Everyone is outside the bar. Oya and the person are at a corner. She grabs the individual by the neck lifting the person in the air.
"How did you find me? ELEGEDE!!!" Asked Oya enraged.
"I am no longer hunting you down." Said Elegede groaning in pain. "I am just doing what Oshun told me to do and I was taking a little break."
"What will that be?!"
"When the wind blows spread the seeds of love and fertility to the people."
Oya lets go of him, letting him drop to the floor coughing.
"When you return to her tell her I said 'Hey there UGLY HOE! If you were a real flower I would uproot you. Six feet deep.' You may not get it but she would. "
She leaves with a big smile on her face.

The main while somewhere deep in the dark forest there is a cult gathering. The cult involves a coven of witches and wizards. They are sited around a table shaped like a pentagram table which symbolises the five elements. Each individual has their charms which also represent the type of witch they are, incantation books and voodoo materials.
They began their meeting. As soon as that was over the Leader of the coven passed a message.
"Today we have gathered to celebrate our victory over our enemies and victims." Said the Leader with a smile on her face. "There is news out there that the god of death from Nigeria has arrived. I hear that there is a big meeting for the gods all around the world which will be held soon."
She begins to address them:
"Witches and wizards of the air, of water, of earth, of fire and spirit you all have the mission to find out about her, this goddess of death called Oya."
"We do know." Said a witch of earth. "She is ... well, dangerous and she can be crafty. I have heard of her before from many other witches."
"What about her?" Asked a member of the coven.
"Well, it's a good and long story. She was once a human many years ago and was a concubine who did not bend to a man's rule or the expectation of what a woman is to be in society. She was said to be a very beautiful woman to the point the former ruler of her homeland preferred to see her the most.
One day the love of her life disappeared and was later found dead somewhere in the forest. Turns out he committed suicide after a battle with someone. When this got to her she couldn't bear it anymore. So she ran away with the two kids she had with her but of another woman. I heard she cared for children. After all, she never was able to be a mother because of the plague of miscarriage and infertility.
Sadly those children passed away. The kids died from the evil spirits of the forest. That was enough to send her into madness. She couldn't bear the pain."
"She then prayed for them, the twins." Said a wizard of spirit. "She prayed for them in their afterlife to have a second chance of living."
"True." Said the witch of earth. "She went days with no food, no water and no clothes. She did stay with the decaying bodies of her children. She fell into a deep depression. She decides to take a little trip to the afterlife."
"Still a life, right?" Asked the Leader a little bit surprised.
"Yesthe, the supreme leader." Said the wizard of spirits. "She asked of him at the pearly and golden gates of heaven. The angels told her that he was not in heaven and she shouldn't be there while he was alive. She then asked where he could be. So they tell her he is at the resting place for souls but greets part. As she does try to leave they tell her she needs to be fast because of her condition. She then goes to the underworld for tormented and impure souls. There she meets Heidi god of the underworld with him is the three-headed demon bull-dog. There, there was a lot of talk about meeting her husband. She then made a deal with her maker. She begged and begged. She requested to be a god in exchange for his soul to be reborn. To have a second chance at life. She was asked what abilities she would like to have as to be a restless soul. She gave a list and she was given."
"After that long moment in the afterlife, she went back to her body." Continued the earth witch. "She got up from where she was lying down and carried the twins. She went to another land unknown to us and anyone from anywhere. There she buried the kids with her bare hands and after that, she went missing. "
"So she is more or less mysterious." Said the Leader.
"How dangerous can she be?" Asked a member of the air.
"If you remember the story of 800 decades ago." Said the witch of earth. "That disaster that happened at our 'village of Àjé' then you know you need a very strong spell for her."
Everyone kept quiet because everyone had heard of the disaster from many witches before them.
Ivan walks by Oya on the streets while Calliope and Eve are flirting and making out at their back.
"Who was that back there?" Asked Ivan.
"I call him a nuisance but most people know him as the Jack-O-Lightern." Said Oya still a bit pissed.
"No fucking way!!!" Exclaimed Ivan. "Are you toying with me right now?"
"If I was toying with you I would be doing that with your life or maybe your soul."
"..."
Just as the discussion comes to an end Oya tells them it is time to go home as the day comes to an end. Both Eve and Oya bid Calliope and Ivan goodnight. Oya tells Eve to go in while she goes out for the night.
Oya heads to a waterfall that is a bit far from the town. There she meets other gods and goddesses. From Neptune to Apolo and Oshun and Oba.
Oshun is not happy to see her and neither is Oya. They are gathered together to have a meeting.
"I got your message." Said Oshun sitting by the right-hand side of Oba while Oya sat by the left-hand side. "You have no respect do you?"
"It's not like you ever smelt like it."
"Please both of you should stop fighting." Said Oba.
They talked about the issues affecting the Ocean and the living organisms of the ocean. After a while, they conclude how and what to do about the Ocean's issue.
Everyone heads back to their domains while Oya goes to a graveyard. She is looking for a brand new body to possess. Just as she was looking for a body, she bumped into someone.
"People should not be around here around this time at night." Said Oya turning to who she had bumped into.
"I am sorry." Said the person.
At first, Oya did not want to jump too loudly she took a good look at the person in front of her and it was her long-lost friend. His name was Agbo. He too was filled with joy.

Somewhere not too far from the town is a kingdom. This kingdom is called Kititon. It is ruled by King Lombok II and he is a very bad king. People call him more of a tyrant. Next to him on his king-sized bed is a witch. She tells the king about some good news that can help him be a greater king.
"Your majesty." Says the witch with a small smile on her face. "I hear that there is a way for you to be the greatest king in history."
"Really? Please tell me how to be a great king, my love." Said the king.
"All you need is the most powerful goddess to be by your side or in other words control the deity."
"I thought it was impossible to do so or even capture one."
"With incantation and charms, it is not so hard but there is a price to pay. I also heard she is here in the nearby town."
"How powerful is she?"
"She is death. She commands deaths. She is one of the most powerful gods of the underworld and most of all the earth's weather is at her knees and most of all war is her bloody name."
"She sounds promising. How much can she be?"
"Far more than a chariot of gold."
"Who cares? The person that brings her to me gets more than money. Cause I believe she will be worth the catch."
The king sends his message to all bounty hunters to find and capture Oya. Anyone who does so gets rewarded.
