Campus Fellowship
Episode 1 – 2

CHAPTER ONE
(Monitoring spirits)
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Thus says the Lord God of host! It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass! Ayayaya Brethren let’s hold hands together now. The devil is in deep trouble tonight!”

The powerful voice paused for some seconds as the group formed a nearly perfect circle. Then he continued.
“For He disappointed the devices of the crafty, so that their hands shall not fulfil their enterprise!”

The young man leading the prayer session, shook his head violently as his voice thundered mightily into the otherwise quiet night. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead. His clothes were already dampened with so much sweat, that they clung to his body.

“We will never be tired, brethren please pray!” He said as he burst further into tongues.
They were all students, and members of the same non-denominational fellowship on campus.
Bro Moses, who was the prayer coordinator, had called for an emergency prayer watch that night, after he had a stirring in his spirit that something strange was going to happen in the fellowship.

Fire was everywhere. The atmosphere became tense with the Shekinah Glory of God. If one was permitted to see deep things, some were levitating in the Spirit already.

“Welcome Linda, you may rise.” Queen mother waved her trident of power at the young girl in a bowing position before her.

“With the way I urgently summoned you here from your dreams in such a frenzy, you must have figured that there is fire on the mountain.”

“Indeed Queen mother. I reported here in a second. I sensed all was not well.” She affirmed, tilting her head up slightly, to behold the ruler of her province in the Marine kingdom. The fearless and terrible woman that showed no mercy to the children of Light. Linda had been chosen by Lucifer himself to bring down any sincere church that genuinely proclaimed Christ. And this woman gave her the missions and the unquestionable orders.

She had a tight grip on her trident with her right hand. Without her trident, hair and crown, she was just a woman in her late two hundreds, who looked not a day over fifty.
The Queen’s first son, Haman, who was also Linda’s fiancé, stood at her left, looking distraught.

“We received disturbing reports few minutes past midnight, that there are some strange group of young people, students of Adeosun Adetiloye University, in the south region. Our agents reported that these young individuals have been brewing trouble for them, and making life unbearable.”

“Adeosun Adetiloye, in Iwolo community?” She sounded dazed.
“They have been busy spreading and sharing the good news about ‘the One whose name we dare not mention’, to the people of Iwolo community, thereby liberating them.” The Queen mother continued as the young girl stared on.

“They have gained more grounds than we can allow. They disrupt the activities of our agents at night too. The people of Iwolo have started burning their books of curious arts, and casting all their charms into flames.”
“These strange people must be stopped!” Queen Mother finalized angrily.

“You need not to speak any further, my Queen. I would like to engage in this mission. How difficult could they be?

“You speak as a child.” Queen mother shook her head, eyeing the young girl with pity. “Here is a glimpse of what you’re about you get yourself into.” Queen mother clapped her hands thrice and a mirror appeared on the wall.

After some seconds, the mirror became misty and images of people began to take form on the mirror.
Belinda watched in awe, wide mouthed at the sight before her. She had never seen anything like it. They all had their eyes closed and were speaking in strange tongues she could not understand. Some of them were suspended in the air already, as their feet were no longer in contact with the ground, defying gravity.

She got envious and angry. After all the dangerous trainings she’d gone through, she was yet to get to the level where she could levitate at will. Now here are a bunch of riffraff speaking nonsense and behaving strangely. How old were they again?
“What does this mean? Queen mother, these people are very strange.” Linda stared on in bewilderment.
Her fiancé, Haman was the one who spoke up.

“They have no mercy for people like us. They are as bold as a lion, pulling down our forces and sending our agents to their early graves. They have powers that our agents can’t seem to comprehend. They have a shield of fire around them, so they are not susceptible to attacks of any form. They are simply invincible!” He blurted out in pent up frustration.
Linda had heard enough. “I can do it. Send me!”

“Are you sure you’re in your right frame of mind? Didn’t you hear what I just said?” He pointed angrily to the mirror “Can’t you see? Those set of people are brutal. They don’t negotiate with people like us!”
“Oh come off it Prince Haman!” She fumed. Haman’s domineering attitude was what attracted her to him at first, but now, it was repulsing.
“You should have known by now that I don’t back out of a challenge!

“Tone it down, will you?!” Queen rolled her eyes, having had enough of their quarrels. “We are in the middle of a crisis and you both are busy arguing like children?! Now is not the …”
She hadn’t finished talking and was about going back to her throne when the glass mirror they were staring at crumbled before their eyes, taking down the whole left section of the building with it. Panic-stricken, they all ran back a few feet, coughing and sneezing as the air became thick with dust and smoke.

Exchanging knowing glances, they didn’t need a soothsayer to tell them it was the effect of those strange young students, speaking in a strange language that had made a total wreck of the Queen’s palace.
Linda’s mind was made up… If there were any reservations she had about going on this mission, they were definitely gone.
