"Please, let us go" Adoebe pleaded, "come on let's go have fun", the man closest stretched his trying to hold Bibi's hand but she slapped his hand away. He furiously look at her " you are going to pay" he raised his hand to slap her, Bibi shut her eyes waiting to be struck but instead she heard the man crying out she opened her eyes just to find the most beautiful being twisting the warrior's hand, behind him are other handsome creatures beating the warriors "I don't like it when men raised their hands to a woman" his mesmerizing voice was like a soothing tune to her. She couldn't stop ogling at the beauty in front of her, the warriors of their village has finally arrived, they started fighting with the Udo warriors and the seven heavenly men joined them, the Udo warriors retreated, the injured and dead victims were taken back to the village including Adoebe's father.

Bibi walked to the young handsome man who was talking to the head of the warriors known as Ogonna, the warrior left and Bibi went to him. "Thank you" he heard a female voice, he turned around and saw a pretty lady, "you don't need to thank me" he flashed her a childish grin, which made her heart flustered. "Please what village are you from, am sure that you are not from Uma" "am from Epa pointed left, the girl squinted her eyes, " but Epa is on the right, he saw the direction she was pointing at, "Is that so" he scratched his head, "am bad with directions" he laughed awkwardly, Bibi nodded. Uncomfortable silence grew between them, he kept looking around while she played with her nails, Ogonna returned "the chief wants to meet you and friends. " ok sure, later" he smiled at her and left with the warrior. Bibi facepalmed herself. "Idiot, you didn't ask for his name" "are you talking to yourself" Adoebe cunningly smiled at her friend, "now tell me, the conversation you had with that handsome young man. Bibi's cheeks redden " Nothing I just thanked him, am going home, bye" she quickly left her friend.

THE CHEIF'S COMPOUND

The young men sat down as they all looked like perfect sculptures, like a being granted the opportunity to create themselves, perfectly handsome and well built, their skin looks so smooth like a baby's bottom and their skin was glowing. "I want to thank you, young men, again for assisting our warriors and saving Bibi from the Udo warriors, he frowned " Bibi" the name smoothly rolled down his tongue, he smiled when the realization hits him, "so the young lady, I helped her name is Bibi" the chief nodded as he sipped his palm wine, "I will have to talk to the Udo chief again, the boy is crossing the line" the chief looked pissed off, "may I suggest something" the young man spoke "and what may that be", " how about a match between the strongest warriors", the chief like the Idea but he looked worried about the result. "I heard from a friend who lives in Udo that the warrior of Udo will beat my strongest warrior" "I know for a fact" the young man grinned " if he fights against me, I guarantee you that, I will win" the chief gazed at the confident young man "and why should I believe that" "because am confident in my skill, if you want a demonstration, I can show you by fighting all your warriors" the chief stared at him with wide eyes then he smiled "ok tomorrow, you shall fight with the warriors of Uma village, and what's your name young man" the chief is still scrutinizing him, "my name is Alem lupa, my friends over here are Jum, Laiz, Faiz, Kutz, Ilim and Kin". " you boys, have some pretty weird names" they all laugh to that. They gave them a large hut and served them dinner, "looks like they are throwing a feast for us," Ilim said with a smile, he opened the calabash to find pounded yam and egusi soup with chicken

A/n: pounded yam and egusi soup is a popular Nigerian dish that is very delicious 😄🤗.

His mouth started salivating at the sight of the dish, Kutz shook his head, "why are you helping them" Kin asked he sat down with his arms folded across his chest. "I just felt like helping" Alem sat down to eat, "but they are humans" Jum scrunched up his face. "I know but I want to create a world where mamiwatas and humans can leave in peace" he swallowed a large piece of molded pounded yam mixed with egusi soup. "And do you think the humans will ever agree to that, trust me when I say that if they find out that who we are, they will forget that we helped them" Laiz the younger twin said, they all quietly ate the delicious meal? "I believe, I can create a world, where we can all live in peace, just wait and see" Alem smiled at his friends who looked worried, they all don't know what the future has in store for them.
