Epic 12“You should go back to sleep, it was only a dream”. Mr. Ken mumbled after a few minutes.“You are awake?”. I whispered but he ignored me“I saw him again”. I whispered, frightened.“You should sleep, it was only an imagination”. He said while gently covering himself after folding his legs and arms.“I am scared”. I whispered as tears rolled down my eyes.“Maybe you are ready”. He whispered as he turned to face me.“Ready for what?” I said in my terrified tone.“You will follow me to my training ground tomorrow, you should sleep now, it is going to be a very hectic day for you. You shouldn't let the dream trouble you”. He whispered before I closed my eyes and slept.I was still very tired and sleepy when Mr Ken tapped me on my shoulder. “you need to wake up now, I don't want to be late for work”. He had said as I rolled my eyes tiredly. I was too weak to even utter a word.“Go and brush your teeth”. He mumbled while pulling me with his hands. I kept rubbing my eyes before my s

KyrianMy world reflected before me as cold tears covered my eyes, the area became rowdy as I kept looking back to see Mr. Ken. My tears blurred my vision as I ran for safety, went to a nearby abandoned kiosk and sat, with many thoughts in my head. Who do I even know? Where do I go from here? I managed to trek down to one of the barracks that was close to my vicinity, I sat looking at their big emblem that was mounted on top of the building, different army officers passed while asking me so many questions but I didn't utter a word to them, soon I slept off in front of the gate.I woke up in a luxurious apartment, with a fancy chandelier with a blue light shining on me. It was as if the cloud was so close that I could even touch it. I was wondering where I was as I stepped down to the ceramic floor and went towards the room door. I couldn't see any other thing, the outside was very dark, extremely dark that I got scared and ran back inside.Soon, Mr. Ken walked in with a smile, while h

KyrianIt's already nine years since Mr Dada broke the news about his retirement to Timi and me, and exactly five years after he sent us outside to join the military, Timi and I decided to come back and serve our Fatherland. It's been a rough ride and we are finally going to set things right.It's already been sixteen years since I lost my parents yet it still looks like yesterday, Lagos state didn't change, just a few buildings having the same crime. Not to talk of so many disturbing nightmares I had just by staying a few days here, even the land hunts. “There was a murder case of a lady at Festac”. Timi had said as he started to put on his clothes. I just wore my dark green top and followed him. Before we even got there, other inspectors were there and the crime scene was already surrounded by a crowd but Timi and I managed to force ourselves in. The lady's face was already covered and about to be put in the ambulance.“What happened?!”. I asked one of the inspectors before he let

KyrianWhile we walked with the guy, several times he kept beating his chest and muttering "Who can defeat me in this area, me Shaki?! It can not happen". I couldn't but believe that his name was Shaki.“We came with a car, would you like to join us in our car, or would you rather prefer trekking?!”. I asked and immediately Timi started to complain about his legs aching badly.“Why your friend dey do like that na?! Oya make we enter motor before he go faint here”. He had said nicely before joining us in our car, I passed him a can of Budweiser, while taking ours as well. Immediately, he cocked it open and finished the drink within some seconds.“Wow! Seems you love Bud…?”. Timi had asked before he replied faintly and gradually fell asleep.“We need to handcuff him as soon as possible”. I whispered to Timi who brought out his handcuff and cuffed him immediately, before he could even wake up we were already at the station.“Na wetin be this?”. Shaki had said arrogantly as he woke up w

KyrianI immediately dragged Timi outside. “What is the problem? And please don't tell me you are alright”. Timi still kept mute as I took him inside the car when I got a call from Dan.“I'll be right back, please try and be fine”. I mumbled before leaving him.While I was walking towards the emergency room, I noticed the old woman was still looking at me, I tried to ignore her but froze instantly when she whispered my name.“Kyrian". She had said in a low tone and a slight cough.“Who are you?”. I said anxiously while moving towards her.“My name is Christy, you have a striking resemblance with one of my brother's child that has been missing for days. Are you the one?”. The Lady muttered almost in tears. I looked at her confused, there was nothing of her I could remember besides my Dad was an only Child.“No ma'am I only paused because I noticed how you have been looking at me for a while now, my name isn't even Kyrian and my parents are very much alive. My brother got involved in a
