The dammed spirits of the river world were far more dangerous than the rouge spirits who dwelt in caves amongst the pure spirits of the river world. They were considered a menace, a breed of creation whose organ lay outside of the knowledge both amongst mortals and spirits. From the look of things, Nshaa and a few elder gods were planning to stike bigger than just to kill Obinze and bring back Urenma. Ntani was so shocked by the sight she beheld that her tongue cleaved to the roof of her mouth and the power of speech fled her vocal organ . Nshaa was planning to clean out a race of men, he was clearly not just interested in Obinze and Urenma, his plans were far bigger than what she was told.

Nshaa decieved them all; all along he had been secretly working on his scheme to wipe out Ukeh land and all those who loved the land which the children of the gods loved and preferred to live in. Realizing what Nishaa was up to, Ntani sent three princess immediately to Ukeh land to warn Urenma and Obinze of the doom which was about to befall them and all who dwelt in Ukeh. Sadly Ntani was ignorant of the depth of Nshaa’s deception and treachery; it would take bravery, blood and death to get the three princesses to Ukeh to deliver their message. Ntani and the princesses she had convinced to follow her were mere young spirits caught in the maelstrom of an ageless covenant which should have never been broken

. Too sad to say, Nshaa as was fortold, in his rage and hatred had broken the convenant. The emissary from the sky who gave Obinze a wooden ring to give to Obiakor saw it and mentioned it. There were far too many who did not know what the covenant was and how to break it; or who understood why Obinze’s parents died suddenly while he was still a child. This would be much more than the clash of Legends, two world and two kingdoms would collide into each other, secrets which gods above and beneath had sworn to keep would burst out in the open. Blood would flow, both of humans and immortals and trusts would be betrayed.

Having quickly dispatched the three fierce princesses to Ukeh in the hope that they would get there in time to deliver their message. Ntani raised a battle cry against the very gods she had sworn to serve for eternity. The princesses besides their duties of royalty were creations forged in war and for war, but such wars were not against the elder gods. However the princesses of the river world would dare the gods to save a land which they called the land of love-Ukeh land. Raising their arms the princesses threw themelves against the elder gods, the dammed spirits of the river world and the army of the river world. The elder gods took more interest in their prized weapon-Ojadili possessed with the power and life of Atari-and rallied around him. In front of the warring princesses was Ntani, a legendary fearless spirit. She took care of the warriors of the river world, most of whom were her friends. As the princesses made light of the battle with their superior fighting skills and power, the dammed spirits-the abomination of the spirit world-stepped forward to confront the princesses. Right before Nshaa and the elder gods, the dammed spirits began to tear the princesses apart. Though the sight of it was not pleasant to Nshaa and the nineteen gods, but their plans had to be carried out.

While the battle raged, Ojadili began to stir in the midst of the gods. The feared weapon of the gods of the river world was coming to life.

. However, Ojadili was not the only one who was stirring, Utebe, the monster champion of the rogue spirits in caves had awakened from its long slumber; and how it loved to wage war. Rallying the rouge spirits Utebe led them toward the caverns where Ojadili was taking on life. Ntani on her part was losing princesses to the battle faster than she had planned to. Even if she had chosen to call a retreat, the princesses would not have heeded her call. It seemed like Ntani and the princesses of the river world would die that day until a few princes decided to take sides with them and also convinced Utebe to lend them his army. For Utebe war was war, he didn’t care who he fought against so long he got his chance to fight. Their entrance into the battle tipped the balance against the dammed spirits and allowed Ntani to re-strategize.

Unknown to Ntani and the army she led, Nshaa had forseen the battle and so planned that it would be staged until Ukeh and its inhabitants were cleaned out. Peeling herself from the battle Ntani sought to reach the three fierce princesses whom she had sent to Ukeh to warn Urenma and Obinze. Unfortunatley she met sad news; the three princesses had gone down fighting at the edge not make it to Ukeh land. In her anger, which was her greatest weakness, Ntani returned to the battle instead of seeking a way to reach Urenma and Obinze. She wanted to end the battle in the river world long before it got to the land where humans dwelt.
But alas, she was wrong.
