INTRODUCTION
Who is God? How does he looks like? Do you still believe he is all supreme? Has anyone proved his existence? How do i serve someone I haven't seen? Looking around me, everyone caught in claws of religion, they fear it more than they fear death.
Let no one call me to serve in his presence, let no one make me think for once, our life is controlled by someone afar, someone who i personally knows does not exist.
Yes! I am an Atheist, yes! I belief I rule my own world.

CHAPTER ONE
All he could hear were faint voices, he knew something was wrong, opening his eyes, everywhere still looked dark, he raised his hands up and felt a sharp pain on it.
"He is awake" a familiar voice said with a tone of happiness beside him
"Praise thy Looooorrrd" Another voice shouted again.
Just then everything began to make sense to him. Last he could rememeber was condemning religion.
He had shunned off an elderly man for telling him God wanted to use him for greater work, failure to compylly could cost him his life. But still what kind of God threatens someone if he is all caring and loving as they claim.
"Can you hear me, Doctor Daniel can you hear me?"
"What happened" Doctor Daniel asked with a cracking voice.
"Its a miracle how you survived, a tanker rammed your car into the off the bridge, miraculously we found your body by the river shore" the same person replied.
"I cant see"
"We are trying our best, sincerely, you have lost your sight"
-----
Doctor Daniel sat still on the cushion chair in his huge living room, being blind was indeed a curse, he now relied on other sense organs to have an idea of what is going on in his surrounding.
"Ann" he called out, hearing the door open and slowly turned his head towards the direction.
He felt a soft kiss on his fore head and smiled in return.
"How are you doing handsome" Ann asked and sat down near him.
"Good, You know i already start missing your beauty, your smile and all"
"Phew, dont worry, am always around, the company insisted on getting a maid, but dont worry, am here, always available" She said tapped him gentlt on the legs.
"All of a sudden am becoming a burden" he replied and sighed
"Thats why am here, we have to venture into a new business, youve built yourself wealth, maybe its time to sustain that and move on, when life throws lemon at you, well huhuhhnn maybe you can decide to add honey" Ann said and they both busted into laughter.
"Thanks for the support" Daniel replied and moved hus hand about, in search for hers.
For a moment, everything was still, as different thought filled Daniels heart.
"Ohh, am late for bible study" Ann shouted, breaking the silence "Lets get your nicely dressed"
"For what?"
"Well gentleman, you are coming with me"
"No way, no way, you now i wont"
Ann kept mute for a moment then spoke
"Then our love story ends here, Mr Daniel, these is my condition for being with you, follow me to church or we end it here" She said amd patiently waited for Daniel's reply.
"Well, I could go and sleep off, am blind so no one will notice"
---------
Daniel relaxed himself on the plastic chair third row in the church, with Ann sittinf down beside him, coming to church was not in his plan, but since it has happened.
"Young man" the man preaching suddenly called out looking at Daniel where he sat, one after the other, all eyes fell on Daniel, who wasnt aware of what was happening.
"He cant see sir" Ann replied in defense.
"Because he threw away God's instruction, but as loving as our Jehova is, he still wants to make use of him, if he is willing or not" The preacher shouted.
Daniel only had a smile on his face, only if the so called God knew how determined his heart was.
"His calling, isnt to heal the sick or anything else, its to protect the weak, even i myself dont fully understand"
--------
"Goodnight" Ann greeted and rolled herself up inside the blanket, then placed her hand on Daniel's stomach.
"Night" Daniel replied and swallowed softly and again, slowly he drifted to sleep.
He felt a cold hand tap him, so cold, he had to mutter random words and turn anotjer direction on the bed.The tap came again this time a bit harder.
Daniel felt two fingers lay on his eyes and felt something fell of from them, sitting right at the last edge of his bed, was a verh shiny figure, that illuminated so brightly, he had to dim his eyes.
"So strong hearted and determined" the image spoke.
Daniel for a moment was static and slowly he found the strength to talk.
"Who are you?"
"The one you despise so much, do my will and find peace, take up this mantle and protect the weak"
Suddenly the image was gone, returning the room to its former state. Daniel discovered he could see.
"How possible" he muttered and gently got off from his bed, trying as much as possible not to wake Ann.
