88 Meeting The God (2/2)
Looking at the room, Ochieng's jaws dropped for it was the first time he was seeing a room so beautiful, furniture so unique and a room so specious. It took him a whole minute to just look around.
Turning his head on the old man, he was even petrified. When he heard that the serpent's master was a god worshipped by the Mbeu people, he had expected to meet a spirit or anything different from a certain old man. But an old man that was extremely thin looking like he had no bone, how was he even worshipped?
”Why do you bring this man here snake?”
With a rough yet authoritative voice, the old man asked without opening his eyes that had been closed for all this time.
”He said he has something to tell you master...”
”How many times do you want me to tell you not to disturb my peace?” The old man cut the beast short angrily.
”I am sorry master for my incompetence. Let me send him away...”
”You have already brought him, let him speak but let it be worth my time.”
Even before Ochieng' opened his mouth, a certain tail had already hit his back twice accompanied by an impatient shout, ”Talk!”
”Master, my name is Ochieng' from Karachuo Division in Lu tribe. I found myself here because I am an Ordainer...”
Ochieng' couldn't finish because at some point in time, the serpent had shrunk with eyes widened and tongue left out carelessly. The old man's eyes had opened and the cup he was drinking from had long dropped. The room had even mysteriously become so silent that the trembling of the serpent could be heard.
”Did you say you are an Ordainer?”
It took the old man a while before calming down. At this moment, his voice was soft and respectful.
”Yes master.” The young man answered respectful.
Thump!
The old man fell to his knees. Looking at Ochieng' tearfully he said,
”I have lived for years waiting for this time to come. A few weeks ago I heard that those creatures from another world had infiltrated our land and sooner than later our land would be destroyed. I know I was blessed by the One from above but compared to you, my skills are below average, please welcome to my home.”
He helped Ochieng' to one of the chairs before apologizing on his behalf and his servant's.
”What are you still waiting for, you go bring my guest some food.” He ordered.
