Delegated to my mother

All the chiefs are in King's living room with two man sitting beside them, the King came out from his room and sat on his chair.

"My King, we have some visitors here" Otun said.

"Yes, they came from another state" Osi said.

"Welcome to my kingdom, I hope no problem?" king asked looking at them.

" No problem at all, the king" First man said.

"We come here to inform you that you should be preparing for war" second man said.

"Which war, we don't have any issue with other Kingdoms"

"That is what we are here for, to inform you" first man said talking to the King.

"Be preparing for war, we are taking our leave now" they stood up, going out.

"Okay we heard you, thank you" Balogun said. Balogun was the person appointed directly by the entire kingdom to be helping them in the war and as the great Warrior of their land. Anybody in Yoruba land in Nigeria given the name Balogun is a great Warrior and it was like inheritance too just like king.

"I don't get it, what is going on?" Iyaloda said.

"We don't have time, Balogun take your guys and prepare for the war" Otun said.

"Yes, we have to act fast" Osi said.

"Go and call me Akinwuji" The king said talking to one of his guards, standing at his back.

"As you said my King" he left.

"We don't need Akinwuji again, Balogun is already here" Otun said.

"Akinwuji is a powerful man, he can do"

"Balogun is a powerful man also" Osi said.

"Akinwuji can do it better and is him that I want" said with lower voice.

"If you said so, no problem" Otun said looked at each others and faced the king.

It took the guard some minutes to get to Akinwuji's house met his wife outside sat on the chair resting put her leg on a wood.

"Good afternoon, my lady" he greeted.

"Good afternoon" she replied and stood up.

"The King want to see Akinwuji at the palace at now" "I hope no problem?" She asked.

"No problem at all, my Lady" he answered.

"Okay am coming, some minute" she went inside to call him and came out after some minutes, door opened and closed, she was standing at the door looking at them.

"You told my wife that the King want to see me" "Yes, he want to see you in the palace right now"

"Okay you can go, am coming"

"He said that you should come with me" Akinwuji looked at him. "Okay let go" he said.

Akinwuji entered with the guard standing at the front of the King and the guard went back to his position.

"My King, i greet you" he said.

"Welcome Akinwuji, you can have your seat"

"You sent your guard to me, I hope no problem?"

"There is problem" he said with louder voice.

"What happened my King" he sat down.

"People of Akure said that they are bring war to our kingdom"

"We don't have any issue with them, so what happened?"

"They sent two men to inform us, they just left like an hour ago"

"What do you want me to do now?" He asked.

"I want you to take your armies to the border, so that anytime that the war is coming you be able to attack it there" he said looking at him.

"Okay my king, as you said"

"If you need anything send someone to me, I will provide it and get you some food"

"We don't need anything for now"

"Okay, go and get ready we don't have time"

"Okay my King, live long" he stood up and left.

Under a big tree, all the chiefs are there except Iyalode, sat down on a long chair looking unhappy and complained bitterly about the King.

"The King like Akinwuji" Otun said.

"Yes, he like him more than anyone here" Osi said with anger showed all over him.

"Any small thing to discuss with his chiefs, go and call me Akinwuji all the time" Otun said too said with louder voice.

"We need to do something, we can be looking like this and allow him to take over our positions, am Balogun of this land, I have not go to war only that Akinwuji, Akinwuji every day" he said with anger.

"What do we want to do now?" Osi asked.

"We will make sure that this war that his going, he will not come back" Balogun said with low voice.

"Akinwuji is a powerful man and wise, you think that will work out" Otun said.

"He is powerful man and I know that, but there will be someone who will know where his power is and how to get him"

"Balogun is right, let take step on that" Osi said, looking at others.

"We don't have time, let work fast" Otun said.

"All the thing that we want to do, we must do it before he go to war" Balogun said.

"Okay, what is it?" Otun asked, looked at each others and Balogun talked secretly to them, all of them left the tree and went to their house.

Akinwuji had dressed for the war and he had sent half of his armies to the border; him too with the other armies had ready to leave the kingdom want to go and meet others.

" My wife, we about to go" he said.

"Okay my husband, God will follow you"

"Amen!!! Take care my wife"

"Bye my husband"

"Bye, where is you guys" Akinwuji shouted.

"Baba, we are here" they spoken in their language called Yoruba language.

"Have you see the King?" Akinwuji asked.

"Yes Baba, some hours ago"

"Okay, let pray before we take a step" he said.

"None of us will dead in the war"

"Amen!! Amen!!! Amen!"

" God we follows us, he will not leave us"

"Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!"

" let go" he shouted running around the house.

"As you said, Baba" they shouted as well.

On their way going to the border, they just got to the forest when they saw one creature coming and blocked their way.

"Who are you?" Akinwuji asked.

"Am Onimi, from other creatures" he replied.

"What are you doing here?" He asked .

"To help you and your armies" he answered.

"What help is that?" Akinwuji asked.

"Your people do not want you come back"

"Who?" He asked looking at him.

"All the chiefs except Iyalode"

"They don't want me to come back?"

"Yes, they don't want you to come back"

"Please, what can I do?" Looking at him.

"Anybody that you see on the way, obey them, greet them very well and anything that they ask for do it"

"Okay, I heard you"

"Anything you see on the way either food or water don't take it and your guys too"

"Okay, thank you very much"

"You are welcome" he left, they were looking at him going for some minutes and went to the border to meet others.
