GLORIA AND FUNKE continued living in
that village, it was a rainy morning,
Funke felt ill and was vomiting, her eyes
turned white and wasn’t alright. The old
woman continued staring at her and later
called her to tell her she was pregnant.
She was surprised, her friend was also
afraid and surprised that she was
pregnant.
She was encouraged by the old woman,
not quite far from then, some men
arrived from the King of that village to
tell the old man woman she has some
visitors in her house. The King requested
her to follow those man to come and
explain herself. She was rough-handled
and wasn’t considered as an old woman.
They got to the King where they met him
and the priest seated discussing about
the bad things be falling the village.
The old woman was told to kneel before
them and started explaining herself. “The
whole village has turned upside down,
things aren’t going the way they should.
The oracle said their are some strangers
in this village, received by you.” The
priest explained.
‘Yes, it true but they aren’t the one
causing all this..’
‘Shut up! The King shouted. “You know
the price for this that you’ve done, they’ll
be thrown into the evil forest!” He
exclaimed.
‘No, my King. Don’t do this..’ The woman
begged.
‘I’ve done this and I’m not your King.’ He
addressed her.
It was in the evening after several
beating and maltreatment, the two
friends were banished from the village.
