Well done, blessed daughter, blow for me. Azima, are you well as you watch the flour we will use for the porridge?" She smiled and said, "I'm fine, Hajja." Hajja shook her head, knelt down, and entered the hut. Aziza, after Hajja entered the hut, closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they turned red. She opened her mouth and blew smoke into the stove, which then caught fire. Azima went to the flour, opened her mouth, and was about to add seasoning when Baffa greeted them. She quickly closed her mouth, and they all responded to Baffa's greeting, welcoming him back. Hajja came out, also welcomed him, and spread a mat for him to sit on. Aziza fetched water for him, and they all sat down.

After Baffa drank the water and sighed, Hajja asked in Fulani, "Baffa, is everything okay with Azima and Aziza?"

"Everything is fine. This village has been established for over fifty years. We've struggled with spirits and witches, but now the calamity facing this village is too much. Where is that famous snake catcher, Ilu Mai Macizai?" Hajja replied, "Yes, I know him. Who doesn't know Ilu Mai Macizai?"

"Well, he was killed today." Hajja exclaimed, clapping her hands, "Oh my goodness, Jamila, even Ilu Mai Macizai has been killed?"

"Yes, and he has been buried. All the snakes caught don't match the bites found. Now, suspicion is growing among the people. The village head has sent a letter to Jarman Macizai. Do you know him?" Hajja held her chin in thought and said, "Jarman Macizai, isn't he from the Jimo village?"

Baffa replied, "Yes, he is. He has agreed to come tomorrow with a special potion for everyone to drink, which will reveal who is not human among us. You know there are suspicions about Azima and Aziza, that my children are not like others. That's why this test will be conducted." Azima and Aziza were frightened, looking at each other without their parents knowing their condition. Azima's eyes turned even bluer, and she saw her skin turning blue. She quickly got up and entered the hut, followed by Aziza. Hajja said, "Just because the children don't interact with others and their eyes are not black, they want to target my children?" Baffa replied, "But you know there's also talk of marrying them off. According to our tradition, children are married off at 11, and now Azima and Aziza are 15. We have to keep an eye on them since we refused to marry them off. Ardo keeps reminding me." Hajja shrugged and said, "God help us, but marriage is a matter of time." She got up to check on the porridge water.
