Chapter 190 - Take Responsibility

"Nothing. Nothing happens. She would just be fine enough. The seal should be locking away all of her illness into a separate dimension." The Irunmole replied now.

It sounded like a good plan to the ears of Sunday and to the ears of Shino. Howbeit, Shino could not help but think about it again. For them to seal the illness away in the human body? 

He did not know how that was going to work being that humans were some sorts of fragile existences. Plus, they did not know how to cultivate Agbara. At least the most of them that he had seen so far. So then, how was the sealing going to take place in them? 

It was just like one was using a smoldering iron in an attempt to glue two pieces of paper together. No matter how fine the intent is, the combination was just not going to work. You could not do that, no matter how one tried. 

If it was forced, in the end, the smoldering iron would end up burning the paper to a cripsp, which would then be against the original idea of having it glued togtehr. 

Rather than doing that, a more applicable solution, at least to Shino, would be to use the paper glue to make things work. Rather than trying to use a smoldering iron which was meant to fix metals together. 

It was just a  thought but he could not shake it off. It would feel odd, he presumed. But then, Shino could not bring himself to say his mind right about now because at the moment, this looked like the only thing that Sunday was banking on. 

And unless he could come up with an even better plan, which he could not- the ones he came up with had failed so far-, then it would be best for him to just shut his mouth and seal off his ideas. Hoping that everything would work out just the way they wanted it to. 

However, even as those thoughts crisscrossed his mind, Aderonke, the Sage was also having the same similar thoughts. 

To her, it seemed like a far better option than for them to have to wait or rely on The Story Teller which she had no clue about his whereabouts. She did not even want to mention it anymore because right about now, it did not make sense when time was being considered on the mission Sunday was on. 

It would be better for them to try something else. But then again, when she meant something else, she did not find herself able to go with the flow of what Sunday was going to do. 

Like Shino, she reasoned about the compatibility of the whole thing. She knew she was gifted. Not many people like her could se spirits and even have the powers that these spirits had, even though hers were not really developed yet. But then she was special. 

A lot of the others were not special. In this light, it would make no sense for them to try out something that was meant for those with Agbara. She could not just place it, but the idea seemed all wrong to her. 

Sunday said, he had what could seal the illness away. She remembered how much her mum would chase her then for her to take her medications in the full and complete dosages. Even when she did not want to. Most times, after taking dosage one or two, she would say and complain that she was feeling alright. And then her mother would reply to that saying she was only postponing the inevitable. Unless the illness was dealt with in full, by the taking of the whole drug and medication, then the temporary relief she felt would only degenerate. 

And more often than not, it turned out to be true. 

How did cancer even come up in the human body? When cancer started to grow, if it was left unchecked it would then develop into some type of terminal illness which could not be cured. Or if cured, could b rather on the draining side. 

That she knew about cancer. The earlier one was able to detect it, the earlier it was able to get treated. but if it was left in the body, eventually, the cells would multiply, and then multiply so much that it would become disastrous. 

Was that not just the same thing in this case? If they sealed away some of the illness or all of the illness, would the illness not only bid its time and then multiply, taking on a more malignant form to wreck damage? 

What was even the guarantee that if one did have the sealing thingy on them, that it would hold? For all she knew, this person would be someone who was not capable of having the powers that she had. Otherwise, if this person did have them, then the person would have some sort of immunity to illness. 

She was a living proof of that. The power that flowed in her, was able to give her some type of high resistance to illness. And so, it would have to take a rather lot for an illness to knock her down. And when this did happen, her power would, slowly, revitalize her body until she was fit to go again

She knew this was not the case otherwise this person would not really need the healing of the Irunmole. In fact, by daybreak, the person would have come across some improvement in the body such that the mission of the Irunmole would not be lost then. 

but it was not so. So then, using something that was of energy on the form of this person, how was that even going to hold? What if it did hold and then one day, the whole seal of it came undone? And as a result, the person got knocked out by an even deadlier form of it? 

Or what if the illness was sealed in some part of the body. And then that part of the body began to degenerate till it was utterly useless, how was the objective of healing such a human then effective? Would that not result in failure too? 

She knew of b.r.e.a.s.t cancer. If this person was left to have some illness sealed in some part of the body, it was ultimately possible that that part of the body would fail. After all, was that not the reason why doctors often removed mammary glands once they wee infected so much by cancerous cells? What would be the need of this all if after this, the person would have to amputate a part of their body? 

Still, her sense of reasoning won over as she made to speak. Even though it did not make sense for her to speak when she could not provide a better solution, it did not make the least sense for them to do such a thing too.

"Well, i think that is settled then. Lets go before dawn already. We can make it in this less time left." Sunday said excitedly and then turned around. He paused, looking sideways to Shino without having to turn completely around to him. 

"What do you say? the deal is still on or what?" He said. 

Even though Shino had proved to be of less help to him now, he could not just part ways with him yet. the time was not now. 

Plus they did have a deal together. It would make less sense for him to just leave when the deal was binding on him. Also, he still did not know much about Earth, the one who did and was willing to stick around with him was Shino. He'd be a fool to let go of this advantage he had was going to have, if Shino stuck with him, in this strange territory called Earth. 

Shino gasped and then exhaled out. He took a step forward, running his hands through the thick bristled mass that made up the feathers on his head which could also pass out for the hair on his head, except that this was spiky and seemed to be somewhat sharp. 

Aderonke frowned, she had been beat to it. She was going to speak now, but then the enthusiasm that Sunday had spoken with, she did not want to be the one who would bring that to a sour end. 

So, even if she felt it was all wrong, she did not want to speak then. Still, she knew she had to speak. She needed to let him know what was going to happen if he went on with what he was planning, even if it was just a hunch. 

At least, he needed to be aware that the human body was not of the same biology of his. And if he would do such a thing, then he had to take responsibility for it.

"Stop!" She called out. "The human body is not the same as you two. It might not work the way you expect it to. So, in the case that it fails, you should know that whatever happens next... Is on you! So, take responsibility for this gamble of yours." She spurted out and then turned around immediately, running to the gate of her residence.
