Chapter 351

Why should Tufa have to feel so much pain and anguish because of a child that is not his own. I kept taking deep breath trying to calm myself down. I could not allow my emotions to take over me now, as this is certainly not the best time. I had to make sure that my head remains clear through it all. I tood some deep breath, but a yelp of pain drew my attention back to them, Donua was forcefully dragging the woman away from where Tufa was. After a while of dragging with him, she was finally able to set her hands Free. He looked at her with spite in his eyes but she glared back at him angrily,

No one would want the wrath of the ancestors to fall upon them, as it is never a pleasing sight. My Mama told me stories when I was little, as to the last time our people experienced the wrath, I was not conceived then and she was still in her youth.

I can still remember the terror in her eyes as she retold the story, I too was scared then because I have a very vivid memory and I could picture her words as she said it. The people had refused to listen to the then shaman of our clan when he told them to offer sacrifices to appease the ancestors, they paid dearly for their action then and I am sure no one would want such
