81 Obadha (1/2)

Two weeks had gone by since Ochieng' got into the Spiritual Dimension. This also meant a month outside. In these two weeks, Ochieng's way of thinking had broaden. He looked rigorously into the most minute details of the things around him. This was because he viewed things differently after these number of days.

He could smile at a chip of a bird or get scared of a laugh of a hyena. He enjoyed the food he ate more than before and understood things much faster. He felt he was a superhuman at the moment. The five beasts that walked around him were not much different from him. They had grown stronger and more flexible.

Ratong' had become more stronger and at the moment, if it met Jade Eaglewith that mysterious power, it could need just a single thought to destroy that bird. Of course this also meant the speed at which Ochieng' could travel at had increased by leaps and bounds. Ratong' could also expand to be larger than before therefore being able to carry even more things and peopleon its back. Since humans were incapable of flight, this was an added advantage to Ochieng'. Nevertheless, Ochieng' still remained the strongest in this group. After all, his identity was not ordinary.

Also, during this time, Ochieng' became a very good friend of Akinyi Nyalando. They had shared many insights and his knowledge about his roles had improved greatly. He came to havea good understanding of the Saints.

”You have never told me where your homeland was 'Jaber'¹.”

One afternoon, when they were strolling through the trees of the colorful land, Ochieng' asked.

”I was from Kach Division, a division found at the north of Karachuo. I came from Ngili clan, a clan where Obadha Ongoro came from.” The lady answered with a tuneful voice raising up her small head proudly when she talked about Obadha.

”Who is Obadha Ongoro?” The young man asked curiously.

”You do not know Obadha?” The lady turned to him with eyebrows shot up. She could not believe he did not know anything about that legend.

”Mmm.” The young man nodded.

She put her hands together behind her back and once again lifted her small head up and started narrating as her beautiful eyes shone with admiration,

”Obadha was my great great great grandfather. He lived several seasons before the emergence of the first Ordainer. He was best known for his way of spear. He used it to to conquer other tribes as easily as no one had ever done. When he hunted, he was known to be swift like the cheetah and attacked like the leopard. He was popularly known as the walking spear.”

”He had trained his way of spear to a level that no normal human being can. In fact, it cannot be an exaggeration to say that no one has ever reached his level when it comes to that path. He merged with his spear such that when he held it, he was the spear and the spear was him. During his time, no Lang warrior infiltrated our land for fear of getting into his bad side. Of course there were no black fiends, so they never threatened the world.”
