INTRODUCTION
A new generation of Ayenireti
A new and better revolution
If only we knew it will still bring our downfall
Again
Who would have the gut to emerge
But no guts no glory
Our fate lies in our hands
Our destiny how we wish to fulfil it
Our goal does not define us
We define our goal
What Ayenireti stands for
Lies deep in the heart of itself.
CHAPTER ONE
A BEAST EGG
Remi, now fully grown and muscular, he didn’t look younger or older for a twenty year old kid,  as each day went by, he grew stronger with his powers which seemed to be limitless, the last defender of Ayenireti, a true breed of a god, a true soul, at least that is what the gods had described him as.
He held his spare tight in his right hand and slowly walked into the dark cave, which looked endless,  his eyes turned with, which enabled him to see clearly in the dark, he  knelt down and placed his hand into a giant footstep that didn’t seem to look like that of a human, at least from description it was what he thought to be a giant lizard.
He continued into the cave, the only sound that came from  it was the dripping sound of water, that dropped every few seconds simultaneously. He halted seeing two huge eggs that were few meters away from  him, he could feel life form in it, the more he moved closer the more he felt a stronger connection to the egg that stood  about four feet in height. He paused at the echoing sound that came from the inner part of the cave like something was in real pain.
He knew whatever had these eggs was what made the horrible screeching sound. Remi walked further, passing beside the eggs which moved a little as he passed beside them. Remi slowly walked into the inner part, crawling he peeped from the corner where he was to see what made the noise.
He opened his mouth wide in surprise, right before him, what he saw, was a giant lizard, which he was sure could run the whole of a city even one bigger than Ayenireti down, with great wings the lizard possessed and a long scaly tail, with horns on its head, Remi watched  as the creature screeched in pains and breathed fire from its mouth. Remi stood up and slowly walked towards the beast.
“hey” he said and lowered his spare by the tail of the beast, which quickly turned at him and gave him a threatened  screech, Remi flashed his white eyes thrice and still slowly walked towards the beast.
“Seems you are in pain?” Remi said raising his head up, this creature still stood about 20 feet taller than him.
To his surprise the beast gently lowered its head on the floor and carefully Remi placed  his hands on it, lightly taking it by the horn and slowly the beast drew its last breath and gently closed its eyes.
Remi studied it and knew it had gave up the ghost.
“Poor thing” He said “How come you have lived here and no one knows about you? Remi asked not expecting an answer
He ran back to where the eggs laid and carefully he placed his hands on them both, he smiled as he felt the life form flowing through him into the eggs and gasp before moving away.
“Know, lets find a way of moving you out”

Emi stood up from the throne after a brief meeting with the village newly appointed elders, and headed straight to his own home, he was now human, since about 13 years ago, the gods had collected what belong to them, so they could also sustain their own existence.
Emi arrived home seeing Ajanaku and Ogunjimi entertaining themselves with the local “ayo opon”. Emi felt happy, knowing they had a long year 13 years of peace.
“Ahh, am tired” Emi complained and sat next to Ajanaku.
“Now you know what it means to be human” Ajanaku said and they all laughed at the joke
“Well on Eri and his father, still has their power, apart from the true blood” Ogunjimi said, and played his turn.
While they were busy making fun of themselves, Remi opened the wooden gate that led to the compound and rolled a cart inside, and continued till he got to where the elders were.
“Mo ri nkan (I saw something)’ Remi said with wild excitement on his face .
Without waiting for them to reply, he ran to the back of the cart and removed the clothe he used in covering the eggs. Everyone stood up in surprise at the egg, and at how huge it was.
“Where  did you get that from?” Emi asked and took a step closer.
“I saw this inside a cave and a very huge lizard with wings” Remi said excitedly “I can feel life form in these eggs, and I cant wait for them to hatch, so I can see what surprise awaits me”
“Did you say a huge lizard with wings?” Eri asked and walked out of the hut alongside Ireti
“Yes, baba, with stong scaly tail and a horn on the head” Remi replied
Eri stood motionless, the look on his face could tell he knew something about it.
“Is there something you are hiding from us?” Ajanaku asked.
Eri looked from one eyes to another and finally spoke
“I have been having this dream of a flying lizard, which spites fire from its mouth, but I thought it was just a mere dream” Eri said
“Eledumare” Remi shouted and elevated into the air “They can fly” He said again and moved the cart towards the empty hurt in the compound.
“Did you see anything else?” Ireti asked placing her hands on his shoulder.
“Like a war is coming, and Remi was the only one I saw defending, was like, we never existed” Eri said quietly.
“Hmmmm, the great war is near, this egg, is a sign, remember we have heard different sayings, seen signs and dreams and heard even from gods, that we wont witness this war” Emi said gently
“Remi does not know what lies ahead” Ajanaku said and had his  seat beside the game, he and Ogunjimi had used to entertain themselves.

