Three months after her first execution, Ayo stood in formation with fifty other warriors as Kpengla addressed them.
“Tomorrow, we raid,” the commander said. “Target is a Yoruba village, three days’ march east. Population approximately two hundred. We’ll take the able-bodied—men for field work, women for domestic service, children old enough to be useful. The rest we leave.”
Ayo’s stomach dropped. She’d known this was coming. Every Agojie participated in raids. It was how the kingdom maintained its wealth, its power, its ability to trade with the Europeans for guns and ammunition.
But knowing it intellectually and standing here being assigned to her first raid were different things.
Kpengla continued. “You’ll move fast, strike at dawn, minimize casualties among the captives—damaged goods bring lower prices. Take heads only if necessary for intimidation or if they resist violently.” She paused. “This is not combat training. This is business. The kingdom’s prosperity depends on successful raids. You will conduct yourselves as professionals.”
She dismissed them.
Ayo walked back to the barracks in a daze. Nala fell into step beside her.
“Are you ready for this?” Nala asked quietly.
“No.”
“Me neither.” Nala’s voice was tight. “I keep thinking ... my village was raided when I was little. I watched people I knew get taken away. I never saw them again.”
“And now we’re the ones doing it.”
“Yes.” Nala was quiet for a moment. “Does that make us evil?”
Ayo didn’t have an answer.
That night, Kessie found her sitting alone near the weapons rack, cleaning her machete—the one she still carried, even though she now also had the Nyekplo.
“Can’t sleep?” Kessie asked.
“Thinking about tomorrow.”
“Your first raid.” Kessie sat down beside her. “It’s different from execution. Different from training. Different from anything else you’ve done.”
“How so?”
“Because the people you’re taking aren’t condemned prisoners. They’re just ... people. Living their lives. And we destroy that. We take them from everything they know, sell them to traders who’ll ship them across the ocean or march them to other kingdoms.” Kessie’s voice was flat. “We do this so Dahomey can buy guns. So we can be strong. So we can survive.”
“Does that justify it?”
“No. But it explains it.” Kessie looked at her. “You’re going to see things tomorrow that will make you question everything. You’ll see children torn from mothers. You’ll see men who fight to protect their families get cut down. You’ll see people begging for mercy that won’t come.”
“How do you live with it?”
“I tell myself it’s necessary. That if we don’t do this, Dahomey weakens. If Dahomey weakens, we’re vulnerable to other kingdoms, to the Europeans. That it’s us or them.” Kessie paused. “I tell myself that. I don’t know if I believe it anymore.”
“Then why do you keep doing it?”
“Because I’m Mino. This is what we do. This is what we’ve always done.” Kessie stood. “Get some sleep if you can. Tomorrow starts before dawn.”
She left.
Ayo sat there, holding her machete, wondering what kind of person she was becoming.
Wondering if she’d recognize herself in a year. In five years. In twenty.
Day One - The March
Fifty warriors. All female. All armed. Moving through the forest like ghosts.
Ayo marched near the middle of the column, her Nyekplo folded at her belt, her machete at her hip. Around her, senior warriors moved with the easy confidence of women who’d done this hundreds of times.
They camped that night in the forest. No fires—they were close enough to enemy territory that smoke might give them away. They ate dried meat and millet paste, drank from canteens, slept in shifts with sentries posted.
Ayo lay on the ground, staring up through the canopy at stars, listening to the night sounds of the forest.
Beside her, Nala whispered, “I don’t want to do this.”
“Neither do I.”
“Then why are we?”
“Because we chose to be Agojie. And this is what Agojie do.”
“We didn’t know it would be like this when we chose.”
“Would it have changed anything? Would you have stayed in your village, married whoever your father picked, lived that life?”
Nala was quiet for a long time. “No. Even knowing this, I’d still choose to be here.”
“So would I.”
They lay in silence after that.
Day Three - Pre-Dawn
The village appeared in the gray light before sunrise—a cluster of round huts with thatched roofs, surrounded by fields. Smoke rose from a few early fires. People were beginning to stir.
The Agojie surrounded it in silence.
Kpengla raised her hand. Waited.
Ayo’s heart hammered. Her hands were slick with sweat on her weapon’s handle. This was real. This was happening.
Kpengla’s hand dropped.
They attacked.
The Agojie poured into the village from all sides, moving fast, weapons ready. Screaming started immediately—women, children, men waking to find warriors in their midst.
Ayo followed her unit leaders, moving toward the center of the village. A man burst from a hut, carrying a spear. He saw the Agojie, raised his weapon.
Ayo’s training took over. She closed the distance, deflected his thrust with her machete, got inside his guard. Her blade found his throat. Arterial spray. He fell, choking, drowning.
She’d killed him in three seconds.
Not an execution. Combat. He’d been trying to kill her. She’d been faster.
She felt ... nothing. Just moved to the next threat.
A woman ran past, carrying a child. An Agojie warrior tackled her, wrenched the child away. The woman screamed, fought, was struck down. Not killed—they needed her alive for sale. Just beaten unconscious.
The child, maybe four years old, screamed for its mother.
Ayo looked away. Kept moving.
More huts. More people. Some fought. Most ran or tried to hide. The Agojie were methodical, efficient. Drag out the adults, sort them—strong ones bound for captivity, weak or elderly left behind. Children over age six taken. Younger ones left with the elderly.
Families torn apart with brutal efficiency.
Ayo helped bind a man who’d been subdued. He was maybe twenty-five, strong, a farmer or laborer. He’d fetch a good price. He spat at her, cursing in Yoruba.
She didn’t understand the words, but the meaning was clear.
She bound him anyway. Added him to the line of captives.
Moved to the next hut.
Inside, she found a woman hiding in the back, holding a small child—maybe five years old, a girl. The woman saw Ayo, pulled the child closer, whispered something in Yoruba.
Ayo stood there, machete in hand, looking at them.
The woman was maybe thirty. The child looked terrified but wasn’t crying—in shock, probably. They looked at Ayo with the same expression the execution prisoner had worn.
Not hatred. Not anger.
Pity.
They pitied her. The woman with the weapon, the power, the ability to destroy their lives. They pitied her.
An older Agojie appeared in the doorway behind Ayo. “What are you waiting for? Bring them out.”
Ayo looked at the woman and child one more time.
