Shango And His Battleaxe, Oshe - Season 1 - Episode 5

“What if you’re lying I fired back, what if this axe is not as powerful as you said it is and I ended up in the daemon god’s cook pot for my trouble.

Shokoti managed to look offended.

“Howu! An Orisha wouldn’t lie to you and I wouldn’t get his essence for my trouble if he slays you.’’

“Lanroye lies all the time and you would still get paid with my life,” I smirked.

“I so swear by Eledunmare the creator of all things the weapon is true,’’ Shokoti answered not amused this time around.

“Well here’s my bargain old man I growled, I’ll take the axe, if I spill the blood of Elegbara with it my life stays mine, and if I slay him for his useless essence, Oshe is mine forever.’’

“Ashe, It is sealed!!! The ground rumbled as he said this, his annoying smile back on his face, he handed Oshe over to me and I held it aloft to inspect. I felt its glee race through my core, it was happy it had found me; it was made for me and me for it.

“Together we shall slay a god and achieve greatness you and I,’’ I whispered, it hummed back in appreciation and I smiled.

I turned to address Shokoti but the elder god was nowhere to be found. Strapping Oshe to my back, I moved on through the dark forest; for I have a god to hunt.
