From a very young age Mr.Awolo had believed in the power of mediation, he had been brought with mentality that a sound mind is equal to a sound body and he stuck with it. So therefore it was sad when he was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder known as Leukemia. It was a abnormality/ genetic mutation of the red blood cells that cause them to be excessively created by the bone marrow and affect essential organs in the body. The doctor had told Mr.Awolo that in 6 months, his organs would fail on him. This broke his heart but he tried to weather the storm and cheer himself up. He had gone into intense mediation since he had the news until one day something happened.

Mr. Awolo laid in a field, the sound of shouts of men woke him up and he couldn't believe his eyes. He was in the middle of a battlefield, two armies clashed with each other, the army on the right wore bright red armor while the army on the left wore white armor (they looked abnormal like zombies) and they protected a creature that looked very ugly at the top of a hill, the creature looked like a huge white tiger with 9 tails. The creature also had a crown on its head and anything it let out a scream, it would produce another soldier in white armor. The sight was unbelievable, this battlefield was Mr.Awolo's immune system. His body was trying to fight the cancer, they wore red representing his red blood cells and the creature was the cancer producing abnormal white blood cells.

A horseman in red ran towards Awolo picked him up and put him in the pack of the horse. They rode to a camp behind the battle ground. Inside the camp another queen sat on a chair and produced a red soldier after every 3 minutes. This queen was Awolo's bone marrow that keeps on producing red blood cells. On the table there was a map of the battle ground, they had to make a plan to kill that beast on the hill because it was after the red queen, she could produce as many soldiers as before, with every minute she grew weaker. "We are here, we need to be up there so that we can strike the beast where it really hurts' ', the soldier said. "I can kill it if I am given a chance to come from above the creature", Mr. Awolo said. Due to his experience in the army, he was not a novice when it came to warfare. The soldier looked at him with a reassuring nod and told his men to get Awolol an armor and a sword. After some time Awolo stepped out from the tent with bright red armor with a helmet in his hands. A bird-like creature waited for him outside, it was a chemical messenger or an enzyme used to carry messages around the body. He mounted the beast and put on his helmet and took off into the sky.

The Awolo's beast got him as close as it could to the beast on the hill, till he jumped out and fell under the influence of gravity. He pulled out his sword and screamed on top of his voice, as he landed on the white beast and pierced its skin with his sword. It let out a loud cry and fell to the floor. Mr.Awolo immediately woke up and discovered that he was alone in his room. The next morning he went for a scan in the hospital, it was so unbelievable because the cancer was gone.

The End.
