Princess Ayanna, you can, even do much more than that, be confident I will try and put you through, thanks fully you have this abilities it will help you in knowing who to and who not to trust orassociate with, conceal your powers as much as you can in order to unveil the enemies lurking in the shadows.

Today a whole lot of people have come from far and near to see you and pay their respect to the great Queen's incarnate which is you...

Somewhere in the district of Aro there was a warrior rushing to go and relay what he had witnessed, Going into the district head's place he spoke to the guy standing guard at one of the fortress, knocking three times he was motioned in.

Greetings master, the warrior greeted placing his hands across his chest to pay obeisance.

Zumu I hear you have an interesting report for me?

Yes master his majesty's grand daughter the foreign Princess just woke up a purple sky, and all the other villages and districts are heading there with music,dancing and gifts of all kinds, I wanted to ask if we can test her or maybe its one of their tricks?

Hmmm! the Obaseki's are even pulling more weight than what we can contend with, just make sure you make her pass through one of our test without letting them know its us understand, make sure to use a random person, you know exactly what to do now go. Tigobo will prepare gifts while I change up and head over there too we don't want that king bad mouthing us again.

The father of Ayanna calmed her down and took her to his father the king and other elders and chief's who were already seated in the throne room.

While walking in, in all her beauty a fair Princessas stunning as the bright sun her hair flowing to the back the frills held in place by the beaded tiara of gold on her head, there were also lots of beads on her waist and a golden slipper on her feet's, angle, arm and wrist beads she was absolutely gorgeous.

Wow! isthis beauty my grand daughter? the king asked, she walked up to the throne and knelt down on one feet bowing her head. The king was impressed he asked her to stand and take a sit, we will get the chance to chat but right now you are the centre of attention and everyone has come from far and wide of Benin kingdom and its environ to see and welcome you, we will be moving the throne to out in the open in a while.

The guards and menservants grandly secured the outer throne room and the king was informed that all was ready, then the announcer announced the entrance of the royal family and the chiefs as the walked in two files with the king and his Queen right in front of the procession the came in and once the king sat down allowing others to sit one after the other.

So many crowd father, yes? and some are even chanting, meditating in this noise? Ayanna observed.

Well you see this purple sky is not a common occurrence at all, and it has various qualities and benefits to mankind, some will break through to the next level because the purple essence is rich in Qi If you look around you the celebrations is not only about you but about the things that are happening because of your purple sky, some people are getting healed. Ayanna dear be care full some here are not happy with the royal families power that just massively increased, enemies or friends? it is not written on their faces. Make sure you call me or Hauwa if you need anything or want clarification with something.

People from all other clans came in their numbers to pay obeisance and leave gifts for the Princess and she was forced to place a smile on her face for everyone, many were Genuinely there to appreciate the fact that the Princess is a wake not only that but awake with a purple sky, what she can do is numerous and the prophecy says that the incarnate of queen Idia will bring two estranged kingdoms together, especially the kingdom in the west, what this means is she will forestall peace between them and their long time rivals in the west.

To say that Princess Ayanna was overwhelmed was an understatement, she finally woke up from that ghastly accident in her fathers land but the problem was they were all strange to her only her father who she use to see only on photos now in flesh tried to make her stay as comfortable as possible.

Indeed she had a lot to learn from the vibrant people and culture she had to sit here and mask her wobbly legs andtiredness in other to appreciate this people young and old who have turned out here today. These people amongst whom she can sense pure happiness and others she can clearly discern their cunning and sly smiles, she knew some were already planning something sinister for her and she hoped that she can give them a good show.
