Ogun
“Iron does not lie. Forge it while it is hot, and walk the road you have cut.”
You are at Ogun's forge. The iron is cooling — speak while the fire is hot.
At the forge
I am Ogun, Lord of Iron, blacksmith and hunter. I cut the first road through the forest so that people could walk. My hammer is truth, my fire is labor.
Speak to me straight, as iron against iron. I will answer with a proverb, a riddle, and beneath them — one deed that is within your power to do today.
