In the heart of the Batang empire in Africa, thirty-something Babida, a rugged lumberjack, unexpectedly finds love with the stunning eighteen-year-old Suzie during their first encounter in the Ekule forest. This marks the beginning of an epic romance between the two. Initially, the young Suzie is taken aback by the towering and brawny woodsman. Believing she's alone in the brush, it catches her off guard when Babida, the lumberjack, calls out to her. Not feeling comfortable around a stranger-especially one who might be a stalker-she quickly ends the conversation and walks away. However, things take a turn when Suzie learns about Babida's heroic past from her maternal uncle. Suddenly, her perception shifts, and admiration for him begins to blossom. She discovers that the man she initially pushed away is actually a celebrated hero, a force of nature who bravely defeated the fearsome Monster of the Forbidden Mountain more than a decade ago. This terrifying beast was a monstrous bird, towering ten meters and weighing around twenty thousand kilograms, which threatened the Batang empire and nearly brought destruction, even to the imperial palace. At the time of this danger, little Suzie was just a three-year-old child. It was Babida, full of courage and determination, who stepped up to face the beast to save their land...

Chapter 1 Prologue (1)

"Oh Oluwa, god of the forest, what a stunning maiden I see in the grass over there!" Babida, the lumberjack, exclaimed as he took a break from chopping wood. The reason for his sudden pause: a slender, dark-skinned girl, around eighteen, with curly hair, holding a basket brimming with mushrooms in her right hand. Her name was Suzie.

She'd been sent into the woods by her grandmother-affectionately called big momma-to gather mushrooms for dinner soup.

With her back turned, Suzie was completely focused on her hunt for the white Button species, sorting through her finds. She tossed aside the ones that could make you sick and carefully placed the good ones into her rubber basket for the elderly's favorite dish.

As she bent down to pick more mushrooms, the hem of her pink silk mini-dress shifted upward, revealing more of her smooth, hairless legs. The dress was tied at the waist with cords, creating an adorable butterfly knot at the front.

Babida, mesmerized, felt his brief pause stretch into an endless moment of fascination. The steel ax he'd gripped tightly for the past two hours slipped from his hands and landed in the pile of wood shavings at his feet.

"Hey there!" he called out, his voice booming through the quiet woods.

The sudden shout startled Suzie. She turned around, her eyes wide and her left hand pressed against her chest, before letting out a deep sigh and taking a step back.

Before her stood a tall, sweaty man in his thirties, his muscular frame on full display in the afternoon sun. His chest was as broad as a mountain, and his bulging biceps were lined with distinct veins.

"Who are you?" Suzie shouted, panic creeping into her voice.

"What are you doing here?" she added, continuing to back away.

"Sorry, Miss! I didn't mean to scare you. Please forgive my manners!" Babida replied, his tone softening.

Unsure how to react to his peaceful demeanor, Suzie decided it was best to leave.

"Anyway, I'm going now," she said, quickening her pace as she headed back through the brush.

"Wait, please! Can I at least know your name?" Babida called after her, offering a bright smile.

"Why? I just told you I'm leaving! Didn't you hear me?" Suzie shot back, then took off running, her basket of mushrooms clutched tightly in her hand.

Babida reached out his arm to stop her, but it was too late. The beautiful stranger had disappeared into the forest as quickly as she could.

Feeling a wave of disappointment wash over him, the woodsman clenched his fists and let out a frustrated scream.