IRETI placed a colorful attire on Emi trying to see how it fits on his body. She squinted her eyes and shook her head in disapproval.
"The white Ankara fits you better, with a notch of red on it, wait let me get it" IRETI said and walked towards the bed
"Your mother never bothered me with attires to wear" Emi said, patiently waiting for IRETI to do as she wish.
"You are meeting top leaders, emperors from over the world, head of states, I don't want my father to look less" She said and pulled out the cloth from among the pile of other clothes.
"A party I don't want to attend "
"Well, the way you fought against slavery has put you top of the list of special guest, ignoring it will be a sign that you still have hatred for the whites, which you dont" IRETI said and placed the cloth on him.
"Well, the greater war is still coming"
"The greater war, has nothing to do with the whites, they know nothing about it" IRETI replied and smiled at Emi. "Know this is top notch "

Remi ran among the crowded market, struggling to make way for him. He ran towards a shop.
"Mama, good evening Ma" Remi greet and prostrated to the middle aged woman, probably in her late forties.
"Remi" the woman said and signalled him to befriend while she attended to the customer before her.
"three baskets of mango, for just thirty piece of silver, by the time I cut out everything I have no gain" She tried to reason with the customer before after much haggling she sold to the customer and directed attention to Remi.
"Remi, the one that confront the beast of the gods, he who drinks and dine with the gods.. "
Remi felt embarrassed and tried to change the topic.
"Mama, the way you praise me ehn"
"It's necessary, my son, you gave us freedom"
"Is Ewatomi around? " Remi asked bowing his head.
"I asked her to fill the calabash at home, she is at the stream"
----
---
Remi got to stream, from afar, he could hear sound of cheers like two people were involved in a fight, as he got closer, he saw Ewatomi roughly pulled to the ground by another girl and another smashed her calabash to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Ewatomi was helpless, crying uncontrollably as the other girl pounded her with her fist.
"You have the guts to go after him, I don't know what he sees in you"
Remi dashed towards the group and immediately they all disbanded, moving to safe distance, leaving Ewatomi and her opponent.
"Ifewumi " Remi said and angrily pulled her away from Ewatomi. And helped her up.
Ewatomi released herself from Remi's grip and weakly walked towards the river to clean herself and return home to get another calabash.
Remi stood speechless and looked at Ifewumi with a questioning look.
"You know, I am more beautiful than she is, how come you are attracted to someone as her, someone from a poor family, she wants to attach herself with a god, see am the one for you" She said and tried to cuddle herself on him.
Remi eyes turned red, and immediately Ifewumi halted and bite her lips, with a cliched fist. Remi walked towards Ewatomi and aided her in cleaning up.
"Am sorry, I had to put you in such a situation "
"Just let me be and go and met the love of your life whatever" She said and shuddered.
"I found an egg, about ten times bigger than an ostrich egg" He said trying to impress her.
"Whatever "
"And I saw a huge lizard that could fly and spit fire" Remi said again.
"Good"
Remi out of option, quickly planted a soft kiss on Ewatomi's left cheek, and she responded with a blush, trying to his her smile.
"Come, let's go see it" Remi said and aided her up.
Ifewumi boiled in rage, seeing all what transpired, she felt disgraced, and humiliated among the crowd and angrily walked towards them.
"If you step another inch closer" Remi said, with thunder Bolt cracking from his hands. He held Ewatomi by the waist and flew into the air, in an instance. .

