Elder uba: hmm….. this is getting out of hand, for how long will they continue using us for sacrifice and there is no way to escape from the village, because the warriors are everywhere monitoring everybody’s movement.
elder okafor: o gods of our land come to our rescue before we all perish in the hand of the goddess.
elder uba: and the king is even in support of the human sacrifice, instead of him to appease on our behalf, instead he will send his warriors to take the person to the river where the sacrifice will be done.
elder elebuo: what a wicked king, and a bad custom we have in this kingdom.
elder okafor: hmm….. let us accept the fate that we are all going to die oneday, nobody knows who will be the next to be sacrifice (after they finish talking, they left to various home)
