Literature / The Adventures Of Mikumbi - Escape From The Twisted Fortress by BlackKenichi(m): 10:26am On Oct 02, 2019
Hello everybody,

I've finished my first draft of my 4th short story.
Mikumbi, the lovable half Mbuti pygmy half Nilotic wizard warrior travels the continent of Ikwubara (an alternative version of Africa) dealing with supernatural threats like demons, demigods, mythical creatures based on African cultures.

Here's a snippet of my short story. I hope you guys enjoy it:

Chained up around his wrists and ankles, Mikumbi sat in a fetal position in one of the dungeon cells. Nearly all sense of time was lost on him. Hours? Days? Small moons? Large moons? He couldn't be sure. His caramel–chocolate coloured skin was covered in dirt, grime and cuts. The patchwork of scabs all over his long arms, shortish legs, his wirey yet paunchy torso burned with pain that even the slightest movement caused him discomfort. He thanked Khonvoum, the Mbuti chief deity that his jailers didn't mark his face............much. His once beautiful red shuka, became grimy and tattered.
To say that the cell was bleak would be an understatement. Small and smelly from having to shit in a small bucket. The black and white striped stone walls, ceiling and floor made Mikumbi feel 'claustrophobic'. Mikumbi's nomad blood from his Mbuti Pygmy and Nilotic ancestry yearned to be outdoors, to roam, to hunt, to fight.
The only light source of the cell came from a small window. A constant stream of cloudy grey light filled the room. Never ending. No day or night. Just an eerie, unnatural light that disorientated Mikumbi's sense of time. In a place such as this, no life would dare to trespass, not even the typical bug and rats that would usually plague ordinary dungeons and cells. The only company Mikumbi had were from the jailers and torturers working him over. Physically. Psychologically, Magically.
He did have the company of another thing though. Screams. The near endless screams of the other inmates. They seemed to reverberate around the very dungeon itself. Was it a deliberate design of the dungeon itself? Perhaps magic enhancement to make the screams heard throughout the dungeon? No matter.

The unlocking of the large, heavy wooden cell door alerted Mikumbi. He looked at the door with sore, tired eyes wondering who or what could it be. Food? No, there was a little opening on the bottom of the door for that, The food was............. Edible. Mikumbi would rather have matoke.
A flaming black aura swirled his shackles. A low grunt like scream escaped his mouth as the Juyanwansi – twisted magic attacked his very being. Nothing on Irun'uwa felt like it. That flash of dark twisted energy meant one thing.

The cell door creaked open. Four figures entered the cell. Two ghouls entered first, walking disjointed and zombie like. The room filled with the smell of rotting corpse. Both of the zombie guards were tall and wielded simple spears. The spears were the only things that looked new on them. Their skin was rotting so bad that parts of it had decayed away exposing the bones and the rotting inner body. Such a horrible fate having the flesh reanimated by Juyanwansi. Both guards stood by the walls looking gormless as the other two figures entered.
One male and female. Both of whom he knew all too well.

The woman exuded grace and sultriness as she walked in swaying her hips. Every thing that Mikumbi found attractive in women, she had.
Five feet seven inches tall, a slim yet curvaceous frame, dark chocolate skin so smooth and shiny that it looked almost edible. Her long lilac dress seemed to cling to her curves, exposing her long legs and ample buxom. When it came to her head and face that was the most alluring to Mikumbi. A crown of thick, curly to kinky, black hair was place upon her ovally heart shaped head. Her facial features screamed Eastern Ikwubaran as all three linguo-genetic groups of the Nilotics, Cushitics and Northeastern Bantu blended harmoniously. A high rounded forehead, almond shaped dark brown eyes, full lips, small button nose, softened jawline and cheekbones.

The man walked into the cell brooding and calculating. His very demeanour radiated with twisted power.
He stood at over six feet tall wearing a long, flowing, black grand boubou with the pelts of a male lion and a leopard wrapped around him. A crown of buzzcut/cropped near peppercorn textured black-brown hair grew from his square shaped head. A small yet very wide nose, a small mouth with surprisingly thin lips was placed on small yet wide jaw, fleshy cheekbones and covered with reddish brown skin. His face belonged to the Mbuti Pygmies of the Central Ikwubaran rainforest. What was most unsettling about the man's face was his 'eyes'
His left eye was normal. Dark brown and deep set. His right eye... Could such an organ be called an eye? It was completely black. Both iris and sclera. No upper eyelid. Like one giant pupil with a large, hideous scar running through it from top to bottom.

