The Retelling Story of Igodo - Episode 16

 

"You lied, I killed them and I saw them dead with my own eyes",

"Then look behind you and see for yourself".

Uzodinma turned to look behind her and was greatly shocked to her bones when she saw Ikenna, Ikenga, Odum, Ikemefuna, Ojadike and Prince Ebuka coming towards her.

Where they not the ones she had killed back in the cave? What is really going one?

Uzodinma wondered as Nneoma smiled.

Uzodinma remained speechless as she saw the 6 comrades of hers coming towards them. She turned to look back at Nneoma.

Nneoma smiled and took a step forward, standing a breath away from Uzodinma . She could hear Uzodinma trepidatious heartbeat.

"What, don't tell me you are scared in seeing them all alive?"

Uzodinma gawky took a step back and quickly  back away from Nneoma and the coming 6, facing all of them at once.

Ikenna, Ikenga, Ojadike, Odum, Prince Ebuka, Ikemefuna all joined Nneoma as they stood facing Uzodinma.

"How come? I killed the 6 of you in that cave, how come I am now seeing you all here alive". Uzodinma asked out of anger

As she spoke, IGODO and Okike made their appearance, and walked towards Nneoma and co.

Uzodinma was once again render speechless on seeing the two.

"I don't understand"

. Uzodinma said and continued "What are you two doing here?" 

Okike cleared out his throat before speaking. "Uzodinma, everything that you see are the plans of the river goddess, Idemmili. She saw what you where up too and prepared ahead. You see, before you came to join them when they were fighting the warriors of Ancient, the ball of light who had helped them came and took them all away, leaving their illusory behind, so that you would think they are the ones. The illusory were made to thier own image, they have the memories of the real ones. You only killed their illusions".

Uzodinma was surprised at what she heard. She smiled as she nodded her head "Hmm, you all surprised me, catching me in my own games, you all deserve some accolades. But that hasn't change the fact that I am with the knife of Amadioha", said Uzodinma.

"True, and that is why I am here to collect the knife from you. You either give me the knife willingly, so that it would be use to save Umu-Igodo or I fight to collect it. The choice is yours to make". Nneoma spoke out.

Uzodinma laughed at her "You don't know me then Nneoma. None of you will take the knife from me, Nneoma don't dare me" Uzodinma then proceeded in pointing at all of them, "All you joined together cannot defeat me. I am more than you seemed to know".

"We all know that Uzodinma, but we are pleading to you, give us back the knife and you can go home". Okike said.

"And you know my answer", Uzodinma reply, adamant in her words.

"I am no longer holding Nneoma.

. Nneoma do to her what you wish", Okike said at last.

Nneoma had been patiently waiting to hear the go ahead. She smiled as Uzodinma looked straight at her smirking back.

Meanwhile in the Realm of the gods

Amadioha stood facing Ala whose back was facing him.

"I have been begging you for many centuries to forgive me, but you paid no attention to me. I have atone for what I did in the past. I am so sorry, let us stop all these misunderstandings between us". Amadioha pleaded yet again to his lover.

Ala on the other hand, has made up her mind to forgive Amadioha. She turned, in her glory and beauty, Amadioha looking speechless and told Amadioha the words he had been yearning to hear for centuries. "I have forgiven you my love".

Amadioha was elated on hearing it. "Thanks so much my love, I am indeed indebted to you".

Ala nodded and proceeded in telling Amadioha about her pregnancy, everything that he needed to know.

"Hmm, so she is also my daughter?" 

"Yes, I am afraid so, but there is a problem".

"What problem my love?" Amadioha asked.

"I no longer have control over my present generation. I think Agwu is behind it".

"Hmm, god agwu again?". Amadioha asked no one in particular then continued "I will have to talk to Agwu soon, but before then, let us think of a way in stopping the fight that is about to happen between my two daughters. But first I will have to involve Idemmili".
