Episode 15

Uganda!! What’s happening! It seems the shrine is in trouble!!” A gruffed voice said,grom the middle of people wearing white and red. Men and women.

Uganda the chief priest ran around the people, chanting his incantations.

He struck his stick full of cowries in the bushy ground and looked angrily at the dark sky.

‘That man!! That man in the hole who has come to preach false God to our people is up to something!

We must go back to the palace before this sacrifice. Now!!” Uganda said as they all lined up marching away, straight to the shrine.

The fire was coming closer and closer as Joanna stared in horror.

No! She would not stand and watch this fire roasted and kill her here!

Wait
.her tears
.only if she could cry
her tears would send down rain and quench the fire.

Closing her eyes, Joanna allowed emotions take over her body.

Her eyes filled with tears, heavy tears as she blinked.

Uncontrollable tears ran down her cheeks and a heavy rain poured down right inside the shrine.

Immediately,the fire began quenching off.

Even though she was in tears, Joanna was smiling
 smiling happily as the fire died down.
“Help me
help me!!” Joanna could hear the voice again and she ran around, trying to locate the direction of the voice but no!
It seemed to be coming from every direction.
Joanna stood at a soot, afraid to use her powers. Would she be able to control it this time?

There was no time to get confused of ask questions.

She entered into the hole and yank off the rope from the man’s hand and feet and they both came out together.
“I know the way out! Follow me!” The man shouted.

“Hurry up!” Joanna said and they raced out of the dark corner.

They froze as they came out, standing face to face with Uganga and the people with him.
Uganda looked dangerous and murderous as he looked at them.

“You! Who are you and what are you doing in my shrine!

You foreign traitor..wbo has sent you here! How dare you try to rescue a traitor!”
Uganga roared and Joanna held tightly to the man’s hand.

“Tommorow..you shall face judgement!! Obudu!! Seize her!!”

No..no!! Joanna shouted in her head but she saw herself doing nothing to stop them but instead she was surrendering herself..to them..

The next morning, Joanna could see clearly where she was.

A village.

She was taken out from where she was being kept last night and taken to the king’s palace with the offence of trying to rescue a traitor.
