Shamen and Elephant Mother pt1.

Nsansi's hunger grew to pain. Here was the rest of her tribe. They were dead and dying of hunger and dehydration. This was the land that used to be the place where Nsansi and her husband grew together as children. Now it seemed that Liza had turned his back on them. He had scorched the land and forced them to travel to places out of their home. It was believed that Liza was angry with Judaf, the village chief and Shaman, for boasting that he was far more powerful than Liza. At first, Liza started with the vegetation. He dried out every thing to eat. Killing anything that could grow. Then, he scorched the land from ever baring any kind of vegetation ever again. and to this day the land is still unbearable and unlivable. It was Judaf's son who died first, then every child and mother. The fathers of the village were the last to die. Before they did, tied Judaf to a stake and after stoning him; burned him alive. The only two left was Nsansi and her husband, Baru meaning Big lizard. Nsansi has always been strong. She was blessed to have never been sick. Nsansi was beautiful and had chosen for her husband, the biggest most gentle man in the tribe. As the rest of the tribe died out for the sins of the Village Chief, they burned everybody until it was only them. Nsansi and Baru had began to journey out of their paradise into the dry lands killed by Liza. It seemed Liza had shown how far and wide Judaf's ego had killed. Nsansi began to suspect that Liza would kill every man and child and now was torturing them with their survival. But she would never say that aloud and began to ask Liza for forgiveness of her small and simple mind. At that moment, A large elephant approached Nsansi and her husband. the elephant, massive in size, leaned down to them inviting them to ride. Nsansi took this as a sign from Liza that she was forgiven. She felt the presence and received the message. I am here carry you into a new land. Nsansi, with all of her bravery let the elephant's trunk lift her to it's back. Baru followed.