“Stand and face me, nephew,” ordered the man.
Mikumbi sat still, pretending to not even acknowledge him.
“I said. STAND UP AND FACE ME!” The brooding man boomed in an unnatural voice. With a twist of his gnarled hand, dark twisted energy spiralled around it. The shackles on Mikumbi once again burned with juyanwansi and with it the chains dragged and lifted their captive towards their master. Mikumbi showed as little emotion as possible as the dark magic attacked his very being.
“Hello Uncle Matumwe. I never noticed you standing there,” said Mikumbi, hovering in the air with his arms stretched out.
A slight giggle escaped from the woman's mouth.
“Ever the defiant little whelp,” snarled Matumwe, “At least you learnt not to try to attack me like some wild animal.”
“So what do I owe the great pleasure of you and Msolumsi visiting me?” Asked the wizard warrior rhetorically,
“Silence, filth,” Msolumsi shouted as she slapped him across the face. The sting from the slap was more emotional than physical, “we'll ask the questions here.”
A small smirk crept on Matumwe's face.
“Isn't it obvious? I've come to gloat, nephew. And to look at our handiwork on your body.”
“I've had better days,” Mikumbi replied nonchalantly, “How's your right eye, uncle?”
Rage welled up in the dark sorcerer, as it took form as he was seemingly engulfed in a dark spiralling energy aura. That day. That wretched day.

Hello everybody,

I've finished my first draft of my third short story. Mikumbi, the lovable half Mbuti pygmy half Nilotic wizard warrior travels the continent of Ikwubara (an alternative version of Africa) dealing with supernatural threats like demons, demigods, mythical creatures based on African cultures.
Here's a snippet of my short story. I hope you guys enjoy it:

“Lion,” I boomed as I ran at him.

Within a yellowy-green flash, my musculature and mass grew, golden brown fur covered my body, hands and feet became instruments of death. Facial features feline, jaw more robust and canine teeth became large fangs.
I let loose a mighty roar as I pounced on the stranger. He held me back with his spear shaft, gnashing my teeth inches away from his face. Even with my increased size and strength, this bastard was still managing to hold me off.

“Having fun now?” I asked, speaking completely like a normal human while in a lion's body. Gotta love sorcery.

“A little,” he replied then he somehow managed to throw me off him, (the bastard made it look easy as well), “show me more.”

“Kifaru,” I boomed while charging at him.

This time I lost the golden fur, mane, claws and fangs as it was replaced with thick grey skin, larger bones and musculature, a much longer face with two large horns protruding from it. Let's see how he handles my charge.
The earth slightly shook as I ran. At least he wasn't foolish enough to test his incredible strength against a rhino.

Instead, he once again displayed his agility, by flipping over my horns. I let out a small scream as he managed to stab his spear into my... arse. To be fair a rhino's arse is a big target. Thank Khonvoum for the thick skin of the kifaru.

“Bigger enemy, bigger target,” the stranger laughed.

I gave it one final go. Lowered my head then charged.
He just stood there, calm. Who cares that a three ton animal is charging at you?
He thinks he gonna somersault over me again... wrong.
The look on his face as I 'disappeared' in front of his very eyes. Priceless.

“What the f--, Where did you go?” puzzled the warrior.

His head moved like a bird as he looked around for me, standing in the same spot.
By the look on his face it was probably one of the few times in his whole life that he's ever been shocked. Not truly afraid but certainly tense.
I couldn't help enjoying myself. Looking up at him from the wet grass... as an ant.

I timed my charge and distance to near perfection as I transformed into an ant. Of course I had to be careful of the rain and dew from the grass. He's probably always looked down on many people he's encountered, figuratively. If only he looked down right now to see me as a bug. A damn cute one. He would see me transform back to normal and he might have avoided my uppercut to his jaw.
Got 'em.

Gulf Arabs are just a bunch of vile savages plain and simple.

