the kind of beauty that made men forget their own names her skin was as smooth as freshly
pounded yam her eyes sparkled like Morning Sun on a river and her smile could melt even the hardest
heart every man who saw her wanted to make her his wife and every woman wished she had inm's
charm it was that the gods had poured all Their Blessings into her inim was of marriage age but
in a beauty was not enough to get a good Suitor to marry you a woman needed good character a strong
family background and the favor of the ancestors inim had all these and more yet something strange
just kept happening every man who came forward to marry her either fell ill or disappeared before
the wedding could even take place at first people thought it was a coincidence the first suor was a
young man named EMA EMA was a wey pal oil Trader he had already paid half of in km's bright price
when one evening while relaxing at home after a full days work he just collapsed in his home
when a nurse was called he complained of a strange weakness as if his strength was being sucked away
the nurse gave him some injections and asked him to rest but by the next Market day he was
gone vanished his brother who was the last to see him said he was resting when he last saw him they
searched the house the streets even the bush but nobody could find a Mecca and no one could explain
what had happened to him the second if was a well respected young farmer he had always liked in C
and with a mea gone he approached inm and told her he wanted to marry her inm agreed and ifan
he told his family to start the engagement process of visiting inm's family his parents were elated
because inkim was a bride any man in the village would love to have they visited her parents and
asked for inm's hand in marriage inm's parents accepted and they were engaged however IFI fell
ill 3 days after announcing his engagement in C it started with just a simple headache but by the
end of that day he could no longer work without feeling dizzy one day he told his father that he
wanted to take a walk to get some fresh air his father told him that he needed to rest but he
insisted on taking this walk his father watched him as he walked away and that was the last time
anybody ever saw epine again he too disappeared Without a Trace his brothers gathered The Village
youths and they searched their Village as well as the surrounding Villages but it was as if the
Earth had swallowed the whole he had vanished his mother was inconsolable if was her favorite son
everybody felt sorry for in K losing her second fiance but nobody thought it anything to do her
they all thought it was just a wild coincidence but some people had started to talk don't you find
it strange that these two young men that have disappeared were both engaged to in cam Mama
NSU whispered to her husband one day as in Kim walked past Mama Nomo was not the only one who had
that thought as other people had noticed the sad coincidence and then came CH the brave h H he was
different he was strong determined and not easily frightened he wanted to marry Kem when the elders
warned him about the fate of inm's previous sus he laughed I am not afraid he said thumping his
chest I have faced wild animals in the forest I am CH the hunter what could possibly happened to me
even his parents and siblings tried to dissuade him his mother was even crying saying she did
not want to lose her son but CH was adamant and he told everyone to leave him alone The Wedding
Date was set and both families started preparing for the wedding however three nights before their
wedding choke woke up screaming he told his family that he had seen something in his sleep a dark
place filled with Whispering voices calling his name they said I should not marry Kim he gasped
his body drenched in sweat they said she's not what she seems his parents tried to console him
telling him that they would visit the debia in the morning for some consultation slowly Chi calmed
down and went back to sleep but by morning Chi was gone he was no longer on his bed and no one had
seen him leave the news about Chi's disappearance shook the village three times in a row was no
longer a coincidence now even though inim clearly had nothing directly to do with The Disappearance
of this man they all had one thing in common they were all engaged to marry her before they
disappeared and that was enough to put two and two together that morning The Village was in chaos
ch's mother was crying profusely while his father called the elders to an emergency meeting they had
to do something about in cem and her disappearing suitors where was mea if and now CH what happened
to them did someone take them the elders called for a meeting of all the adults and youth inim
and her parents were also there but when she was questioned she claimed not to know anything and no
one had answers but people were already talking some beli that inim was costed others whispered
that she was being protected by a jealous spirit that did not want her to marry maybe she even had
a spirit husband who knows nobody was happy and ch's mom was heaping cures onm poorm she just
stood there in a corner weeping quietly while all this was happening there was this young man
named obora he was a simple man and not rich not a great warrior but he was wise and very
observant CH was was his best friend and having lost his best friend to inm's mysterious C he
was determined to find the truth one evening obora decided to visit in km's home he found her sitting
outside weaving a basket she looked up at him and smiled oh Bora what brings you here her voice was
as gentle as the evening Breeze OB sat down beside her I want to know the truth in km in km blinked
her hand still moving over the basket the truth about what about why every man who wants to marry
you disappears do you not wonder about it do you not care her fingers trembled slightly but she did
not stop waving I care obora but what can I do I am just a young woman obora watched her closely
there was sadness in her eyes but there was something else was it it fear OB wasn't sure but
he did not get much from him K that day that night Oba went to visit the oldest woman in the village
Mama ADI she was a very old woman and she had lived through many seasons than anyone else in the
village OB reckoned that she would know something since she knew all the village hidden secrets Mama
OB said as he sat down on the floor of her heart tell me what you know about in Kem Mama side
as she sat back on her chair I warned them she mummed I told the elders many years ago but no
one listens to me once them about what obora asked she looked at him her eyes filled with memories
in Kim is not like other girls she was not born in this Village she was found obora fr found where in
