In the state of being wilted, they caught their heavy breaths, real fast. Grunting with effort, their bones and muscles, were still weak and their blood flow, went sour due to what the dwarf leader, Banjoko had just done. Asa rubbed her hand through her arm and picked up Delaja's wooden bow, that dropped beside her.
Prince Awade wiped off his head with his hands, hoping to wake from this nightmare. From battle to this, was like from frying pan to fire. He badly needed to sleep, but he couldn't even get a wince. However, he had shiny black hair with highlights of gray, which made his charming look a little more mature. His body felt numb and exhausted when he turned to Banjoko. A veil of darkness and invisible doodlings, that covered his vision cleared up in the split of seconds.
It took a while for them to adjust to the effect of the golden twin eggs being together. That was when they realized that everything was back to normal, again.
"Giant has giant's blood. Dwarf has dwarf's blood. Both giants and dwarfs as supernatural beings have supernatural powers. Same as these Ninki Nanka. We are stronger than each other, but I don't think four giants can face or conquer an army of beasts. Especially ones like these." Banjoko muttered in ancient Yoruba.
"He said, Giant has giant's blood. Dwarf has dwarf's blood. Both giants and dwarfs as supernatural beings have supernatural powers. Same as these Ninki Nanka. We are stronger than each other but I don't think four giants can face or conquer an army of beasts. Especially ones like these." Sanmi conviencely translated to others.
"But not like the Ninki Nanka. It repels most spells. Unlike giants and dwarfs, no witch or wizard can ever cast a spell on it. They're stronger than you think and with the twin golden eggs, in their possession, we're as good as dead."

"An hour after the scratch, humans turn to Fanpayas."
"What's that?"
"Another blood-sucking creature that flies. But if you get scratched or bitten, it's either you become one of them or you also die without a cure."
"What?" Sanmi exclaimed with shock.
"W...what did he say?" Shade moved closer, interested.
"He said others would wake as another evil creature."
"Wow! Does that mean our prince would come back to us, again?" Asa raised an eyebrow.
"No... You're getting me wrong, here." Sanmi corrected. "I said, those scratches would come back as evil creatures. If you get scratched or bitten, it's either you die or become one of them–Fanpayas."
"They would wipe everything, body and soul. Our wills would no longer be our own. To kill this creature would bring death to us all." Banjoko added.
A drop of sweat lingered down from Asa's forehead while staring into the blazing fire before her. "Death..."
