The Retelling Story of Igodo - Episode 14
The forest of the Living Dead
Quickly Odum with Ikenga quickly blow the substance on the five ancient spirits unannounced, subduing them all at once.
"That was so easy than I thought ", Ikenga said immediately they had subdued the ancient spirits.
"Yes so easy", Odum nodded his head unanimously.
"Let us be quick, we shouldn't waste our time. Today marks the end of our seven days given to us by Okike, so we have to be quick in bringing the knife to Okeki", Uzodinma announced to the others.
"But that also reminds me, how did Odum and the three of you survived?" Prince Ebuka asked.
"Well, something or rather should I say someone helped me out of that pit that swallowed me and lead me here, that was when the three of them fell on top of me, from the sky, obviously from that golden river you all had peddled", Odum explained to Ikemefuna and co.
"So you mean to say that the river was actually another shortcut to here?" Ikemefuna asked surprisingly as he stares at Uzodinma.
"Yes Ikemefuna, the river lead us to Odum", Ikenna confirmed.
"Well, we are happy Amadioha kept you all alive, but time is going, when we reach the land of humans, we are going to tell Okike what had happened, for now let us redeem the knife", Ikemefuna said, his eyes still trailed on Uzodinma, who averted her eyes.
They all agreed to what Ikemefuna said and ventured into the cave.
When they entered the cave, they saw two paths leading deep into the cave.
"I don't get it, I thought when we were about entering the cave before we were blocked by those ancient spirits, I am sure I only saw one path", Ikenna said.
"Well, this is the forest of the dead and also where the knife of Amadioha is, anything can happen or change anytime", Odum said then continued "But we should not allow fear to rule us".
"Yes I agreed with what my brother, Odum said . We should follow the left path, I sense the knife of Amadioha in that path", Ikemefuna said preventing Uzodinma from saying a word.
"Are you sure?" Odum asked Ikemefuna to be sure of what he said.
"100% sure", Ikemefuna replied.
"Okay then, we are taking the path Ikemefuna said", Odum concluded.
They all began to follow the path, Ikemefuna made sure he was at the back of Uzodinma, his Agu had told him something.
Meanwhile in Nwagebe Village.
Nneoma smiled to herself at the failed plan of Olanna, the disguise one.
At first she thought it was the real one who had visited her, but her aura seemed and smell different from the one she was used too

. What even made her believe that it wasn't Olanna was when she asked about her siblings.
Olanna and her siblings don't see eye to eye, that was why she hardly visit Nneoma.
So Nneoma was surprised when she asked about her siblings, Olanna never asked about the welfare of her siblings.
Well, she had also know that Olanna under no circumstance would visit her, no matter what.
She was pounding fufu, that they were going to eat that evening, when she heard the voice of Idemilli asking her to go to a particular place, telling her, someone will come, and she will fight that person to get whatever the person hold.
She must fight the person, the battle had just begun.
Meanwhile In The Realm of the gods
Amadioha was seen, pacing around, Idemilli, beautiful as always, sitting as she stared at him.
"Why didn't you tell all these years?" Amadioha questioned
"Am sorry my lord, I thought keeping it as a secret would calm down Ala's anger over me and you, especially me. But I was proved wrong. I am sorry", Idemmili replied, pleading.
"Hmm, so many things had happened in the past, but you never made mention of this. Anyway, once my real children are back from the forest of the living dead, I will speak to my lover Ala, and I hope she listen to me this time around", Amadioha said, lightening flickers in his eyes as he longs to see his beautiful lover once again after so many centuries...
