The Guardian gods-Chapter 58 Family

" This is truly unique, You guys have been full of surprise since we met you" Aqua said as he looked at the elder with an appreciative gaze. Brix nodded to show his agreement.

" Hahaha, Such humbling word's is appreciated my friend" the elder gorilla laughed with pride in his voice.

Bara hearing the praises from the treants, stretched out a root into the pool of juice and started absorbing, it drank for a while before regathering itself into a small stickman figure as he sat on Ikem's shoulder.

The elder watched all this before complimenting Ikem " You are also full of surprises young highness" " This is Bara, he has been with us from the beginning of our journey and a gift from my father" Ikem answered the elder.

The elder nodded while pointing at the two treant " I am guess they are from your father too" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Indeed, they go by the name Brix and Aqua" Ikem nodded while gesturing from the elder to know who he meant.

" If you had had enough to drink, we should go ahead and address the people waiting outside as they will be yours to lead from now on" The elder said to Ikem and the treant before walking back out from the cave.

Ikem halted his motion of drinking when he heard the elder's word, dropping the stone bowl he was holding Ikem ran to the elder " You don't plan on leaving everything right now to me, are you?"

" Indeed, that is what i plan to do your highness" The elder responded while still walking.

" I am not familiar with them, I believe I will need your guidance for them to accept me" Ikem asked nervously.

The elder stopped a bit to look at Ikem before saying " Your highness, I have to inform you that you have not to prove to anyone out there as they already have accepted you as the leader, as for getting to know them, that is exactly what we are leaving this cave to do"

The elder continued his walk while Ikem followed in silence, all of a sudden the elder broke the silence " You don't have to get to know everyone but this a few people you have to at least know about as they are vital for our people"

" The first is called red for now, as we have not been able to name ourselves, she was the red primate that picked me up, when we first met. She acts as the guardian and the protector of this settlement taking right after her father who died protecting us, as you may have noticed she is tune with fire and uses it well to protect us"

" The second one will be my son, he is the eye and informant of this settlement. He is the one with the spear you met outside, he inherits my ability to use earth elements so he is very durable and able to relay a message to everyone, if something that possesses a danger comes into our territory. He has a lot of primates under him who acts as an eye from different position in the forest, one of his men was the one to inform us once my son saw you guys" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

" The third one is related to, as she is your mom's sister. After your father took your mother, her sister took over in guiding our people, wasn't as good as your mother but she learnt a lot from your mother as they were very close, she was one who came up with the ideas for the fruit juice, not only that she was able to gather herbs useful for healing the hurt ones"

" The last one is the hunter, He is strong, unbelievably strong. He has not shown any outrageous ability like fire, water and all that but his skin glows with an earth yellow which boost his strength tremendously, he was the one that made most holes you see the primates are living on. We as primates have no need to hunt for meat as we can only do with plants and fruits, but your father introduced meat to us, cooked one's delicious if cooked the right way. The hunter a strong admirer of your father took it up himself to become a hunter and supply meat to us, he also has other primate under him who follows him to hunt"

" These are the ones you need to know for now, but some other like the ones with ability for water, plants, fire, even the invisible wind are also good to know, can be turned into a good fighter when needed" The elder said as they reached the cave entrance.

Hearing the elder talk about magical abilities made Ikem remember one of the most important thing his father wrote on the journal, quickly grabbing hold of the elder shoulders, Ikem addressed seriously " I need to ask a favor of you elder"

The elder heard Ikem serious tone before saying " Ask me of anything your highness"

Ikem nodded before saying " I need you to gather females who have shown the ability for earth, wind, fire and water. The other's who have shown weird talents can also be gathered but these four should be the main focus"

The elder was stumped by Ikem's weird request. Ikem saw the elder look but he was still innocent even though he knew what he was to do, so he looked innocently at the elder before asking " What?"

The elder shook his head amused before responding " I will get right to it your highness"

Ikem and the elder walked outside the cave to see that a lot of primates was already gathered around, there were fruit's of different colors everywhere, Primates of burly sizes can be seen pulling the corpse of animals that have been hunter and leaving it over to the female primate who were by a huge bonfire, reading the meat and getting it ready to be eaten, the smell of cooked meat wafted all over the air.

Ikem was about to ask the elder what was happy when sudden he was talked by a hug, Ikem did nothing as he felt the warmth of the hug, gently pulling away who was hugging him, a smell of plant's and herb hit Ikem all over his face as he connected the Dot to who was hugging him.

" Aunty?" Ikem asked as he separated from the hug, Ikem got a closer look at the female primate and he immediately saw a resemblance with the statue adorned with flower in his father realm, tears unknowingly fell from his eyes.

" I am sorry it took this long for me to see you son, I was stuck with a sick primate that needed my help" Ikem heard the female primate speak as she rubbed her hand all over his face, " You really bear a resemblance with my sister, you both have such beautiful eyes"

Words left Ikem's mouth before he knew it " I look like my mom?".

" Hahaha, Indeed you do boy, it seems you didn't know much about your mother" The female primate asked.

Ikem nodded before he hard the angry voice of the female primate admonishing his father " What the hell was your father doing anyway" This left Ikem flabbergasted as a chuckle left his mouth as he nodded " Indeed what has he been doing"

" Come with me son, I have a lot to tell you about your mother" The female primate took Ike's hand ready to pull him away when she was halted by a stitch in front of her.

" What is this stick for husband" the female primate asked the elder.

" Husband?" Ikem asked out loud, to which the elder nodded. "I forgot to mention that but she indeed is my Wife"

The feisty primate who still haven't gotten her answer asked one more time " Why are you blocking my way and time to spend with my sister's son"

The elder sighing took back the stick and said " I am not blocking your way but he still has something he needs to do and some people to address" The elder said while gesturing with his head at the primate's looking over at them.

The female primate huffed before letting Ikem go but not after requesting " Make sure you pay me a visit later son" she said as he walked away but not before glaring at the elder.

Ikem unknowingly let go of a breath he didn't know he was holding " Please tell me my mother didn't have the same character as her"

The elder quickly shook his head " No, your mother was totally different which was why I wanted her but your father got to her first, leaving me with the feisty one"

The elder looked over to Ikem, while shaking his head " I don't know why you want me to gather all this women but i will be praying for your safety son"

The elder walked away while muttering " It seems I have to prepare for a caretaker for his highness before mu time comes, it seems like waking up to a diarrhea will be a routine for him for a while with all this women he is planning on taking"
