Dial - Season 2 - Episode 73

I let out my breath slowly and giggled with great relief. I walked on weakly, and soon came to a pool filled with crocodiles. One reared out of the pool and sped toward me. I screamed and took frantic steps back, lost my balance and sat down heavily on my butt. I watched, horrified, as it moved at me, dwarfing me with its bulk, and I kept screaming, but when it got to me it simply shot past me, and when I turned my head I saw that there was a man standing there, and the crocodile was licking some seeds from the man’s outstretched hand.

It was that man, the apple-grabbing, cloth riding, curse-inducing, horrible man with the grey hair who had introduced himself as Nana b0s0mba to me.

He was in a black local wear that covered him from top to his ankles, and he was smiling broadly.

The Holy Man of Wowo.

“Hello, Yao,” he said gently. “I knew you would make it. Welcome to my home.”
I got slowly to my feet as the man patted the crocodile on the back of its head and moved past me.

“Let’s go, Yao,” he said. “Time for breakfast.”

“You’re not Nana b0s0mba,” I said in a soft voice.

“Obviously not,” he said with another giggle. “I just borrowed his identity for a while.”

“And you’re not a fetish priest!” I said again as I followed him.
He chuckled.

“God forbid!” he said, shaking his head. “No, I’m not a fetish priest, Yao. No fetish priest can do what I do, and no fetish priest can add one hair to the hair on your head, let alone cause you to grow prematurely old. My powers come from the only source of pure power, the God almighty.”

“So why? I stopped and asked the question. “Why the deception, please? Why did you make me believe you were a fetish priest?”
He stopped and turned.

“Because people are scared of fetish priests, can you imagine?” he said with a chuckle. “When you tell someone you’re a powerful man of God, they scorn you. Tell them you’ve placed an evil curse on them, and they believe you! Isn’t that absolutely stupid? Meanwhile, all power comes from God. I needed to work on you, so I approached it from an angle I would have the most success!”
