Chapter 190
Ikenga realized there were a few factors that proved that Panacea wouldn’t survive the child birth but he could have at least tried to prevent it in some ways, yet he completely accepted and saw her death as something normal.
Right now as he is contemplating on what he could have done better, there was no feeling of shame, regret or anger "Mother really is right, I really am a being who no longer functions on something being morally right or wrong" Ikenga thought to himself.
Turning back to his attention on the will, Ikenga asked if he could see the pocket dimension. Like a worker eager to show their skills to their boss, the new will opened the door which Ikenga peeked through.
Once Ikenga’s sight landed in the dimension, his attention was immediately drawn to his previous home, around his home were treants moving back and forth minding their own business. Another figure that got Ikenga’s attention was Wardenwild who can be seen sleeping with his eyes closed and birds perching on his huge horns.
An overall sight of the small dimension made Ikenga understand while it was called the wild. Towering trees stretch their leafy arms towards the sky, creating a lush canopy that filters the sunlight. The realm somehow was able to get sunlight from Crepuscular. Birds flew between branches, their melodic calls echoing through the tranquil air. Squirrels dart amongst the undergrowth, their bushy tails trailing behind them as they play hide and seek among the roots. Butterflies dance on the gentle breeze, adding splashes of vibrant color to the serene landscape.
Ikenga noticed that most of the animals here are weak magical creatures that will have a hard time surviving on their own, for example a sloth can be seen sleeping comfortably in a wooden crafted hammock.
Further sight presented Ikenga a sight or people he can said to have forgotten but clearly haven’t forgotten him. "Are those the primates who were once part of my son’s family?" Ikenga asked to which the will answered, confirming his doubts.
A part of this dimension seems to have gotten under the control of these primates and they did their best to remake this part of the forest to resemble their long lost home. As Ikem and his group of apelings advanced, the more the primates were left behind and their number diminishing as most primates were coupling with apelings.
For this not to happen, most Primate after careful consideration with Ikem left their home which has now become a well known shrine and the best institution for cursed apelings. This group that left somehow made their way to where Ikenga’s previous home was and after conversing with the two treants and their origin the primates were allowed to stay and live with them.
