ARROGANCE OF DESTINY
EPISODE 17
ODIGHI LAKE, UDO PROVINCE.
C. 1538
Prince Esigie, soon to be Oba Esigie, stood ontop of the hill and looked the bead with white corals, then stare at the lake. “Did you say he drowned himself?”
“Yes, may you live long. A lot of people witnessed it. They said they were swimming when the queen came, so they going to leave, but to their surprise she drown herself and two maid did the same. A moment later the Arhuan call out her name and looked around, then drown himself. They say they also wanted to drown too, since it is a thing for the royals. May Umogun live long,” A soldier that was panting as though this is the hardest thing in the world said.
The Prince face fell and all the soldiers around him saw, and automatically they felt ashame of their pride and the faces fell as well.
His mother, Queen Idia, had gone for divination in Yoruba lands and had brought words that his soldiers would bring back Arhuan’s head. He had just wanted to capture him and put him in a prison for a while.
He was still his brother, at the end of the matter. He had defecated in the bushes with him. He had dug rabbit hole with him. He had eaten from the same plate with him. He had sleep on the floor of their father’s room with him.
Well, he still had the beads to remember him with.
The king put it on.
At once, he knew Arhuan was not dead. He knew he was under that lake. The bead started to increase in weight, he quickly pull it off. All the soldiers drew their swords.
The king started to cry. he fell on floor and started to laugh. He laughed so hard he fell over and started rolling on the ground-- The king of Bini kingdom.
They say they don’t use beads to do ignoble things. The soldiers didn’t know what to do. They all quickly turned around; it was like seeing you god cry. One of the generals, told two of the soldier to go bring the king’s mother.
As they were leaving, they could hear the king saying between laughs: “he is not dead… he won.”
