Episode 6 : A Painful Goodbye and a New Beginning
‘‘ Where is Emilia? ’’ wisdom ask onyin. He had told her earlier to bring Emilia secretly so he can say goodbye properly.
‘‘ She is still sleeping I guess I haven’t seen her this morning. Too strange her servants told me she is sleeping’’ onyin replied, feeling her friend’s pain. She thought maybe Emilia had cried all night that she is just sleeping.
‘‘ Please watch over her and make sure she is not sad I will surely come back for her. You can take this you know how to operate it right? ’’ wisdom said, handing a cell phone to onyin.
‘‘ A little, I will make sure I call you if Emilia misses you, and please call too ’’ onyin collect the phone, still squeezing her face.
‘‘ Okay, bye, I will come back, okay? Little cousin don’t frown like that I’m not going forever,’ Wisdom said, and onyin smiled. She waves goodbye to her cousin as the driver starts the car, and they drive along the muddy road.
‘‘ I feel Emilia’s pain, but there is nothing he can do. He has to take care of his business. Let me check this thing. How do I use it? ’ onyin said, checking the phone out. She rushes to Emilia’s house to find her yawning. It seems she just woke up from her looks, rough hair, and face.
‘’ Onyin, you are here ’ Emilia yawned.
‘’ Is it my eyes or my imagination? You are acting and looking strange today. First, you woke up late, which is unlike you second, your skin looks pale. Why? ’ Onyin said with a concerned look…
‘‘ Wisdom is gone? ’’ Emilia asked, then her eyes caught little strands of blue hair while she is scratching her hair. She wonders why her body is changing then she remembers the power of blue flame inside her.
‘‘ Yes, he asks me to call him with this if you miss him, and he will always call when he misses you too ’’ Onyin said, showing Emilia the phone.
‘‘ Really? Can I call him with this? ’’
Immortal kingdom
In the castle of a beautiful kingdom on another planet, situated on the high, glorious golden throne, is the ancient fire goddess Emilie with her subordinate Magnus standing before her.
“ Magnus you are going to earth right now to stop my granddaughter from engaging in that dangerous thing called love ” Emilie ordered, but Magnus is still standing.
“ My queen but Emilia has done nothing wrong and besides its too late she already has blue flame inside her,” Magnus said, but instead of a reply, Emilie throws a big blue flame ball at him, which hit him badly.
“ You dare question me? Did you forget who made me who I am? A human turn my beautiful flame to an evil one. Do you know how the earth is? It is a place filled with stupid believes and superstitions. ” she yelled.
“ I’m sorry your majesty ” he apologize in agony.
“ But may I ask a question? ” he said, and Emilie’s crystal blue eyes shine in anger immediately before it cools down again.
“ If it won’t land you in trouble,” she said, using her beautiful hands decorated with jewelry to detangle her hair.
“ My queen why did you allow Amara your daughter to fall in love,” Magnus asked, and Emilie burst into loud laughter that shakes the kingdom to its roots.
“ Because she is useless because of what her father did to me I made sure I remove every ounce of my magic from her but this her daughter Emilia seems to have the pure blue flame and that’s why I want you to stop her from falling in love deeper because I don’t want her to end up like me. I’m sure you won’t want to have an aggressive queen like me again ” Emilie said, and Magnus agrees.
“ Behind her evil manners, there is a loving heart if only humans were not that ungrateful how can he still have eyes for another one when he has the most beautiful flame,” Magnus thought.
“ I heard that! ” Emilie shouted, and he almost loses his balance.
“ She sure is fearful,” he thought again.
“ I heard that too ” she shouted again.
“ Sweet Rena (the god of immortals) ” Magnus whispered.
Now he is going to the human world to stop the young goddess from going deeper in love.
Unknown to him when he was making the spell, he made a little mistake, so instead of Akunta village, the portal took him to Lagos.

“ Oh, miss Amanda ask of you,” Damilola informed him.
“ Next time Dammy you don’t tell me that first, you ask about how my vacation was,” he said with a sour face.
