Dike was a lover and a fighter. He was so handsome that he became a god in the eyes of single ladies of Abiam kingdom. He was strong, fierce, and courageous but Nneoma, her mother already knew that her son was not destined to marry any one.

He had a greater destiny and woman was not part of his life journey but Dike was in love.

He was a romantic lover who had a lot to give to his woman, Onwem. Onwem was a lover who dreamt always of being Dike's wife. She often told him that she would journey into the land of the dead if need be for her to bear his son.

But Dike was worried. His strength and fame grew every day just like the High Priest Predicted. "Dike, your fame will reach the ears of all the birds in the air, your strength will scare the neighboring kingdoms, Kings will pay visits to you, elders will admire you, ladies will want you...yes ladies will want you but you will not want them, you will only want one and that one is where your flaw is. Dike you are a destined Son of the soil but love, love is your doom"

Dike had consulted his mother Nneoma who was a seer in Abiam Kingdom.

"My son, my power can't be compared to that of the High Priest's. You must listen to him. Love has destroyed many great men"

"Mother, Dike began, The only thing that will destroy me is if any harm should come to my beloved Onwem. I gave her the name Onwem meaning " Myself" even The High Priest will not escape my wrath which will descend from the heavens like a heavy rain"!

"My son!" Mind your words. Many have fallen thinking themselves gods. You must Focus on the great war that is coming and remove your mind from Onwem!.

Dike left his mother's shrine in anger.

Battle between Abiam and Icho kingdoms was a thing to be remembered in ages. Children died and mothers wept. Abiam warriors being led by the Brave Dike, destroyed the Icho soldiers in the battle filed, matched into their kingdom and dragged their women and children home to Abiam.

Dike personally, out of mercy sent the King of Icho to Exile before returning to Abiam.

He was hailed and praised by Abiam warriors and civilians especially Onwem who was so happy to see him well and in his glory. Their eyes met and she gave him a befitting smile and he returned it. The princess of Abiam Kingdom stood beside her father the king and was giving Dike a romantic smile. The king of Abiam stepped forward to put a batch of commander of the whole armed forces of Abiam Kingdom on Dike's Chest. The joy from the people knew no bound.

Dike asked to make a request and the King granted him the privilege.

"I would be glad my king if you could let the mothers and children and old ones from Icho kingdom whom we took prisoners to be treated well as our guests here and not as slaves"
The king looked at his officials and chuckled.

"You have grown soft Dike. I heard that you sent the king of Icho into exile instead of bringing me his head. I also heard that you were advised to do so by Onwem, a daughter of this Kingdom before you left for this war. And so by the advise given by the High Priest and some of the Officials, Onwem is hereby sentenced to death

There was chaos as the people were shocked. Dike was shocked. He looked at his mother and then to the High Priest before resting his eyes entirely on the King. They stare closely and just then two solders held Onwem by the hands. Onwem is confused as she calls on Dike to save her. " Dike please save me"!

Dike was about to react but a soldier behind him hit him on his head with a heavy stick and he fainted.
