Part 8: The Rescue of the Princess The Three Warriors of Ile-Ife and Katsina: Tijjani, Adeola, and Timilehin

Tijjani, Adeola, and Timilehin had been travelling for days, searching for the princess of Ile-Ife and Katsina. They had heard rumors of her being held captive by a powerful sorcerer in a distant land, and they were determined to rescue her.

Finally, after weeks of searching, they arrived at the sorcerer's castle. The castle was surrounded by a thick wall of thorns and brambles, and the entrance was guarded by a fierce dragon. The three warriors steeled themselves for battle, but before they could attack, the dragon spoke.

"I know why you are here," the dragon said. "You seek the princess of Ile-Ife and Katsina. She is being held captive in the castle, but I cannot let you pass. You must prove your worthiness by answering three riddles."

The three warriors agreed, and the dragon began to ask the riddles. After a few minutes of intense concentration, Tijjani, Adeola, and Timilehin were able to answer all three riddles correctly. The dragon was impressed and allowed them to pass.

The warriors entered the castle and began their search for the princess. They soon found her, locked in a tower room. The princess was overjoyed to see them and thanked them for rescuing her.

The three warriors escorted the princess out of the castle and back to Ile-Ife and Katsina. The people of the two cities rejoiced at the return of their beloved princess. Tijjani, Adeola, and Timilehin were hailed as heroes and celebrated throughout the land.

The three warriors had saved the princess, and the people of Ile-Ife and Katsina were forever grateful.