“ Okay, I’m sorry sir how was your vacation? ” Damilola corrected.
“ It was fun ” he smiled, thinking about Emilia.
“ Oh, I guess miss Onyinyechi must have made your vacation right? ” Damilola asked.
“ No not onyin, I found a perfect lady ” wisdom said, and Damilola smiled.
“ I guess you are finally in love any way I will get you a coffee latte right? ” she asked, and he nodded.
“ I’m going to go on another vacation ” he winks.

“ no, be only take na took ” Emilia mocked.
“ You will soon see when my cousin finally marry you hey what is happening to you! ” onyin exclaimed when she notices Emilia’s sudden change. Her skin is now very pale, and her eyes are crystal blue just like her grandmother’s, her hair that is as black as night before is now blue, and she resembles the exact image of her grandmother Emilie.
“ Emilie you just made a foolish mistake by sending Magnus here ” Passion, Emilia’s paternal grandmother said, feeling the presence of the goddess of fire subordinate.
“ What do you mean? ” Emilia asked, flashing her crystal blue eyes.
“It’s just you a bit strange, you look pale and your hair is crystal blue color same as your eyes ” onyin said, covering her mouth and just a flash Emilia returns to normal.
“ I can’t believe it Emilia you are back to normal maybe I’m just imagining nonsense ” onyin laughed at her stupidity.
“ Maybe you are imagining wrong things,” emila laughed, knowing perfectly well what onyinyechi means.
Phone rings
“ Oh wisdom is calling ” onyin announced, and Emilia smiled. Onyin picks the call immediately.
“ Hello, my love ” wisdom’s voice sounds lovely on the phone that Emilia started blushing.
“ My wisdom I can’t believe I’m hearing your voice right now how is Lagos? ”Emilia asked.
“ Lagos is fine but I wish you are here with me Emily oh I’m sorry you told me not to call you that,” wisdom said, and Emilia laughed.
“ Hey, anything you call me is fine my love,” she said shyly.
“ Really? ”
“ Yes, my love sorry I talk to you that way I was just carried away by my own emotions,” Emilia said with a calm voice.
“ Its okay Emily I’m coming to the village soon to take you with me my love ” wisdom sound so happy.
“ Really? You will take me to Lagos? But on one condition only will follow us ” Emilia shouted happily.
“ Anything you say my love onyin is my cousin after all and I’ve been begging her to come to Lagos before but now she won’t have a choice but to agree ” wisdom replied.
“ Oh, you this girl is actually taking me to Lagos bah? Is unfair o but anywhere you go I go ” onyin hit Emilia playfully.
“ I’m hanging up my love kisses ” wisdom hangs up smiling, but his smile fades when he sights his main problem in front of him. The lady who claims to love him but left him for someone else in school is now crawling back because he is now wealthy.
“ Did I heard wrong? Or did you just call someone else your love ” Amanda fumes angrily?
“ What do you think it is? I’ve found the love of my life. I’m finally in love ” wisdom laughed, provoking Amanda.
Episode 8 : The Goddess’s Warning and Resolve
“ Wisdom have you forgotten no lady can take you away from me? Because I’m the most beautiful lady on earth ” Amanda boasts.
“ Japaa please stop making noise here you are so ugly that even Damilola is even prettier than you not to talk of my sunshine even the light of the sun is competing with her beauty because she is the goddess of beauty itself ” wisdom praises Emilia.
“ What? So it is your secretary bah Damilola! come here immediately! ” Amanda yelled.
“ Yes ma’am,” Damilola enter the office, and wisdom gave her a wink.
“ How dare you flirt with wisdom?! Answer me! ” Amanda yelled.
“ madam please calm down I’m not the perfect one who is so beautiful that my boss can’t stop thinking about her ” Damilola smiled.
“ What?! ” Amanda exclaimed.
“ Is she that beautiful? ” she asked.
“ She is so beautiful that even the sun competes with her beauty ” wisdom replied.
“ I’ve been your friend for over five years you never look at me and this stranger just came and snatch all your heart I won’t let her have you I promise you ” she cried before she storms out of the office.
