“The Day the Talking Mask Spoke My Name”

PART ONE — THE FEARED MASK
In Obollo village, there was a sacred wooden mask locked inside the shrine of ancestors.
No one dared to touch it.
It was said:
> “If the mask ever speaks, it speaks only to the one chosen — and that person’s life will never remain the same.”
For years, it lay silent, collecting dust.
Until the day of the masquerade festival.
---
PART TWO — THE STRANGE WHISPER
As the drummers played and the masquerades danced, a sudden hush fell over the square.
The sacred mask, though still locked inside the shrine, began to whisper.
Not in riddles. Not in chants.
But clearly, calling one name:
> “Obinna… Obinna…”
The villagers froze. Obinna, a poor orphan boy, stood trembling in the crowd.
---
PART THREE — THE CHOSEN ONE
Obinna was dragged before the shrine.
The elders demanded:
> “What have you done to awaken the mask?”
But the boy shook his head, weeping. He knew nothing.
The priest opened the shrine door.
To everyone’s shock, the mask floated from its stand and rested gently on Obinna’s face.
The drummers fainted. Women wailed. The chief fell to his knees.

PART FOUR — THE VOICE OF THE ANCESTORS
When Obinna spoke, it was not his voice.
It was the voice of many — deep, layered, thunderous.
> “You mocked the orphan. You called him nothing. But he is the vessel of your ancestors. Through him, I will lead this land again.”
The villagers shivered. For the first time, they realized the boy they had rejected carried the spirit of the very people who birthed their land.
---
THE GREAT ENDING — THE RISE OF THE MASK BEARER
From that day, Obinna became the Mask-Bearer — the one who spoke with the voices of the ancestors.
The same villagers who had mocked him now bowed whenever he walked past.
And every festival since then, when the drums began, the mask would glow and Obinna would rise — no longer the orphan, but the living bridge between the dead and the living.
