Okirika boys Ep6: The Cave
<p>On our way back from the barbershop we went straight to the cave. The cave was the hub for curated violence. It was were people fought not only for survival but for coin and glory. The floors were bathed in blood. The crazy part about the cave was that it had no age restrictions. Anyone could watch and anyone could fight. There was only one rule, beat your opponent to stupor. People used to joke that if you couldn't settle issues in a civil way then take it to the cave.</p><p>We watched a number of people go in and become one with their inner beasts. You think you're normal until the obstacle between you and your next meal is the man in front of you. Many men don fall 4 the cave but na only the righteous de comot. The ungodly falleth but the righteous falleth and riseth. I go lie for you.</p><p>The cave was also where Priest recruited some of his soldiers. We weren't surprised when we saw him walk in to watch. Our hearts were racing but we remained still. </p><p>The Crier in the Cave started praising the next fighter and people were going gaga. We were surprised because we thought we've seen it all. He said, brace yourself as I welcome the end of reason, the eclipse, bad weather.... STORM.... It was at that moment we knew she was the one! We stood in awe at this girl who looked unsuspecting but that wasn't even the crazy part. Onlike other fighters, Storm fought against 2 people.</p><p>They initially beat her up and we wondered why everyone was hailing her. Then she acted her name. She first started laughing, tasted the blood rushing from her forehead and then started hitting herself profusely. What manner of madness is this? Damn, she was beauty and the beast too. That question lingered in my head. In the midst of this our eyes locked and she winked at me. The next 2 minutes was a beautiful display of the ugly side of humans. Her opponents collect woto woto. She won but refused to take the spoils of victory. It made us wonder what she was fighting for.</p><p>Nana said exclaimed obobb this one pass nightmare o.</p><p><br/></p><p>As everyone departed the cave we tried to approach Storm. Omo na so she charge at us o. We sef no normal. She ran towards us as though to scare us but we just stood there watching her and smiling. As she got closer she paused. I believe she realized that she wasn't the only crazy person. We Introduced ourselves and we somehow got along. We were bound by our insanity. If you like go de normal 4 street.</p>