Akunta village
Emila can be seen pacing around her room, smiling, thinking about wisdom.
“ Emilia what’s the occasion,” her grandmother asked her in her goddess form.
“ Grandma you can’t show your true self here remember we are not in our meeting place,” emila said.
“ It doesn’t matter no one knows who I am they will just think I am a stranger,” passion told her.
“ I can see you are thinking about your love” passion smiled.
“ How did you know? ” Emilia asked.
“ Well I’m the goddess of love,” passion said proudly.
“ Oh, I forgot,” Emilia said.
“ Well, I just want to tell you I’m going back to the immortal realm ” passion drop the bomb.
“ What?! Grandma, you are leaving me alone? Don’t go ” Emilia cried like a baby.
“ Hey we can get in touch in the waterfall you are an immortal too you can visit anytime just don’t let your maternal grandmother see you,” passion said with deep emotions.
Emilia is now weeping badly like a baby, she didn’t want her grandmother to leave her, but there is nothing she can do.
Passion left her to cry on her own. Ten minutes later, Emilia heard her mother’s cry, and she rushed out immediately.
She saw her mother crying like a baby.
“ Chim oh! Mother, please don’t leave me alone please don’t leave me now ” Amarachi shouted as she rolls on the ground.
“ So she is gone? ” Emilia cried louder.
“ So she is gone? So soon?! ” she cried even louder. People are now rushing to their house after hearing the cries of mother and daughter.
All efforts to calm Emilia down prove abortive, then passion appears to her in her standard form.
“ if you let your emotions get into your head you will end you’re loosing yourself so stop yourself before you reveal your identity ” passion warned her before she finally calms down.
Minutes later onyin rushed into their compound, holding the phone, which means wisdom just called, she gave wisdom a call to tell him about the incident.
“ She can’t talk to you right now her grandma just died,” onyin said, holding back her tears.
“ What? But she was healthy then! ” wisdom exclaimed.
“ That’s how we see it o,” onyin said.
“ Emilia must be so sad right now ” wisdom replied.
“ She is not crying again just looking like a dummy ” onyin’s tears finally escaped.
“ Oh, may her soul rest in peace,” wisdom said before hanging up.
“ Dammy please cancel all my schedule for this week I’m going to the village,” he told his secretary.
“ But why? Don’t tell me you are missing the lady ” she teased, but wisdom isn’t ready for all that.
“ Her grandma just died and I have to be with her ” wisdom announces then she nodded.
“ Oh I imagine how sad the young lady must be may her soul rest in peace,” Damilola said emotionally.
Magnus arrives at Lagos, marveling at the beauty of the city when passion appears to him.
“ My lady! ” Magnus exclaimed.
“ Magnus what are you doing here? Remember the high constellation doesn’t allow immortals on earth anymore if mother Rena knew about this you know what will happen ” passion said.
“ I know but my queen sent me here ” he replied.
“ To monitor Emilia? She doesn’t need to do that she should leave the poor girl alone ” passion said with a calm voice.
“ But she insists she doesn’t want her granddaughter to become like her ” Magnus raise his head for the first time.
“ Magnus, I know what Emilie is thinking. She just wants to get Emilia on her side so they can destroy the world together.
I wonder what the high constellation was thinking when the send another blue flame to this world, now it is all complicated because just like Emile’s blood runs on her mine also run in her body so only one mistake and she will destroy everything ”
Episode 9 : Coping with Loss and Uncovering Family Secrets
Wisdom arrives a day later, the was already buried. Uchena, Emilia’s father, was significantly affected, but he is a man, so he can’t cry.
Emilia refuses to let anybody in her room even onyin, but when wisdom came, she eventually opens the door.
“ Emilia calm down I know how you feel but just put your mind at rest even if you cry from today till tomorrow she won’t wake up hmm my love tears doesn’t fit you,” wisdom said, pulling her into a hug.
“ I didn’t know that she will be gone so soon she promises she will be present on my wedding day ” Emilia cried into wisdom’s hand.
