The red vulture - S01 E25

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 25

Afoite : (wailing) Nooo…. Ndubuisi can not just die like that

Agu : But! what could have happened to him, does it mean he died in his sleep just like that? (asking no one in particular)

Nnana : Am still confused of his death, not that he was sick, he just slept and didn’t wake up, this is strange, and is only the gods that know what happened to him (After everything, they buried Ndubuisi there and mourned for him, but still they didn’t know what lead to his death, After they buried Ndubuisi, they left that place sadly and continue their journey)

Meanwhile, the priestess was in her cave seeing all that is happening in the forest, in her sacred mirror.

Priestess : (talking in her cave) look at how they are dying like chickens, all because they don’t heed to instructions, hmmm…… what a stubborn people (she said and shake her head)

**BACK IN EJIME VILLAGE**

As all this was going on, the people of Ejime village continue to die and also terrible things continue to happen, and the men they send to the forest are not yet back with THE RED VULTURE, and this began to trouble the people so much.

The king was in the palace looking worried because of the things happening in the village, so he send his guards to go and summon the elders for a meeting, and the guards went and summon the elders, when the elders came to the palace they saw the king looking sad, although they already know the reason for that.

King : you are all welcome my cabinets

Elders : Thank you igweee, may you live long (They said)

King : Ah ah…. but why is MBA not with you people? (he asked because elder mba was not in the meeting with them)

Elder okeke : I don’t know, maybe he will come later

king : Anyway let’s start the meeting, we can’t wait for him, the reason why I called for this meeting is that, is been six days now that our brave men went to the deadly Forest, and yet they are not back, My question now is that, are you sure they are okay in the forest? that was why I summoned for this meeting

Elder Akumo : I think they are okay, but all the same I will suggest we summon the priestess to tell us if the men are still alive in the forest

Elder okeke : you are saying we should summon the priestess, were you not here, when she said that she will not come until when the men bring THE RED VULTURE, that she will come again.

Elder Anene: But how are we going to know if the men are okay, that is why we need to summon her to know if our men are okay

Elder okeke : my question now is, what if the men didn’t make it alive in the forest, what are we going to do?

king : we will send another men to the forest, that is why we need to summon the priestess to know if they are still alive, because the calamity happening in this land is getting out of hand

Elder okeke : but the problem now is, the journey to her cave will take up to five days, and if we still get there, she will tell us that she will come in seven days time, remember she is the priestess of the seven seas and she represent seven

Elder Anene: yes is true ooo….. and if we add that five days we will journey to her cave, and the seven days she will come, which means is twelve days that we will get to see her

Elder Akumo : And before that twelve days, maybe the whole villagers will all perish before that time

king : Hmmm…… you know what, you my cabinets will go to her cave and ask her if our brave men are okay in the forest, no need to tell her to come, just ask her everything you need to ask her, then you come back and tell me what she said

Elder okeke: ok your highness, so when are we going there?

king : I think tomorrow will be oka…….. (the king have not finish his statement, when Ntu the drunkard staggered inside the palace)

Ntu : (staggering) igweee…… i greet you

king : Ntu! welcome, this one you came to the palace, I hope all is well

Ntu: All is not well igwee…. The men that went to the evil bush to bring THE BLUE VULTURE have not return, you see what am telling you about but you didn’t hear, I told you that I want to go to the evil bush myself and bring the blue vulture but you refused (he said and the king smiled)

Elder Akumo : Ntu! is RED VULTURE and not blue

Ntu : Okay RED VULTURE, so igwe, should I go and bring it, so that all this calamity in our land will end

Elder Akumo : (laughing) you want to go and bring THE RED VULTURE?

Ntu : Yes I want to go and bring it (he said staggering)

Elder okeke : From where?

Ntu : From the evil bush (he said and the elders laughed because they know him as a drunkard and he’s always talking out of point)

king : ok…ok…. you will bring the vulture, but which one are you going to bring for us, is it the blue or the RED VULTURE

Ntu : (still staggering) the both igwe, even if you want, I can also bring the purple vulture (As they were still talking, Elder MBA came inside with boils all over his body, when the king and the other elders saw him, they were surprised to see him in that state)
