PART ELEVEN – Back at the home of his unfit uncle King Temugedege, Ozidi took Odogu’s Wife to bed with him that night. Though she seemed to willingly leave Odogu’s home, and in fact had led Ozidi by the hand as they fled, it became clear that the woman was playing a game of her own.
She and the eager Ozidi would kiss and cuddle and a bit more, but when our main character tried to enter her, Odogu’s Wife would go all coy again and try to get Ozidi to tell her the secret of his strength and his supernatural weapons. Our hero stubbornly refused.
So it went the next night, too, with Odogu’s Wife also inquiring about the magic powers of Ozidi’s sorceress grandmother Oreame. Over the next few nights, Ozidi, much shrewder than he had been before, pretended to go and get an object which would reveal all his and Oreame’s secrets to Odogu’s Wife. Continue reading
PART TEN – We begin this installment with a much more mature and sober-minded Ozidi. We’ve seen him go from his wild and unavoidable embrace of violence during his revenge quest against the murderers of his father to destructively maintaining that reflexive violence after his vengeance had been achieved.
PART SIX – Corresponding with the one-day hiatus from the story tellers and singers performing the Ozidi Epic, our hero has been sleeping after slaying Badoba. Tall Badoba was the latest of his father’s killers to meet their end at the hands of Ozidi the Younger. Only the leader of the murderers remained – Ofe.
Our hero’s mother Orea and his sorceress grandmother Oreame fed him breakfast until he was full. Then it was time once again to go into action, so Ozidi reached down his throat and pulled out of his mouth his sword made of lightning, his battle clothing, his musicians and attendants plus his spear and other weapons. He pulled out his monkey and lizard, too.
