When we get to the destination, jude and Emma usher us in and we actually meet two white men accompanied by some black guyz. We got in and we all look for a place to sit, the white man stood up and address all of us congratulating us for being so wise to grab such beautiful opportunity , he went ahead to explain more about the search to us, right from that hour I started having bad feelings towards the search, I excuse my friends out and I told kola and others that we should turn down the search and move on , but they were too deaf to hear me… I tried all my best to convince them, but they fink am trying to be a lazy coward Me : kola, guyz my mind no free with these people o..

After our conversation we all went inside and the oyinbo guyz warned us that at this stage there is no going back cus we have signed an agreement, so they gave us the clue of what we were actually searching for and it’s a hidden treasures which is called egg of life.. 5 minutes later the herbalist man came in and he gave all of us some set of magical stuff that will guide us to the egg and he gave us some kind of warning also Herbalist : you all should listen and listen carefully, you have 7 days to locate this egg, within this 7days no one of you should have s-x with any girl, you should drink no water and no food from the forest, one of you will have the ability to see things when ever something bad is gonna happen, you all must always listing to what he or she say..

Kola : It’s okay den, we will do it… The man went ahead to give us all we need for the journey, then we all set for the quest, when we got to the entrance of igbo-irumole my mind started beating faster than a samba drum, but as a man na once I go die, so I calm myself and follow others, we keep walking till the herbalist and tk and others got out of sight, at first the journey was kinda interesting as we chilled with others and mingled, As we were discussing, I saw something with red eyes looking at us from our opposite, I called the attention of others but they never listen to me, before I could spell nun the light went off. Cynthia and bola the two girls amongst us grab me from behind out of panic, Immediately kola stood up and turn on his touch, but he see nothing, Kola : guyz calmdown, it’s nothing maybe it’s the air work Bola : kola are you sure? Kola : yes trust me, it’s nothing Before kola could complete that sentence, we heard yet another sound, but this time it’s very loud and clear. Yet the same sound come again and again, immediately everyone started running heading straight towards the same direction but actually we don’t even know where we were heading to, jahrul looked back and he saw some set of masquerade chasing after us.. Jahrul : see them o! Them de behind us o… We all ran as fast as our leg could, till we get to a certain point where we no longer see them.. Sege : guyz make we stop, them no fit see us again Cynthia : no o them fit catch us if we wait for this time na.. Bola : na true o, them fit hide for one place de wait make we relax so that them go catch us .. Kola : muna relax them no fit see us again We all agree to his suggestion since kola is the boldest among us, We all sit and relax, eventually we started sleeping one after the other Cynthia was the first to sleep followed by blanny, then Chris, bola, jahrul and I while kola and Vincent didn’t sleep, cus they stood to watch and guide us for the night… Around 4 o clock in the morning bola woke up and she asked jahrul to follow her cus she wana urinate, the two of them went out of our gathering, both of them started discussing some irrelevant stuffs.. bola was the first to make the move, she stood up and undress herself infront of jahrul, jahrul on the other hand respond immediately by giving her a wet kiss of which bola welcomed by holding jahrul’s head, she knelt down and unbuckled jahrul’s belt she pull down his shorts and she brought out his solid hard c--k, she kissed it at first and then started sucking it, as this drama was going on vincent also excused himself from kola, he trailed them down and he hear some romantic sound coming from the other end… Vincent : jahrul, bola!!! What’s happening here? Immediately he landed a hot slap on bola’s face and he gave jahrul a hard punch on his nose, jahrul also punched him back and they started fighting, bola ran down to inform us of what’s going on and we all rushed down there just to find out that jahrul is lying in pool of blood.. I screamed haaaaa!

