CHAPTER 10: ZIZIRE - THE REBIRTH

PRESENT

Oil lamps mounted on bamboo sticks illuminate the village square and cast a golden glow on us whilst elongating our shadows, the night would have been quiet had it not been for the humming of the chief priest who has managed to still look fit despite his old age with only a head full of grey hair and a grey beard which give away his true age.

As I kneel before him almost being drenched with coconut oil which has replaced the blood that would have been poured on me had there still been animals, I cannot help but wonder if I am up to the task.

After many years of training, it is finally time for me to set out on my journey and fulfill my destiny; to walk in the path carved out for me. Everything I have done in the past couple of years has led up to this.
