《The Curse》ACT TWO SCENE TWO
Advertisement
Professor Fayemi's sitting-room that same night. Enter Ibiye, his wife.
IBIYE: It is a few minutes to midnight but my husband is yet to return from the office. He has left me marooned in this lonely house like a sailor shipwrecked on an uninhabited island, leaving me alone with my thoughts, my hopes and anxiety which every woman feels in the absence of her husband. He did this knowing full well that I have no child to comfort me in these long hours of waiting. Why does my husband behave so unfairly? Why does he go out with the crowing of the cock and return home in the dead of the night? Is it because I'm barren? Is it because God hasn’t answered my prayers yet? Ha, what won’t I give to have a child that I could call my own! A baby that I could nurse with love and feed with the milk of my ripe breasts. What won’t I give?
(She sinks into a sofa and begins to sob. Enter Fayemi, takes a look at his sobbing wife and
hisses angrily.).
PROF.: What is it, woman? Why do you disturb the peace and tranquility of my house with cries of lamentation and sobs of despair? Have you no respect for place, time and environment? Why do you rend the peace of this occult hour with your loud, senseless sobs?
IBIYE; (Wiping her face hurriedly.) Forgive me, my husband. When loneliness presses the hopelessness of my state upon my senses, I can’t but give vent to my sorrow in sobs and tears. But why do you, my husband, leave our home with the crowing cock only to return with the roosting fowls?
PROF.: (Bursting into anger.) You barren fig tree that is covered with green leaves but yields forth not a single fruit! You shameless hag that hides the disgrace of her nakedness in expensive attires of lace and soft silk. You cursed of all women, whose womb cannot yield forth anything but emptiness and frustration. Who made you the timer of my movement? Isn’t it enough that I put up with you, hopeless woman? Isn’t it enough that I have to accommodate such a luckless woman as you in my house? What is it that you want? Am I not the owner of my time, and am I not allowed to use it as I like? Why must I leave frustration in the office only to meet despair in my house? (He turns towards the door.) Good night, woman. I leave the house to you and your senseless sobs.

8 189Slave 53: The Phoenix
Azgarth is a violent Warlord from a planet where everyone feared him, a man that never lost a battle whether it be from his enemies surrendering or dying. After entering a wormhole, this once infamous man had his memory completely wiped. He was enslaved under the name 53. The great comet arrived one day and gave 53 an extremely rare animal aspect, the Phoenix. Having a rare animal aspect puts people on the fast track to power in this world. Will 53 show the same brutality as his former self? Author: So there will probably be a lot of changes when I start hashing out the whole classes and what not. I'm not planning on this to have statuses or anything like that, but when people 'lvl up' is probably going to be something like ascending 1, 2, 3, etc. With each ascension they are many times stronger, for example, someone who hasn't ascend at all would be at 0, but someone with a 1 would be about 5x stronger than someone who is 0 and so on. It would take a long time to reach each one. With the red colored marks which represents fire, I have a couple ideas with what I want to do, in a way a battle royale, as this continent they are on isn't very large, but all four elements are on it (or more, I might add light, dark, and some others) but all the humans have red, while a different alien race has blue (water), brown (earth), and grey (Air). The color of the mark they have influences how they feel about each other, a example of that would be if a red saw a brown, then they would naturally feel a disgust about each other, and if they killed someone from a different color they would gain way more life essence which is needed to ascend than they would killing someone from their same color. The last thing, I'm not too sure about the main character yet, as I like the whole idea of a memory wipe, I almost think it'd be more entertaining to have the guy slowly regain all his memory, then just becoming his normal self again. If that's the case I'll have to change the title of book. The original idea was this guy would keep the name 53, and his prior self named Azgarth is sharing his body, as in he can talk to him and give him advice on things since he doesn't want him to die since he is sorta like a split personality sharing the same body. Looking at it now, idk if I want this guy to be named 53 forever. Warning: A lot of dark content in the book, especially in the flashbacks.
