Donigspain - S01 E01

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1

My birth was conventional, at best, although it was surrounded by some events which later helped to shape my upbringing as well as always serve as a guide to most things I do in life. My dad is both the first son of his father as well as the only son of his mother. Prior to his birth, there was an existing panic since male children had already died before their fifth birthday and thus he was left with little care as the family already believed he would not make it up to his fifth birthday judging by the already established trend. Little wonder why he had no name and also carried dreads up to his 7th birthday. It was at this time that his elder sister decided to not only shave him but also christen him and thus people actually started to recognize him as the possible heir to the throne. Fast forward fifteen years later, the issue of him starting a family and raising children, especially males, began to creep in. It was at this juncture that my beautiful mum was chosen to be the blessed womb that will carry yours favourite (donigspain). The union was almost immediately blessed with a daughter to the joy of all. Two years later my mum took in again and yet this time came also a female child; this event kinda triggered some fears since there was a need for male children which would guarantee the continuity of the family name. Suggestions for a second wife began to come up but suprisingly my dad refused to give in and he also swore to stand beside my mum with or without a male child. Seven years passed after the last birth with no sign of pregnancy talk more of it turning out to be male. Tensions were at it’s peak yet my dad stood his ground even when pity made my mum to suggest he took to his people’s advice.

While all these transpired on earth, I, in my ethereal form, was busy enjoying and partying with the undescribably beautiful damsels of the celestial realm. The supreme Lord of all then requested for my presence to which I immediately answered to. He, pointing to my mum, beckoned me to go and wipe her tears, bring her untold joy and happiness as well as ensure the continuity of the family lineage. It was on the fourteenth year of marriage, eight year of last conception which happened to be the 25th day in the month of April that my emergence into the physical realm (earth) was welcomed with much shouts of joy, merry making and much slaughtering of fowls, goats and a cow (apologies/RIP to the animals).

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Note: Other male children (my uncles) were raised from the other wives (my two step-grannies) after the birth of my dad.
