Chege

I am the father of Waiyaki. I am a descendant of our tribal ancestors. It has been my duty to prepare my son for his role as a leader of our people. I am a well-known elder. Some people in my village say I have the gift of magic. Others say that I am a seer of the future. Our tribal god, Murungu, spoke to me in a dream. He told me of the white man and what will come of our people. I will tell what appeared o me in my dream….this is my responsibility and my calling, but the people may not ehar me.
