"Our mother, Làhò." Her mother greeted Mama Ikpe. Mama Ikpe was one of the oldest women in Udo; all she did now was to sit outside and helped to distribute gossips.

"Child of the lions; the greatest tree in the forest. A child born very well. How are you and the family?"

"Ah Mama we are fine ooo. What to do na? The Oba in Bini, Okpame, is with his ancestors to begin the circle of life again. They say the white men are going to give their condolences to Prince Osawe and not our Duke Arhuan. Eh... I want to go and uproot cassava and stock my house with food; there is war coming. Don't say you heard it in my mouth." Osasu was tired of standing.

"I am tired oo my child; until they get all the sacrifice they need for the burial rites and the burial proper, they will not cause confusion yet."

"That one shouldn't be hard; those outlanders they caught last two moons that raped and killed two girl are still in prison." When her mother starts to tie and untie her wrapper like that Osasu just knows it has begun.

"If you like carry your sore from here to the lands of the white people, it is still in your leg they will dress it. Leave that side alone. Let me not delay you, my daughter, go and come."

Mother laughed and clapped her hands. "Alright mama, don't spoil your mouth. It will be later." Osasu could not thank God enough.