We relax for 20 more minutes to prepare our stuff then we proceed with the quest, we were about crossing over a foot bridge when something told me to warn everyone not to look down from the foot bridge, I told everyone this and they all agree..the water was actually as red as blood.. we all were passing over when jahrul had a voice similar to his late mum’s own the person was actually drowning in the river screaming jahrul’s name for help.. Me : jahrul no look down o Jahrul : but na my mama voice I de hear so nah. Me : just de go no look down Jahrul : make I leave am make e drown for this red water ni Me : jahrul shut up nah, abeg no look down if you want to live Jahrul : ben shut up, I go look am and nothing go happen, who even give you the right to lead self, you whey lazy pass fowl so After saying this he looked down from the foot bridge then he slump and fell into the water, the person who was calling him turned to a big crocodile and tore him apart..others screamed and I samba the warning to them that none of them should look down until they drop from the bridge, immediately everyone started running till we finally cross the bridge, we stood there and watch the crocodiles feed on jahrul with eyes full of tears.. Everyone looked at me and they were very surprise to see that am the choosing one the wise herbalist man was talking about.. We all cried a lot cus one of us is gone and what this mean is “death is waving over ours heads” but the question is who next…? Five minutes later, every where became dark and noisy we heard a strange sound coming from the east like that of lion.. Me : something is coming, let’s get out of here We all started running, but everywhere was still dark, I check my watch and it’s 2pm, but everywhere was totally dark, my mind keep telling me there is light after the this very dark edge, I asked everyone to keep running till we get to a place of light.. Then finally we are out of it, but one of us is missing OMG! It’s Bola, Vincent ranted with much anger that can part a bridge, I could feel his pain cus it’s not easy to loose your blood sister to an unknown monster, most expecially when you don’t have the power to save her, we all sympathise with him and for ourselves also, cus we see ourselves as brothers..but deep down inside of me, I know that the reason behind their death is not far fetch, it’s all about s-x.. Finally we set off for the search, we walk for about 3 hours then kola call for a resting time, we sat under a huge strange tree, but we ain’t scared of if cus we already know where we are and monsters are familiar with us, vincent went ahead to sit alone starring at bola’s picture I stood behind him as he soliloquies Vincent : Bola I could remember when we were young, when I use to scold you for wrong doing, and when our parents died, I always promise to be there for you but I failed..(sobbing) bola I can’t see you anymore, now staring at your pictures morning and night has finally took the place of my real bola, it reminds me of those days we spent together at the school , how we discussed about many things, how we exchanged stuffs and how your calls keep my mind alive, how the thought of you and our discussions gave me hope and reminded me of who I was,and my place of authority in GOD,how I always long to see and be with you, everything is like yesterday when actually in the real sense its now over 20years. I never believed everything could turn this way, the abadonement and neglect. Many times I was down and needed to speak with someone, but you were no where to be found, that was one of the numerous reasons why I find it had to give you enough audience when you wants to join the search but you won’t listen . Iron sharpeneth iron, so does a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Bola I miss you…(crying) Me : hmmm hmmmm(coughs) Vincent : benji how are you (he said while he used his left hand to clean his face) Me : Am fine, I have been standing right behind you for the past 20 minutes, but you didn’t notice. I also miss my friend jahrul, I miss him as much as you miss bola, cus we have been together for years, but what can we do about it, she is gone but I believe she is still with u…you have to take heart and act like the strong man you are, be strong brother…I believe you can do it ( I said tapping him from behind) Vincent : ok, thank you ben ,you are such a kind person (he stood up and walk away) I stood up and follow him then we heard a loud noise coming from where others gathered..OMG I shouted vincent : ben what’s wrong? Me : I think something is happening down there, lets go.. We both rush down there but to my greatest surprise what we saw made us dumb for almost 5 minutes
EPISODE 4
