The Saviour EPISODE 9 I sat still on the bed. I was trying to make senses out of my conversation with Stan. ... Will I really die here in Casville? How will I die? What will kill me?... I suddenly remembered the scroll. Yes! The fat scroll. The Sage had said that It contained all the important things I need to know. I sprang up from the bed and walked to where I had dropped the scroll. I picked it up and gently unfolded it. Damn! I couldnt even read a word. It was written in conc. Latin. I must find a translator for this one o. Just then three men, Micus and two guards, walked in. Athanasius, hast thou forgotten thy appointment with our lord, the King? Micus asked. Gosh! I have forgotten, I said Let me change this my soiled shirt. Ill be with you in a second. : Some minutes later, I was ushered into the kings chambers. I had changed my school uniform to a buba and sokoto I found in Stans bag, but I still made sure I put the serpent of the gods around my neck o. That is was Casville had turned me to; tie on top buba. The King was already engaged in a conversation with someone before I got there. When they saw me, they stopped and welcomed me profusely. Athanasius, Hither art Fabianus, the chief priest of our land, the King said, after the exchange of pleasantries. I shook hands with Fabianus and appraised him, he looked incredibly young. How did he even become the chief priest sef? He seems to be in his late teens or early twenties. He looked vaguely familiar too, like I had seen him before, but I dont remember ever hearing the name Fabianus before. Fabianus, thou wilt go now with Athanasius to thy study to discuss the battle plans with him, the King said to the silver haired chief priest. ... Battle bawo? Shey dis King dey madt neh? Abi na Igboh im smoke... Yes Sire, Fabianus replied and then beckoned to me to follow him. I did, admist my confusion and surprise. We got to his study after a few minutes walk. The study was so stuffed full of books that we barely had space to sit. As soon as we got sitted, Fabianus cleared his throat and spoke with an expansive smile on his lips; Van, speak your mind, there are no prying eyes and ears around. My wide open mouth must have given away my surprise, for he grinned and said; Oh! You are surprised that I know your name, hunh? Well, I have the Sages powers too. Im actually his son. I can even speak Yoruba for you. ...Sages son? No wonder... This Casville people too get jazz o... OK. Lets start from here, he started, as he raked his hands through his blonde hair. Do you know why you were chosen to save the people of Casville? Not really, but the Sage told me that its my destiny, I answered. Thats true. Its your destiny, only you can wield the black sword of the gods which will be used to kill Gustavus, the giant, Fabianus explained. ... Yeepa! Giant ke? I be like David for these people eyes?... Watch out for episode 10
