Elder MBA: Ah….. igwe, you don’t have to bother about that, am used to him (After that they concluded their meeting and the elders later left the palace)

Priestess : I don’t know for that, they can make it if they follow my instructions

Elder okeke : But what if they didn’t make it alive, how are we going to get THE RED VULTURE?
