Chapter 60

The clearing echoed with a resounding chorus of approval and support. Ikem could feel the unity in the air, a shared determination to forge ahead into a new era for their community. With a renewed sense of purpose, Ikem descended from the platform, ready to embark on this journey of leadership and change alongside his newfound family.

Night came down fast, as Ikem found himself a tree to lay on as he looked up to the night sky, the night wind blew by causing the feather and scale left by Tweet and Boros to tickle Ikem's chest. Looking down at his chest, Ikem picked up the feather until it was at eye level.

" It's been a while, I wonder how they are doing" Ikem thought to himself as he sent mana into the leaf activating it.

The feather glowed up with white light before leaving Ikem's hand and levitating in the air, sitting up Ikem cöeard his throat to speak out but Tweet beat him to it.

" Finally decided to check on me huh" Ikem smiled as he looked at the feathers.

" It's been a busy journey, I just got to mom's place today and wanted to let you know that I'm safe," Ikem answered.

" Were your mother's people welcoming?" Tweet happy voice came clearly from the feathers

" They were amazing tweets and guess what I just got a new wife" Ikem spent the night under the tree discussing with Tweet about his journeys and plans ahead, it took a while before the tiredness got to Ikem as he needed to sleep.

" I am very tired now, tweet, we have to wait for the full charge to continue our talk" Ikem said in a tired tone.

" No problem and take good care of yourself" Tweet said and the feather light slowly dimmed.

Time went by as Ikem's kids all grew up to their mature age, Ikem didn't procreate again as he was tired of it so he left the job of expanding their race to his kids, at the same time he gathered his four kids that has shown the most talent to gather at the cave in front of the huge tree.

Ikem hasn't being in his human form since he settled down with the primates, but he was still growing as he was now taller and physique got more bulkier, once thing to notice was that he now has shade of green all over the hairs in his body, the color change stated after the core in his heart got bigger and more element move into his body. Even the skin under felt more rough and barky like trees, IKem was expecting to look a lot different the next time the core gets bigger.

Walking into the cave, Ikem found Four apelings standing and admiring the huge tree. Ikem took note of the diversity in the appearance of kids with only one of them having a tail and the other tailless, each bearing an appearance similar to their mother.

Walking to the absent minded kids, Ikem had to clear his throat to gather their attention, Immediately seeing their father, Zephyr the most active of his kids ran a whole circle around Ikem asking continuously " Why have you gathered us here dad, what is this huge tree doing in here, is there a secret mission you have for us"

A vein can being seen present on Ikem face as he was being bombarded with question, stretching out his hand, Ikem grabbed Xephyr by his throat while lifting him up before regarding his other kids who were already used to their brother behavior, still holding Zephyr, Ikem pulled out the book his father gave him.

Looking at the book and his kids, Ikem said " You all are about to embark on a different journey because of your talents, You may have noticed that i let your other siblings grab themselves a mate, you are also about to do the same but your case will be different"

" You have been informed about your lineage as the descendant of the god of natures and curses, This book was handed to me by your grandfather and in it bears a ritual that is to be performed under the right conditions which is you guys" Ikem said as he raised the book for them to see.

Ember his child with Aine stepped forward " I have heard about grandfather a lot, but i still find it hard to believe that he is real"

His other children nodded in agreement , but Ikem pointed at the tree behind them and said " This was also left by your grandfather before he went into his deep sleep"

The tree seems to understand what Ikem said and the branches stretched out grabbing hold of the kids and at the same time gave them a huge scare.

"Hahaha, Stop scaring them Osisi" Ikem said to the tree which let them go and they all backed up while staring Vigilantly at the tree.