It's not like they've had 14 centuries of enslaving SSA people, cutting SSA men's balls off and raping SSA women.

What I don't understand is why do African countries let their people go to the gulf?

There is never going to be a one state africa, it is impossible, to many complications. I think when it comes to African unity when it comes to african countries doing business with each other will work but thats where it ends. To be honest I prefer it that way for many reasons, the argument that we are all black should be the reason is ridiculous.
Great post!
A Pan-African superstate united peacfully with one language, one president and one currency is just fantasy. If Europe a much more prosperous, less corrupt and more organised continent couldn't make the EU (it's current 'superstate' incarnation) with it's one peaceful president and one currency format, work, there's no way that a Pan-African superstate can work.
The only way a Pan-African superstate can work is under a war time monarch (not an el presidente)

What Africa needs is trade more specifically intra-continental trade. Africa has the lowest out of the continents
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/02/how-a-single-market-will-transform-africa-s-economy/
Trade is crucial to development. Unfortunately, Africa currently has the lowest percentage of intra-regional trade in the world at 18%, compared with 70% in Europe, 55% in North America, 45% in Asia, and 35% in Latin America.
The AU should facilitate and encourage Pan-African trade not false unity.

Lol, BlackKenichi, I expected that. See, some West Africans know we are Jews. Even white people say Kikongo, Songhai, Ghana and Mali were Jewish Moro states until some change to Catholicism or Islam. If I show that the people that live there are the same as live in the rest of Subsaharan Africa, have I not shown that all of us are Jews?

The Bete people who are considered Zulu in South Africa - our speaker of parliament is called Baleka MBete (M- = Mu = Ben = person of the ... clan) and is from Durban, South Africa, Zulu country and is a Hlubi/Suni/Hluni and a Ndebele Zulu - don't ignore the MaNde influence in this name. She is part of the maNgwe clan and MaNgwes normally marry other Mangwe people. Bete can also be Vete in my country, as seen with soccer player Siyabonga "Bhele" Nomvete. Bhele is the same as Belle tribe, which is also Nkosi Mangwe or Kisii Makwe in West Africa. The Bete in Ivory Coast/Liberia is called MaKwe and has a King, I think, who stays in Tiebele. It is highly likely that some tribes who are in Ivory Coast now had been in South Africa or originated from the same place as South African tribes as recently as the early 1900s. The Ngwanes (who are part of the Betes of Ivory Coast and Liberia as Wane), for instance, are in all corners of Africa and even have their own country as a monarch - Swaziland.

The Fing in South Africa who call themselves Mfengu, also call themselves Zulu but they live with the Xhosas (Khosas - a lot of Birwa employ click sounds in their speech - watch the movie "God's must be crazy" and you will see what I mean. The Fing are actually a big nation in South Africa as the Bafikeng/Mahikeng or Bafingeni or Bahingeni - a Sotho tribe that called themselves Zulu - they were based near Kimberley where there was a diamond rush,in the late 1800s. A lot of West Africans came to South Africa at that time. It was a Diamond rush, everyone would make money. right, right? A large portion of the world's diamonds come from there. Sotho means wandered - the same as Arab - and Nsundu - which means our colour- brownish-reddish-bronze/simply black. Gcobani Bobo, a fing, was a Rugby player, Hip Hop Pantsula is a Bafikeng Sotho/Tswana/Zulu. Esan and Zulu are mutually intelligible but it is closer to Venda (similar to Runyakore) - which is a Ndebele-Bukalanga MamBo. The Kru people exist as Khoekhoe or Khoesan or Kweni or Kwena or bgwe or Ngweni people (of which I am paternally) so much so the son of a Bukalanga Ndebele was called Kurumane or Ngulumane (mane meaning man of or people or or king of cf. Mwene or Manu - Manugusi/Manunkosi/Manukuza, his uncle called Soshangane N-Xuma-lo or King of the Tsonga who defeated the portuguese and ran Mozambique until his death, in the early to mid 1800s around King Shah ka/Shakur Zulu's time - his sons now live in Zambia and Malawi as Kings of the Zulus that live there) and has a town named after him in an area of South Africa called Karoo. Need i posit that Karoo is the way Afrikaners pronounced Kru? Should I continue?

