You are the most powerful priest in all of the land,yet you watch him talk to you like that' Folashade teases her husband as he enters the room
''My darling wife, it is in our culture to respect the king, i would never misuse my gift''.
Alabi says as he sits on a worn ancient couch within the mud-walled hut, his elbows rested on his thighs and eyes cast downward.
folashade rushed to his side with corncern etched on her face
''Alabi What did you tell him''
'No,i told him no,what else could i have said'
Her eyes widened
"But Alabi he is the prince,next in line to the throne.What if he dies?He is just a child!"
'STOP!!!"he screams,then continues with sweat beaded on his forehead
''i always have to make hard decisions,just because of this...this gift,folashade, i am tired ,i just want to be normal but instead i have to carry this burden, all i ask of you,all i have ever asked of you is to support me"
Her expression softens.
"I follow the god's will for balance',Alabi continues ''i know he is our nephew,but i cannot heal him''.
Tears welled in Alabi's eyes as he pulled Folashade into a tight hug.
