Marcia woke up in a cold sweat. She felt as though she'd had a nightmare but she didn't remember having a dream. She recalled what Amafu had previously told her. What had she meant by Anu? She had said an Anu had killed Romalio. Marica wanted revenge.
She opened her eyes. They had remained closed as she was thinking. It helped her focus on her thoughts. She leaned over on her side and was startled to see that Amafu was sitting on a chair by her bed.
"I see you are awake," she said as she put down a book she had been reading. It looked old. Its leatherbound cover was tattered and beaten and the pages didn't look much better.
"Y-yeah," she said. Caught by surprise by the woman's sudden answer. Having, in the few seconds, woken up a bit she quickly blurted out "Who's Anu" A look of surprise passed Amafu's face. "You really don't know anything, you poor child" Marcia was a taken aback by being called a child. It had been enough time since anyone had called her that.
"You don't even know your own heritage do you, child?" Marcia didn't know how to respond to that question" Amafu sighed "How sad" she said "Well, I must explain it to you then. I must explain to you how everything began"
