Chapter 263

"Who are you?", I look at him, "what are you doing with me?".

"Do you really want to know me? ", he takes a seat opposite me, "Am Iktodi the god of mischief", 

I gasp, " Iktodi? what are you doing here? ", this time I tugged on the ropes till I was close to losing consciousness.

" You need to stop with this rubbish, you will only end up hurting yourself", he gives me a look before straightening me.

Iktodi?

Iktodi is the god of mischief said to be banished to Okumu when he caused a feud between the gods.

"Like I was saying before you stupidly tried to kill yourself before I can finish my tale. Am the god Iktodi, and I have risen for vengencence on those who imprisoned me", he stands, "I was in OKUMU for more than two hundred complete moon circles before I heard from Ajummuo that the choosen one have been detected; he was the one that gave me clues on how to find you.

It was through him that I learnt I can return to paradise of I consume two third of your powers.

On that night Ajummuo was released, I was also released with him, but I couldn't do anything because only my smoky mist was released and not my entire body".

" You're were the mist that kept swirling on that book?", I gasped im surprise, " I released you?".

He nods, " I was just released on that night, and I had to find a host willing to take me in, and the host have to be human because humans can't detect the presence of another body on them, but the other species can easily do so.

Not only do I need to enter a human, I also need to enter the body of those closer to you, that way your mates won't know why hit them.

Someone closer to you won't be a suspect, and someone with a loose open spirit.

I first entered the body of a human girl, but her always talking nature made me too uncomfortable I left. She was the only one of loose spirit among those closer to you. 

It was on one of my swirling days that I chanced upon Kwofo.

His spirit have been strong and closed off until that day; turns out he was having a difficult time coming to terms with the fact you like the wolf and vampire more than you like him.

Seeing how open and bitter he was made it quite easy for me to slip into his life and take charge before he can get a good grip on himself".

That proves my observations of Kwofo, his heightened intelligence and always serious demeanor.

"How did you manage to separate yourself from him and still retain his body?".

I need to keep him talking; it will safe ample time for me.

" I was only able to do this recently. He was becoming more stronger for mw to fight off, and I had to separate us before he can manage to purge me out of his system".
