[Mike’s Point of view ]

I saw the wall of the great Haragon embroidered with strange symbols

A large circle was drawn and all 14 of us the initiates, lined up. We were to step into the circle which was also surrounded by red candles one by one.

The Grand mistress of the Temple gave us bitter leave to chew.

As we struggled to chew and swallow the bitter leave , she said , from now on, your anger will blaze against your enemies

you will be bitter with rage and venom when you see them

You shall show them no mercy.

You will slit their throat and spit on their dead body

You shall hang their dead body on a stake and even vultures shall be ashamed to eat them

Their only friends will be worms

Their souls shall be cursed even in hell and their stench will be countenance with venom

Any hand that plan evil against you shall be cut off

And the cut off hand will develop worms

*****

We cut our palm with a knife and pour our blood in a pot suspended in the air.

And we screamed ” G-r-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-a-t Haragon,

Servant of the mighty Baphomet

Our blood is our Bond.

Today we pour it in your vessel

To pledge our allegiance to you and our vow that we will not sleep until we stood on top of the corpses of our enemies

And walk in their blood

***

The fourteen of us moved round the magic circle and we shouted

“G-r-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-a-t Haragon,

Servant to the ruler of the Universe

Who give wealth to all that diligently seek your help ,

to all that are bold to stand the test of time.

Your are powerful

You bring health and richness

To all who seek your help

CLAAAAANNNNG!! CLAAAAAAAAAANNNG!!!

CLAAAAAAAAAAAAANNG!!!×6

****

An eye for an eye

And a tooth for a tooth

Life for life

And Death shall be paid with Death

Sorrows and endless pain

Their agony shall multiply

Our enemies

They will walk blind into the depth of the Earth

The living and the dead shall unite .

One in thought,One in deed.

Peace be unto our friends who were killed

They were once like us, Soon we will be like them

Cursed be unto our enemies who took away their lives

They shall pay in equal measure

Life for life

And Death for Death

What was taken from me

I demand

what was taken from me shall be return in tenfold

(CLAAAANG!!,,CLAAAANG!!! CLAAAAANG!!,CLAANG! )

I seek mine that was denied me

Take theirs and deprive them

Worshippers of Haragon

Faithful servant of our Lord

The Grand master

And Lord of the Universe Baphomet.

Lord of hell and the hereafter

We seek Vengeance

Unquenchable Vengeance

We seek for what was taken from us

Give us back what was taken from us.

(CLAAAAANG!!,,CLAAAANG!!! CLAAAANG!!,CLAAANG! )

Our stolen items shall be returned to us.

We will drain their blood till they have nothing to give.

We will tear their flesh till only their bones are left

We will grind their bones till they become dust

We will imprison their souls

Even their soul shall not have a peaceful journey pass the gate of the abyss

We shall call upon the servants of Hadés to torment them on the way

And the hearts of their souls shall be pierced

Their screams shall be noises even in the world below

And day and night,they shall be tormented by Haragon

The Servant of the mighty Baphomet.

To our enemies we say

DEATH! DEATH!!! DEATH!!!

After the initiation rite, we were officially inducted into the occult.

We were taught the dos and donts and the sacred greed of the occult.

We stayed in the temple for three days, engulfed by an atmosphere of evil, charge with the voice of the devil and the demand for justice. It was a world of eye for an eye, no mercy.

When I returned home finally, I felt a sense of confidence in myself. To beat the devil, you must learn his tricks and find a way of manipulating them.

{Third Person Narration}

Toby Ryan and Zolabin were friends but Mike wasn’t aware of that until that night Sheila slept in his room and try made love.

Toby Ryan was never seen as a Criminal except his accomplices in the underworld . Even then ,he was seen as a ” Colleague.”

The public knew him as a business man. He dealt in Importation of Cars and spare parts as well as Merchandise.He also owned one of the biggest printing presses in the whole of Nigeria.

Zolabin’s business was not flourishing as it used to. His cassanovic habit was eating deep into his pocket. Apart from his Official wife,Cynthia who had activated her mourning mood since her brother Roberto was killed, Zolabin had 25 mistresses,all of whom had big taste for luxury things. A jobless woman with a big taste is an endangered specie.

Off course,he didn’t get all of them for his “pleasure.” There was an evil element in the equation.

It was quite paradoxical that while his business was plummeting into a loss, his friend Ryan’s car business and Merchandise was flourishing.

In order to stifle his friend’s business,Zolabin bribed the Custom Official’s Boss to seize Ryan’s Imported cars and printing materials and merchandise he ordered from China.

Then he crossed the red line by leaking their well guarded secret of crime. He told the media Toby was a drug Dealer.

Toby’s eldest daughter Sylvia had a boyfriend called Frank. He was a Custom Officer. He was there when Zolabin came to his boss to bribe him to seize Toby’s goods.

After work, he went to see Slyvia in

Zolabin’s Villa. Frank could easily understood why Toby was envied by his so-called friend.

When he scan the house with his house, he couldn’t help but gasp at the abundance of luxury in which

Toby was living . He saw Toby’s magnificent mansion.

Apart from the mansion, Toby had a fleet of expensive vehicles among them which are Chevrolet Coupe and Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Security men worked in the house 24 hours a day ,running shifts after every 6 hours.

Frank silently envied Toby’s properties. He had hope they would become his properties one day when he got married to Sylvia, Toby’s First born.

His basic reason for coming to Toby’s villa was not essentially to tell Slyvia about what Zolabin did. He knew Slyvia would tell her father and her father would ask the source of the information and Sylvia would mention his name. If that happens, then he would win Toby’s approval to marry his daughter. So he went to Toby’s villa and told Slyvia what Zolabin did.

As expected, Slyvia told his father what her boyfriend had told her.

Slyvia: Father, I have some disturbing news for you.

Toby :Okay,what is It?

Sylvia : My boyfriend told me that the seizure of your goods was not ordinary

Toby: Your boyfriend?

Sylvia: Yea,Father,Why? You have forgotten Frank?

Toby: Go ahead , what did he say?

Sylvia: You know he work at Customs Excise and Preventive service.

Toby : I’m not interested in his profession. Just tell me what he said that concern me.

Sylvia: Well,he said your friend Zolabin was the one who bribed his boss to seize your goods.

Toby : What? This is unbelievable. Are you sure of this?

Sylvia: Well, he has no reason to lie to me.

Toby : Maybe he does. He want to impress me to increase his chance of marrying you.

Sylvia: How can you tell his mind. Don’t you think it’s worth considering?

Toby : Anything is possible.

Sylvia: Well,I told you what I need to tell you. What ever you decide is up to you.

Toby : Thanks for the information,

Sylvia. I really do appreciate it.

Sometimes he wished Sylvia was a man. Between his two daughters, Slyvia was the wisest though Sheila was the most beautiful.

Sylvia was always a maths genius at high school while her sister was adept with English.

After offering accounting in high school she took the Association of Accounting Technicians ( AAT ).

Her dream was to become a chartered accountant, so she took a professional qualifications exam in Nigeria called The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Nigeria ICAN. She then did the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) to increase her chance of having a global edge over others.

She was invited to work at the Controller And Accountant General Department.Her intellectual abilities go hand in hand with her morals.
