      EPISODE 1

( IDUNG SOUNDS VERY NOISY THIS DAY, PEOPLE RUNNING FROM ONE EDGE TO THE OTHER, SOME FALLING, WHILE OTHERS COMING FROM THE FARM THROW THEIR FARM THINGS AWAY FOR A BETTER PLACE OF RESCUE; THE VOICE OF TWO GOSSIPS IS HEARD EVEN IN THE NOISE)

GOSSIP 1;

(breathing hard) my dear, this situation is very hard to understand

GOSSIP 2;

can you imagine? I guess the gods has forgotten us; even the warriors of Idung are weak

GOSSIP 1;

my dear idip, look at how people are running from one place to the other, to save themselves from dying

GOSSIP 2;

would you love to die by the sword of the white witch?

GOSSIP 1;

(in fear) the gods forbid, lets hurry before your words come to pass

(RUNNING WITHOUT LOOKING BACK THEY EXIT. EFFIONG WHO IS A WARRIOR COMES IN WALKING GENTLY AND WONDERING WHY PEOPLE ARE RUNNING, THEN UBONG ANOTHER WORRIOR HITS HIM WHILE RUNNING)

EFFIONG;

( holding UBONG) Ubong why are people running? in fact why are you running?

UBONG;

the white witch, that so called witch is killing people, I am running for my life

EFFIONG;

I have known you to be a very weak warrior. is it because of a common witch you are running?

UBONG;

Effiong may the gods of our land finish your tongue; Are you stupid or is it that you did not hear me? I said the white witch is killing people

EFFIONG;

I am the lion, I have battled in several rivers, forest, in fact I have killed spirits and even bigger witches. nobody, I repeat, nobody not even that white witch or what ever they call her, can defeat me

UBONG;

yes me too, I mean yes you can

(UBONG SIGHTS THE WHITE WITCH; THE WHITE WITCH LOOKS SO WHITE AND VERY SCARY. JUST HER LOOK CAN KILL A PERSON)

Effiong look at your back

(EFFIONG SEES THE WHITE WITCH AND RUNS AWAY WITH OUT LOOKING BACK; UBONG FOLLOWS HIM AT HIS BACK)
