I returned back with a calabash of water as she drank and gave back to me.
Am with you mother I said.

That day Awele gave birth to you and asked her maid to call out for me. As I moved near to her on the mat she held me close and asked everyone to go out. Then she told me her deepest secret.
You know it is only a secret when only one knows it. Awele has been suffering emotionally since,and it was not like she couldn't conceive like me but she had been aborting all her pregnancy without me knowing. Abeke she called me as she groans in pain,listen to all am about to say.

...few years ago before Agunola's town became what it is today,there was a war between two brothers of the same father,the late king of this land,I mean king Adeniran's father and the other near by village Bolanta. It was a fight over their inheritance, that is land. This led to war between the two brothers and when the war was tight and the late king was about loosing,he went in search of power where he met the agunla's mountain goddess who promised to help him with the war on the agreement that he will do anything she asked off after the war.

Just as the mountain goddess said,the war was fought and won peacefully and agunola's village as the most of the land,but after the celebration of his enthronement, that same night he went in search of the mountain goddess but couldn't find her and since then he said no one should move towards the mountain as he kept on performing different rituals to the mountain.
