chapter 15

My name is Tsushima the goddess of love and fertility, it's been my duty to ensure that every deserving woman is blessed with a child and their lives filled with unending love.

I wondered if this is another of her numerous stories but I chose to keep quiet and listen.

I blessed all mankind with children of different destiny even I have my own destiny which I can never change.

"And what was your destiny?" I asked ma Mia curiously.

" To die after a decade and return to my clan to continue my rule. "

That's heart breaking I stated.

" That was my fate and I had no say in it, I was given birth to in so many families but once I turned ten no one touches my hair cus once am touched on the hair I will sleep but never wake up.

"Do you know why?" She asked a curious me as i quickly shook my head indicating that I don't.

My father is the god of pain and death so I had the mark of dieing as human every decade despite having the power to give love and children,I had no power over death and pain.

I was never happy about that but no god nor goddess dares to defile the rules of the immortal. When it got to my turn to become a bundle of joy to safari's family I begged for another home knowing that the family am to visit has long prayed for fertility over three decades but it wasn't their time so I waited until it's their time only to realize that I am their bundle of joy.

Reluctantly I visited and was born but this time determined not to die until after eight decade at least.

Immediately after I was born I developed the habit of falling sick once my hair is combed or even touched.

Many nights I've watched her cry beside my cradle begging death to take her life and leave mine, I will cry through out the night with her not because I was a baby but because I can't break a heart as pure and blameless as her's.

Numerous times people called me coursed because I've refused to allow my hair to be shelved nor combed and it made me look made. Mother safari was the only one who called me a blessing. So I decided not to die until after eight decades.

I turned ten with an over grown dreadlock and no body ever touched my hair since am always indoor and mother safari already warned the whole community about approaching me let alone turching my hair.

Many nights father sent people to come escort me home but my hair was locked and there was no road into my Destiny.

Gradually I turned eleven breaking the rules guilding my destiny and as a result mother safari's life was taken and the dynasty of gods and goddesses were summoned to seek solution, I attended as the goddess of love and fertility but was sent out of the kingdom along side those who takes orders from me.

In that way my clan was formed and we moved into the world to give love and fertility to mankind no longer following the rules of immortality.
