Synopsis

A white missionary, Father Jones, in his priestly journey from the neighbouring Ụkwa village, advances his cause further, into Amaokwe, a land comfortable in the traditional ways of worship. Jones and one of his earliest converts, Brother Peter, take their audacious Christian teachings to the unbelieving villagers, declaring that only those who embrace the new faith and renounce the old ways would be saved. Their evangelistic efforts meet stiff opposition from staunch adherents of the traditional religion. The ensuing religio-cultural impasse throws the people of Amaokwe into a dilemma: to continue with the worship of their ancestors and the gods or to serve the Christian god? Ụwakwe, like a few others in Amaokwe, becomes a nominal Christian. He suddenly grows circumspect of the new faith and lives, afterwards, in godlessness to the strong disapproval of his unbelieving friend, Ibeku, and to the disgust of his Christian wife, Ugomma. Undeterred by the hate for him and the bickering between his converts and the rest of the villagers, Jones plants a new mission in Amaokwe and his activities gather momentum to the chagrin of the unbelieving townsfolk. As the conundrum persists, a plague befalls Amaokwe. The powers of the gods are impatiently tested as the roles and influence of divinity in the affairs of the village are impetuously questioned. During the plague, the land of Amaokwe witnesses a time when pagans and Christians speak with one voice and look up to one of their own as their saviour.

His name

[December 26, 9:46pm] A young silver haired boy found himself laying on a thick layer of snow in the middle of the forest. Snowflakes kept falling down from the sky and some gently landed on his white, tender skin. A couple of ice spikes suddenly fell from a tree and nearly landed on him but strangely, the ice spikes broke into pieces and didn't land on his skin. This young boy opened his eyes and revealed his golden, amber eyes which looked extremely attractive but for unknown reason, his eyes were cold and it didn't reveal a single emotion other than emptiness. He stared at the dark sky.. It was cold but he didn't feel anything which is odd. He's only wearing a white shirt.. a white shirt that is almost covered with blood, black pants and long brown boots. 'How did I end up in this place?' 'Where am I?' '...' 'Who..' 'Who am I?' Questions started filling up is mind but he didn't move from his spot. He stayed there until the sun slowly rose. A pack of hungry wolves was nearby and followed the scent of fresh blood... the blood on his clothes. These wolves were out searching for their food last night but due to the weather and extreme cold, they couldn't find any. But when the sun rose and snowflakes finally stopped from falling, they were able to trace the scent of blood. And it led them to where the young boy is. When they saw the boy laying down on the snow immobile like it was some kind of comy bed, they didn't hesitate and took the chance to pounce on him.. But they immediately wished they didn't do that.. Just a second have passed after they decided to pounce on him, but their heads were already cut off by an unknown force! It was so fast that none of them felt or even heard anything. 'So noisy' The boy was woken up by the wolves but not a single hint of irritation can be seen on his face. This time, he finally decided to stand up and move away. His height is about 6'2 and his whole figure is almost perfect. 'What am I gonna do?' He asked himself Ever since he found himself in this dense forest, he just kept thinking why is he there? It's winter so he should be in his home with his family right? He kept asking himself but he got no answer.. He tried remembering but it didn't work. Why can't he remember a single thing? Who is he? or rather, what is he?
