in a village thousands of years ago in early Africa two men had made inquiries to the Gods surrounding the events they where about to have.. the first man ahjele had requested for a rain maker for his up coming wedding, he didn't want such a thing as the weather to ruin his special day so he hired a rain maker named ayaka to suppress the rain in the clouds until his ceremony was over, during the wedding ayaka was sitting down at a spot drinking and enjoying the music that came from the drums and the hypnotizing voices of the women who sang, but suddenly he saw a shift in the clouds and ahjele grabbed on to him and said "you stupid rain maker is this what I hired you for?" ayaka was still in shock but he stood his ground and began a chant, lifted his hands up to the sky and pushed the rain back into the heavens, but the rain only came back stronger and harsher and suddenly it turned into a tag of war situation between ayaka's power and the persistence of the rain , little did he know that









on that same day jazala a man whom had just lost a precious relative had also hired a rain maker "zala" to bring fort the rain of a thousand seas as a way to Honor his dearly departed relative. zala kept on pulling the rain out from the clouds and ayaka kept on suppressing it.. until ayaka got very annoyed and pulled out his orb and immediately found out that there was another rain maker upon seeing this he said "who is this bastard who thinks he can frustrate the work of ayaka son of the rivers, I will send you back to your ancestors you unfortunate fool" ayaka proceeded to send lightening all the way to where zala was situated to which jazala pushed him out of the way saving his life, zala upon seeing the lightening that was sent to him immediately noticed this was the doing of another rain maker one of high caliber, because if it was the Gods that were trying to execute him the volts from the lightening would have no color, so zala traced the trajectory of the lightening that was just sent to him ignoring jazala's words which were "are you alright? maybe we should stop this" and zala without a word out of his mouth sent both thunder and lighting to ayaka's location causing a lot of commotion in the wedding leading to the loss of ahjele who was still trying to scold ayaka before he got turned into ash, which lead to a weeping bride and an all out battle between the rain makers sending thunder and lighting to each other back and fort until obalani goddess of the skies woke up from her slumber and swallowed the whole village in annoyance for the hubris of the rain makers.
