst you generation of Elite, he has the Creed in his procession” he revealed
“it has boost his life, you can tell by his record, the boom in his business and privileges he gets are not mere opportunity; they are as a result of the blessings of the ‘DEBAI’ the one that control the Econon, on his chain of business, sucking the blessings of every other member of the Brother Hood for failing to show gratitude to him” he further reveals
“Arigrishna is not pleased about it, that is why you are in his radar, and anyone who is in Arigrishna’s radar has failed, and the person must suffer the consequences for failing”
“What are the consequences?” Daniel ask
“Some of them you are facing already, but the fear of all is death” the old man said
“Death that will bring pain to you for as long as you live, you will feel death lurking around you and yet you will not die” he added
“But you will feel it wroth and you will wish you were dead” he concluded
“You must retrieve the Creed from him and put it where it belong else you shall suffer a grave consequence that will defy and solution” he advised
Daniel looked away pondering over the issue before him and the fear the knowledge has brought upon him, for a minute the world went dark and all that he could sense is the bitterness and sour that is confronting him with so much fury, he is consumed by the consequences that will befall him if he doesn’t retrieve the Creed. He wasn’t too concern about how to retrieve it, only the consequences he fear and that was all he could bother himself about.
After a minute of absolute silence, he thought of some, it came to him to seek assistance on how he will be able to retrieve the Creed from the one who has stolen it from him, and when he intend to ask the
Question that he had thought of; the old man was already far gone, he was nowhere around. He scour about and couldn’t find the old man, he continues to turn around on a spot, and found himself standing looking at himself sleeping on the couch in his sitting room. He noticed his half walking it his body that was resting and he woke still conscious of everything that happens. He sat up astonished by the power he possesses, he got up from his sit and walk into the room to rest for the day.
