CHAPTER 10

FINAL BATTLE

11 , February . 2028 .

Gweneven drove in her Benz into the compound of their house , her daughter is still in school and she had better prepare something for lunch before she comes back . A paper dropped from nowhere in front of her , picking it up she saw the logo of the coven she belongs to on it . What did they want this time around ? , she asked herself as she opened the letter to read .

The wizard had done them good by giving them powers and now it's time for them to do him a favour , they need to join forces together to claim the Piligom . Gweneven smiled to herself , Bimpe is probably in fairyland right now .

Having spent eight years in jail , suffering for an offence she didn't commit , proved innocent by the court towards her missing friends , Bolu was finally released out of jail to regain her freedom .

Her dad smiled at her , she's quite taller than him now , much older and more beautiful .

" Dad , I miss you so much . " Bolu hugged her dad , he is a little bit old .

" Thanks to the lawyers who found a way to get you out of here , Nigeria is a very useless country . You could have gotten out since but there was no one to handle your case . Let's thank God you are alive .

" Dad , are you still hunting down .... "

" Not anymore , dad is old likewise his gangs . " He gave a little smile , that reminds Bolu of how young her father was back then .

" Wow , so who will ...... "

" You of course , I'm passing the legacy to you . You really deserve it and not me . Your agility , courage , persistent , tolerance , anger and skills have really shown that you are born for it , I have seen it in you when you were a kid and I Know that someday you will take after me . News got across to me about the gangs you had formed in the cell . You are mighty . " He replied .

" Thanks dad . " She replied as she hopped into the car , they both went home .

Bolu got home only to see that things have changed a lot . The windows and walls now look old , their iron stairs now looks rusty .

" Dad , why didn't you renovate the house ? " Bolu asked .

" Nothing , dad is growing with it . " He continued " You said you wanted to read pharmacy . Here's one for you . "

He handed a degree certificate in pharmacy to his daughter , who was excited .

" How did you do it dad , you forged it right. " She was excited .

" Not exactly , we have someone who resembles you in such a way that we can't tell the difference. She doesn't want to own a degree in pharmacy but rather medicine. So I strike a deal and she accepted. " He replied , offering his daughter a coffee cup .

" I'm soo proud to be your daughter . " Bolu smiled.

Her father was about chewing some bread , when he felt a hard substance in his mouth . He had lost another tooth , he showed it to his daughter who could not keep her eyes of it .

" When last did you visit the dentist. " Bolu asked .

" A week ago , he warned me to stop eating chewable foods . But you know , dad wants to have a bite . " He smiled at his daughter , revealing the gap on his front teeth .

" I miss my friends . " Bolu replied .

" You will see them soon , come let me show you something. " He replied .

Bolu followed her father to his room , he opened a parcel and showed Bolu something she had never seen before , it was the piligom Bimpe had been talking about , it was a very bright object that both she and her father had to cover their eyes .

" Dad what is this ? " Bolu asked her father .

" It is the piligom , I need to tell you something . " He replied .

" But , how did it get to you . This is what Bimpe is fighting for right now in her land. " Bolu replied .

" Before I gave birth to you , I and your mother were both returning from a night duty when we saw a light ball dropping from the sky , at first we thought it was the normal one we do see , where we would say a wish . It shocked us when we saw a lady lady , she was sacred of us and wanted to run away but my wife caught her with a net , so we took her home .

After so much torturing , she finally said where he was coming from , and to our surprise it was the first day we heard that fairyland exist . Even when your mother was in labour she was the only one who helped her while I was away , she made your mother give birth to you easily . I lied to you about your mother dying after your birth , forgive me .

Your mother and her became best friends , although she didn't tell me why she came to our world , she only told your mother . Your mother is the jealous type , just like you . She saw the way the fairy handled you , you were so close to he fairy than her , that you sometimes mistake her to your mother . You loved it when she put you in a lullaby , she smile whenever she's around , but frown whenever your own mother is around .

You've almost clocked the age of four when the fairy decided to leave , she handed the piligom to me , begging me to protect it with my life . She said she had saved my own daughter during her delivery and the only way to pay her back is to protect the piligom . Your mother on the other hand thought we were having an affair when she burst into the room seeing soo close to me , out of envy that had been burning her for days , she shot the fairy who died immediately .

" So what happened to my mother . " Bolu asked , tears where dropping from her eyes because she felt for the fairy , she remembered how the fairy looked like . Bimpe and her both have the same resemblance .

