Hello world part 2

"The ceremony is approaching, it will be an opportunity for us to strike a big blow at the competition. You are the least talented in terms of Konga than the others but you have an intelligence and a dexterity rarely seen."

"Matondo (thank you) Aba, it was especially thanks to you that I was able to progress so much"

The old man hardly seemed to react to his flattery apart from his smirk which only faded when it was punctuated with words.

"That's why I insisted that you teach at the academy because he who knows knows. But he who teaches knows twice." said the Elder.

The baobab had been deserted and only the two men remained below it. One teenager and the other very old. These baobabs punctuated the area where the village was located. For anyone who knows the baobab, it is a sturdy tree, an iconic symbol, it signified the wisdom and experience acquired over time. And it was no coincidence that the lessons were given underneath it.

"Malamu petit na ngayi, we are not going to say everything here because the trees have ears. The Geto is a formidable adversary, a monster without any ounce of humanity. It is because of him that our people are found to live in the mountains and completely deserted the forests. But it is also from him that our vigor comes through the ritual of Boma yé when we take his life away from him. " The old man continued

All the young elites of the village were going to participate in the ceremony which was more of a hunt than a ritual. The competition was tough even with a common opponent, everyone wanted to gain a grip on their neighbor. It was quite normal that each of them had been sponsored by a village elder as it also served to show the next generation potential. Those who were destined to occupy important positions in the village.

Malamu who had less Konga than the others found in this elder a sponsor who did not stop investing in his training. In order to help his family malamu had to pay him just by doing the best performance at the ceremony.

"Meet me in 3 days at mama Bololo's Nganda, we will discuss more fully and I would have a gift to offer you" As usual he ended his sentence with a smirk.

Note: Nganda is a place were adult come together, you can see it as a bar but it is much more in the culture. If you know you know.

'The Boma yé ceremony is an opportunity for me to make my mark on people and participate in the rise of my family. I was born to prosper, not to survive. The ceremony takes place in a week, I have two days before meeting the elder, and two more before the gathering of the other elites of the village. So I should take the opportunity to repeat my moves and draw my tactics. Once the ceremony is over I can finally make my mother proud. Boma yé here I am, I'm coming. '