“ You know death is inevitable so just calm down ” wisdom pat her head.
A night later, Emilia creates a portal just like passion taught her, and she went to the immortal realm.
She is already in her original form, a replica of the evil fire goddess. She met passion playing the flute with a sweet melody. She sat down beside her, enjoying the cool breeze.
“ You need to be careful now Emilia, Emilie is planning something really evil. Remember she is now evil and she may want you to take over her ” passion said stopping the music.
“ But can’t she just leave me alone? ” Emilia asked angrily.
“ No I won’t leave you alone,” Emilie said behind her.
“ Long time no see the goddess of love ” she added, flaunting her elegant gown.
“ Emilie leaves her alone she is already in love,” passion said in defense.
“ Well your music brought me here I didn’t know the young flame will be with you ” the darkness in Emilie’s body is immeasurable.
“ But wait what was mother Rena thinking when she made another blue flame is she by chance trying to stop me? ” she let out a wicked laugh.
“ Well someone has to stop you and I will make sure Emilia doesn’t become like you ” passion also laughed.
“ Passion stop talking nonsense. She already got into the dangerous thing you call love now how won’t she become like me? ” Emilie laughed.
“ Well I will never become like you I won’t allow the dark side of blue flame into my heart,” Emilia said for the first time contributing to the dialogue.
“ We shall see,” Emilie said with a frown.
Emilie vanishes after she learned about what is in Emilia’s heart. She is so furious, and in that anger, she destroyed some of her subordinates.
A month later, the burial was arranged. Wisdom who left for Lagos came back after the burial arrangements to cheer Emilia up.
“ My love do you want to go to Lagos? ” wisdom asked on a sunny afternoon.
“ Yes of course,” she said happily, filling her beautiful face with smiles which wisdom had not seen in weeks.
“ Oh thank God o my Emilia just smiled,” wisdom said in a joking manner, which made Emilia hit him playfully.
“ So you think I’m an ice cube that doesn’t know how to smile? ” she said.
“ No it’s just that you are always bright and beautiful when you smile,” he said.
“ Ohh my wisdom ”
“ My baby,” he said cutely, but it angers Emilia.
“ Hey I’m not a baby,” Emilia said angrily.
“ No I’m not saying you are a small baby I mean you are my ba*e ” wisdom smilies, but Emilia can’t get any of it right.
“ ba*e? It still sounds like baby I don’t like it ” Emilia said, removing wisdom’s hand from her shoulder.
“ Emilia we are leaving next week, you know currently the model I’m using for my products is behaving abnormally acting like she is the most beautiful lady in the world not knowing that there is a beauty goddess like you here so I will give you a job when we get to Lagos ” wisdom announced and Emilia’s face beams with smiles.
Brent cosmetics

Damilola was busy singing helplessly by Tatiana manaois when Amanda walks in, announcing her presence with the clicking of her shoes. Amanda can be seen in front of Damilola, wisdom’s secretary holding some paper works.
“ I’m canceling our contract ” Amanda announced, and Damilola gasped in shock.
“ what? But it is not yet time for its renewal you are going to loose yourself miss Amanda can you please take it easy? Our company is going to loose much because of this habit of yours ” Damilola tries to calm her down.
“ Hey who are you to order me around? Hermia cosmetics has given me an offer so I’m out of here tell your boss ” Amanda blow her gum.
“ Miss amanda this table you are shaking is glass o and not even ordinary glass its a glass table with eggs on top ” Damilola warned.
“ I don’t care the table should crash ” Amanda replied bluntly.
“ Alright when my boss arrives we will sort it out,” Damilola said.
“ If I can’t have him then he should find another model,” Amanda hisses.
Episode 10 : Confronting the Past and Preparing for Battle
“ Wisdom bia Lezia nwam nwachi anya nke oma take care of my daughter o ” Amarachi told wisdom the day he is set to take Emilia to Lagos.
“ she have dream of going to school but we couldn’t let her go but please make sure she is safe ” her father also added.
