BATTLE BETWEEN A MORTAL AND SWORD SPIRIT
Having friends who are ready to help Maria, but it seemed impossible, for it was a Spirit not a mere mortal.
Maria was so diversitated that she didn't know how to get rid of the spirit sword all she could do was to contemplate on what to do.
" How can l get reid of this emerging predicament! She thought. Should l throw the sword away? Perambulating up and down pondering what to do. She then cinched to bury it a far, where no eye will perceive.
Quickly she rushed in the hut, picked the sword and embarked on unknown journey in a haste. Wondering where she was Hasting so fast as if something is perusing her, Odeke decided to follow secretly for behind.
Reaching in a distant location the sword was layed down, a diggers was picked, so fast she started digging a hole , unbeknownst to her , Odeke was watching.
A spritz of sand splashed from the ground to her face yet she didn't stop. Slowly a sword was immersed into the hole then properly buried.
Later sher treked back to the village so exhilarated , the enigma had been resolved. The smile at her face was so drop- dead gorgeous that anywho sees her would espy that she was blissful . As she treked Odeke was persuing from behind her.
With a conceded look she entered her Hut where suddenly she was wordless in rage her jaws clenched, her eyes brows come together, as the eye glares even the lips narrowed, nostrils flares and her fists clenched after grasping at the sword she has buried in a distant land was inside her hut.
" What's the meaning of this! She thought.
" You can't get reid of me, l am you, you are me, we're inseparable. The voice come from the sword. It was so devastating for Maria. "What do you want from me! Maria asked . Yet all the sword would reply was "kill him and l will let you be. Or better still set me free from here to your body so we can work together.
Upon hearing it's speech, maria knew if she emancipate the sword spirit it would bring disaster to not only Morungatuny but also Ngora kingdom were she originated from.
Worst was she would control Maria since she's less powerful compared to it. " Do you take me for afool! Maria asked . While the peeping Odeke knew that he had to inform others about his findings.
" Okirror, there's fire on the mountai! He said while gasping for air since he over run. What is it ? Be calming, he said , not tell me what happened. Odeke elaborated the scenario to him . Little did they know that a fight between maria and the spirit was in going.
She picked her sword to challenge the spirit. A loud clash and slashing was heard which drew attention of some passerbys, what's happening? They were all flabbergasted as they saw a moving sword without a fighter yet it fought with much agility and aggression with Maria.
hope you know l can kill you it said but l can't because if you succumb now you shall never reincarnate again and l will not be set free. " I shall never work with you to kill the innocent nor will l allow you to use my flesh to do evil, never! Responded Maria so bitterly.
Fighting with the unknown is like fighting with air or your imagination. Some non existing thing, that mission impossible.
The sound from the swords was so irritating as the clench on each other. As the fight was commercing to stop the fight Odeke come in between both of them which led to a serious injury on him as the sword spirit pierced him direct to the stomach.
A splash of blood split on Maria's face as she glimpsed a only to see a stream of blood coming out of the prince's belly.
No.....!,
No...!
She screamed so loud that her eyes become red bloodshot and narrowed, while eyebrows contracted together, her face turned pale with much agitation she tried to clash the sword but it was so useless.
If you dare to harm him again , l will kill myself, she said bitterly as tears rolled down her cheeks. I am not a monster like you, ple leavee and my people a lone she said.
The spirit of the goddess in the sword wants to take over Marias body to fulfill her plans . Yet maria swore never to let her hurt the innocent because of her past.
Slowly she lifted the prince up and carried her to the hut where the herbalist come with immediate effect. Slowly he checked his palms and then applied a concoction to his wound.
" You majesty the next time he gets such a wound again, even the gods will not be able to save him. Said the herbalist.
She looked at the innocent boy laying down because of her , guilty catched her.
" But why!... Why are you always laying your life for me . What do you gain from it! She said but all she spoke he wasn't hearing because he was unconscious .
