Chapter six

<p>Who are you? I asked again<br/>I am Ike but everyone calls me IK,I am not from here but a neighboring town where I come for visit and other market sales.<br/>But who are you because I never saw you before.<br/>Sorry I am Amanda nze and I'm here to shoot for a documentary on this amazing place so I need to know more since you came from close by ,I know you can share one or two things,he looked at me with hesitation but then finally spoke,i am not supposed to say this but you seem like a good person, you should not be lurking in a lions den because it always ends in death and this town is not somewhere to come and then decide to leave one day,they will not leave you,you ate and drank from them so I guess you are staying forever.<br/>I'm sorry but I can't continue to tell you all,my life might be in danger and I can't die for you young woman but I advise that you always stay alert and ready to run,the last of your kind never made it back and no one knows where they went,the igwe(king) declared them gone, no one asked about it again but the people in our town thinks he gave them as sacrifice to the devil,that's all I can say and please keep this yourself and be careful.<br/>I thanked him and he left,I started to think about everything he said but how can I trust a stranger,what if he is lying just to scare me away but the rules surrounding this place is ridiculous,why stop us from coming out at night or ask questions about weird happenings,he has a point but I can't let them know I suspect them,it won't be good for me or my people, how do I know about the previous ones that came here and why did he hide it from us <br/>I must surely find out what happened </p>

I hope you enjoy my African folktale and looking forward to your comments
