Do you know where we are? Do you even know when we are?

You just woke up?

How could you have been asleep for so long? And so peacefully silent, at that?

Hmmm…..

Well, I’ve been waiting to tell someone this story and since you are the first person to ask me since before the war, I’ll tell you about Mizigo: Land of the Laden.

In 2024, your people took back their land. And rightfully so, I might add. So much power they had acquired that your country is now the United Land of Amen-Ra. Many of your people fled before the Great War and I guess that’s how you got to Mizigo.

But your people’s liberation became our people’s captivity. Bonding us with classism and something you call “colorism”. Over the years, the oppressed became our oppressor. And you have chosen to wake up in the middle of a Civil War. Your timing is not so perfect.

But welcome to your new home. Mizigo is south of the Great River Zengi and is. laden with vegetation and animals. Just as it is laden with riches, food, land, resources, and water. So is it with evil and dark magic they call coucoo. Coucoo is everything! A society, dark magic, a space, time , everything. And coucoo leads the way to the road of destruction.

You seem confused. I’m sorry that everything you know is gone. That your comfort and contentment was just a dream. It is a new world. The meek have inherited the Earth. It is 3005 and we are still standing. We are still kings and queens. And we are still our own worst enemy.

Take this gourd to the creek, fill it with water. Fill your lungs with the fresh air and quench your thirst. Come back and I will tell you about Afua, the warrior princess from O’Gatoi.