We saw everyone sitting calmly as blanny went about to entertain them with some kinda brainy stuff.. His name was blessing , but we called him blanny . He was smooth, malleable as putty, his greasy manners oiled the clogged wheels of the deals that happened in our small town, once in a while. He grew up here, lived among us until nine years ago . When his mother’s death scattered the family in different directions, like the grains of corn from a container that crashed, leaving the blind father stranded, all by himself, waiting on hope, waiting to be picked up, the lone grain buried somewhere in sand, beneath twigs. We always knew that blanny didn’t believe in anything, but we didn’t know what he would do to prove that. He only knew how to work hard, we’d say; he knew how to deal the cards. Late Jahrul , who was his best friend , gave him the alias (blanny), used to say that the boy could sell his mother, that the poor woman had Death to thank, for her second son was scheming to palm her off for a fistful of cash. Who would buy her, for how much, to what use,Jahrul never said, preferring to intone, ‘If there’s one person who will do anything to get money, it’s he.blanny’ Whenever blanny and Jahrul were together , I stood by the window and watched them at play. ‘blanny!’ Jahrul , hollered as blanny emerged, walking briskly along. ‘Is inside my blood!’ the boy was suddenly gratified. But I know he will miss jahrul so bad… Chris hailed from the gathering “the one and only blanny whey de reason wella” Blanny :Das right. A million stars no equal the single moon.’ Sege :Na You sabi the thing!’ Blanny : Das me you hail.’ Kola : You who come across a rooster on a bushpath and ask, Your feather or your flesh?’ Blanny : Talent senior training. Abinibi pass ability.’ Sege : On account of the new yam you redesign your mother’s facial marks with a machete!’ Blanny now close to his addressor, pulled a face. The mention of his mother was part of the game, but it came too early. The gathering under the strange tree erupted into laughter, and when he made a rude sign at sege nobody really noticed. But I do, from there I cut in… Me : hmmm hmmm! Guyz I fink that should be enough for now, it’s getting late let’s look for a place to sleep… They all stood up in preparation for the sleeping stuff, tonight it’s gonna be me and blanny on guard, we took a walk a bit away from others as we both chatted for 10 minutes till we depart to our post.. I was sitting untop of a tree watching the environment, when I saw something strange coming towards our direction. Immediately I signal blaNny to inform him about what am seeing and he also responded that he can see everything, at first am unable to get the clear picture of what or who is coming, until when they edge closer.. I saw two dwarf they both tied red cloth around their waist, white cloth tied on their head, and they both were hawking something best known to them, suddenly I can’t feel my legs anymore, it seems maybe am on air or on water. My head became big I tried to scream but I can’t hear myself screaming. This continued for 20 minutes till am able to get myself, then I saw blanny also battling the same thing that just happened to me. I dropped down from the tree and I trailed them till they got to the midst of sleeping others. The male one looked at the female and they both shake their head in pity.. Female : what are those strange creature doing here? Male : they are here in search of the Egg OF Life.. When I heard him say that I almost pee on myself cus I was very surprise to see him say that. How did he know what we are here for? I said that in my mind Female : Don’t they know that this is the evil forest of the ancestors? Male : maybe, but what I see is that, most of them are here because of wealth Female : yes, how I wish they know what evil await them on this journey, cus no one come’s here and go freely… Male : would they even get what they want? Cus most of them will fail to keep to the warning given to them.. Female : how I wish they can do that, all of them will survive.. Male : see let’s go, they are too ugly I can’t even stand their irritating smell.. Female : same here *Watching from distance * I shake my head, nawa o even monster self they talk say we ugly, so monster self the get taste, see as them short and them still dey abuse person, hehehe I laughed, anyways na money cus am. As they were about going, blanny show into the scene and I quickly drag him down.. Immediately two of them halt and look back, blanny want to scream but I covered his mouth with my hands.. Me : *whispering* you de craze? U want make those short things come take us do night suya? Blanny : no vex na fear catch me, wait o e be like say them they come our side o.. Me : make we hide wella.. Female : I think someone is watching us Male : let’s check… Me : chai see gobe o, we die here *in yaw voice* We hid from their sight as we move from