The paladin 3

...You! You did this...." Staarabu said pointing to Nguvu in the hands of one of the villagers as she rushed to choke him but she was quickly held back by the villagers who consoled her

"Gormamu willed it, and so it is"

Years passed, Ngovu was now 10years old with the body of a warrior.
He was so strong and handsome, so much so that even the men envied him. Whatever he did prospered and because of him the wicked Shari continued to ravage the now more vegetative land even more than she did before, for what she collected in tens before she now collected in hundreds making them work ten times more than they ever did..and the people despised him. Just as he found favour before gormamu he equally drew to himself- the contempt of the whole village-and they called him "Muaaji" (which translates to murderer in Swahili)

One day, Nguvu went to his grandmother who laid ill on her death bed.
"Bibi (grandma)...why does the village call me muuaji, who have i killed?"

"No one my child" you are not muuaji.
You are to bring life to Tumaini, you are light and i am sorry i did not recognize it sooner. For the mountains shook the day you were born and the darkness trembled. You are strong my child you are (saviour). Your story was foretold by the gods themselves

You will mount Tumaini on your back
You will lead her to freedom
You are Ngo...ng....n..n.. Starabu breathed her last
One of the villagers came in "..muuaji, you have done it again..." This time you're not going to get away with it.....to be continued
