PROLOGUE
Choral singing fills the stage, flooding in it high velocity, drumming and symbolic sound-effect embraces, slaps off the deep-silence like cloak covering the beauty of the moment vibes.
Light appears on stage, reveals a woman dressed in royalty but struggles with three men in black who pulls her to backstage.
Moment later, a deep cry is heard which has it source from backstage. Suddenly, the woman once dressed in royalty comes out dressed tatteredly, weeping profusely without consolation and blood drips from in between her thighs.
Presently, NARRATOR appears on stage, briefly looks at the woman, shakes his head in a sad mood and then turns to address the audience.
NARRATOR:
Silence! They say is golden. When the end of silence is tragic, the tears of it becomes more flooded than even the waters of oceans. Can silence be loud? When silence becomes loud, the best silence observer becomes the most foolish fool. That is the struggle in EHOR KINGDOM.
(Light out).
ACT 1 SCENE 1
Before the king is the Chief priest who is in a state of divination (He looks through a horn that looks cow. Then, he faces the king.
CHIEF PRIEST:
My king, may you reign forever. Can the tortoise survives without it shell? And what does chameleon really understands about colour before the peacock?
OGUN:
Wise one, you speak in parables and proverbs. How do you expect me to understand the coded language of the gods, when I am nothing before them.
CHIEF PRIEST:
My king, why will a crow, the evil bird decides to incubates another bird eggs? What happened to her own?
OGUN:
You still talks in parables. I beseech you, tell the king the future you have seen for this kingdom. I cannot watch this kingdom comes to ruin. It never happened to my forebears.
CHIEF PRIEST:
A sacrilege has been committed and if the gods are not appeased with human sacrifices, pain, death, misery and calamities will before this Kingdom. Atonement is demanded by the gods, my king.
OGUN:
Chief Priest, How many human sacrifices and besides, who is responsible for the calamities that is about to fall on us greatly like unpleasurable rain?
CHIEF PRIEST:
My king, our father says "No matter, how hungry he is to eat tortoise, if all tortoise has gone into extinction saved one for sacrifice, he will never eat the one saved for the gods. My king, the eagle choses what to eat.
OGUN:
What do you mean by that riddle?
CHIEF PRIEST:
(In sad mood) My king, will the hen able to bear the devouring of it children by the hawks and before the hawks? Most especially all.
OGUN:
Please can you just spill the mystery.
CHIEF PRIEST:
My king, the words of the gods is too heavy for me to spill. Will my King's vessel has the capacity to hold it?(He looks up like someone in a trance). My king, your sons are the chicks.
OGUN:
What? Why my sons? Are there no slaves. Why my sons?
CHIEF PRIEST:
The question you ask lies within your bosom. Search your household and unravel the mystery behind the gods words.
OGUN:
Does the gods not have answers to my questions. Why are the gods so unfair to me and my household?
CHIEF PRIEST:
The gods are wise and fair in judgement. My advice for you is to pray to the gods to reveal the deepest of secrets to you. I beg to take my leave, my king (the Chief priest bows and leaves while the king is in a daze).
Light out .
ACT 1 SCENE 2
OGUN appears in his palace, deeply soaked in thought without even noticing the presence of OTAKHO.

OGUN:
Joy has eluded me. I am choked with thorns of hopelessness. My happiness is shortlived. Who can console my weeping heart? I prayed to the gods every waking day not to disappoint my ancestors but why are they unfair to me?(Backs her)
OTAKHO:
My king, the banquet of my beauty. The citadel of wisdom. The gods in flesh that is unfathomable. My king, tell me worries that has been given you sleepless night.
OGUN:
Who will be the kitten that will take over when the cat is gone? Is the rat capable? Tell me (faces her)
OTAKHO:
My king, you seem parabolic and your words are full of riddles. What is happening to my love?
OGUN:
Who will be the heir to my throne when I am gone?
OTAKHO:
(Laughs) My king, your words are funny. Why will you be asking after a heir apparent to the throne when you have two grown up sons.
OGUN:
You are a woman, what do you understand? You do not understand my feeling. OTAKHO, I feel drained because I have this strong feeling that I am the last person in my bloodline?
OTAKHO:
My king, you scares me with your words. How can you be the last person when you have children?
OGUN:
The gods has demanded them for sacrifice.
OTAKHO:
Not my children.
OGUN:
(Aside)How will the gods want the sacrifice of my two sons, not even one? Something is wrong somewhere.(faces the queen) I think I need to see a seer for the answers to my questions. The gods are wise.

OGUN:
Well! Do not take long. We will wait for you here.
ETIN:
Yes, my king. I won't take long( He runs into the bush leaving the king with IRO and two servants)
OGUN:
Iro, will it still take long to get to Ogiamen's shrine?
IRO:
No, we still have to........ ( Cricking sound heard from the bush). My king, permit me to hurt down that animal disturbing the peace of the king. Watch the king( instructs the servants).

Well, Iro has been executed. And that is bygone. So, the reason we summoned you here is to discuss who will be the next king, considering the fact that we are twin.
CHIEF 1:
One of you will be coronated as the king after the mourning rite is over.
CHIEF PRIEST
(He storms into the palace) Impossible! Bastards cannot rule this kingdom when sons are available.

Wise one, we greet you.

Mother, tell us about us.
OTAKHO:
Oba Ogun is your father, I concieved you both to him. I prayed to the gods and my prayer was answered.
EDO:
Then, why is the Chief Priest, a thorn to our flesh?
OTAKHO:
The Chief priest is your father's elder brother. He was never happy when your father was crowned king instead him. His destiny is to be a Chief Priest; an eye of the gods, a diviner but he still fought against your father's to usurp the throne from him. That is why he wants you out of the way using his priesthood influence as an advantage.
IDEHEN:
So the Chief Priest is our uncle
OTAKHO:
Yes. Did you know that he told your father that you both are to be sacrificed to avert calamities that is to come.
EDO:
That means uncle is responsible for the death of father and if this is true. He will pay dearly with his head.
OTAKHO:
However, do not refer to him as your uncle anytime or anywhere.
IDEHEN:
Why?
OTAKHO:
He does not deserve to be call your uncle. How will a man who wants you dead be worthy to be call your uncle. He is.....
IDEHEN:
Wait mother(he cuts her short). He must be the one that conspired with Iro to kill father.
