Babida the lumberjack and the beautiful Suzie's marriage was planned to be held after the moon had appeared three times over the sky.
Two moons had already occurred and only one was remaining before the two lovebirds could tie the knot forever in the peaceful and quiet village of Okunde since Babida the lumberjack along with his men in uniform decimated the terrifying bats and the newborn Monster of the forbidden mountain.
However, Edimo, the god of ruin had not said his last word yet.
The bad divinity had lost his two most devastating creatures and was sick, for his plan to take over the Batang empire was hence delayed or even worse destroyed.
But Edimo had more than a trick in his bag of evilness. There was a devilish project that he had been working on all this while and the time had finally come for him to test the might of its new creature: the walking tornado. A calamity endowed with wisdom, power, and invincibility.
A new monster in a way that the universe had never witnessed before.
It was now for the first time into action, on full display in the god of ruin's favorite playground, namely, the Okunde village.
Babida the lumberjack witnessed the walking tornado chasing defenseless civilians and badly equipped imperial soldiers who consequently were being slaughtered and sent to the air like they were leaves.
"What is this again?" asked the baffled Governor Babida as he stood in the yard holding tight a pole so he would not fly as well, for the walking tornado was sending a powerful wind toward the running and screaming men and women.
"Your Highness!" suddenly shouted a male voice.
Babida turned to look at where it was coming from but he couldn't see the author of the shout.
"Your Highness! Over here!" yelled the man even more powerfully.
Finally, the lumberjack located the origin of the voice and spotted from a distance the henchman Polo who was waving at him and asking him to come to him.
Babida the lumberjack along with the imperial sentinel who came to warn him of the danger while he was sleeping began to race as fast as they could toward the position of the aide-de-camp Polo.
Unfortunately, as they were doing so, the imperial sentinel knocked over a stone and fell on the ground.
Babida turned to help him out but the walking tornado which had remarked on the two men running to the other end of the yard, had now shifted its focus on them.
It was coming at a rapid pace and with the panic, the lumberjack had trouble carrying him.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
However, it was out of the question for the woodsman to lose once again under his watch a comrade.
And the imperial sentinel was so young that he reminded Babida of the young lad Bodo who was killed by the newborn Monster during their scout mission in the forbidden mountain.
So like he had suddenly found extra force, the lumberjack snatched the youngster from the ground and ran away with him under the pressure of the walking tornado.
They then disappeared in the bushes with the henchman Polo who was impatiently waiting for them.
In the middle of the night, Governor Babida carried the wounded imperial sentinel and guided by the henchman Polo, they reached a hideout.
They were now far away from the walking tornado, the new devilish creature of Edimo, the god of ruin.
The center of Okunde village was in turmoil. Many inhabitants were killed and the survivors tried to escape from the calamity and find a sanctuary.
"Your Highness, you may wait over here!" suddenly suggested the aide-de-camp Polo who then marched alone toward a big stone.
He looked around to check whether there was any suspicious movement and saw nothing.
So, he took out from the right pocket of his silk trousers a bottle containing an undefined potion that he drank before pushing with all his strength the gigantic stone that was blocking the entrance of a cave.
And as he was shifting the rock on the side, the light of a petrol lamp powerfully lit the way.
He then made a sign to the lumberjack to come forward with the injured imperial guard.
Governor Babida carried the youngster and entered the cave. And as soon as they had crossed the entrance, the big stone came back alone to its initial position and barricaded the passage.
The henchman Polo went ahead and Governor Babida marched behind him as he spent a tremendous amount of energy carrying the massive body of the youngster.
Soon they reached a spacious place that marveled the new Governor of Okunde, for there were thousands of refugees who had fled the village and come over there to protect their lives.
The woodsman's amazement increased, even more, when he saw how well-furnished the shelter was. So he exclaimed: "How in the world is this possible?"
"An idea of late Governor Kola Il, Your Highness" replied the henchman Polo.
"In fact, it was my idea. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore" added Polo the cunning.
Governor Kola Il had learned from the divinities that Edimo, the god of ruin, was preparing a new creature even more demonic than the newborn Monster of the forbidden mountain.
He sought the advice of the experienced aide-de-camp Polo and together they set a plan that they managed to not disclose till the last minute.
They had thought about building a magical cave filled with food, beverage, medical material, mattresses, restrooms, and an amusement area for the kids, where people could stay during an attack or war.
Governor Babida hence understood the incomplete top-secret case that he found on his desk when he began his new duties.
He then sighed as he was relieved and pleased with the good deeds of his predecessor.
Thanks to late Governor Kola 2's foresight, many inhabitants of Okunde village saved their life and found refuge in the magical cave, a well-constructed sanctuary with all survival necessities.
"Babida!" suddenly shouted a female voice.
The lumberjack who was contemplating the eye-catching architecture of the main compartment of the cave took a break to look in front of him.
He saw the young maiden Suzie running to where he was in a panic.
A powerful emotion instantly took hold of him as his bride Suzie narrowed the distance between them.
For the path seemed to be interminable, the groom Babida commenced to race as well toward her and met his wife to be in the middle of the main compartment of the underground.
The two lovebirds passionately enlaced and the magic moment lasted for quite a while.
Governor Babida's eyes were filled with tears but he fought to retain the salty liquid in the orbit as he hugged tighter the love of his life.
As for the young bride Suzie, she completely abandoned herself into the massive body of the logger and sobbed profusely, wetting hence the chest of Babida with her hot and big tears.
The occupants of the shelter recognized the Governor of Okunde village and immediately surrounded him.
Noticing the crowd that was growing around him, the lumberjack interrupted his enlacement with the young bride Suzie and turned his focus to the refugees.
"Your Highness, save us and our children!" exclaimed a woman with a worried air, holding a small boy with her left hand.
"Your Highness, we have never seen a monster with a power of such magnitude." declared an imperial warrior, very depressed.
The woodsman looked at them and replied: "Shall the ancestors be with us!"
"Be assured that we will do everything to protect you and your loved ones. You may now go back and resume whatever you were doing." He added as he took the left hand of the young maiden Suzie and they walked up to the left corner of the main compartment of the underground.
They occupied a small space and sat on one of the mattresses then began a silent meditation.
They implored the ancestors to preserve them from the deadly wrath of the walking tornado which was outside in the main arteries of the village destroying everything and killing the inhabitants and their domestic animals.
