A story written by ademolar
Episode 18
Immediately others started moving back, all
his guard surround us, everyone was
actually blaming me for saying such word.
But I know everyone in this forest is scared
of ojiji, so ogbon is also part of them. I
know he will surely fall for the trick, even
the boldest creature on earth is scared of
death, that I know for sure..
Ogbon move closer to me, he starred at me
for about three minutes..
Ogbon : who are you? Are you a god or how
do you reason like a god, how did you made
the wisest creature on earth fall without the
help of the creator?..talk.
Me : am not a god, my name is Benjamin
Watson, but what I told you is what am
going to tell ojiji if you refuse to help us.(i
said bodly)
At this point others keep mute as they
watch me battle in the realm of wisdom
with the wisest being on earth..
Ogbon : ok what do you want from me?
Me : show us how to get the egg of life
without the awareness of ojiji.
Ogbon : ok I will show you.. but the only
way you can enter the gate to where egg of
life is, is by solving some riddles by the
spirit of riddles..once the riddles is
answered correctly, then you will have free
access to the egg, you will have to be very
fast cus once you get the egg, you will hold
your breath before you touch the egg till
you get out of the cave, so this is when
your oneness works, when you breath ojiji
will be automatically alerted. . I will have
to go with you but after you entered, I will
take my leave..
Kola : thank you sir..
Ogbon : don’t thank me yet, thank me after
I fulfil my promise..we don’t have much
time, ojiji would be asleep now..lets go..
We all walked out of the building as ogbon
lead the journey, one our way going,
Cynthia keep asking ogbon some set of
funny questions which he answered
correctly. This ogbon wise o.. we walked all
night till finally we got to ojiji’s cave..
Ogbon : here we are..all of you should stay
behind me, and final warning for you all,
when I finally leave you , no one should take
anything apart from what you are here for..
We all echoed okay, then we followed him
as he entered the cave..
Me : why don’t ojiji have soldiers?
Ogbon : ojiji is like me, we don’t trust
anyone aside from ourselves.. that’s why
you see everyone in my castle looks
identical..
Me : ok..but why ain’t there no door here?..
Ogbon : cus there is no need for one..
I was still wondering why there were no
door on the way down to where egg of life
is, when something tall and huge
appeared..oh! This is the monster we saw
one our way down here..

We all step back, and ogbon step forward
and face him.
Ogbon : that’s why there is no need for
door here..
Me : but we met this monster on our way
here
Ogbon : yes, did you wait for him?
Me : no we ran
Ogbon : you guys are lucky, cus if you wait
before he attacks you, he will ask you some
couple of riddles, if you get it correctly, he
will leave you alone, but if you get it wrong
you have your stars to blame..
The spirit of riddle move forward
Spirit of riddle ; to what do I offer the
wisest being alive for his visit..
Ogbon : free entry for my friend
Spirit of riddle : ok, are you ready for the
test?
Ogbon : bring it on
Spirit of riddle : I am something, I don’t
have live, no one see me, no hear from me,
but I am the hope of the poor, the rich and
everything alive, what am i?
Ogbon think for a while and answered
Ogbon : faith
Spirit of riddle : wrong..
He hit ogbon very bad.. Ogbon fell and roll
in pain.
Ogbon : power
Spirit of riddle ; wrong..
He gave him another punch and this time
ogbon was actually bleeding
Me ; stttoop!!! Please give him last chance
… Ogbon please calmdown and think like
human, if you keep thinking like gods you
will fail the question..
Ogbon calm for a while and he thinks deep!
Then finally he answered..
Ogbon : tomorrow..
Spirit of riddle : correct…you have the free
access to pass..
Immediately he vanished out of our way..
Me : ogbon I trust you, I know you can do
it,..
I hugged him, as he smiled..finally the door
is opened, and ogbon says it time for him to
leave..he turned and leave us to decide our
faith on our own..we entered and see the
egg, but right beside it were golds diamonds
and all kinds of beautiful and glittering
chains, bangles and jewelries..
Vincent : mehn! This is great..
Blanny : omo! This one no be here o!
they both try to pick out of the jewelries,
but I quickly cautioned them about what
ogbon said, they turned deaf ears to my say
and started picking the stuffs..
Me : Blanny, Vincent you guys should drop
those stuff before its too late..
Blanny : tarrh.. for where? Do you want my
suffering down to this place to be in vain?
Never
Me : you two should stop na..kola talk to

Kola : ben free dem na..let them enjoy
themselves..
Blanny : don’t you get the message?..i
promised my dad that the next time I will
visit him would probably be with a car, so
this is my chance of making it big..
As they continue picking the jewelries,
suddenly the jewelries in their pockets
began to transform to scorpions..

Those scorpings began to increase, within a
short period of time.. both blanny and
Vincent were consumed to skeleton by the
scorpions..cynthia wants to scream but I
quickly caution her not to try such, cus it
might be very dangerous..
Me ; kola, shey you know it’s your fault?

Kola : oga it’s their choice, that’s what they
wished for so stop blaming me..
Me : listing to yourself, wetin you talk make

We started exchanging strong words as we
were about to exchange punches, cynthia
and sege intervene.. they quickly summon
us about what we were there for..i looked
at kola and hissed, I lead the group to the
egg, on getting to the egg I hold my breath
and lift it, I start moving fast and I
stretched it to sege, he instantly collect it
and walked for 5 minutes, he stretched it to
kola, kola also hold it for another 5 minutes,
and he gave it to cynthia, she also moved
for 5 minutes..
This continued simultaneously till we get to
the exit door, at this time the egg was with
me, we walked out of the cave and head
straight to the forest, as we were moving, I
heard a loud roar…
Me : let’s run faster guyz, ojiji is awake..
Immediately we started running, suddenly it
starts raining..ojiji is chasing after us let’s
keep running. I said at the top of my voice..
Cynthia : ben abeg, I no get strength to run

Kola : ok let me back you..
Kola immediately backed cynthia and we
start running till we get to a river bank, at
first we wants to enter the river, but I told
them not to cus, ojiji might caught us in the
process of doing that..
Sege : ok what’s next now?

two old women appeared, one was standing
in front of the water whilst the other was
standing in her opposite.. who are those

find a profitable answer to that..
The one standing at the bank of the river
