13 The Bird (1/2)
Ochieng' and Mudho wanted to disregard the bird in the first place but they appeared to be hypnotized by it the moment they set their eyes on it. They found themselves pasted where they were, looking at it in delight.
Laaaa! Laaaa!
The bird started singing. Its voice was charmingly sweet, putting its listeners in a trance. Ochieng' and the lion found themselves in an illusional world. In the phantasyworld, they saw different things. Mudho found itself walking in a land filled with beautiful flowers. The scent from them gave it a pleasant feeling. The sky was covered with red clouds and the air around it was extremely warm.
It lay on the flowers and started rolling in delectation. It's blood circulation became rampant as his breathing became tranquil. It felt its strength booming. It had never felt this way before. In the real world, surprisingly enough, the changes in its body were really happening. It was rolling on the plants in the forest, knocking rocks here and there leaving it's body aching though it was oblivious about all that. It was walking on air due to the gains it was obtaining.
Ochieng' on the other hand found himself in a desert full of sirocco. The sky in this world wasdark due to the dark clouds with frequent lightning. His ambiance was extremely cold making him quiver vehemently. He wanted to run away from this place but when he turned, he realized the desert covered a very large area. He fell on his knees and waited for what was to come.
He was all of a sudden covered with the raging sandstorm. His eyes squinted before they were entirely shut. His breathing became bottled up. His muscles hardenedand his skin was being bitten by the winds. He covered his mouth and nose to avoid absorption of the sand. As his his muscles hardened, he felt his strength kicked upstairs. When he discovered this, even though he was feeling extreme pain, he gritted his teeth tightly in determination, determination to gain more strength.
Laaaa! Laaaa!
The bird continued singing outside, releasing zephyr that gave different effects to the two fellows. To Ochieng' it was like a duster that bit every cell of his skin, to the lion it was warm air that gave a pleasant feeling. The strength of the two kept increasing. After around two hours, the bird stopped singing. The two fellows fell on the ground panting and breathing heavily.
Yeeee! Yeeee!
The bird heaved and started singing again. It's song took Mudho into a deep sleep whileOchieng' into another world. In the illusive world, He saw the storm tranquilized and colourful plants started burgeoning forth. The atmosphere became cool and the pain he was feeling a minute ago was entirely dispelled. He sat cross legged on the ground and closed his eyes to savour the current moment.
”Ochieng. ” He had just sat when he heard a gentle voice calling from behind.
He turned his head only to see an exquisitely gorgeous young lady, around his age standing not far from him. She looked so beautiful that one could think she was an ethereal maid from heaven. When their eyes met, she gave a charming smile revealing her snow-white teeth and a small gap between her upper jaw teeth. Her lips were small and soft, one couldn't resist the urge to kiss them. Her slightly big eyes glittered and her small nose fitted perfectly on her delicate face. She had a small waist and wide hips. She made an eight figure.
Ochieng' unconsciously widened his eyes and mouth in awe. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. He was lost in his world when the gentle voice called his name again.
”How did you know me?” He asked taken aback.
Instead of answering, she softly walked to his side and stretched her arms to help him up. She then looked into his eyes becharming him. He felt like embracing the young woman tightly but was too afraid to do so. Since he became an adult, he had never seen a girl let alone talk to one. Even so, this beautiful one made him crave for her. In the end, he just looked at her and gave a smile. She smiled back and retrieved her soft hand from his grasp.
