Two Worlds

"I've always said it that the heart of man is wicked and they have indeed finally proven me right! The men who think I can do nothing have taken the most precious thing from me and have left me with a half-human replacement!

Haaa Enitan! Your curses shall come to pass, but I shall deal with these offenders my own way, I shall make living corpses out of them! They shall rue the days they were born! They shall suffer like no man has ever suffered before! For hurting me this way and taking your life, I shall hurt them back a hundred folds!

I shall strike them in many ways that no other Orisas can rescue them from! They shall beg for death and their pleas will go unanswered! They shall gnash their teeth in agony after I've inflicted them and they shall serve as a deterrent to mankind for as long as this earth remains! They will be scorned!"

"Iya, please be comforted." The two maidens said in trembling voices, heads bowed in trepidation.

"No, I shall not be comforted! I shall not be comforted!" Osun vehemently refused then suddenly roared in a loud voice and the riverbed vibrated "Daughters!!!" Immediately, mermaids in their numbers began to shoot out of the water in all angles, and diving into it again, surrounding Osun.

By the time they all settled, there were almost a thousand mermaids on the surface of the water. "Now, go!" Osun pointed a finger at the village. "Go and wreak enough havoc that they'll never forget in a lifetime! Take from them all their firstborns and bring before me the four men that have done this to your princess!

Seek vengeance and let blood fill the waters! GOOO!!!" Osun roared in fury and the mermaids slowly turned towards the village, and all at once, they submerged underwater and like torpedoes- their shoulders squared with arms flattened at their sides, they began to swim towards the village in great speed but Labake and Adunni remained with Osun.

Osun rose her hands to the sky now, her eyes going white again as she conjured up a storm. Dark clouds began to gather rapidly, rolling and tumbling in the sky as they formed like a whirlwind. Soon, lightning began to flash as the dark clouds grew larger and loomed over the river, spreading towards the village and blotting out the full moon.

Lightning flashed and thunder clapped loudly, followed by a strong wind which made the branches of the trees tremble and sent animals scurrying into hiding. A cold rain began to pour hard like never before, and as if that was not enough, Osun controlled a great deal of water from the river and sent it with full force after the mermaids towards the village.

With tears in her eyes again, she took her granddaughter from Labake and endearingly stared down at her. "The world has denied you of the love and presence of a wonderful mother, but I promise you that I'll be to you the best mother a demi-goddess can ever ask for.
