"Welcome, Brother" Sango said to Ogun as he dropped from the sky in the heat of the battle.
Both of them had been summoned to the battlefront when the soldiers offered up a prayer to the old gods at their temple.
They had to leave the Temple of the old gods and it's glory and perform their war duties. This times, men were still worshipping the old gods and serving them. Their temple was always filled up with people day and night. People came from all over the world to burn incense and offered up sacrifices to the old gods at the Temple, praying for protection and guidance.
The Northern kingdom had sent spies to spy on the great and powerful Kingdom of Oyo. The spies had returned and told them about the prosperity of the land, how rich and goodly the kingdom is.
The Northern elders had agreed to go on war and conquer the Land of Oyo for themselves and expand their Dominion to the far ends of the Earth.
The Oyo Kingdom had called up their armies to fight off the Invaders coming from the North on the battlefield.
"We have to seek the help of the gods" said the war chief, after the spy who had went ahead to spy on the Northern kingdom armies returned with an unsettling news.
Hence the whole city gathered at the temple of the Old gods, offering sacrifices and burning incense, praying to the gods to come to their aid.
"My Lord, help us" cried out a wounded soldier. Sango with his lightning whip and thunderbolt dashed to the battlefield, slaying the armies of The North as he runs forward. Ogun was by his side, Raining swords , Spears and iron arrows down on The Northern armies.
The Oyo Kingdom armies began to fell on the wounded armies of the Northern kingdom easily.
it was a beautiful sight to see, both Ogun and Sango wrecked havoc on the battlefield.
The kingdom of the North stood no chance against the mighty Yoruba gods of iron and lightning. The Northern kingdom armies retreated and took off for their safety. Never to return and never to look down on the Oyo Kingdom.
They have learnt their lesson, and paid the price in blood and ashes.
But that was ages ago, Ogun muttered to himself.
"Attack, now" Ogun ran forward with his sword in his right hand, he aimed for the head of the man, the man dodged the attack, grabbed Ogun by his right hand wrist, twisted the wrist till the sword fell down from Ogun hands, crunching some of his wrist bones.
Ogun shouted in pain.
"Quiet, you are weak, you are meant to become a warrior god" the man said to Ogun.
Ogun now on his knees, trying so hard to use his left hand to massage his right hand wrist, crying out in pain.
"Again, attack me" the man said.
"I can't hold a sword" Ogun said, with his head down and his jaw touching his chest.
"You are the god of iron, you do not need to hold a sword, use your mind and control it" The man said to Ogun in a very firm voice.
"How* Ogun muttered.
" You are the god of iron, figure it out damnit" the man said angrily.
Ogun stood on his feet, his eyes closed, he concentrated fully on the sword on the ground, a swift vibration echoes gently, the sword got lifted up, floating in the air.
That was my childhood moments, these are my old memories, Ogun muttered out.
"Come, come, This Horse is for you" Sango said to Ogun.
"Wow, it's really beautiful" Ogun muttered.
It was a sterning black Horse, a special royal breed. Ogun jumped on the horse, his hands on the stirrup, he rode the horse into a race against Sango.
"hiyah"
What's happening to me, Ogun muttered.
"Wake up, you have to wake up My Lord" it was Asake voice, ringing deep in Ogun ears, he opened his eyes quick enough to see it coming. Ogun raised down his head as the mysterious creature flew above it with his teeth gnawing against each other. He missed Ogun head.
Now the sea creature stands opposite Ogun, Ogun saw it clearly, it is a Megoledon, a powerful sea creature, and riding it was a dark figure, a crown on his head, a vivid inscription on his breastplate "Belphegor, Lord of Hell"
"Are you the one that attacked my temple" Ogun cried out.
"You have killed the Leviathan, one of the Lord's of Hell and you have brought him back soulless and turned him to your pet, you shall pay for this. The Lords of Hell stand against you" cried out Belphegor in a mysterious dark tone.
"Then I shall slaughter The Lord's of Hell" declared Ogun.
Both riding a powerful beast, Belphegor riding the Megoledon, Ogun riding the reincarnated Leviathan.
The sea was quite, both charged against each other, the sea began to roar, or as the fisherman said, "the sea was crying"
Noises could be heard in the neighboring villages, echoes of strange noise carrying disturbing evil.
The sound was coming from the deep Sea.
Both beast collided against each other, the Leviathan sinking his teeth deep into the Megoledon, the Megoledon gave out a shout. The Megoledon tried to bite the Leviathan with his sharp teeth, but it was to no avail, for the Leviathan body was covered with scales.
The Leviathan breathed out fire, burning up the Megoledon deep at the bottom of the Sea, The Megoledon shouted, it was his last as it was reduced to ashes at the bottom of the Sea.
No Sea creature could have stand a chance against the brutality of the Megoledon, but The Leviathan was no ordinary beast, he was one of the seven Lord's Of Hell.
Belphegor leaped from the Megoledon, caught the Leviathan's tail, climbing it upward.
Ogun draw his sword, both staring at each other's eyes. They charged against each other, the sea emitting out waves so powerful that it began sinking ships on the Sea as their swords collide against each other.
Ogun dodged an incoming sword attack, he attacked back immediately with his sword, Belphegor leaped up, landed at Ogun back with a slash on his back, Ogun screamed out.
Belphegor leaped with full strength, his sword in his right hand, Ogun managed to block the attack, a clang , Ogun sword shattered in pieces.
Apparently Ogun sword stood no chance against the Lord of Hell demonic sword.
A flash flush through Ogun eyes, he was down, Belphegor had hit him on his face with a blow so hard that Ogun lost his balance.
Ogun spat out blood at the bottom of the Sea, he stood defenseless against Belphegor.
Belphegor raised up his sword, and just before he could deliver the final blow, a lightning struck him on his chest, a figure stood above him in the sea, with full hands stretched towards Belphegor, and lightning shooting at his chest. Belphegor shouted, his sword fell down from his hands, and in that moment, Ogun grabbed the sword, and drive the sword straight through Belphegor chest.
Belphegor screamed out loud, and then slowly he became dust at the bottom of the Sea.
"Thank you, Brother" Ogun said to Sango.
"You have to hurry, the remaining Lord's of Hell are gathering up their armies, they are about to attack the world of the Living" said Sango to Ogun.
"But why" Ogun muttered.
"Lucifer, the king of Hell has been known to always want to expand his kingdom in the land of the Living, when you attack his armies on the battlefield, he took that as an excuse to exact his wrath upon humans"
" what about the Elder gods, they can't allow this abomination to happen" said Ogun.
Sango sighed," none of them is ready to face the King of Hell, Lucifer" said Sango.
" I'll stop him" said Ogun.
"Farewell, Brother" both hugged at the bottom of the Sea.
Darkness darkness darkness
"It is time, my Lord" said Satan.
"Where is Belphegor, he should be back by now" said Belzebub.
"Belphegor is no more" said Lucifer.
And there was a roar in Hell.
"He is coming" repeated Lucifer.
"He must not be allowed to reach my throne room" ordered Lucifer.
the remaining Lord's of Hell bowed, and they were gone.
In the gross darkness, a noise echoed through the deep. the demons of Hell looked in awe at what was coming. A Leviathan being ride by a man.
Ogun rode the Leviathan, head straight into the Gate of Hell, a smash, and the Gate of Hell shattered into pieces.
