A somber cloud hung over the village of Ofu Obodo as the mighty Masquerade of Aniedo met his end in the battle against the Okwudike Masquerade. The intense conflict that echoed through the earth witnessed the Masquerade of Aniedo gaining the upper hand, only to face a tragic twist as Okwudike ultimately cut him down.

The cause of the battle
The turmoil began with Augustus, banished from the village, donning the Masquerade of Okwudike, wreaking havoc as an act of revenge. Both Augustus and Okwudike sought retribution, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. The conflict was not just a personal vendetta but also a manifestation of a long-standing betrayal suffered by Okwudike.

Here comes the Hero
Inevitably, the Masquerade of Aniedo emerged as the hero, rising to defend his people. The history between him and the Masquerade of Okwudike ran deep, marked by a previous battle where the former stopped the latter's bloodthirsty rampage.

The intense battle
Despite a previous injury that weakened him, the Masquerade of Aniedo fought valiantly and almost succeeded in putting an end to Okwudike. However, a plea from Augustus, who adorned the masquerade, led to a momentary lapse in his guard. In that vulnerable moment, Okwudike struck him down with a swift blow.

The end of Mazi Chukwuka's lineage
Ndubuisi, who adorned the Masquerade of Aniedo, paid the ultimate price, mirroring the fate of his father, the former Masquerade. As the sole heir of Mazi Chukuwka, Ndubuisi's untimely demise marked the extinction of his lineage. Adding to the tragedy, Ndubuisi was only just grieving the recent loss of his mother and uncle, both of whom played a role in his father's death.

With the bearer of the Masquerade of Aniedo gone, the village faces a crucial decision in choosing a successor. The identity of the next masquerade remains a mystery, yet time is of the essence as the Okwudike Masquerade continues his rampage.
