THE UNION
Chapter 24: THE TRIALS
"It worked, we're here." Abayo says as he, Ngozi and Gboyega suddenly appear in front of a big of a big gate inside the building is a huge red shrine.
"So what do we do?" Gboyega asked eager to save Tolu.
"You guys wait here, they won't allow you guys enter without access from The Trials and their receptionist. So I have to find a way to get a order from my father." Abayo says swiftly, hides his head ban in a pocket and takes off inside. Gboyega steps back a bit from Ngozi.
"Did I say anything wrong?" Ngozi asked confused about why he was moving away from her.
"Nothing, I'll just like to maintain my distance." Gboyega says boldly, this leads to a argument between both of them as Ngozi complains about his recent attitude towards her.
A lady wearing a glasses leads a group of people towards the shrine.
"We're almost there." She says happily. "Too bad were missing the two other special couples, Fai'zah really wanted to help them." The lady say sad about the incident, she had read about their issues and about how they argue a lot, she suddenly spots Ngozi and Gboyega yelling at each other.
"There they are." The lady says and runs toward them.
"I just don't understand you most times, you're so complicated." Ngozi says loudly.
"See who's calling who complicated." Gboyega laughs out loud.
"Your problems are solved!" The lady yells as she runs towards them.
"Who are you?" Gboyega says disgusted.
"I'm Erica, the receptionist of the shrine. I was scared when I didn't see both of you with the other couples. Fai'zah mentioned that you both somehow have powers so you probably got here by yourself." Erica says delighted, the two quickly played along.
"Of course, my amulet contains some few powers so we just went from home to here." Ngozi quickly responds.
"Let's go." Erica leads both of them with the other couples to a black gate, the door of the gate opens by it self and a balls of eyes and mouth pop out of the gate.
"Welcome, I hope you find answers to your problems." The voice of the gate sounds manly, everyone waved to the gate except Gboyega and Ngozi who were shocked about it, the other couples seemed to have been there multiple times.
"What is going on?" Ngozi whispers to Gboyega.
"I have no idea, let's just play along." He whispers back to her
Inside the shrine are different crearures from different realms, rooms for different purposes.
"I need to make him fall in love with me." A lady complains to a witch in one of the rooms.
In another room, the witches who faced Gboyega seek therapy from a wizard.
"That beam of light we saw, it was so traumatizing." One of the witches say as they all cry.
"And thats how you create your own creatures." Odi says to a group of students in another room as he teaches them the acts of magic.
In a chamber, a certain beast bangs the door wanting to escape. Abayo passes the chamber door and waves to the beast.
"Hi." Abayo waves to the beast, they've been friends for quite sometimes now, Abayo walks down a hallway and enters a office.
"Dad." Abayo says and bows down to greet Oloogun who was meditating.