He walked towards the standing mirror, only to discover more shock. His eyes were closed like he was still blind, while he could see clearly, he used his palm to cover his face and yet he could still see, using his pyjamas to cover his face he could still see. He turned around to return to the bed and suddenly lost balance falling hard to the ground.
Ann quickly jumped off the bed, and felt relaxed seeing Daniel on the ground, straining.
"Ooo yee blind, why do thou thread at night" She said mockingly and helped him to his feet.

CHAPTER TWO
Daniel tapped Ann on the laps while he sat himself upright, she grumbled and turned around, covering herself with the wrapper.
"Its morning already, and you're late for work" he said and slowly turned his head around.
"Jeeez" Ann shouted and jumped out of the bed, without thinking twice, she dropped her pyjamas off her body and dashed into the bath room. Moments later she hurried out and began dressing up.
"God, how are you going to eat?" She questioned and quickly applied body lotion on her body.
Daniel squeezed his face in disgust and turned his head another direction away from the view before him.
"Why such face, am naked and am glad you cant see me" She said teasing Daniel, and lastly wore her red blouse.
"Let me quickly get you tea"
"Darling, get going to work, I'll sort myself, i know this house bettee than you" Daniel replied .
"I'll call Queen to come around as soon as possible" She said and grabbedbher bag, brought out her car key and bolted out.
Danile quickly jumped to his feet band dashed to the kitchen, looking through the cupboards deciding what to eat, he felt someone touch him from behind.
Swiftly turning around, he saw the image from last night behind him.
"Jeez, I know you exist already, let me be" Daniel said and stepped back.
The bright image stood for a while, then paced around for a while, Daniel's eyes also moving with it.
"I'm your guidian angel, at least till you can personally handle the threat that is roaming this world" The image said and slowly the light dim, revealing a young boy around the age of 17
"A boy" Daniel muttered and grabbed a noodles from the top of the cupboard and turned on the gas.
"Do you have a name?"
"No, you'll have to name me" The boy said and placed a pot on the burning gas.
"Thank you, so what threat is so big, that the so called Prime cannot stop" Daniel asked and squeezed the noodles into the pot as the boy poured water into it.
"Time"
Daniel paused and faced the boy and scoffed
"I know all this is still a dream and I'll play along till I wake up" Daniel said and covered the pot.
"Hey, am serious, I know you've heard the rumors about Leviathan, a secret group of super humans, working as machineries for those who can afford them and silently controlling the affairs of this country" The boy said and leaned on the kitchen cabinet.
"Just rumors"
"TThey are real, people with powers are real, people like you"
Daniel scoffed and leaned also on the kitchen cabinet.
"This is not power, just one wierd dream, am blind yet can still see even through a blindfold" Daniel replied.
The boy placed a thin long rod on Daniel's and turned off the gas
"Follow me"

CHAPTER THREE
Daniel followed behind the boy, using the rod on his hand to trail like a blind man would do, so as not to create unwanted attention.
"We are almost there"
He heard the voice in his head and halted. The boy only smiled and used his head to signal to Daniel.
He took a right bend into a lonely part of the street and came in contact with a dead end.
"Dead end" Daniel said smiled with a silly look on his face.
"There is never a dead end for a traveller" the boy replied and ran across the wall, and leaped over the fence to the other part.
Daniel clinched tight to his chest and gasped softly
He stood still for a moment and wondered how his life was taking a drastic change. He heard a mockery giggling in his head and scoffed, looking at the fence, the same way the boy ran across it he did same and leaped over the fence, falling hard on his side.
"Good job"
Daniel rises to his feet and bent down beside the boy, who lifted used the slunderground sewage cover and descended down into it.
"What's here?" Daniel asked holding, walking with care.
"You have to see it yourself" The boy replied and leaned on the wall, walking against iit, then stopped and peeped ahead.
Quickly entering into another part and finding themselves a place to his, the boy smiled at Daniel who had a very odd look on his face.
The place suddenly became bright, as a portal popped out, spilling two humans out from it.
"Shiiiiiiiitt" Daniel muttered and look at the boy, who was busy folding and opening his palms.
"We have to return to headquater, the sand was barely enough to send us through" a feminine voice said and and groaned.
"What about the traveller, do you know if they have any intel on him?" A masculine voice spoke this time again.
