Elebuo : my son, don’t lose hope yet, days are like that at times, just have patience with time everything will be alright (he said to his son, and at the same time he was still worried)
Nnana: (with a concern tone) papa please tell me what is bothering you, I have been observing you since I came back, you are looking worried, what is the matter? please talk to me am your son and you are all I have
Elebuo : (sighed) Nnana, you know you are my only child and my only hope, and if anything happens to you my lineage will be close
Nnana : (confused look) papa I don’t understand where you are heading to, yes I know we will all die one day, but this one you are talking now, I don’t understand
Elebuo : my son, what am trying to say is about the journey you will embark soon, remember you were chosen this morning to be among the men that will go to the deadly Forest
Nnana : Yes I remembered papa, and am glad to be among the men that will embark on the journey
Elebuo : did I hear you said glad, Nnana! you want to embark on a deadly journey, are you aware that nobody goes to that Forest and comes out alive, do you want me to be childless? eh Nnana answer me, do you want your blind father to die of heartbreak? please my son, for the sake of your late mother, please back out from that journey, I don’t want to lose you I beg you (he pleaded)
Nnana : please you have to understand that this journey to the deadly Forest is for our own good, remember that it was the calamity happening in this our land that lead to your blindness, and if we don’t embark on this journey, we might all perish, nobody knows who will die next, is better I die in the deadly Forest as a hero, than to die in this village, please papa try to understand my point that this journey we will Soon embark is for the betterment of this kingdom, but don’t worry, when the time come for we to embark on the journey, I will tell Nkechi the maiden I want to marry to come and take care of you till I return, if only I will survive the journey