“ don’t worry mom and dad I promise Emilia will go to school and she will be working in my company too and I also promise to protect her even if it cost my life ” wisdom said softly.
Emilia couldn’t talk because she is emotional, and she is already missing her parents.
They left for Lagos with onyin, and they arrive at wisdom’s apartment in the evening. Emilia was almost faint at the sight of the mansion. She has never set her eyes on something so beautiful like that before.
Amanda’s room
“ I’m sure he won’t find any lady as beautiful as me so he won’t have a choice but to call me back poor wisdom ” Amanda laughed as she paced around her room with full smiles on her face.
“ what if that lady is really pretty than me? No it can’t be to look like this I spend money on many surgeries so there’s no way she would afford those ” she laughed harder.
Unknown to her, she is just deceiving herself; wisdom did not even care. She cancels the contract; he is only looking forward to making Emilia take her place quickly. He hired a private tutor for Emilia and onyin even though onyin did not want to study, but whatever Emilia does, she will surely do it. Onyin is naturally beautiful but not like Emilia, the beauty goddess.
Magnus is still searching for Emilia under Emilie’s order, but he always can’t find her, but he felt she is closer now that she is also in Lagos.
He manages to disguise himself among humans, and since his powers are still intact, having money is a simple task, he wants to find Emilia at all cost.
Passion on her own has returned to the immortal realm watching her granddaughter, but she visits the high constellation to ask why they made another fire goddess.
The high constellation consists of mother Rena, elder Karen, elder kuda, and father, Zeus.
“ passion the reason why we created another fire goddess is the same reason we made you a goddess of love ” Father Zeus said…
“ you mean? ” passion asked.
“ to stop Emilie and for you to correct your sister’s doing ” mother, Rena replied to her question.
“ but why is it that I’m the one who always clean up Seline’s deed? It’s unfair she is the goddess of deceit ” passion said with a sad voice.
“ because you are the goddess of love and she is your sister so you have to clean her mess with the new goddess of fire’s help you can both restore light to Emilie remember she is still in touch with your sister seline the goddess of deceit ” elder kuda said.
“ you all know Seline hate me don’t you? But why will you choose me for this mission and the way I’m looking at Emilie the darkness have consumed every part of her making her unable to see light ” passion claimed.
“ well you have a great job to do then passion ” mother Rena sighs.
“ I’ll see what I can do ” passion replied with a sigh too.
Emilia is doing well with wisdom, but she misses her parents and her two nosy servants. Those girls choose to serve her because of her beauty, she regards them as friends, but they always call her “my lady,” although it felt awkward at first she is gotten used to it.
“ Emilia this one you are serious with books I hope you won’t be a professor soon ” onyin teased one evening after their tutor left.
“ well I wish to I don’t know why I suddenly like reading,” Emilia smiled.
“ you always want to study since your eyes started tracing wisdom and you wish to be educated just like him now you have the chance I know you won’t let it go ” onyin chuckled.
Emilia and onyin passed their SSCE in flying colors. This incredible wisdom, how can a village girl make SSCE like that which just a few months classes he is more than impressed, Emilia did jamb, and onyin follow her steps.
The day for Emilia to finally take Amanda’s place, Although Emilia is still in the tertiary institution wisdom, persuades her to give modeling a try.
She agrees to everything wisdom says on one condition that onyin also does the same.
Amanda heard that the new model is as beautiful as a goddess even without makeup, and it infuriated her that she made up her mind to see that new model at any cost.
Wisdom and Emilia just arrived at Brent cosmetics to sign the agreement even onyin can’t help but smile as she saw her best friend and her cousin with love filling the air for them.
“ you know what Emilia? I like seeing this smile a lot now you have grown from that village girl who wears “adire” and beads to a city girl that wears elegant dresses now, you didn’t only upgrade yourself, you also upgrade me too.
You made me see the importance of education, and I’m thankful for that, and any force that wants to break you and my brother will never succeed,” Onyin said, and Emilia and wisdom can’t help but smile.
“ I found her at last ”
