OLANMA: RESCUE HALTED

Olanma took the warriors to a corner and narrated what had happened. It turned out that she was taken to heal Zuntu, the Prince of Obanga.

Zuntu has been struck with a strange ailment and Otuma the priestess had heard from the gods. They had said the only solution to the ailment lied in Ekimze, with Princess Olanma. She could hear the spirits and they can tell her what could be done to save him. Since all people feared the inhabitants of Obanga, they had just one option and that was to adopt Olanma. A dialogue was not a valid option as the Prince had only three days to live.

The warriors were convinced that their princess was not under a spell. One of them had blown a powdery substance Ikuku gave them to counter any spell cast upon any one. They returned to meet the King of Obanga.

"My brave warriors, I and my people are deeply sorry for taking your princess. We cannot be right on this matter but I believe you understand the circumstance. Please return to Ekimze and tell your king what you have seen and heard. The people of Obanga are forever grateful to you and your king" said Zuntu.
