WARNING!!
Though this book and the incident in it is a work of fiction. The names, characters, and places are not.
The author made use of his imagination to make a cocktail blend of fiction history and divine inspiration to make ready this perfection in the form of a book. Note that any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, could be coincidental or even entirely true since a huge percentage of the book is based on historical research which was mainly gotten from the internet, and whispers through dreams.

Author’s Note
ONE OF MY FAVORITE characters in this book of mine is Ijele, the son demigod son of Achara and Amadioha.
Ijele’s idea came to me very clearly just after I have finished with the first part of this Book. Ijele being a Demigod, and a descendant of Amadioha proved to be the finishing touch of this book.
Ijele's story starting from his birth to his quests and conquests was filled with actions and suspense.
I hope you’ll enjoy reading Amadioha’s story. It was a pure joy to write, and I find now that I’m quite so relaxed now knowing that justice is done to the Igbo legends. I think
I hope
they’re happy with the prequel that I gave them, happy that they had to choose me out of the uncountable Igbos to bring their names alive again. Although the vast majority of my research comes from books and articles, many came to me in pictorial vision.
I remember how it all began: in the dream, I found myself in a thick jungle, there I felt dehydrated, felt like I haven't had water for years, my throat was dried up. I scamper for water, panting like an athlete after a long mile race. Finally, I heard the sound of running water, so u ran in the direction, behold, it was a clean stream quickly I bent on my knee to have my tongue wet but before I could make contact with the water I heard my name, the voice was like the combination of so many musical instruments. As I heard my name I stood up and turned, but what I saw was indescribable. I saw fire in the form of a man with the head of a ram, and amid the fire was something which appeared like a fountain of water and there was lightning flashing all over him. The fire spoke to me saying "come and drink of my water of knowledge, the knowledge of your ancestors and you shall thirst no more".
Funny, what I just said is a tale.
