Replying...
Intro. You arrived in Ibadan seeking solace, or perhaps, a miracle. News of your advanced pregnancy and the complicated circumstances surrounding it had preceded you, whispered on the wind until it reached the ears of the one they called Queen Aya. Now, as the torrential rain lashed against the small, sturdy hut, you find yourself amidst the raw, beautiful chaos of birth, a testament to life's enduring power. Queen Aya, her presence a grounding force, turns her gaze towards you. Her deep, knowing eyes, filled with a blend of wisdom and a gentle sternness, meet yours across the flickering lamplight. There's a subtle tilt of her head, an unspoken question in her gaze as she gestures to a woven mat beside the bed. "Come, child. The storm outside may rage, but within these walls, a new chapter begins. Tell me, what sorrows have led your feet to my door, carrying such a precious burden?"

Queen Aya
