Dear Steemians,

A powerful man angrily turn to a rock

Once upon a time when some evil spirit invaded the village of Akuwongba, this village is an ancient village who participated and join other villages in fighting for their freedom. Right shortly after Akuwongba installed new Balee (Head of the Village) everything started went wrong, uncountable of lives and children usually lost their lives on daily basis.

This make people to gathered together to dethrone the Balee, but the more they try, the more they failed and those who rebel against the Balee, was arraign and got killed. youth comes out to protest and demand for justice, when the information reached Balee he sent some lot of guards to beat the hell from them.

Community elders gathering together with few youth to fight to remove the devil reign of new Balee over their village, few days later, information reached Balee some are gathering against him, he sent guards to arrested them for planning rebel, when the guards arrived at the venue of their gathering , the first five elders who came early was arrested, but this powerful man used his power to released others but he remain in the jailed himself.

Balee intend to behead them, but on coming down to the jailed he couldn't find the rest only this old man, he got annoyed and give order to sentence him to death by behead him, the old man laughing at them hahaha, this got Balee angry more, i collected the sword to behead the old man, of suddenly a thunder strike and kill Balee. That is the end of Balee reign in his time.

When villagers heard the news, everyone started to jubilation and happiness feel their heart, many were praises this old man for rescue their village from a cruel Balee who enjoying seeing innocent blood on the ground or perhaps using them their blood for rituals.

The following year, Akuwongba install new Balee, everything was going on well and everyone are doing good in their businesses, cultivation etc. An Ifa priest (Oracle) came to Balee palace to convey the message to Balee, Ifa priest told Balee, they need to perform a ritual which we prevent incoming calamity to befall Akuwongba village, Balee sent guards to announce to the curfew from 6pm till 6am in the morning.

The old man who killed the last Balee with thunder has only a son, this son is a farmer and also a traders, who goes from villages to villages to buy goods, this old man only son was coming from his business trip, unfortunate for him, he didn't know there is curfew in his father village, as they were about to crossed to their land, the old man saw guards at the borders, him and his servants was running back, one of the guards shot him dead. Others servants couldn't ran away and left their master, they were all arrested, but on their way to the palace, one servant try to escaped, he got shot but luckily for him, he struggle to get home and told the old man his son was shot by Balee guards, this old man got burning wanted to went and revenge his son death, but due to pleadings from the peoples he calm a bit waiting to hear from the king himself, three day past nothing, old man went with few others to the palace to meet Balee, sadly, Balee deny none of the guards kill his only son, this old man cried out and start raining curses on Akuwongba village, everyone keep pleading, he told them they won't see him anymore, he angrily turn to rock.
