I just had a vision. Its nothing spectacular..simple really. But i don't understand its significance . "yet"

I was sitting on my favorite chair, reading a boring treatise on healing, with the sun setting idly. It was a nice view, the best really from on top the pyramid of orba , i must have drifted off when i suddenly heard a scratching sound, a little bit to my right. on top the coffee table on which were kept various fruits,

I heard the scratches again. I couldn't see anything, except for a faint outline buzzing at the edges of my consciousness. Immediately i noticed that. I decerned a ghostly rat eating something with the resemblance a spilled brain.

Just the shock of that alone snapped me out from my stupor and the scene disappeared. That was when the real screaming started. "the fulani's have reached my secure heaven at last. If only i knew my travails were just starting.

That's what I've kept telling myself even till now. They were fierce unforgiving warriors who could wait years to avenge slights. But that isn't even where my story starts.

"dammit"

I've lost track of the year and time I'm going to have to start over with the introductions.

Hi, I'm vcente 8 years ago, precisely on 16th birthday, the fulani herdsmen raided our village, it was a long time coming. we were caught unawares, they didn't come for loot. They came for revenge, i only lived because i was deemed to small to remember and because they needed hands to carry everything valuable they could lay their hands on.
