Tale of a ritualist.
Episode 9.
(IN IGBUDU TEMPLE)

QUEEN MOTHER: have you come to pay your dues(EMEKA)
Me: yes my Queen
Queen mother: who did you want to sacrifice to igbudu?
Me: I will sacrifice Cindy MA
Queen: give me her picture
I handed her picture over to Queen mother and she made some incantations over it and she said:
Queen mother: igbudu had rejected her
Me: what!!!! (what else did you want me to do?)
Queen: you have to sacrifice your sister
Me: you are not serious MA. I won’t sacrifice her cos she is the reason why I made this money. Killing her is killing myself.
Queen: then prepare to die
Me: I rather die than to sacrifice her to blood sucking (igbudu) .
I mentioned that and walk away from the temple.
(IN MY MANSION)………………
I came back home depressed and so many thought where running through my mind.
This doesn’t make sense, why will igbudu reject Cindy but chose my beloved sister?
Igbudu really want to wreck my life.
I prefer to sacrifice my mother than my sister.
The knock on my door brought me back from my subconscious state of mind into reality.
When I flung the door open, behold Kelvin and one young guy I didn’t know.
I ushered them inside and present a bottle of champagne to them. While we are sipping it,
Kelvin: Emeka, have you paid your dues?
Me: not yet
Kelvin: then what is holding you back from paying your dues when you know the consequences that befall anyone who didn’t sacrifice on time.
Me: I rather die than sacrificing my beloved sis
Kelvin: **giggled* you must be out of your senses. Did you know how many of my siblings and relations that I had sacrificed?
Me: I may not know. I have decided to die than to sacrifice her.
Kelvin: OK, I have solution to your problem
Me: what could be the solution?
Kelvin: do you know this guy that is here with me.
That’s when I realized that he came in with somebody that I don’t know yet I didn’t bother to ask who he was
Me: no
Kelvin: he is a member of a great cult and he will help you by initiating you into their cartel.
I nuzzled my hand for an handshake and he accepted it.
Me: what’s your name sir?
Guy: Am Murphy and you?
Me: Am emeka. So how can you be of help the problem am facing now
Murphy: you have to visit our grandmaster
Me: what did you mean by our?
Murphy: *giggle** Kelvin is our member now.
My eyes come open more wider
Kelvin: oh yes, I belong to their cartel so that their God’s will protect me from igbudus wrath
Murphy: prepare yourself, we are going to visit our grandmaster to know what he will say concerning your prob.
(INSIDE IYI TEMPLE)
Grandmaster: what bring you people here?
Murphy: (bowing) I brought this young man to you cos he is seeking for protection
Grandmaster: young man, what brings you to my temple?
(Observing the protocols so I bow)
I explained everything to him and also how igbudu is demanding for my life.
Grandmaster: so what did you want me to do?
Me: (see this man ooo) I came to take refuge in thee
Grandmaster: can you pay the price required for these your request.
Me: what could be the sacrifice?
He made some incantations before he said
Grandmaster: you will make a sacrifice of human head.
Me: hmmmmm, that is not a problem. But who could it be?
Grandmaster: you will sacrifice your mother to IYI
Mw: what!!!!