the Forbidden Grove mama said ob's heart pounded everyone in aqu knew about the forgiving Grove it
was a place no one entered the spirits were set to dwell there and any child born from that land
was considered a child of the unknown H thought a childless couple found her there m days continued
the had prayed for a child for many years and when they saw a baby girl lying under a tree in that
cost place they took it as a blessing they raised her as their own but the spirits do not give gifts
freely everything has a priz the hair on obora skin stood on edge what price he said m Da shook
her head I do not know but I do know this every man man who tries to marry her meets the same fate
it is as if something is protecting her something that does not want her to marry anybody obora felt
the old woman's hurt with a heavy heart he knew now that in kem's Beauty was not just a blessing
it was a trap but who or what was behind it determined to find answers he decided to follow a
different path but he had to know the truth truth if the village Elders could not help then perhaps
the spirits themselves would reveal the truth so with determination he went to the shrine of e the
powerful Priestess who had long passed away but whose name still carried weight in the dead of the
night obora crept into the shrine looking around to make sure no one was seeing him then he quietly
made an offering at The Shrine and he waited he did not even know what he was waiting for but he
was waiting for a sign then before he knew it the wind started moving fiercely through the trees and
the air became thick with something unseen he moved to a corner and bent down then he heard
a whisper she is not yours to take obor's blood ran cold who are you he asked fearfully his voice
shaking The Whisper came again this time it was closer she belongs to us she was never meant to
live among you every sutor who claims her pays the debt owed on her that was when the truth hit him
like a heavy blow obora now understood the spirits had claimed MIM as their own any man who tried to
marry her was unknowingly offering himself as a sacrifice to complete the bargain her parents
had made the day they took her from the Grove obora knew then that inim could never truly be
free if the spirit had marked her no human could break that Bond H it started to make sense the way
The Men Who Loved Her vanished the way her beauty seemed almost somehow unnatural it all made sense
now Kim was never meant to be married by any man she was never meant to stay as soora stumbled back
into the village his mind raised who do I tell will they believe me he thought of confronting
and Kim demanding answers but when he saw her later that evening laughing her hair catching the
last Golden Light of the sun his resolve wavered she looked so human so real but at the same time
she didn't belong among humans because the spirit had claimed her he had to tell someone that night
ubora confided in his closest friend Adam man she was the only one he trusted the only one who had
always sensed that something about him came was different Adam listened carefully her face growing
pale ASA revealed what the old woman had told him and what he had learned about at The Shrine when
he finished speaking she gried his arm we have to tell the elders she whispered obora hesitated and
what will they do will they cast her out will they harm her ad's eyes were wide with fear the elders
wouldn't let a spirit leave among go obora you know what they would do a deep fear settled in
obor's stomach he didn't want to believe it but ad was right the elders were Bound by tradition
if they found out that inm was not of this world they would not hesitate to read the village of
her no matter what it took Oba couldn't let that happen he liked in K she was nice so that night as
the village slept he made his way to in km's heart she was sitting outside watching the stars as if
she had been waiting for him you know don't you she said softly without turning as obora
approached her from behind obora felt his breath stop you know who you are and how do you know that
I Know M km nodded still staring at the sky I have always felt it the pool The Whispers In The Wind
but I ignored them I wanted to stay I wanted to be human obora knelt beside her his voice
breaking then stain came stay we will protect you MIM finally turned to him her eyes filled with
sadness you can't protect me from what I am you can't I need to leave or else more people will pay
the price I think it's enough Oba didn't want to accept it but before he could argue a sudden gust
of Wim swept through the village rling the trees shaking the roof trops the air grew thick child
with something ancient Oba was scared looking around but inim just sat still and then The
Whispers began soft at first then they grew louder Rising like a chorus of voices carried by the
wind it is time obor's blood ran cold he looked around but there was no one only the trees swaying
violently in the wind mm stood her face calm resigned they calling me she said obora grabbed
her hands no you belong here a tear slipped down her cheek I never did she leaned forward
and pressed her forehead against his goodby obora then before he could stop her she turned and began
walking obora watched her until she walked into the forest and disappeared the villagers woke up
to the sound of the Wind howling through the trees with a loud noise everyone was wondering what kind
of wind is this then they peered from their hor from their hearts and they saw her a lone figure
walking towards the Forbidden Grove her white rapper billowing like Mist in the Moonlight is
that not inm in someone called but she did not turn back by the time they rushed to stop her
she had already reached the entrance of the Grove op fell to his knees watching helplessly as she
stepped beyond the trees the moment her feet touched the sacred ground the wind stopped The
Whispers faded and then silence ukim was gone for days The Village remained in morning no one spoke
her name the elders suspecting something unnatural forbid anyone from stepping near The Grove and
nobody did but sometimes on quiet nights when the wind rustled through the trees the villagers swore
they could hear in G's laughter in the wind soft distant as if carried by the spirits themselves
but nobody could be sure what those laughters meant as fora if and CH they were never found
till this day and so the people of ATI never again spoke of inm but they whispered prayers
and shut their doors every night afraid that one day she might return the story of reminds
us that what is taken from the spirits must one day be returned and that beauty no matter how
enchanting cannot Escape that fate if you enjoy this story and want to hear more mysterious and
