Story of the gods

They came out slowly and steady with eyes popped out, at this moment, i knew the gods had arrived. The two at the front were holding bamboos, much thinner than the likes in our forest and pointed it at us, swinging it from one direction to the other, pointing it even to guards hanging on tree branches and too astonished to conceal themselves any longer. Some guards who couldn't resist the urge to wait for the blessings from these gods, threw all caution to the wind and made mad rush at the gods. The three gods without bamboos ran back to the floating house while the remaining two with the bamboos, blessed the approaching guards in a loud bang who fell to the ground, smoke meandered it's way through the tip of their bamboo, what a blessing for these two. Other guards ran towards the gods as more blessings came out in loud bangs, more guards fell and i heard the Oba shouting that he should be dropped, he wasn't going to miss these blessings for the world. I came out of my hiding too and was about going to receive mine when my dad grabbed me and drew me back. I heard him shouting to the Oba and every other guard to stop and raise their hand, he shouted that these guards are getting killed not otherwise. Explaining further that these are creatures like us and are only defending themselves by killing those who they presume is coming to attack them, he faced the gods with his hands up and he wasn't blessed like the rest, one of the gods raised his left hands too while the right still held a bamboo pointing at us, that is when my people for the first time, listened to Ozinomeme.