" After killing the fairy , she's was disturbed by some evil forces , who the other hand couldn't let me and you rest . The only solution to it was for your mother to commit suicide , in other for me and you to be alive . Today . " He replied , picking up his handkerchief , rubbing his tears .

Suddenly Bolu heard some noise outside , it was the sound of some evil spirits making some cracking sounds .

" Dad , I think they are hear. " She replied .

" Of course , anyone who handles the piligom is not safe . Take it and get out of here . " He replied .

" I don't understand . "

" I said take the piligom and run ! " He replied .

" To where ? , Come on dad ... "

" You are dumb , run away now . Don't come home until I call you . I hope you still remember how to drive . " He replied .

" Yes , your car key . " She replied , as she picked up a rifle and a dagger .

" Here it is , it safe for you to go to the nearest church . Demons don't go to the house of God , run ! . " He yelled .

Bolu jumped out of the window , Inserted the the car keys and without a turn , she speed up , smashing waste bins that was placed at the edge of the road . Suddenly she felt something controlling the wheels , it was a bony hand . Trying her best to stop it , a hand covered her face , which made the car slam to the ground .

It was confusing when she saw a hand holding a sword on the air , with no body attached to . Bolu didn't care whether she had a cut on her head which resulted from the previous accident . She picked up her rifle and shot the hand , she had almost gotten to the church when she saw a very big owl standing along side the road , Bolu knew this is something that has to do with witches , because owls are known for working with evil beings . Bolu hold the dagger at one hand and the piligom , she inserted it into her bra .

" Come forward , I dare you ! " Bolu shouted , she was shocked when she saw the owl turning to Gweneven .

" Well well well , this is the day I have been waiting for , " Gweneven smiled " I thought spending some years in jail will make you , or will I say sensible a little bit . But you are the dumbest person I have ever known . Guess what , I was the one who told the principal , oh my God that man is dead , may his perfect soul rest in hell . Like I said , I was the one who told the principal about you , I lied on you so you could pay for ..... "

Before she could complete what she wanted to say , Bolu had threw the dagger on her chest making her groan for pain . Suddenly Gweneven turned into a injured owl , staring Bolu in the eye . Who immediately shot her with her rifle . Bolu took to her heels , after shooting Gweneven . She was scared. Suddenly a bright light arouse from the sky , taking Bolu away .

Bolu woke up , only to find herself on a green field . She wasn't sure of where she was , but she knew she is somewhere strange , at first she thought she was in paradise not until when she saw the drawings for the piligom on a rock ,it was then she knew she was in fairyland .

Who might have bought her here , she questioned herself , heading towards the market she had saw from a far . Bolu got to the market and searched everywhere to the extent of asking a lot traders and customers if they had seen a young woman with a purple hair , all what she could hear from them is NO . What the hell is going on ? , She asked herself as has wiped off the sweat that was already accumulating on her forehead .

" Bolu what are you doing here ? " Bimpe tapped her back .

" Bimpe ! " Bolu was excited .

" Shhhhhhh , don't shout my name " Bimpe replied , covering Bolu's mouth .

" Why are you covering your head with a scarf ? " Bolu asked .

" No one knows I'm here . " She replied .

" Anyway I'm with the Piligom " Bolu smiled .

" As how , which Piligom again " Bimpe was confused .

" The one with the wizard is the fake one ," she continued " your mother planned it . "

" Can you explain to me better ? " Bimpe replied , dragging Bolu in a dark place .

" It was your piligom that brought me here . " Bolu replied .

Bolu bought out the Piligom from her cloth , Bimpe was shocked to see how strange it was . It was a snail shell with different colors customized on it .

" Oh my God ! , Why did you keep it all this long . " Bimpe replied as she grabbed the Piligom from Bolu .

" Relax , your mother gave it to my father " Bolu replied .

" Really . The piligom must have brought you here . " Bimpe replied , examining the Piligom .

" Because I just told you . " Bolu pinched her .

" Anyhow . " Bimpe replied .

" What about Kelvin ? , We can't find him . " Bolu replied .

" He messed up . " She frowned her face .

" As how , I don't understand , What actually happened ? " Bolu asked .

" I murdered him " she replied .

Bolu was shocked . Why would Bimpe do that , because of her and Kelvin she nearly spent almost all her life in prison .

" Do you know what you've done . " Bolu replied .

" I can explain Bolu , it's just .."

