Yan Kungiyar Asiri Book 1 Complete Hausa Novel
Bobby found himself face-to-face with a mermaid (a half-human, half-fish creature). Her gaze locked onto his, and suddenly, he began to see stars flashing before his eyes. She pulled him deeper into the water, and Bobby’s breath began to falter, threatening to leave him. The mermaid, who was the undisputed queen of the waters, tightened her grip around Bobby’s neck for a split second, then released him. Instantly, he regained consciousness and stood on his feet, as if he were standing on solid ground.
Ruuuuuush! Fish began to emerge from every corner of the river, swimming toward Bobby and the mermaid. This caused the water to churn violently, as if it might rise and overflow.
Bobby was still in the water but could hear the voices of the people he had left on the riverbank. They were reciting a powerful incantation, which sounded like they were trying to calm the chaos in his body.
There he was, submerged in the water, but he felt intense pain coursing through him. It felt as though the pain was tearing through his skin and seeping into his bones. His eyes were the first to react; they suddenly changed color, turning a deep green like that of a mage.
The queen placed Bobby on Barclay Rock, a sacred stone where humans who sought power or strength were tested. The rock began to vibrate as Bobby’s skin started to bleed. Before anyone could blink, the river water turned red. All the members of the group continued to chant the incantation. Daddy’s body began to sway as if in a trance, and his consciousness seemed to drift away.
A sense of unease spread among the onlookers, and murmurs of concern arose. This was a bad omen. Suddenly, Bobby’s lifeless body emerged from the water, showing no signs of breath.
Father appeared from the middle of the water, his long white beard glowing with a strange light. “Do not delay. Take him and bring him to NOIRA (a special place in the forest where all powerful rituals are performed). He will recover, and you must perform the necessary rites for him,” he said, finishing his words before disappearing.
Six men carried Bobby, chanting a mystical song that sounded like it belonged to the jinn, until they reached a corner of the forest. From the entrance, you could see how a massive creature had blocked the path, preventing anyone from entering. Its wings flapped violently, making it impossible for it to fly forward, while Daddy and the others followed behind.
Under three large trees with red, blue, and black leaves, Bobby was laid to rest. “In all my years of bringing humans here, I have never seen one with such a dark and powerful spirit. What religion does he follow? He doesn’t seem like someone without a deity,” NATA, the guardian of this corner, asked as she touched Bobby’s chest.
Wulk! Bobby’s eyes suddenly opened, staring directly at her. Startled, she quickly stepped back, continuing to watch him cautiously.
Filled with joy, Daddy gave the order to begin the incantation. Everyone closed their eyes and focused on the sacred words.
The roots of the trees began to rise from the ground, lifting Bobby into the air while gently swaying his body. A loud hum filled the air, as if a storm was brewing. It took about five minutes for them to lower him back to the ground, and then flowers began to fall like a gentle rain, accompanied by a soothing breeze.
Water began to pour as if the sky had been tilted, and the forest grew darker. Bobby quickly closed his eyes, realizing the visions he was seeing were not changing. He saw only the dead, dressed in white robes, some in tattered clothing, and others approaching him in the form of human-like jinn.
“Daddy!” Bobby called out in fear, feeling a hand on his shoulder, but Daddy remained silent. The hoot of an owl? echoed through the forest, and Bobby quickly covered his ears.
“Shuuuwuu! Huuukmm! Rhooo!” The sounds he heard next felt like they were pulling at the very core of his eardrums.
He jumped up, ready to run, but the forest had transformed, and the sun was shining brightly again. Bobby’s eyes darted around, observing the footprints of wild animals and birds, but Daddy and the others were nowhere to be found.
Confused, he began to wander. Suddenly, he heard a voice from above, saying, “My name is the BLUANT tree, and I control all blue incantations related to water jinn.” Bobby looked at the tree and saw its color resembled the sky. From beside him, another voice said, “I am the ROUGEAU tree, and my purpose is to create the essence of desire through incantations.”
