CHAPTER
02: THE LESSON
The boy continues to watch them with curiosity. His expression lit
up with adoration and excitement as he questions himself.
will they continue fighting? '''' I hope so.''''
The two combatants could be seen standing side by side talking
and smiling.
'''' let’s have another showdown.'''' the strong combatant says with
a serious face
'''' Another time when we have no reason to restrain ourselves.''''
the swift combatants responds with a nonchalant expression.
The strong combatant looked confused before his facial expression
changes to that of rage.
'''' Damilare is here.? '''' he says with rage.
The strong combatant squats before leaping into the air just
above the trees. He quickly glances through the surrounding ground and trees
below him. With a few movements of his head, the combatant sees the boy now
running away.
As the combatant descends with the equal amount of speed and power,
he used to launch himself into the air. He grabs a thick and strong branch of a
large tree and swings off it to another tree. The force, agility and fast
reaction he used to leap and swing of the trees surpass the skill level of an
awakened 78-year-old African Chimpanzee, his grip strength was at levels above
the mighty grip of a greedy Monarch.
The boy notices both of the combatants as they got closer, approaching him with believable speed. The boy noticing that furious face of the
strong combatant swinging from tree to tree like a furious monkey while the
swift combatant is nowhere in sight. The boy musters all his strengths and
dashes with his full might to escape from their pursuit even though it was a
futile attempt with no possibilities of success.
Within a few minutes and seconds of the chase, the combatants caught the boy
and pinned him into a tree, while the other combatant reappears like a nasty
ghost.
The strong combatant calls out to the boy''s name while the boy
struggles to no avail to free himself.
'''' Damilare, why have you once again disregarded my warning.?? ''''
Damilare responds while looking at both combatants face.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
'''' I just wanted to watch. Please release me brother. ''''
The strong combatant then proceeds to release Damilare, and check
for any external injuries before asking
'''' Are you okay.? ''''
Damilare responds with an excited and happy facial expression.
'''' Yes! your fight was amazing. ''''
The strong combatant smiles back but then without warning he
swings his fist with a great force while targeting Damilare Abdomen but thanks
to the swift combatant swift thinking and swift approach at managing to pull
Damilare backwards just in time to prevent him from receiving the Full force
and impact of the punch.
Although Damilare didn''t receive the full attack. He received
serious injuries such as damaged organs, ruptured veins and arteries, and thorn
skin which all lead to internal, external bleeding and severe struggle in
breathing.
The swift combatant speaks with an angry expression.
'''' Akinfemi! WHY! ''''
The swift combatant screams while holding Damilare in his arms
measuring the extent of his injuries.
Akinfemi responds with a cold glaring expression and uncaring
voice as he stares down upon his two brothers on the ground. one suffering in
agony and the other tending to his injuries.
'''' Abayomi, He needs to learn. Damilare let this be a lesson to
you. DO NOT REPEAT THIS AGAIN. ''''
Akinfemi says this with a calm but sterile tone, before turning
away leaving both of them there.
Abayomi rises up while carrying Damilare on his back and
walks away from the forest towards their living quarters. after a few minutes
of walking Abayomi enters Damilare personal chamber and proceeds to drop him on
his bed but as he does, a young lady dashes into the chamber and checks on
Damilare with a worried and sad facial expression. She then rises up, hurriedly
leaves the chamber and reenters with an attendant.
The attendant brings a brown colored cloth with various leaves
and plants to which she mixed, and grounded into a greenish hue paste. she then
proceeds to rub this paste on the external wound of Damilare body such as his
thorn skin and bruises. Afterwards she stretches her hands forward laying it
on his abdomen where is injuries are and closes her eyes.
She then enters a state of concentration and remains as a still
as a statue. From her hands a greenish, mist forms and glows with a dull green
hue while she breaths in a controlled and measured manner called a breathing
technique.
the external wounds heal as the green mist and the paste fuses with the new skin of the boy and after sometime she breathes out heavily
like a sigh of relief. She then checks to see if he is breathing properly and
with ease before proceeding to feed Damilare a brown herb concoction in a small
calabash.
The attendant then rises up and bows with a nod before exiting
the chamber. After seeing that Damilare is fine and recovering the young lady
turns to Abayomi which she was ignoring when she was worried about Damilare well-being
and asks a question with a worried and displeased face while looking at him.
'''' I would like to know why my dear brother is this sad state.''''
but Abayomi turns away with a blank expression and responds
'''' He is suffering for his wrongdoings.''''
'''' Wrongdoings.?'''' She mutters with confusion.
'''' What wrong has he committed to be in this state.? '''' she
responds
Abayomi walks away responding
'''' Speak with the oldest to understand.''''
she then proceeds to leave afterwards.
