Xoul Chronicles, Book 1: Revelations.

Chapter 2: Zemon and Slanta

"Where i de??'  Zemon woke up again this time with his hands and legs tied. 

He noticed several others tied same way too lying on the ground he noticed the surrounding he was, in a forest not too far from a water side.

Esss!!  Aboi don wake up....  A voice said coming from the dark he couldn't see the face.

He heard  footsteps coming closer until he finally saw the person's face, It was a man who looked like he was close to his 30s wearing a red hooded cloth with blue stripes at the torso and a blue trouser and boots to match.  He was one of them. The Yenagoa bludz had captured Zemon.

But wetin dem need me for na??...
Zemon thought in his head.

He heard other footsteps in the background too as other people he assumed to be among the frather came out then he heard one shout " Make way for Lord Slanta the lightning beast".

He recognized the name Slanta the infamous leader of the Yenagoa bludz. He had a bounty on his head of 500'000 Dollar the biggest any Xoul criminal from Yenagoa had ever gotten, well according to Zemon's Knowledge.

"Komot bodi O!! Slanta rugged O!! (Make way.)  They all roared. 
"Silence!!" Someone said advancing, urging the rest to keep calm.

He wore a large hooded cloth covering half his face except excluding his mouth, it had his entire body hidden.

Black and blue the Yenagoa bludz. 

This must be Slanta..Zemon thought.

Slanta progressed to where Zemon and the other captives were, circling around them and then stopped and said " Let the initiation begin... Give me a sit!!! " 

One of the Gang members made a gesture with his hands and the ground rose up,  a seat made of earth emerged. 

And Slanta took his seat.  The same member that made the seat used his majik to move the seat with Slanta in it to higher ground with two other members guarding him.

"Take of their Clothes." Zlanta roared. Before Zemon knew it he's clothes had been torn off with so much velocity, remaining just his shorts.

He noticed the hands tearing of his clothes slowing down he looked up and saw surprise with a mix of fear plastered on the faces of the Gang members. 

He wondered why and then he remembered, Bene-keme's Curse marks. 

"Wait." Slanta Said. "Are my eyes deceiving me??.... Are those not the legendary Benekeme's curse marks? ...

Keke bring that boy over here don't hurt him" He said commanding a member whose name was Keke.

Keke walked down Zemon's path looking him straight in the eye.

"Aboy Jass up... Slanta de call yu"...( Boy stand up!  Slanta's calling you.)

Zemon acted as if he didn't hear a word uttered by the member who looked as if he was in his 20s, while Keke untied Zemon's legs and then held him by the arm,   Zemon proved reluctant forcing Keke to yank his arm forceful making him scream in pain. 

Like lightning in fact it was lightning, a bolt seemingly out from no where crashed down on Keke's body and like that the boy lay on the ground blackened, burnt,  and lifeless with volts still running through him. 

Surprise and a bit of fear  danced through the entire crowd

"Simple instruction don't hurt him....Yu no fit keep." Slanta said,  now with his hood off revealing his bald black head with tattoos of lightning running from down his face to his body.  His eyes were small and red his lips were big and black, he had a pointed nose.