Emi alighted his carriage alongside Ajanaku and walked towards the party reception. Filled with me of different Language, tradition and mostly whites, after greeting everyone warmly, he sat on the seat that was accustomed to him while Ajanaku stood by him.
"Be vigilant" Emi said to Ajanaku
"You still don't trust them " Ajanaku replied and grabbed a cup from the bartender that moved around with drinks in a tray.
"Hmm, we know it's our kind that will betray us, not them"
"Am only securing Remi's future, the boy is still young"
"You can't change the future " Ajanaku said and sipped his drink.
everyone attention shifted to the person that repeatedly banged his spoon on the metal cup, followed by total silence.
"I welcome everyone once again, I am honoured, and happy we all agree to peace making among us. To peace" he said and raised his cup.
"To peace" everyone chorused and raised their cups.
"Also I will like to show some important people that fought for freedom of their kind, it is weird that among us are gods, a present to you, a demigod in our midst, someone who has a family who are all gods, in person of Emi, who fought for freedom, to Emi"
"To Emi" Everyone cheered and faced Emi, and gave a round of applause to him.
"Nothing feels like glory" Ajanaku said and smiled
"Hope it lasts"

Remi opened the door that led to the hut where he kept the eggs and ushered Ewatomi in, he ran to where the eggs were and pulled off the clothes he used to cover them.
"Ewwwww " Ewatomi said and knelt down placing her hands on both of the eggs,closing her eyes.
The eggs slowly began to glow and brightly illuminated the room, and slowly, the light traced through her veins, main it shine brightly.
Remi opened his mouth surprised and patiently waited, then she removed her hands but before she could open her eyes the light already died down.
"Why are you staring like you are seeing me naked" She asked and snapped her fingers at his face.
"Nothing"
"The egg is alive, if it's truly a flying lizard, am getting one" She said and sat on the bare floor.
"Hmm, don't let me give you hope o" Remi said and covered the eggs back and led her out and closed the door.
The egg on the right, suddenly cracked and fell into pieces. The dark room, made it hard for whatever came out of the egg to be seen, but a part illuminated on what looked like a tail and slowly it crawled off.

After the party which ended some hours before dawn, Emi immediately gathered himself to leave as soon as possible. Ajanaku on the other hand was having loads of fun with the white ladies that admired him. He winked at Emi and relaxed himself among them, smiling almost stupidly. Emi walked towards him and yelled him up butches arm
"Let's leave" Emi said and adjusted his agbada and his wrist beads.
"Ahh, ladies, thanks for the love" Ajanaku said and followed Emi.
"When did you become so fond of women" Emi said approaching the exit.
"Since Eri's mother saw me as a blood thirsty beast and left me"
One thier way out, they got double crossed by a prominent white man, probably a leader of some sort.
"Ahhhhhhhh, am I glad to see you" he said and hugged Emi tightly and patted him on the shoulder.
"Emperor June " Emi said with warm gesture.
"Thanks for giving us what to live for " June said smiling at Emi.
"Well, I guessed we had traitors among us then,  but all are now in the past" Emi said
"I would like to make a proposal" Emperor June said and giggled.
Ajanaku stood some steps away, watching them with close eyes.
"Which is"
"Consider remarrying, among the white, get a white lady and have more advantage with our kind, it would be nice to have someone like you in a family "
"Funny, am almost sixty seven" Emi replied
"Pardon me,  you look lot younger, I was thinking 45" June said.
Ajanaku fed up with what he considered a useless discussion walked up to them and gave a deadly stare at emperor June, allowing his eyes to flash red.
"I get the clue, see you later " June said and walked off before Emi could reply him.

GBAAAUUU!! the gunshot came from the thick woods, sending the bush pig to the ground, giving it not chance to struggle for survival.
"Emi ika " the hunter said and put on his head shot and ran towards his prey, and felt happy seeing he pulled down a big one that could earn him enough fortune.
"Thanks to the gods" he said and stared at the boar, wondering where to start from.
He raised his head and something shone on his face, at first he ignored it, but it was like his soul was attached to whatever it was, he looked towards the direction and the flash came again.
"What's that? " he asked himself and switched off his head torch.
He slowly walked towards the direction, bending down to avoid collision with the banana leaves that were below his head.
He got to where the object was and right at his feet, was what looked like a shining stone, on one part it shoned red while the other part was white.
His heart almost stopped beating, as he felt a sharp pain on his back, and another at his feet, he quickly let go off the stone and attempted to run, but his legs were already rooted to the ground, in that cold morning, he could feel himself sweating profusely..
He felt something crawled up his body and slowly he began to loss life, he tried to scream, but his throat denied him. A huge dark figure slowly rised before him, and put it's mouth against the hunter's mouth. The hunter slowly gasped, as his body rapidly turned pale and he immediately was dried up even to the bones.
The huge figure gave a sigh of relieve and growled softly, it looked towards the direction of the moon and gave a loud horrible shout.
