Island of flowers
Tunji
I blow my kapa to draw the attention of
my men; my warriors till eternity. All
heads turned to me with frowny face and
piercing golden brown eyes that can make
the other gender fall on their knees and
beg for their lives but that isn't gonna
Scare me because am a man. We are not
weaklings that run away from fight, we
don't depend on anyone. We are men, we
are warriors.
I bring out a tiny deadly weapon with
poison all over it. No one knew whennI
made over 100 of the weapon named "iku".
Femi: Alaye, what iIs that you are holding
have never seen anything like that?
I laughed before answering. Well, y'all
know am secretive in nature. This is "iku"
and 1, Olatunji, invented this Ior this war.
It is a poisonous object which react mainly
with blood but doesn't have any effect on
the skin.
Bode: (laughing) Are you sure it is going to
work? The last you invented a poisonous
weapon; all of the poison washed away
from it when it rained. Abeg, I can't waste
my time on things that won't be futile.
Shile: shut up bro. You can't talk to the HOI
(head of island) like that!! You no dey look
face. Alaye, I apologise on his behalf but
we need assurance from you that this
thing won't fail us.
I,Olatunji, have tested this on those
weaklings and I can assure you all that it is
going to work and won't fail us. But y'all
have to note that it must not come in
contact with your blood or our men. It is
only for the enemies.
Aye! Aye! Aye! Captain
Now let's get back to work we are leaving
in the night. Our enemies shall hear from
us tonight.
I walk back to my chamber to see a
woman packing my things into my
Kala(bag). I grab my bag from her
aggressively and push her out of my
chamber with a strong kick on her belly
not caring if she is having my 8 month and
3 weeks heir in her.
Have always despise having a woman
around. they are just tiny weaklings,
useless object that are only meant to carry
our heir. I regretted ever listening to my
men about mating with her so she can give
me an heir because that is what gave her
the audacity to step into my chamber and
touch my Kala with her misfortune hands.
I can't wait for her to give me an heir so I
can send her away from this camp for
good.
I pour out all of the item back to my bed
and start to arrange it again. No body must
know out that a woman touched my kala
because it only means badluck in this war.
Iwent out and grab her by hair back to
my chamber. I placed my favorite stool in
front of her and told her never to mention
to any one about what happened. I made
her promise to me and slice my wrist so
she can suck on my blood then tell her that
any time she tried to tell anyone, she will1|
die. Deep inside me, I know it is a lie but I have to scare her since they are gullible.