"We are here" The boy said and came out of hiding
The man and the lady paused having a long look on their face.
"You mean a blind man" the lady asked and grinned .
The boy smiled and stretched out his hand, and a staff flowed out on it, having a shiny green stone hanging by itself and carved on the top tip of the staff.
Daniel quickly brought out his handkerchief and covered his face.
The boy dashed towards his opponent, and used the staff to spring himself up, with ease he kicked the lady on the jaw and fired a shot at her out from the staff, turning her immediately into dust.
The man didn't attempt to fight back and quickly took to his heels. The boy positioned the staff in a straight line with his right eye and squinted and fired a shot and the man, also turning him into dust.
"Phew"
"Wow, that's awkward" Daniel said with joy in his voice and spanked the boy on the back.
"The work of a traveller isnt one to be take with levity, these guys go back in time to make things favour them, am the only reason Remi is still alive"
"Yeah, sure, with great power comes great responsibility and who is Remi?"
"Never mind, do you fully accept to be a traveller" The boy asked with a stern look on his face.
"If it will put me out of my misery, I accept"
-
CHAPTER FOUR

Daniel sat down on the chair, watching as Ann moved from one end of the living room to another, having a brown file on her hand, with some papers on it and also she chewed the bottom of her Biro.
"She's beautiful" Daniel heard the voice in his head looked beside him, and saw the boy beside him.
He looked back at Ann and had a smile on his face and then looked at the wall clock.
"Its late already this twenty minutes to nine" Daniel said and continued smiling.
Ann sighed and looked also at the wall clock.
"I thought you were blind" She said and placed the documents on the center table and bent forward to kiss him.
"Well am not totally blind" He said still smiling.
Jane scoffed and raised two fingers in the air.
"How many is this?" She asked knowning fully well he was blind.
"Two, its nice you still have our engagement ring with you" Daniel replied and smiled more.
Ann expression changed and stood upright and shook her head slightly.
"Okay this is weird"
"Actually it isn't" the boy replied , revealing himself where he sat beside Daniel.
--------
Daniel gently laid Ann on the bed and fanned her before facing the boy.
"You asked me to tell her" Daniel shouted and pushed the boy on his chest.
The boy only stood motionless, with annoyance in his heart.
"Do you know what would have happened if she found out you were hiding something from her" He replied and turned towards the door.
The room went silent for a while, both of them were out of words on what to say. The boy stretched his hands and made his staff appear. He pointed it towards Ann and made the staff glow
"Hey what are you doing" Daniel asked and stood in between.
"Get out of the way, I want to erase the memory she has about it" he replied and poked Daniel on the stomach.
"No, its alright, all she needs is explanation" Daniel replied and pushed the staff away.
Ann yarned and stretched her body, and wriggled on the bed and suddenly jumped off the bed.
She looked at Daniel confused and then at the boy holding the staff in his hands.
"Does that glow normally" She said and pointed at the staff
The boy looked at it and then to Daniel, we have to go, someone is back in the past" He said and banged the bottom of the staff on the ground and suddenly and portal opened up, before the door.
"Come on" the boy said and ran towards the portal.
Daniel smirked and gave Ann a quick peck on the right cheek and ran towards the portal.
"I'll explain when we arrive" he said and jumped into the portal after the boy.
Ann sat still on the bed, staring at the portal and as the portal disappered , She slumped on her bed.
-----
"Hey, I rrememeber accident, why are we seeing it again" Daniel asked, as they came out of the bush from where the portal had opened up and walked towards the high way.
"Cause we are in the past" the boy replied and flagged down a cab.
After negotiation, they entered into the ccab and continued their conversation.
"The big challenge is finding who out time traveller is" the boy said and adjusted himself.
"We have more than ten million people in this country alone, how do you find just one person" Daniel replied and looked out from the cab "we are in 2012" he said again and smiled.
The cab driver looked at the rear mirror, looking at then as they spoke, hfeeling uncomfortable, he switched on his FM tuner and tuned to a musical station and increased the volume.
Listening to the music, Daniel smiled and nodded his head to the vibe of the music and relaxed feeling satisfied by the music.
The boy tapped him hard on the leg, drawing him back to reality.
"What?"
