Chapter 1 - A new Reality
"Ugh... My head hurts."
The young boy woke up, confused. The last thing he remembered was walking through the streets of Nairobi—then a blinding light rushing toward him.
Something felt... off.
"Where am I?"
The room around him looked shabby, a far cry from the fancy apartment he was used to. The roof could barely be considered a roof, animal skins littered the floor, and what he was lying on wasn't even a bed—just some straw strung together.
The air was thick with the scent of burning wood and something... earthy. The straw beneath him was itchy, poking through his thin clothing. He shifted uncomfortably.
Outside, he heard the distant pounding of drums—rhythmic and ancient—blending with the murmur of voices.
Then suddenly—
"Khisa!"
A young woman burst through the door—well, more like curtains. She was beautiful, dressed in animal skins covering her top and bottom, adorned with intricate beaded jewellery on her neck and hands.
"Oh, my dear boy! How are you feeling? You had a really bad fall."
