Ikhulu namashumi amahlanu nanhlanu (155)

Nikola stood in the middle of a clearing as animals hissed and roared around her. Light poured in and over the scene from all sides. To her rear was the forest and in front of her was the ocean. In the far distance stood the waterfall and the cliff loomed above it. She starred at it with a dreadful feeling in the pit of her stomach. 

"Ni-ku-laaa," an ominous voice called out to Nikola from beyond the shore. 

She knew the voice but he wasn't sure from where she knew it. It was definitely one of the Orishas but she wasn't sure which one. It was demanding and sort of scary but Nikola fought against her impulse to bow her head. 

Fuck them. Whoever they were, they were one of them and they had abandoned her. 

"Stop it. Stop it now," the voice commanded.
