Black messiah

 Jangageer was a land far and wide where a child was born. He received a warm welcome with termites oil at dusk. Dark signified the bearer of the shield who would be known to none other than the inhabitants of the land. The child grew up under nobility as their noble King waited for sacrificial instructions from gods. They were reluctant. His dwelling was sacred, the house of the mighty one of Chiek who was Chiek like gods of Jangageer. His parents visited him yet none dined with him. His words were respected the words of the mighty one.
Once upon a time in his fifteenth age he sought permission from their noble King.
~ My noble King, he said. Knelt and skin covered his feet. Gods were silent respecting the words of the mighty one who prostrated respectfully.
~I need a walk eastwards, he asked, I see light every night so let me collect it for our good.
It was puzzling to the King before he made up his mind to call Oleere and all the elders. When the King ordered guards ran and as soon as the shadow moves they were displayed in  front. When the elders heard together with Oleere they agreed to let him go, so did the King.
Their King was not questioned in his reign. His subjects laughed loudly at the end of his speech as a sign of respect.

The following day, he would embark on a journey so he later climbed his horse and rode eastwards to see to that which had been disturbing him all nights. He wore leopard skin dirtified with termite oil.
Ten days were enough to finish his food. He switched to wild fruits. If he had been unlucky to get water, he drank urine.

One night while he had woke up on the branch of tree, he untied his horse. Their land was far behind and ahead he didn't know how sooner he would reach. He gave the little salt he had.
~Oh Joi, show me the way forward, he prayed, and let my horse graze. He went on the ride. Vegetation had changed. Reaching six o'clock was the time the horse stumbled, he fell off ; hurt. The horse ran back. He took a few minutes down and stood to walk forward. Lucky then, he heard a noisy sound ahead. He went closer hoping to find out who was there. He was a stranger cutting a tree with a noisy machine not even an axe. They met. He gathered strength to ask. " How can I help you?" said the stranger before he could.
They couldn't understand each other. They were dumb and deaf with their sign language. Three men who were guarding the stranger he met, were astonished about how they met.

As dark crept they got into a lorry to the family of that stranger, he came to know as Antipas. Antipas' father chased him out of his family and Antipas followed him. A stranger who has just known you to be friendly is better than that who had known you before. They lived that lonely life where whenever he felt like going back when the money was finished, Antipas had been getting money for their livelihood and to pay school fees meant for Chiek. Slowly by slowly Chiek came to know how to read and write. He had got revelations that education and the new religion Antipas kept on telling him were that light expected of him.

A few years later Abenego was ill. He was taken to various hospitals which could not help him at all. By the time Antipas came to know about it he let Chiek know it too. They then went to the hospital together but to make things good Chiek had to remain outside. Abenego blamed sickness on him as the causative for he had never been ill before Chiek arrived.
Antipas got symptoms as was the cause of their visit and they moved to the wild forest. In that forest they could not recognize anything, so Chiek urged they drove to their forest. It was easier then  for them to get the herb they wanted.

Chiek prepared the herb to be syrup like, bottled by Antipas and took it to the hospital. It was like the bottle was just opened when Antipas gave it to his Father so that he might not reject it. "Where did you get it?" Abenego asked first.
" From Eden mini clinic," he responded to his father.
" Eden mini clinic?" he asked doubting. " How effective will it be?"
Every one who was there wanted him to try taking it. Chiek was outside waiting. He began taking the drug which was properly filtered to look like it was from a chemist.

Days passed and Abenego got better and after all recovered. It was then that Antipas disclosed the drug was made by the boy whom he chased. He was happier to welcome them back home. That's where Chiek finished his education. Abenego who had been longing to see the land where that intelligent boy came from got a chance to ask Chiek to show them way to Jangageer, a land he wanted to know. They got prepared and embarked on a journey: Chiek showing them way.

On reaching, the King was relieved to see Chiek back. It was surprising then that he was called by another name John they didn't know. Frequent walk to the palace to disturb the King was stopped while they all awaited the sacrificial ceremony Oleere and elders wanted.

There was the ceremony organized. Their neighboring King was invited with his soldiers. Banga Kingdom was that led by King Banga.
The ceremony commenced.
Oleere who had cheated even Chiek's father was there to kill him with magic ahead of the crowd and the visitors. King Banga, Abenego and his son were amazed to hear that a person like Chiek would be sacrificed.

Then King Banga stood, his soldiers paraded.
According to their rule of shooting in air before their King spoke, a bullet landed on Oleere's  forehead: he was flat-dead. King Jangageer was shocked: dead.
Elders were helpless.

And so the King spoke his wise words not in Banga but in Jangageer. "No land should be without a King," he said. " Let John be crowned." People chanted. He became King of Jangageer land. He united with King Banga of Banga which was a Christian Kingdom. Christianity reached Jangageer then. Abenego extended his company to Jangageer. Antipas became the manager who lived in the palace. Chiek was called King Jangageer and his subjects only chanted at the end of his liberal speech not laughing.
