Arrogant Little Girl

...

"Uoops" Anu's chest tightened as She gasped. Her eyes which had been a brilliant white began fading to normal.

"Nooo… This can't be." She muttered , rubbing the temples of her head. She was seated behind a desk that had various scrolls around. It seemed like she was the custodian of scrolls.

She raised now, her long loose black hair falling around her shoulders. Anu eyes revealed fatigue. Not necessarily fatigue. Irunmoles did not could feel tiredness although they could feel hurt. It was more like her eyes had dulled due to seating in one place all day long.

Her chocolate lean skin radiated beauty like never before, complemented by her flowing white gown that had golden arms. At her waist was a string of golden beads seated there, adding more radiance to her.

Her eyes whitened again.

"All Alphas prepare for extraction. First Prime, the elder has being… being attacked…"She stopped short as she put her hands on her hips.

Anu was the 2nd Prime in Ilu Obatala by title, but Ascendancy classed. And being above prime class, she was able to get linked mentally to other Primes and hence could always be aware of any threat the other Prime had encountered. This was an ability shared with only Irunmoles at Prime Class.

Currently, there were Ten Irunmole Classes. There were split into Basic, then Ground/Messenger, Elite, Omni, Lord, Omega, Alpha, Prime, Ascendancy and DemiGod Classes.

The basic class was the soul class that a being was born into, a low and meagre amount of energy that only sustained their being alive except in special cases where a few could manipulate some of that energy to power their innate abilities.

Ignoring Basic, Messenger/Ground class irunmoles were the recognizable form of irunmoles and their duty, was just what their class names implied. A messenger class irunmole was the irunmole who basically had to run errands between Orun and Ile aye(1). And they were the weakest, having no basic knowledge of combat and also being cut off from Agbara.

So, for the messenger classed irunmole to effectively perform their duties, they had to be accompanied by Elite Irunmole who escorted them through the 2nd Heaven, also known as Orun Apaadi, warding off demon and beasts attacks.

Following closely was the pseudo-elite. This was the class where messenger irunmoles were beginning to take interest in combat. Also because, it was necessary for them to be able to defend themselves in Aye where they would be without the protection of the Elite classed Irunmoles.

The next was the elite classed irunmoles. This group had more combat knowledge and were the base form of warring soldiers. An Irunmole in this class was considered a proper Emi Ogun(2). This Irunmole could combat beasts and demons but only in their numbers. Single elite wanting to take down a demon would be wiped out, unless the demon was weakened.

There were Pseudo classes in between each class of irunmoles. Where an Irunmole could perform feats typical to the class above them. However, this was only temporary or something they called 'Blessings of the Gods'.

Ignoring pseudo classes, the next class after Elite was the Omni Class. What differentiated the Omni class from any other lower class was the fact Omega classed could 'Soul Gaze'. Soul Gazing was an ability that gave an irunmole important info about an opponent. Info like health stats, energy ranking and power levels. More so, being at this class gave more you more combat moves to use and independency from 'IMOLE MO' which was the basic weapon level of Irunmole.

Next was Lord Classed Irunmoles. Irunmole in this category were stronger and much more powerful than other irunmole.

Followed by Omega classed Irunmoles, after which was Alpha Class.

This irunmole in Alpha possessed the capability to communicate with Awon Orisha which was something a lower class Irunmole was incapable of. Aside from this, Alphas had the general capability to draw upon a special type of Creation power known as 'Agbara'(3) which is derived solely from their physical stamina to deal brute damage.

Finally, the most readily available powerful class was Prime Class. Because leveling to a higher class took a considerable amount of time and experience, there were only few Primes in Orun Emi Ogun. Primes had the inherent Ability to communicate directly with the gods whenever they wanted to. Primes naturally had the blessing of the gods which was an innate barrier that surrounded them, magnifying their auras to god level. In some instances, the aura of a prime alone could be used to repel an attack. Also Prime class could also communicate mentally via telepathy to all classes of irunmole.

Reaching Prime stage was the ultimate achievement for all Irunmole as passing it to higher level was such a Herculean task. A prime was capable of launching out force field attacks that could cover up for several meters. Unlike the other classes that required getting close to the opponent to deal damage.

(A/N-Note that each class had a subclass/pseudo class in between. One had to reach that class and level up also before truly attaining the next class.

Classes that exist!

Basic- Ground- Elite- Omni- Lord- Omega- Alpha- Prime- Ascendancy- DemiGod)

"Elder is truly reckless. How could he go out with just the protection of Elite Irunmole? Not even Pseudo Omegas…" Anu nagged noisily to herself, clapping her hands continuously. She began pacing through the room over and over. It was her own way of letting out steam.

"What kind of carelessness is this? Why? Is it because he is The Elder. Does he not know that responsibility that lies on his head? EH? I don't understand oh. Even if you have all power.. I mean. Even Eledumare had to seal off Him. Why? Eledumare could have just left him roaming about. After all, Eledumare is the most powerful existence.. No… Eledeumare sealed him. That was Carefulness. Who does First Prime think he is. Eh?"