"This music, from the future was composed by OLAMIDE this is not his voice"
Daniel paused and paid more attention to the music, and opened his mouth widely in surprise.
"Stop us here, we've found out musical thief" The boy said and opened the door before the car could completely come to an halt.
The boy brought out his phone and pressed it furiously
"Damn, even 4g isn't available in this era"
Daniel tapped the boy on the shoulder and pointed to a bill banner across the road.
"There, he is having a concert in .... Well fuck, even Olamide had same concert in the same hall"
"how come a doctor knows so much" the boy asked and flagged down another cab.
"Well, this is Nigeria"
--------
Forcing their way through the crowd, Daniel and the boy made sure they had a clear view of their target.
"The back stage" Daniel said and pulled the boy by the arm through the cloud
Right before them stood two huge bouncers , blocking their way from reaching their target. The boy, without thinking twice, quickly formed a knuckle and launched a blow at the jaw of the bouncer before him, sending him distance away, making him crash against the pile of speakers.
The second bouncer, saw his colleague in a bad shape and attempted a punch at daniel who quickly formed a fist and blew him hard on the stomach, making the body guard stagger threw steps backward. He quickly rushed at the bouncer and scrapped him off his feet and made him slump to the ground and immediate he went unconscious.
"Impressive"
They heard footsteps and saw their target running off, and quickly he got into his car and zoomed off.
"What next?"
The boy made the staff appear and made a portal, at the previous position of the car before it zoomed off, out of the portal, the car came out and halted some meters away from them.
All four doors suddenly flew off, and slowly the person in it alighted.
"How did you get into the past?" The boy asked and pointed his staff forward.
"I thought it was all lies, when I heard the traveller now has a pet" the man said and pulled off the golden necklace around his neck and the rrings on his finger to the ground
The boy ggrinned and pointed his staff as it began forming white shiny ball at the tip, he fired the first shot at his target, who quickly dodged it.
He fired another again and suddenly his staff flew off from his hand, Daniel suddenly felt a force throw him away, and also the boy in another direction.
The man flexed his muscle and in a blink he appeared before the boy and held him up by the neck.
Daniel felt something rise in him and he stood up , stretching his hand forward, a golden staff appeared on his hand, carved in between a golden stone, it shined brightly and WHAAAMMMP Daniel shot at the man and instantly he turned into dust.
"Are you okay?" He asked and ran towards the boy, kneeling beside him.
"Yea, just get us home".
-------
-------
Ann still glued to the bed, saw a shiny light before her and it became wide, as Daniel came out from it, supporting the boy with one arm and his staff on the other. He looked up and saw Ann shivering where she sat.
"Hey, I need your help please" He said and threw his staff at Ann.
He laid the boy on the bed and smiled at Ann, who Stoll wondered how he could see, while his eyes were closed
"Lets talk about it over dinner" Daniel said and held Ann by the arm.

CHAPTER FIVE
"....for thy rod and thy staff, tthey confort me, thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy....... Surely goodness and mercy.......and I shall dwell in the house of thy lord forever. Amen"
Daniel kept mute, patiently waiting for Ann and the boy to read all their Psalms. He sighed relief after Ann shared the grace and they all rises to their feet.
"Good night" the boy said and faded into thine air.
-----
Daniel shruddered and rolled uncomfortably on the bed, he muttered inaudible words and suddenly screamed from his sleep. Ann quickly jumped off the bed and quickly switched on the light, only to see Daniel arm all bruised and his face looking weary.
"Hey, hey look at me" Ann said trying to can him down and placed her pamls on his face making him look straight at her.
The door lock suddenly came off to the ground, sending fear down Ann's spine, she felt relieved after seeing it was the boy that came in.
"Time Karma" he said and knelt down before Daniel who was stiffed to one position.
"Christ, things are really going odd" She said and stood up.
A loud crash suddenly came from the living room, drawing everyone's attention. Ann stood still to one position and had a puzzled look on her face and then directed it to the boy.
"I don't know what it is" he replied and kept silent.
They all heard loud footstep approaching the room, with scary low voices, gradually it got louder and scarier. Ann quickly dashed at the door and banged it and quickly turned the key and ran back again standing next to the boy.
"What's happening?" She asked the boy and watched as Daniel tried to stand to his feet.
"Stay there" the boy said and his staff appeared on his left hand.
