First Omen

In Ifa-ile the people stepped into the street to behold the flocking of birds which now covered the clouds above them. For this had been what they had not seen before. And this reality above them was just like an illusion, and if this was indeed a real occurrence they continued to ask one another. 

To their surprise and confusion, they wore their fears and they wondered if they had done something wrong to Eledumare and he decided to punish them for their sins they did not know. 

Only for this reason had everyone who beheld this day fell on their faces and in the name of Eledumare, the supreme God of all gods, they cried and begged that this pass over them. 

Even if they pleaded, this had not changed any fact as the host of the birds continued to fly more below the sky until each one of the people of Ifa-ile dare not look toward the sky but cover their faces with their hand and shall have to dogbe their heads if they want not the birds eat away their eyes.