"Such arrogance! Ah… Now, imagine the type of strain, he is putting me through. What do I do? Now , I am the one in charge of governance here. I can't leave. And I don't trust those Alphas to effectively deal with whatever is attacking them there."

"Ah… Eledumare, egba mi oh. Ewo le leyi oh(4)" Anu nagged, putting her hands over her head, her face a mask of worry.

"Come sef(5), I don't even know what is attacking them gan(6). Let me contact Maerius again."

Now, her eyes gleamed white again. It flickered on and off, an indication that her telepathy was having trouble connecting. This meant that the contact senses were currently not balanced to pick on a telepathic message. Except in cases, where the person was extremely powerful.

"Chai(7)… Maeriussssssssss.. Steady your mind." Anu wringed her hands.

She bit her fingers now, trying to contact Maerius again for the situation level he was experiencing. If only she was there and not cursed with this custodian duty…

If only… Anu thought, before her eyes flashed white.

She gasped as her body went motionless.

"What ? Rare Classed? " Her heart ceased, joining in the motionless state her body was in.

Fear had crept up into her entire being. "No, no… If it floored Elder… No… No… no…" Anu gasped uncontrollably as the white in her eyes died out.

*** ***

The massive white building that had huge statues of Various Orisha basked with activity. The steel faced guards that usually lined all the entrance seemed to be in a state of uneasiness and unrest. It looked like trouble had opened in paradise.

And because of this, security was relatively low at the Council House. Enabling a girl to walk into the premises freely and unnoticed.

This girl was Niniola, the exiled one.

She smiled ruefully at the fact that the council house was agog with action. Something was definitely going on. She could bet her celestiality that it was big.

And she was going to be in on this.

Niniola had since been banished from her Ilu because her curiosity had taken the best of her. It was often said that curiosity made 'HIM' to rebel and desire Eledumare's power.

Hence utmost curiosity had been forbidden among Irunmole. But she was stubborn too. Had sneaked into the council house of Ilu Aganju(8) to know what exactly was always discussed in there during the visit of Orisha Aganju.

And she was punished severely for it. In fact, she was not supposed to be existing as of now. Orisha Aganju had simply been too merciful to her.

But all that had not taught her not flee curiosity. What it had taught her was that she was never ever going to 'officially' level up as she was already considered outcast by all other Ilu. And for you to level up, you needed to be properly gauged and ascertained in the Class Exams.

Only by passing the exams could you be considered as to be leveled up due to your certificate badge. However, her current status meant she was never going to take any exams.

But she was resilient. There were other ways of doing things. After all, the exams tested your physical test. So what if she kept on practicing each time?

Hence, Niniola had taken to fighting beasts creatures in Orun Apaadi, leveling up faster than even those who had to obtain certificates. But this had a disadvantage as your Irunmole rank could never be known unless you were in combat mode.

Which rarely happened in Orun Emi Ogun.

'The only way to know what is what is to get an informant.' Niniola thought as she cracked her knuckles.

"Eleyi ma dun gan(9)" She said as her eyes narrowed on her target.

She soul gazed him.

Name: Ayoni Abayomi

Class: Elite

Energy Rating: 10,000

Soul gazing was a feat only achievable by Omega Classed Irunmoles. And for Niniola to soul gaze, it meant she was high up in the class ranking. However, her soul gazing did not give sufficient information about her target which meant she was in Pseudo-Omega class

Her feet blurred as she flickered soundlessly on the ground. In a split second, she had reached for the arm of Abayomi and tugged viciously, throwing him off balance.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, she had picked up speed again catching him in midmotion. And in an instant, was in the safety of the trees.

"AHHH…!"

That was all Ayoni could say. All he knew was that, he felt a tug on his arm. That was all he remembered. Whatever and whoever had pulled at him was faster than he could react. Despite the fact that he was an Elite Irunmole.

"Ah" He muttered as he struggled to his feet.

It was bad enough that he had been 'hijacked'. What was worse was for him to remain off guard for less than a minute. But, he thought, whoever or whatever it was that had hijacked him could have killed him off since.

Why go through all the trouble to bring him when it was a risk.

"Ahem… Over here" The voice came from behind him.

He slowly turned, trying to anticipate the next action from the owner of the voice. As he turned back, he saw a girl with a carefree look that seemed to say you-were-too-easy. She was mocking him.

"How dare you? Hijacking me, an elite class. Ah o ti tan fun e(10)"He grunted, his aura spreading out immediately.

"Humph… See him, mentioning Elite, like as if I don't already know. I eat Elites like you for breakfast" Niniola face palmed

"Y-YOU…" Ayoni grunted. This arrogant little girl. He needed to teach her manners.

"Okay, let's get things straight. You were hurrying somewhere previously, right? So, here's it . I want to know what's causing all this commotion here. Tell me this and I might let you go, after I spare your life."
