The curse of return
<h1>*šŸ“– Season 2</h1><h1>Episode 1:</h1><h3>Ā "The Curse of Return"*</h3><p><br/></p><p>Success sat alone in his room, staring at the mark on his palm. The night was heavy, the air dense with a feeling he couldn’t name. Weeks had passed since the Zara incident, but the mark hadn’t faded. In fact, it was growing darker.</p><p><br/></p><p>A knock on the door.</p><p><br/></p><p>It creaked open. Denniem stepped in.</p><p><br/></p><p>ā€œYou’re not sleeping again,ā€ he said.</p><p><br/></p><p>Success sighed. ā€œI hear voices… in my dreams. Sometimes I wake up… and I’m not alone.ā€</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem glanced at the candle flickering beside the bed. Shadows danced unnaturally.</p><p><br/></p><p>ā€œYou need to come with me,ā€ Denniem said. ā€œWe’re meeting the priest tonight.ā€</p><p><br/></p><p>—</p><p><br/></p><p>Across town, Aisha sat with Amaka. Zara was there too, unusually quiet. She hadn’t spoken much since the possession. But tonight, she looked up.</p><p><br/></p><p>ā€œI had a dream,ā€ she said suddenly. ā€œAbout a gate. Red… covered in eyes. And someone was calling your name, Aisha. It wasn’t human.ā€</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha felt her spine go cold.</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, Kunle walked into a shrine deep in the forest with a native priest. They had found an old book buried beneath the cursed house—a book bound in skin.</p><p><br/></p><p>ā€œThis thing,ā€ the priest said, pointing to it, ā€œis not of this world.ā€</p><p><br/></p><p>Lightning cracked outside. Thunder roared.</p><p>Back in the room, Success touched the mark again. It burned. His eyes went black for a moment.Ā Ā </p><p><br/></p><p>Then… he smiled.</p><p><br/></p><p>But not his smile.</p><p><br/></p><p>*To be continued…*</p>
