The Shante League vol. 1 contd. ******************* At the Nsuka High, the rain pours down so heavy and the lightening flashes becomes so consistent. There in the rain, under wooden shade-canopy were six children of ages 15 to 17 and this was their only shelter inorder to avoid the tenacity of the rain. Their sweaters were on, so the cold had little effect on them. "This rain is really nut. I don't believe these crap." one of the student with three tribal marks on both cheeks says (Ukpongon). The others were about to comment when suddenly a bright light cuts across the horizon. It was falling from outer space and it seemed to have no projection, like that of a shooting star (comet). "What's that?" one of the two girls present with a curly-whorly birth mark on the forehead asks in surprise (Ngozi Okoro). And BANG! goes the comet on the ground. Its fall rocked the whole school ground and the trees it met by the forest close to the school gave way on its fall. "That is not a lightening at all." another boy with a clear skin cut that suits him comments with his state of mind still intact (Rukewe Akporowe). "Let's go find out what it is" said the second girl with a six-petal flower on her hair, pratically, the right part (Nekpen Idedia). "That's sucide gee, and besides we don't know what that thing is..." Rukewe argues. "We are not going. We won't enter the rain for that...that-" another boy with a face cap (James Akintola). But before he could complete his comment, the three have bumped off into the rain (Nekpen, Akande and Ngozi) in that order. "I'm off too" says Akande. "Hey wait up!" calls Ngozi. Both of them joining Nekpen in the rain who runs towards the fall outside the school. On getting to the spot, the three are surprised at what their eyes are seeing. "Whoa!" exclaimed Nekpen, "Cool!" exclaims Akande, and Ngozi does not react with words or muttering, but stares as the drop of rain that settled on her fine skin ruples down. * * * * * * * * * Behold a giant crater with a hemispherical arrow head shaped whatever, the size of a truck. Surprisingly, the know-much sister who unknowingly had strange markings of 'S' on her cheeks and head, says "It's a spaceship! A spaceship from Migör." "How do you know?" Nekpen asks. "Huh?!" mutters Akande who always was very confused and never tries to think. The lying spaceship lay with several markings or inscriptions on it. "Common sense. It fell from space" Ngozi replies still bearing the mark. Nekpen was not so dull and even knew what it was before venturing into the rain. "How do you know the name of the planet?" she asks not still noticing the change on Ngozi's face. "GASPS!! Huh?! What did you say?" Ngozi gasps and mutters as the marks immediately leaves her face. "Wierd! Gee!" Akande thought. Ngozi was panting slowly and feeling exhausted as the many drop that pearched on her fbce rupled down. "Are you alright, sis?" Nekpen asks out of care. "I'm okay gee." she replies placing her forefinger and the first in a gun-point way on he birth mark. "Wierd!" "Are you sure, sis?" Nekpen becomes persistent. "I'm fine let's get out of here, Now!" she yells. "What is it?" Nekpen asks still not moving. "Wierd!" Akande mutters. He's so fond of it and some others. They could not read much meaning to what she wanted to say especially with the rain. "Let's get the hell out of here before... Aw!" she tries to explain but her head ached heavilz instead. What was it that she wanted to say? Oops! I get it, the ship! It immediately starts to hiss smoke that coveree the entire ship and HATCH! the sound that comes from the ship. The smoke begins to die down gradually after the sound and the three gradually see what emerged out of the ship. They were surprised at this and "WHAT?!" they muttered in surprise. "Wierd! Ginks_" mutters Akande. And gradually it surprises the girls. Finally, the smoke dies down and a young handsome guy with a head band which bears a symbol that signifies whatever. His clothing was so good that I'd say he had a good tailor. Especilly with the armory and gadgets. *the end* Watch out for Vol. 2 come 23rd of May, 2012. Kapish. Love y'all.
