Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 68
#CHRISTEN
War brings nothing but disaster and sorrow, no matter what the reason might be, There’ll always be sadness and loss.
For about an hour, Our own forces kept fighting back Amon and his demons, we did our best pushing them back and dwindling their numbers gradually, and from the way thing were going, Victory was definitely going to be ours.
While everyone was caught up in the moment of war, I was busy focusing my attention on my husband. For a while, I had my sights on him but then suddenly I couldn’t see him anymore. Oliver was in the middle of the field fighting off demons, and I realized his hands were pretty full, so there was no way he could concentrate on Riley.
Rose soon noticed the worried look on my face and reminded me to focus on the war.
.
Rose Worried about your candy stick? Focus jor! This is a war not a social gathering!
.
Christen I know.. I know..
.
Rose. Good, and besides.. Riley will be fine. Just keep slaughtering these demonic pigs and send them back to where they came from.
.
Rose and I kept fighting and defending in continuously without a respite, everyone fought bravely and as time went by, the armies of the demons began to reduce.
Then suddenly while we were in the heat of battle, an explosion went off at the top of the mountain where Amon was. We were all curious to know who went up there cause Whoever the person is, he/she must either be courageous or stupid.
Moments later, We all froze in shock as we felt a powerful evil dark aura, it was so intensifying that even the demons began to cower in fear, they all stopped fighting and knelt down making weird noises.
.
Christen What is going on??
.
Rose Someone very powerful is up on that mountain.. Whoever it is, he/she is insanely strong.
.
Christen Who cares? Let’s end this demons.. This is our chance to wipe them out.
.
Rose Good idea… Oh oh…
.
Christen What?
.
Rose Look up.
.
Christen Oh Mephistoph!
.
As we looked high at the top of the mountain, we saw Demons of all kinds descending from the mountains in droves, they were disorganized but their numbers were too much and the worst part was this demons were a lot more stronger than the ones we fought with earlier.
Immediately they got to the ground, They ate the demons that we were previously fighting ; they ate them up in one swoop and then turned their attention to us and made their move to attack.
Upon realizing the danger that was heading our way, I quickly made a strong hold with several tree roots by using magic, I made it so strong that even an atomic bomb could easily destroy it.
The demons struggled and began burning the roots with their flames trying to get to us but their efforts were futile, so they began to climb the barricade I made, crossing over to our side.
Unfortunately for them, this gave us an opportunity to pick them off one by one, Judith made it easy for us by manipulating time making the demons to move slowly like tortoise . Rose wasted no time in attacking them with her shadow magic by stabbing them with long black spikes, she even threw eradicated them with her ominous forbidden magic which was “Dark matter” which spread through the demons like a plague eating them off randomly.
I too also attacked the demons by crushing the life out of them like tomatoes with the tree roots, I also casted my own magic which was “Nature’s call” upon them, summoning the rodents and snakes with the area, In a matter of seconds, dozens of snakes and rodents gathered around the demons, biting the flesh off their skins.
Although, the demons fought back hard, fatally wounding some of us, Rose too was attacked by a demon, it tried to slash her head off but she dodged in the nick of time but she got a little scar on her cheek.
Sensing the injury on her facial skin, Rose became furious and lashed out her anger on the demon tearing him to pieces with her magic, she then went on and casted a spell the shadows around the area by turning them into death mat ; Any demon that was standing on the shadow was skewed like suya meat by giant spikes that emerged from the shadow.
It was quite a bloodbath and within seconds, All the demons were eradicated but despite that more descended from the mountains heading towards us, There were even some winged demons among those that approached us and their number was t times greater than the ones we defeated.
.
Bimpe Oboi.. I don tire o, my legs are killing me and my body is sticky with sweat! I could use a sauna right about now.
.
Simi Sauna? Are you okay, Bimpe?
.
Esther Will you both keep quiet? We have company.
.
Oliver Here they come.
.
Swooping in like legion of soldiers, The demons charged towards us with fury in their eyes. But before they could land their attacks on us, something rather strange happened.
We all had no clue what just happened but right before our very eyes, the demons were being pulled back right back to the top of the mountain, everything happened as if time had been rewind backwards, Judith was asked if she was responsible for this but she said no and immediately the demons retreated back to the mountain, There was a devastating explosion that turned the mountain into specs of dust ; We were all surprised and shocked about what happened, there was no demon in sight and the mountain itself was gone, leaving a big open space.
As soon as the dust was clear and everywhere was quiet, we spotted two people in the rubble and became alert. At first we thought it might be Amon but as we got closer, reality began to unfold itself.
I was shocked beyond belief when I realized those two people were RILEY and Ebinoluwa, both of them were unconscious and covered in dirt, I was even more surprised how they survived this devastating explosion, but I soon saw my necklace on Ebinoluwa’s neck and sighed with relief.
In that brief moment, I approached the two of them and grabbed Ebinoluwa checking her vitals, there was a little bump on the side of her face which showed she had taken a punch but it wasn’t that serious.
.
Rose Is that Ebinoluwa?
.
Esther How did she get here?
.
Christen AHH.. My little angel. Thank goodness you’re okay.
.
Bimpe Uh Christen..
.
Christen WHAT?
.
Bimpe It’s… RILEY. He’s dead.
.
Christen ….. DEAD!?!
.
Hearing that tragic news made my heart skip a beat, Dizziness got hold of me and my head was struck with a tremendous headache, It was as if the world world crashed down onto me.
I quickly passed Ebinoluwa to Esther and approached Riley’s corpse, as I got near him, I slowly fell on my knees and touched his face; His skin was pale and his body was empty, there was no sign of life in him.
I later saw the big hole in his stomach which resulted to his death but despite that , I still didn’t accept the fact he was dead, I tried to wake him up but he didn’t stir, his body was cold and stiff.
I wanted to say something but the words got stuck in my throat, I was too disturbed to think anything else.
Eventually, I was finally convinced that he was dead for real and the realization made me react in a disorderly way. I moved away from Riley’s corpse and began to walk aimlessly scratching my hair like a mad woman ; My heart beat got faster and I began to hyperventilate, everyone looked at me in pity that they reached out trying to hold me but before they could get hold of me, I screamed out in angrily and then passed out from immense shock.
