☆☆
WAR OF THE RIVER WORLD


Though everything was planned to work against her and the princesses of the gods, there was however one detail Nshaa and the elder gods missed.

They made not plans on how to tame Ntani’s wide rage and fighting prowess.
Ntani was a beast a ravenous wolf, a raging bull. Legend has it that she was the first daughter of Amadioha and Ala; hence her anger. She did not just fight well; she worked her charm on her fellow spirits and made a call which aroused all the spirits in the river world who loved to dwell in Ukeh to rise and fight for the ‘Land of love’. Her speech wipped them into frenzy and they rose to fight. However all who heard her did not fight as she wanted, there were those who in the fury turned on the river world and began to destroy its beauty. That day there were many of them who freely committed acts which the gods considered sacrilegious. But, war was war; Nshaa had to live with the consequences of his treachery against the children of the gods and the land of Ukeh. Within days the beauty of the river world was marred. Spirits good and bad got high on the allure of battles and went berserk. The children of the gods and the princesses of the gods had thrown their weight around and pull off stunned victories against the dreaded damned spirits and the army of the river world. To see through his plans, Nshaa and the elder gods came to battle. Ntani was happy that they finally came to fight, she was wondering at some points if they would not. Rallying the battle drunk army at her command, Ntani and the children of the gods locked horns with the elder gods, all twnety of them, in rounds of epic battle spiritual bodies were torn and flung into the air like rags. The battle ground was filled with m0ans and groans of death and destruction.


The gods were besides themselves and so were the children of the gods. As the battle raged, Nshaa secertly sent Ojadili out of the river world to go slaughter Obinze and make certain that Ukeh was destroyed. He also sent two emissaries out, one to Urenma and the other to Ntani. Each emissary bore a secret which the gods above and the river world had hoped would be kept hidden for eternity, Nshaa in his bid to destory Obinze and Ukeh will go against the council of the gods and would bring untold misery to a land that had known peace for centuries.


URENMA AND OBOJORO

Urenma rushed into Nwangele River and stood in it, seeing her; Obojoro came to the surface of the water and began to speak breathlessly, “War! Urenma there is war! The damned spirits Nshaa has woken up; great war they wage against the pricesses. Ojadili has been given a body, Atari inhabits him. Nshaa hopes to march his army upon Ukeh. Even as I speak, many damned spirits has he settled on your land. Ntani fights bravely, but she and the princesses are too few to stop Nshaa and the damned spirits. You must join the battle in the river world. You must not let it come to Ukeh land. I have heard rumour, Nshaa wants to destroy the land of Ukeh”. “Then I must go now to wake UTEBE and the rouge spirits”. “Oh! I forget to mention it, Utebe has woken and fights on the side of the princesses”. “You must return now and inform all who are on our side that I come and that I come to battle! Raise their spirits with the news of my coming. Let the princesses stand their ground beside Ntani. Tell the river world her princess returns, and that she is coming with war and death! Now be on your way!”

Obojoro swerved and made a dive into the belly of the river and vanished.
Turning, Urenma saw Obinze and her two children all battle ready. “No you are not going with me to the river world. Yes I can cross everyone of you to that world in an instant, but Ukeh must be protected. Nshaa schemes to destroy it.
Leave the gods to me, I shall return in time to join you in battle here in Ukeh”. “No! Ure, I will go with you”, said Obinze. “If you go with me, my love, who then shall protect your land. According to Obojoro there are warriors and damned spirits from the river world already in Ukeh land. Let me go alone, I shall return in time I promise”.

Grudgingly Obinze agreed. While Obinze and Urenma exchanged hugs and kisses, Obiakor and his sister, Olachi sneaked away. They had heard from their mother that there were spirits from the river world already in Ukeh land; their intention was to engage them in battle.
