Thesaurus entry; the raid

"Jump Hadiza, Wayanma will be proud," The vibrant voice of Haruna sternly pleaded.
He stood from his chair and violently stepped backward turning suddenly to face the on rushing oriza.
"You cannot ask her to jump, it doesn't feel right." A restless Haruna gave her a stern look.
"How dare you question my authority, Audu is no more here, same as Wayanma and the rest. How would they have varnished if not for the failures of all of us and the lack of service of a few like her. She is to be blamed for Wayanma disappearance, she must redeem herself."
"You should at least pity h..."
"Haruna, Oriza, it's enough, I will jump." Hadiza wouldn't wait for their reply, she rapidly ascended the cliff and with a daring effort she leaped off it, but she missed the platform. She rammed into the under-log of the platform. She slid through its muslin floor and then she lost control, leading to her fall. The fall always being the result of failed attempts, the show of weakness.
Everybody watched in horror as she fell off view and heard as she screamed off in horror. Oriza razed off towards Haruna.
"You think Wayanma will forgive you for this if he ever returns, or his spirit if he fail to return. You think, now that you have the power you can abuse it, Or get drunk or mad over it? You just..."
"Shut your mouth and listen, she decided her fate not me. I didn't force her to jump. I only told her that honour begot she does. May the gods bless her soul. She at least died in honour; unlike the lot of us cowards that stand alive."
"Tell that to the kids she left behind. Audu is not yet dead and so I remain the women’s leader. I shall protect them from your irrational rulings."
"Why are you two rumbling over a mere misfortune, the deed is done, how do we move forward?" The woman and man turn to look at the standing Abdulahi who just spoke.
They both sat back on their seat, "Abdullahi, I need you to come with me, let's work out a plan. I have a feeling they will return, we must be ready. Oriza, prepare the stronger women for our return. The two men stepped into the elders' hurt.
After a couple of hours the men returned, they were about briefing their men of their plan when they heard noises. From the corner in front of them appeared the rogues from the mad clan again. "They are back for the rest of us, fight we must, gather your weapons." As soon as Abdullahi shouted the command everybody rose to their feet. Even supposed leaders were trembling, the scare of the on rushing madness was destabilising enough. Soon the men returned with all sort of steel weapons, axes, cutlasses, swords and other steel edges. They clashed with the approaching men, blood for blood, and strength for strength. Soon the mad clan started gaining ground as Haruna's men began to fall. They started retreating seeking to seek refuge in the gloomy belly of Daura forest. However, they were startled when the mad clan stopped attacking, they started retreating and from the cliff side came screams of horror, and Hadiza was standing there with a league of others, indignant, vicious, and effectively spilling blood.
"The gods favour us", she screamed as they slash through the retreating clowns that attacked them."
They pursued, pressed and ensured they retrieve their men.