" That what ? , you killed your friend . " Bolu replied , moving backwards away from Bimpe .

" He planned to kill my people , destroying almost all the buildings in fairyland and most especially he wants the Piligom for his own selfish interest " Bimpe replied .

" Anyway who cares about him , his just a tool to us . " Bolu replied , remembering how Kevin's uncle embarrassed her at the station .

" I need to get to the tower before dawn , I need to destroy the wizard . " Bimpe replied .

" You can't do that alone " Bolu was confused .

" And thank God you are here , you can help me do that . "

" Me ! , Come-on you know I can't . Haven't you talked to your people yet " Bolu argued.

" You want these angry looking people to beat the hell out of me after leaving them for many years . I know you don't like me . " Bimpe replied .

" Alright if you have trouble with that there's a way I can help , I mean talking to your people . " She replied .

" How ? , You are not from this world " Bimpe replied .

" Just watch me " Bolu replied walking out of the dark place , but suddenly she turned back .

" What ? " Bimpe asked .

" Bimpe you look young. " Bolu asked.

" Yea , I'm still eighteen . " Bimpe replied .

" And I am twenty-five . " Bolu replied.

" Well , you know in fairyland we don't age quickly . I have lived for five hundred years before coming to earth and just eighteen years on earth before coming back here again , this is just the third day of me staying here , again . " She smiled as she watch Bolu's jaw drop .

" Oh my God ! , Bimpe so it means you've lived for five hundred and twenty one years and you are still young " Bolu looked confused .

" Stop it Bolu . " She replied .

" Anyway just watch me . " Bolu replied .

Bimpe watched as Bolu climbed on top of the market walls , she bought out a portable music player , playing a disturbing music . Before she knew it , everyone gathered before her throwing words , some were even throwing stones and other objects at her .

" Relax , relax . I know you don't know me and I don't even want to know you either .

You all know that you are suffering from the mistakes of your leaders especially the guardian who ran away to my world , I'm from the weak world and I know we are not that familiar with each other . You rely on gods and magical powers but we rely on science and technology .

Your guardian who ran away came to my world , not because of fear or irresponsibility but because she wants to fight back what has been stolen from her and her people . She came my world to learn more about things , things you think might never exist , things that the wizard himself cannot have a knowledge of .

She has the real Piligom , the wizard is with the fake one and he is using that to scare you off . You are bigger than that ! , If you don't support her who else will ? , You have to fight not just only for her , but for the future of your children and your generations that are yet to come .

Your ancestors effort should not be in vain , you all need to fight for fairyland if you really want it to be what it was before ! " Bimpe was shocked if they might support her not , she looked at Bolu who gave her a smile , telling her to come out .

Holding the Piligom in her hands , she raised it up for the crowd to see , it was so bright that it can blind the eyes that stares soo much at it . The people felt joy and victory , they have seen the Piligom and they will fight to claim their lost land .

Finally on a beautiful garden , Bolu and Bimpe stood outside watching the busy traders .

" Thank you for today " Bimpe replied , hugging Bolu from behind .

" Come-on we are together , i can do anything just for you . You know I love you. " she replied , kissing Bolu .

" I can't just imagine how it will be tomorrow " Bimpe replied , pointing at the icy mountain that stood erect .

" I have missed you so much . " Bolu replied resting her hands on Bimpe's shoulders .

" I miss my mum and my siblings too , I wonder where and how she will be . She must miss me a lot . " Bimpe replied , her face could be read by Bolu as someone in a regretful condition .

" Eight years is not a joke . When we defeat the wizard , will you come back home with me . " Bolu asked , biting her lips as she waits for the response of Bimpe.

" I'm not sure Bolu , your world is not my world . This is my world . " Bimpe replied as moved closer to Bolu .

Their lips touched each other , feeling the chemistry within them to have rise , they both laid on the wet grass , it was a perfect time for the two as their was no sound , except from the creepy noise of the crickets that kept annoying Bolu .

" When we are through all this , will you still stay with me . " Bimpe asked .

" Why not . " Bolu replied .

" It means you will have to forget your families on earth "Bimpe argued .

" My dad is old already , he has nothing to lose . " Bolu continued .

" I'm just scared , and more ever . I missed my mum . " Bimpe replied .

" Remember she just adopted you . Your real parents legacy depends on you . " Bolu smiled .

" Thank you my love . " Bimpe replied , as she put off her clothes .
