Shango And His Battleaxe, Oshe - Season 1 - Episode 9

Oshe was true for it bit the trapped god, his bellow of surprise rather than pain shook the forest floor, for the first time in thousand of years, Elegbara felt pain, in a burst of divine strength; he showed me why he was Orisha for the black flame from his single horn became an inferno as I raced for cover.

Peeking out from behind the boulder from which I took cover, I beheld the entire grotto of creepers and hanging vines in a blackened ruin.
Amidst the smoking stumps that was his temporal prison, Elegbara stood glowing with black power, watched me and my weapon with wary interest.

“Son of Oranmiyan, from whence did you acquire a weapon such as this? Surely an Orisha is behind this, what were you promised? Which coward god sends a mortal to do his dirty work.’’

“Little wonder Ogun lord of Ire withdrew from your duel, I fired back, for you bored the fight out of him with your senseless talk and aimless banter, are we going to fight or rant like market women, you concern yourself with the wrong sort, for you should be concerned about your safety because Shango of Oyo will walk away from here with your head, in payment for his friends whom you sent to the beyond with their works incomplete.’’

Giving him little time to react, I charged him and the forest rang with the clash of our weapons.