that spot to somewhere else and cover ourselves with leafs ..then they both checked our previous spot…and they walked down to where we are, but they can’t see us cus of the leaf…the female one stand on blanny’s back whilst the male stand on my leg, though them get weight small sha.. Mehn, this short thing go brake my leg here o, I said inside of me, blanny’s eyes don almost turn red like tp and kp’s own when them just kush binish..lol. (in bojan’s voice.. Then I hear something dropping like water on blanny’s body, at first I thought was rain, but the elders say na masquerade whey wan fall him own hand go talk say make rain fall untop him head. So if that’s true why ain’t they running then.. that was when I realise that the female one was urinating on blanny’s body, at first I want to laugh but I know if I try such that will be my end, so I have to stay silent to avoid story that touch.. Female : I can smell something like those one sleeping there Male : yes, it seems some of them are awake Female : I don’t think so, lets go.. They both walk away, blanny stood up as he was soaked with pee. I laughed really hard that everyone almost woke up Blanny : come wetin de funny now? Me : wetin no funny, see as monster pee untop ur head, and na even female monster..hahaha Blanny : e be like say you de mad.. Me : Na my body you fit get power, if na dat short monster now you no go gree talk.. Blanny : but serious o, dose monster no get brain o Me : why you talk am? Blanny : u no see as that female stand for my back whey she no even notice? Me : I wonder self. Blanny : nawa o, see wetin money de cause Me : you even know wetin funny pass? That male monster begin tell him wife say him no fit stand for where we de cus we de smell and we come ugly join Blanny : na thunder go fire them. Me : abeg make we go our post jare, day go soon brake We both depart to our point, I signal to blanny just to confirm if everything is alright, he signal back that all is well , then I saw something coming but this time it looks more awful and strange, I saw a tall huge looking creature as tall as a nepa poll, his hands were taller than the tree am on, I saw darkness and evil in his eyes, I saw evil wind coming behind it, I quickly signal blanny and we both jumped down from the tree, we rushed to wake others. Immediately we get them informed cus we gat no much time to give them the news in detail, but the problem is where do we run to at this hour of the night? Vincent brought the idea that we should hid somewhere, but kola object him saying it might be very risky cus the monster is very powerful and it moves with wind, we all agree to what kola says, then we put on our touch and we start running, but the problem is we don’t even know maybe we are running towards his direction or not cus the sound keep booming louder and louder. The day was actually getting brighter, but the moon is still very visible, then something told me we should stop running else we will fall into the deadly monster’s trap, immediately I told everyone to stop running and but some of them disagree saying it’s too dangerous to stop, I warned them that running is more dangerous than stopping after giving them enough excuse, they finally agreed, we all hid ourselves in the bush, then we saw the monster coming from where we all were actually running to.. Cynthia : ah! Tank God o, naso we for enter him hands ni Me : I told you Kola : so what’s next now? Me : the search continues Vincent : so which direction do we go now ? Me : we head west Kola : no , let’s take east Me : why? Kola : cus right from the beginning of this search, you have been directing us as you wish and we won’t take that from you, we are not your slaves and you are not even the strongest here, if you wana lead you have to fight for it..now prove yourself strong (getting ready for a fight) Me : kola, am not trying to lead am just doing what the spirit tells me, so why are you guys getting upset? Sege : ben we don’t want you as the leader if you want to lead, then take up the challenge Chris b : yes ben take up the challenge Me : ok, I agree with you guys, let kola lead.. Kola : good! We head east and it’s high time we defend ourselves we have the strength, we don’t have to run always, Me : kola no let’s just keep running we all know we have 4 days left for this search and that has possibly tell us that we don’t have much time. Vincent : hey ben just shut up, u coward.. We followed what kola said, then we get to a river bank, the water is as pure as a crystal clear glass, but to me, it’s as black as a charcoal.. then everyone try to drink from it..I quickly remind them of what the herbalist man told us, yet they never listen then Chris jumped into it and drank out of it, as he was trying to show others that the water is safe , something strange happened
