A Witch's Rage (3)

“What?” Nti Anem asked.

“You said I was given a gift, right? What if it is to create life?” Ed asked.

“It would definitely not be it.” Nti Anem said.

“You are quite sure.” Ed raised a brow.

“The creator is called the creator for a reason. Life is a gift only she can give.”

“Then, the one who gave me such a gift that you spoken of; is definitely not she.”

“Yes.”

“I see..” Ed nodded, “I will still try.”

“It is taboo!” Nti Anem seemed slightly agitated.

“You are quite dedicated, aren’t you?” Ed asked.

“You test me?”

“No. I wish to put back the life that leaves his body when you take out the eternal fire. But it is also good to understand you more. You are loyal. Time has not dented your loyalty and I wonder why. What you are loyal to on the other hand...” he said and Nti Anem sighed. He seemed to calm down with that released breath and stared back at Ed.
