There is an ominous sense to the night. It is dark and filled with danger and the unknown. The dark night adds to the tension of Agbala, the Oracle, who has come for Ezinma.
The night was impenetrably dark. The moon had been rising later and later every night until now it was seen only at dawn. And whenever the moon forsook evening and rose at cock-crow the nights were as black as charcoal.
