Nevertheless, the beads. These beads have known so many things. They know what…”“No, I’m coming along…!” She barked and took hold of the sides of the chains. She started up but he did not let her up.

31 - Exquisite loyalty

Chapter 31 (Exquisite loyalty.) Makita released the first arrow from her bow, which the ghost Kurota waved aside and majestically land on the ground. Makita panicked for the second shot but her fingers were shivering. As she inserted the second, the creature lunged forwards at them! Tsote pushed Makita out of the way. The creature crushed into an old tree splintering it to pieces. The Basha dog saw what was happening and after having bonded with the beads, it found some sort of loyalty to its riders. It rushed in to help diving from this tree to the other to confuse the Kurota before it attacked on the third jump!The ghost Kurota saw the Basha dog. It tore the tree stump out from the earth nearby and with all the dirt and moss, hurled it at the dog! The Basha dog clashed with the tree stump and bounced aside into some rock. It landed heavily with its feet well and running along the rock’s sides targeted the sha

32 - Fall of the obelisk

Chapter 32 (Fall of the Obelisk) She took one last glance back at the Olko hill, a place that’s been his home for the past few years. She looked down at her flesh and the plague was fading. She felt new. Clean and fresh. The Basha dog raced through the night following the fog across the Yudok Marshes, past the caves of the hyena people, along the dark lake’s shores and faster North East. She smiled slightly as the Basha dog entered the Lekosha jungle. Basha dogs sprinted out of her way. She held her arm out to the sides and the river in ahead solidified making the water to rise into flying birds made of water splashes and sand. They became many and started out through the fog with her. She however did not ride outside the winding fog route.The fog stretched across the land like a great ancient snake with clouds hanging low above it. She star

Chapter 33. (Healing.) Tsote sat up from the altar and looked around. The whole time Naruba struggled with Oladiya, trying to ensure that she did not lose her beads to him, Tsote’s Kurota sprouted. Not until the Oladiya took, back both his eyes! Besides, Makita watched Tsote struggling as if he was experiencing a bad dream. All of a sudden, the sun’s ray cut through the fog in the east. Its rays touched Tsote’s flesh. It did not take long before Tsote gained consciousness. The Owl watched from the side of his feet. “Makita?”“Tsote… you are alive.”“What happened?” Tsote inquired confusedly turning to look at Olkai whose mane looked so beautiful in the morning sun light. The sun was rising from the east and the fog was melting out of the way slowly. The tr

Makita is so surprised but nothing was new to Tsote. To their dismay, Marakusha was lain to waste and the Yakunko were at war with new comers.It was coming to midday and the village was in total waste. Bodies were scattered across the homesteads and the fields of Dankwa. Kurotandi boys were dead. The owl swooped through the village to Thalko’s shelter, which was demolished and smoking with dark smoke like so many other homesteads shelters. Marakusha homesteads were organized in a twinning movement the likes of a snail’s shell. Following this movement Olkai glided twenty feet above the streets with his wings spread out wide! They could not see anyone moving below! When Olkai finally rose from Thalko’s shelter, Makita glanced northeast alon