"What's wrong" Daniel asked and felt a slight headache on his head.
"Let's start from what you saw in your dream" The boy replied and faced Daniel.
The approaching footstep ceased , adding a bit of relief to their mind.
"I saw myself among many doors and started hearing your voice in my head asking me to open on of the door" Daniel replied and stopped.

"How many did you open?" The boy asked with a puzzled look.
A loud bang came at the door, rrepeatedly. Ann suddenly gave a loud scream, making both Daniel and the boy close their ears with their hands.
"Hey enough" Daniel shouted and covered her mouth with his palm.
"How many did you open?" The boy asked again.
"Seven"
"God in heaven, I still had three time karma to lock up and you opened seven doors" the boy barked at Daniel angrily.
"Hey, nobody told me anything about it, I tried fighting them off, I never knew an attack in the dream could reflect in reality" Daniel shouted back in response.
The boy only looked at him and made a portal before them
"Everyone get in" he said and entered first.
Daniel led Ann forward and expected her to walk in.
"No, I don't know where that leads to" She said and staggered as another heavy bang came at the door.
"Ann trust me, get in"
The boy rushed back out from the portal, with a angry look on his face.
"This portal doesn't flow on it's own. Its draining my energy" he said and walked back in.
The bang came at the door again , sending a bolt to the ground and partially moved it out from it's frame.
"One more bang that door will come open" Daniel said and pushed Ann hard into the portal.
The door suddenly flunged open before the portal.
fear suddenly hooked Daniel, seeing the monster before him, the time karma was like a solid dark smoke with an axe over its shoulder, red burning eyes, the shape of a demon, it approached Daniel slowly, raising its axe up.
Daniel felt himself pulled into the portal, right about the time the time karma sent its axe swaying his direction and immediately the portal closed.
------
Location: CITY MORGUE
Time: 10:17am.
A police van drove into the city morgue, and stopped at the parking lot, a well built man, not too dark in complexion, alighted from the driver's seat and another man from the other side.
"This is strange" the man that drove the car said, seeing more than a hundred lifeless body laying on the ground, and more bodies were brought in.
"Detective Makinde" a man wearing a white lab coat shouted from afar and ran up to meet them.
"Doctor Jude, good morning" Detective Makinde replied and stretched his hand forward for an handshake
"Morning" he replied and shakes hands with Detective Makinde's partner.
"Any thing suspected to be the cause of death" Detective asked and placed his hand on his chin
"Follow me" Doctor Jude replied and led the way forward.
"Here" he said and bent down to uncover the body that laid lifeless on the ground "An aaxe to the chest" he said and pointed to the huge hole on the chest of the body.
"Any witness" Detective Makinde's partner asked .
"Yes, you should see her yourself".
-------
Daniel and Ann followed weakly on the street behind the boy, who also struggled to continue.
"Hey, where exactly are we headed?" Daniel asked and turned the boy towards him by the shoulder.
"This things is clearly bigger than the both of us, the only help I can think of is Remi" the boy replied and continued to walk " Its just around about some ten blocks away"
"Time Karma are only active at night, in three night only they can wipe out and entire city"
-----
Daniel pushed the door opened and made himself comfortable on the reception chair, followed by Ann, while the boy stood and looked around, the busy environment as everyone paid attention to their teakwando training.
"Hey please excuse me" the boy said drawing a little girls attention to him. "Please show me the person in charge" he said and smiled at her.
"You can only see him, if you defeat our best fighter"
Daniel stood up angrily and bent down towards the girl.
"How old are you, ten I guess, do you want to die young. No. Look over there" Daniel said and pointed to the television "you'll end up dead if you don't tell us where Remi is".
"Am right here" a voice said, drawing their attention to the man.
"Is that him?" Daniel turned to ask The boy.
"That's Prime, keep that a secret"
-----
Detective Makinde entered into the doctor's office and sat down directly facing the lady he concluded to be the witness.
"Hello" he greeted and gently took his seat.
"Scary demons with axe on their hands, they moved so fast, only the light kept them off, they are scared of the light"
Detective Makinde risee and walked towards exit
"They killed all my family in one night" the lady said. Her eyes all swollen.
Detective Makinde without saying any word, turned his head to look at her and walked out of the room
