CHAPTER
05.01: THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE [PART 01]
Behold the magnificent sky, blessed with a spectrum of enchanting
and dynamic colors. A field for the feathered creatures of the wind and a part
of the world.
In the afternoon period of the day, a vibrant tribe of dark skin
humans with well-trained bodies, each dressed with long spacious trousers used
to cover their legs and private parts along with a large piece of clothing used
as a wrapper which was worn around the upper part of the body. The people
interacted amongst themselves either buying foods, clothing, farming tools,
some accessories and weapons such as dagger, swords, shields, etc., within the
safe enclosure of their large and sturdy wall as a defensive barrier.
Above the tribe in the sky is a powerful, large, awakened African
harrier hawk with a vibrant black, along with a pale grey and pure white
feather.
The fearsome hawk glide from the sky in a rapid descend
approaching the tribe. The large casting shadow of the bird causes the tribes
men to look up to the sky in wonder and confusion. with the slight movement of
their faces upwards, the tribe’s men see the fast descent of the hawk and they
pose to combat this powerful bird but notice multiple beads on the legs of the
bird and they all collectively ignore the bird and continue with their
activities while the powerful bird continues to descend till a loud whistle
sound is heard.
This sound attracts the attention of the bird and it changes its
direction towards the destination of the whistle sound can be heard. As it glides in
the air, a wide view of the Odeniyi palace can be seen and standing at the
front of that palace is Akinfemi standing along with a few warriors beside.
Akinfemi stretches his right arm in full range to receive the
descending hawk. As the hawk approaches Akinfemi, the size of the bird reduces
continuously till it is the proper size fit for landing on Akinfemi arm. After
landing on his arm, the hawk drops a piece of vellum in the hand of Akinfemi to
which he opens and read.
After reading the message on the vellum. Akinfemi commands the
guards to inform everyone about the arrival of the master of the house and the
tribe.
'' Go tell everyone to gather here to welcome the master of the
house.'' Akinfemi says
'' Yes, Young master. '' the guards respond collectively and then
they leave to fulfill Akinfemi commands.
After their departure Abayomi and a maid walks out from the
corridors to out of the palace to where Akinfemi is standing. Abayomi is seen
walking out of the palace in a pace more sluggish than his usual pace,
nodding his head from side to side enjoying the sounds of the cold hollowing
wind blow as it changes constantly from a gentle breeze to a sudden dash of
intense wind. He walks to his standing brother wearing his infamous smile and
his hands positioned behind his back holding his own hands while the maid follows
behind him walking slowly and gently in a uncomfortable and slightly obvious
way. With a quick glance at Abayomi and his maid, Akinfemi turns back his head
and wears an expression of blank resignation, his face showing a mask of
emotional numbness, as though he accepted and gave up trying to understand nor
care about the inner working of Abayomi mind and actions.

'' It seems the war has ended. '' Abayomi says with his awkward
smile while standing besides Akinfemi and the maid a few feet’s away from them.
'' Yes, it has... '' Akinfemi responds
'' Why the dull look.'' Abayomi asks
'' I am tired of seeing someone indulge in their lustrous desires
while I have to tend to their responsibilities on their behalf. '' Akinfemi
says while looking at Abayomi.
'' I don't know whom you speak of but I know that person is very
grateful and appreciates you for it.'' Abayomi says while smiling and look at
Akinfemi.
'' I think i will be reducing the barrels of palm wine from 40 to
12. it a waste of resources to buy things only one person in the family only
enjoys.'' Akinfemi says with a smile of his own.
Abayomi expression changes as he is now frowning and slightly
annoyed by his statement.
'' This is just pettiness. You know I need it to relieve the stress
I get from using my abilities, the same as you.'' Abayomi speaks
'' You take it every moment you feel like it no matter the
situation. you take it in the morning when you wake up, in the afternoon when
you mess around and night just before you sleep. You are abusing it.'' Akinfemi
speaks
'' will you leave the current amount of supply, if I assist.''
Abayomi says with a dissatisfied scowl, his eyes and brow sloped in angrier,
and his voice showing a hint of irritation.
Akinfemi responds with a smile.
'' It is not called an assist if you are just doing the task you
are meant to do. I'd rather you didn't get involved, but I appreciate your
willingness to finally fulfill your duties.'' He says with a genuine smile
containing a hint of warmth and satisfaction.
Then, the remain members of the family along with the servants
and guards came to stand and wait, standing silently and expectantly, their
stares fixed on Akinfemi and Abayomi as Akinfemi wears a satisfied expression
while Abayomi wears a look of frustration along with a pronounced frown.
Not long after their gathering and waiting, A large army of
warriors carrying weapons bearing an intense aura of fearlessness, and
hostility. As they emerge, their presence and synchronized marching radiated an
air of menace and death.
At the front of this army leading them is a large, strong,
muscular warlord, carrying a intense gaze of unstoppable ferocity and pride. He
is holding two weapons covered with dark aura. Those two special weapons were
made from black, gleaming warrior steel mixed with narrow man gold. He is seen
riding on a large furious predator of the wild, an awaken beast with smooth
thick fur glowing with a bright grey hue along with beautiful dashes of pure
black stripes, it eyes glowed a golden aura like that of an intense flame
within a mighty furnace, its towering figure, exuded an unmatched aura of an
apex predator and the unforgettable might of a king.
As the army got closer, Akinfemi, his family members, the
servants and guards their glares fixed on the powerful warlord riding on the
furious beast then bowed in adoration, their heads bent downwards in reverence
and acceptance, as a sign of respect, loyalty and submission.
