Her mother was a stranger in Affa, wanted by two gods, one thirsty for her blood, the other her service. The battle between the gods came to an abrupt stop when it was discovered that she was pregnant; both gods then wanted her out of the village, far from the people, and isolation for her and her baby. They were denied the most natural and common desire of every creature, love. She grew and learnt to hate, and had only one desire in life and for that desire she lived- THE EXTINCTION OF AGU-AFFA.
