Episode 18

Immediately others started moving back, all

his guard surround us, everyone was

actually blaming me for saying such word.

But I know everyone in this forest is scared

of ojiji, so ogbon is also part of them. I

know he will surely fall for the trick, even

the boldest creature on earth is scared of

death, that I know for sure..

Ogbon move closer to me, he starred at me

for about three minutes..

Ogbon : who are you? Are you a god or how

do you reason like a god, how did you made

the wisest creature on earth fall without the

help of the creator?..talk.

Me : am not a god, my name is Benjamin

Watson, but what I told you is what am

going to tell ojiji if you refuse to help us.(i

said bodly)

At this point others keep mute as they

watch me battle in the realm of wisdom

with the wisest being on earth..

Ogbon : ok what do you want from me?

Me : show us how to get the egg of life

without the awareness of ojiji.

Ogbon : ok I will show you.. but the only

way you can enter the gate to where egg of

life is, is by solving some riddles by the

spirit of riddles..once the riddles is

answered correctly, then you will have free

access to the egg, you will have to be very

fast cus once you get the egg, you will hold

your breath before you touch the egg till

you get out of the cave, so this is when

your oneness works, when you breath ojiji

will be automatically alerted. . I will have

to go with you but after you entered, I will

take my leave..

Kola : thank you sir..

Ogbon : don’t thank me yet, thank me after

I fulfil my promise..we don’t have much

time, ojiji would be asleep now..lets go..

We all walked out of the building as ogbon

lead the journey, one our way going,

Cynthia keep asking ogbon some set of

funny questions which he answered

correctly. This ogbon wise o.. we walked all

night till finally we got to ojiji’s cave..

Ogbon : here we are..all of you should stay

behind me, and final warning for you all,

when I finally leave you , no one should take

anything apart from what you are here for..

We all echoed okay, then we followed him

as he entered the cave..

Me : why don’t ojiji have soldiers?

Ogbon : ojiji is like me, we don’t trust

anyone aside from ourselves.. that’s why

you see everyone in my castle looks

identical..

Me : ok..but why ain’t there no door here?..

Ogbon : cus there is no need for one..

I was still wondering why there were no

door on the way down to where egg of life

is, when something tall and huge

appeared..oh! This is the monster we saw

one our way down here..

We all step back, and ogbon step forward

and face him.

Ogbon : that’s why there is no need for

door here..

Me : but we met this monster on our way

here

Ogbon : yes, did you wait for him?

Me : no we ran

Ogbon : you guys are lucky, cus if you wait

before he attacks you, he will ask you some

couple of riddles, if you get it correctly, he

will leave you alone, but if you get it wrong

you have your stars to blame..

The spirit of riddle move forward

Spirit of riddle ; to what do I offer the

wisest being alive for his visit..

Ogbon : free entry for my friend

Spirit of riddle : ok, are you ready for the

test?

Ogbon : bring it on

Spirit of riddle : I am something, I don’t

have live, no one see me, no hear from me,

but I am the hope of the poor, the rich and

everything alive, what am i?

Ogbon think for a while and answered

Ogbon : faith

Spirit of riddle : wrong..

He hit ogbon very bad.. Ogbon fell and roll

in pain.

Ogbon : power

Spirit of riddle ; wrong..

He gave him another punch and this time

ogbon was actually bleeding

Me ; stttoop!!! Please give him last chance

… Ogbon please calmdown and think like

human, if you keep thinking like gods you

will fail the question..

Ogbon calm for a while and he thinks deep!

Then finally he answered..

Ogbon : tomorrow..

Spirit of riddle : correct…you have the free

access to pass..

Immediately he vanished out of our way..

Me : ogbon I trust you, I know you can do

it,..

I hugged him, as he smiled..finally the door

is opened, and ogbon says it time for him to

leave..he turned and leave us to decide our

faith on our own..we entered and see the

egg, but right beside it were golds diamonds

and all kinds of beautiful and glittering

chains, bangles and jewelries..

Vincent : mehn! This is great..

Blanny : omo! This one no be here o!

they both try to pick out of the jewelries,

but I quickly cautioned them about what

ogbon said, they turned deaf ears to my say

and started picking the stuffs..

Me : Blanny, Vincent you guys should drop

those stuff before its too late..

Blanny : tarrh.. for where? Do you want my

suffering down to this place to be in vain?

Me : you two should stop na..kola talk to

Kola : ben free dem na..let them enjoy

themselves..

Blanny : don’t you get the message?..i

promised my dad that the next time I will

visit him would probably be with a car, so

this is my chance of making it big..

As they continue picking the jewelries,

suddenly the jewelries in their pockets

began to transform to scorpions..

Those scorpings began to increase, within a

short period of time.. both blanny and

Vincent were consumed to skeleton by the

scorpions..cynthia wants to scream but I

quickly caution her not to try such, cus it

might be very dangerous..

We started exchanging strong words as we

were about to exchange punches, cynthia

and sege intervene.. they quickly summon

us about what we were there for..i looked

at kola and hissed, I lead the group to the

egg, on getting to the egg I hold my breath

and lift it, I start moving fast and I

stretched it to sege, he instantly collect it

and walked for 5 minutes, he stretched it to

kola, kola also hold it for another 5 minutes,

and he gave it to cynthia, she also moved

for 5 minutes..

This continued simultaneously till we get to

the exit door, at this time the egg was with

me, we walked out of the cave and head

straight to the forest, as we were moving, I

heard a loud roar…

Me : let’s run faster guyz, ojiji is awake..

Immediately we started running, suddenly it

starts raining..ojiji is chasing after us let’s
