The sun was setting over the twin kingdoms of Lagos and Ile-Ife. The sky was a deep red, and the air was still and heavy. In the palace of the King of Lagos, the King and his court were gathered in the throne room.
The King had summoned the court to discuss a matter of grave importance. He had heard rumors of a powerful curse that had been placed upon the two kingdoms. The curse was said to be so powerful that it could bring about the destruction of both kingdoms.
The King had sent out scouts to investigate the rumors and they had returned with news of a powerful witch living in the forest. The witch was said to be the one who had placed the curse upon the two kingdoms.
The King was determined to break the curse and save his kingdom. He ordered his court to prepare for a journey to the forest to confront the witch and break the curse.
The court set out the next morning, and after a long and arduous journey, they arrived at the witch's hut. The witch was an old crone, and she was not pleased to see the King and his court. She warned them that if they did not leave immediately, she would cast a spell that would bring about the destruction of both kingdoms.
The King refused to leave and demanded that the witch break the curse. The witch refused and said that only the gods could break the curse. She then cast a powerful spell that would bind the two kingdoms together, and the curse was broken.
The King and his court returned to the palace, and the two kingdoms were saved. The King declared a day of celebration, and the people of both kingdoms rejoiced.
The curse had been broken, but the people of the two kingdoms would never forget the power of the witch and her curse. They would remember it as a reminder to always be wary of the power of magic.
