Sections (Navigate sections)
The sun was setting on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the land of Oyo and Ibadan. The two cities had been at war for months, and the final battle was about to begin.
The armies of Oyo and Ibadan had gathered on the battlefield, ready to fight for their respective cities. The two sides were evenly matched, and the outcome of the battle was uncertain.
The two leaders, Oyo's Oba and Ibadan's Alafin, stood at the front of their armies, ready to lead their people into battle. The two leaders had been at odds for years, but now they were ready to settle their differences once and for all.
The two armies charged at each other, and the battle began. The fighting was fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses. After hours of fighting, it seemed that neither side would be able to gain the upper hand.
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the battlefield. Everyone stopped fighting and looked up to see a giant lion standing atop a hill. The lion was the same one that had been seen in Oyo and Ibadan's dreams.
The lion roared again, and the two armies stopped fighting. The lion then spoke in a deep voice, "The curse of Oyo and Ibadan is now broken. You have both fought bravely, and now you must make peace."
The two leaders looked at each other in surprise. They had both been so focused on the battle that they had forgotten about the curse. Now, they realized that the lion had been sent to break the curse and bring peace to the two cities.
The two leaders agreed to make peace and the curse was broken. The people of Oyo and Ibadan celebrated their newfound peace, and the two cities were united once again.
The lion disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, and the people of Oyo and Ibadan never saw it again. But they never forgot the lesson it had taught them: that peace is always possible, no matter how difficult the situation may seem.
