Am the fastest in my land, the only one who has perfect shots on arrows, my spear throwing techniques are impacable, am the best herbalist one can find, am the strongest among warriors, am good at trap making and setting. After my father was attacked I turned my rage into a strategy to train and seek revenge. I am well built and to say am a woman is evident. My hips are broad,my chest is well endowed and my backside is fleshy. In my own way I am a woman an African woman, although am grown I have not had my first bleed I think it is because of the vigorous training I do.

I am thankful to the gods since they spared my fathers life although he's weakened am grateful that I can see him. I have walked from village to village finding a cure to his immobile body but in no avail. Along the way I got to learn various poisons that I use to lace on my arrows. I walk with the venom of the deadliest serpents and insects. I got to train with scorpions and centipedes that now am immune to their bites and stings. I learnt of different plants both dangerous and ones that are edible. I inherited my mothers sight although its not very clear.

Today is cha-cha a class for all the females who turn into womanhood. It teaches about the virtues of a good woman, the qualities of a good woman, how to clean,cook and even stay in a homestead. Fatya is the teacher she's an elderly woman who according to the elders is the most experienced. I hate the classes since they are quite boring, girls would sit for hours listening but I would prefer a run with the impalas,buffaloes, the royal cheetah, mamo and her kids. Speaking of mamo she gave birth after two full moons her babies were quite healthy. I made a well protected ridge for although she's old and never admits it she is quite a catch when mad. The royal cheetah was brought as a cub and a symbol of peace offering from the vango community but in my eyes my father deserves more.

"Princess Nayeka are you paying attention? this are lessons that will help you build your home unless you want to be one of the male species?" Mayemi exclaimed. She's one of the teachers and she hates me, because I spoke up when a suitor came for her. She's what we call chenyo a woman who is loose woman every warrior praises her for her agility in bed and she is my number one critic although negatively.

"Ahhhh! you know am not paying attention so why ask, haven't you had enough humiliation that you sit here and teach us on virtues of a good woman,you spread your legs at any chance you get, at least in hunting I will come back with bush meat for my father while you wait on the warriors and reward them on what you are supposed to hold dear? Are you not being a hypocrite?" I retorted.

Mayemi is my older sister although she may not be my number one fan I respect her unless she crosses her boundaries then I get defensive.

"Child hunting is fun for you but do not forget that you are a woman, you need to learn about this it may help you and also entwine you with your feminine side" fatya said."Today i want to teach you how to pleasure a man. A man is like the firewood you put in the fire place it's inserted in between the stones, you are the stones. A bad positioning of the stones makes it difficult for air and the wood to make fire and similarly poor positioning of the firewood only wastes the fire. Too much firewood burns and a little of it never makes the fire Cook properly so my children depending on the size of firewood at a point they all make fire. Never look down upon your man because of his wood but because of the fire he makes. When a has barks you turn to the softer side similarly a change of positions can make enough fire to satisfy you.

These are the lessons in cha-cha. When I say I prefer adrenaline activities they think am foolish I don't see why am subjected to this torture just because am female. I think my future husband will not have a problem explaining anything to me. I know all the basics that is,cook,clean and care,what happens on our bed will depend on our agreement since am not one to submit. I hope that he's has more patience than I do.

I held my head in my hands and doze off only to be pulled in my visions one that always haunts me. It always starts when am at the river banks and the rain is pouring on my skin and a figure appears on the water but its never clear.