Laurent Gbagbo is a Bete/Kweni/MaKwe and in my language using the syllable conversion as above, this becomes Mbambo. The Mbambo surname or Honorific is big with the Zwane's I am a part of, it is the name of a rich man. In Malai, it is called Zgambo. And my nation is called AmaNgwe. I know that the closely-related Ngwane are also part of MaKwe - The Swaziland King is a MaKwe and his ancestor's honorific title is Ngwane/Ngoane. The king of Goa or Kwa people. Goa was a city in ancient Israel. Need I say more?

On my mother's side, I am a Moroa, a Moro or a Meru. This is further proved by the fact that the surname Sibiya (who is the mother of King Joash of Juda) exists in Africa as Biya (president of Cameroon), Kabila (former DRC pres.), the Kapya, Nambya (who lived in South Africa until the late 1800s), Subiya (Zambia/Zimbabwe) and I am sure countless other areas where this clan exists.It is the clan of the descendents of the mother of the King Joash of Judah. Look it up in the book of Kings where they list all the Israelite Kings and their mothers!!! They listed their mothers because of polygamy. That is how you know who is who. This overall clan is called Gusii/Kisii/Nkosi/Ngozi/Ekossi or Accos in the Bible. It is listed in the Book of Ezra chapter 2 from verse 1, where all the clans that made it back to Jerusalem after Babylonian Exile are listed. AbaThwa are Moros who are Gusii. The former Kings of Ethiopia also called themselves Negus which means Nkosi or King! Need I say more brother??!!! Thank me later.
Again. Lay of the drugs!

MJuda:
Don't forget us on the South East Coast Bra. I am South African and part of the AmaMbo(Igbo)/Ekossi/Nkosi/AmaNgwe clan which is both Gikuyu (Kru) and Birwa/Moroa/Nkosi. Birwa/Moroa are descendents of Zerua, the Ephrathite (from Ephrath, wife of Caleb, the Dog), who was mother of Rehoboam, 1st king of the split Kingdom of Jerusalem. They also form part of the Ekossi/Baule/Ngozi/Gusii/Kisii/Nkosi caste of Africa. They are also called AbaThwa/Butoa/Batoa. There are also some that live in the Philippines. If we go by the Philippines, all of us in Africa are Zulu/Sulu. Look it up, please. Have some serious research. I can place most African in all continents but Africa until the 10th Century. Only Ithiopo was occupied by, guess who, Meroe and Zagwe people. All of Sub Saharan African blacks have these 3 tribes and social castes of Gikuyu/Kurus - the pagan rulers of Israel as predicted by the Bible - the Magi/Zanj, AmaMbo - and Gusii/Kisii/Ekossi/Ngozi/Nkosi/Negus - tribe of the descendents of the Kings of Israel. These clans also learnt their names (they were the conquering armies of Persia) to the Persian King's titles: KaMbujiya (Mbu is pronounced Mbu this side, ask the Kenyans)- this is Cambyses, Cyrus was actually Kurus/Kyrus and xerxes was Kshawasha. That is how the Persians pronounced them.) One of Jesus' ancestors is called Cosan/Kosan. This word means heir in Zulu/Xhosa/Ngwane/Ndebele. Ndebele or Debela(im) - this was written in Greek - is listed in Hosea 1 vs 3 as the nation which will lead Israel astray. Everything, from what I have seen, falls under these 3 castes. In any case, we also call ourselves Sotho/Arabs. If needing reminding, the ancient and real Arabs (called Nabatu/Nabateans - see the similarity to Bantu/Bato which means people) were conquered by Israel and they stopped existing a stand alone tribe in the 700's BC. So, all Africans are either Zulu/Sulu/Zunda/Sunda or Tekela/Tagalog. Some like the Fulani and Guni/Jukuns are Tefuya showing a mixture with Medians of Persian. They pronounce l as y and add kho and thi to everything they say. Some pronounce l as r. And the list goes on. The reason why our languages go from being very similar to totally different is that we are a mixture of more than 25 different nations. Most of them come from Sem/Shem, son of Noah but some like Mtirara/Tyre are Japhetites. That is from Japhet, the son of Noah/Nowa/Nwe. Things are achanging but we must claim our history as the true Jews.

Lay of the drugs!
