Once upon a time, in a land of myth, there lived a young boy who found favour in the sight of a beautiful young maiden.
Their bond was forged through the forces of nature by the Guardians of the Universe itself.
The young man Named Ekene loved Ihunaya, so much so that beholding her beauty was enough food for the day.
But you know,
No experience in the earth is without Stumbling blocks, no path on earth is a bed of roses.
Chioma, Ihunaya's best friend had a severe crush on Ekene.
The attraction was so strong that she broke all rules of sisterhood and made moves, to take over the love of her friend's life.
One of such moves was her visit to the greatest native doctor of their time.
The sorcerer gave her a stone which had some mysterious ingredients..
According to him, when swallowed, Ekene would lose his love for Ihunaya, and this would give her time to strike and take over his love.
After several failed attempts, she succeeded in slipping the stone into Ekene's drink.
Few days later, something strange began to happen💔
Instead of loosing his love for Ihunaya, Ekene began to die slowly...
Why is this happening??
Well, the Oath of loyalty the love birds took was triggered into play.
Since Ekene was about to loose his love for his angel, the forces of the universe had to honour the Oath by Snuffing life out of him with every atom of love lost!
In search for a cure, Ihunaya had to undertake a journey into The Forest of Love, in search of a drop of water from a pond located in a mysterious and magical cave...
The Kendoron's Cave!!
On getting to the cave she faced a lot of challenges. Starting with a Water spirit called Malai. Malai insisted on getting a blood sacrifice before she would grant Ihunaya safe passage into the cave. Perplexed by the situation, ihunaya broke down in tears, she cried and sang in the process. The melody from her over song, was so harmonious that it melted the strong here of the mermaid.
This was the first time in history, where Malai, agreed to change the rules for a mortal.
Safe passage was granted and the poor lady entered the cave.
She acquired the drop of water she came for, and took off to her village where the love of her life was dying slowly.
On her way home other forces appeared in the evil forest. One of them was a baby beast, which demanded for the drop of water the maiden had just acquired.
But Ihunaya bluntly refused! To settle this dispute, a duel had to be made.
The competition came as a dancing competition.
Ihunaya had to defeat the spirit dancer in a tournament, else forfeit the drop of water she had.
This dance lasted for 2hrs, fortunately, she won!!
However this victory did not come easy, the gods had to intervene by possessing her and upgrading her skills.
At last, the Maiden reached her village to her love, who is almost grasping for his last breath.
She reached out for his mouth and dropped the water into it.
Although it seemed as if he didn't make it for the first 30min, he finally took a deep breath and opened his eye 1hr later.
Due to the awful experience, both parties decided to break the covenant they took.
With the covenant broken, there was nothing else to hold any of them in the relationship, other than True love, Sacrifice and Trust!
As for Chioma, she has been banished for her actions by the village elders and the ruling King.
Moral lessons:
Never take an Oath that involves blood, yea this may sound superstitious, but don't forget the medical implication of this!! You may get infected by a virus in the process!
Be contented with what you have, and don't poke nose into the affairs if your friends, the banishment of Chioma came as a result of her bad actions.
