It is never too late for anyone to discover his/herself in life. Discovering this talent of writing makes me feel elated...
About 18 years ago when the uncommon incident happened in the island, one of the
Dangerous animals living in the desert has entered the island, it stayed within the center of
The island for about seven days, during which period the people could barely go out, the
King of the island has issued out warning through the town criers that the people should
Stay within the confines of their compounds until solution be found to the dangerous animal
Who hath came with its children into the midst of the island. However, some people who
Thought they were powerful ones, ignored the counsels and the warnings of the king of
The island as they went out, obviously to face the animal and they were killed. About three
Of them were killed, and the dangerous animals feasted on their bodies. While this was
Happening the King and the chiefs-in-council deliberated for days on what to do about
The unwanted visitors which have penetrated the island. After series of meeting, with no
Headway through because the chief hunter of the island was among the people that the
Animals have killed. The priest was contacted who after consulting with the gods told
Them what they need to do and the animals would return into their base, in the wilderness.
They did prepared some things which were taken to a selected portion within the island at
The midnight, and the smell of the sacrifice provided was the one perceived by those
Animals which made them left the island as the gods have stipulated, but they could not
Perceive the odor until the third day after the sacrifice has been placed at that position.
It took them another, two days to leave the island. After they left the island, the chief told
Them according to what the gods have said that they should leave the desert of the dangerous
Animals alone for a decade, that after a decade, there would be solution to the animals. Thus,

A command was issued out to those who used to go to the island to desist from going to
The island for a decade. Since the people know what had happened, they complied with the
Orders of the leaderships of the island. However, during the time that the animals entered the
Island there was a woman who was pregnant, and she delivers her baby, who is a baby girl
Three weeks after the animals have left the island, her father was one of those killed by the
Animals. At the end of a decade, the people of the island have ignored the wilderness
Completely and they are making do with another thing, as civilization has brought into
The world. There has been repeated revelations from people of the island about the
Wilderness that there is a portion of land within the wilderness where pearls could be found
Those who have entered the place at a time or another could testify to this, including the
Father of the baby as he used to tell his wife before his demise, and they have stated that they
Have plans of going into the wilderness to get the pearls for if they can get the pearls, the
Story of the island would change and they will stop being a dependent country for the
Pearl itself, is enough to be source of income for the island for generations to come, thus,
They had gathered themselves together and have been undergoing series of trainings on how
To penetrate the wilderness, combating with the dangerous animals there with one hand,
While others would be working on the sites of the pearl to get the thing mined and for
Exportation they had been promised wonderful things by the leaderships of the island if they
Could achieve that for the island, for their names would be in gold, and they would be
Honored above their peers. They were on this when the animals entered the island, as if they
Had known what the people wanted to do, and they have come to try them and the people
Have failed since they have been killed by those animals.
