In this village, shooting arrows is one of their biggest cultures. At age 18, it was required of you to shoot arrows and hit target or DIE. But when the son of the most prominent man is unable to aim at target, fear surfaces.
It all started many years ago in a village very far from you and I, where people lived happily and love was the biggest language. In the morning, women and children fetched water while the men cooked and waited for their family to come home. Children played in the market square while parents laughed and made love.
What seemed like something that would last forever, unfortunately did not. The village was attacked by a nearby village. Hundreds of men, women and children were killed...their resources were taken and they were almost used as slaves. The only thing that saved them was a man called Zulu, he was a fighter, he shot his arrows towards their enemies.
Zulu climbed the biggest tree and aimed at anyone who crossed the border. He stayed awake for five nights, watching over his village while the King offered food and shelter for his people.
When the war was over, the King gathered the people of his village and gave Zulu a high position in the village as his second hand. He blessed him and gave him immunity over any rule of the village. The King also made a very mandatory rule that all villagers must be able to shoot arrow immediately they are 18 years of age, meaning that they should already be training at a young age.
Years passed, and Zulu became sick. The villagers feared death. Zulu's love, Telu, was pregnant at the time he was sick. One night, labour kicked in and Telu was rushed to the midwives of the village where she gave birth to a baby boy. As the boy was burn that night sun shined across the village, forming what seemed to be a tiny rainbow close to the sun. This had never happened before. Also four snakes died that night mysteriously. While Telu was holding her newly born baby, very tired, hungry and in serious pain from all the labour, she heard that her husband, Zulu, was dying. She begged them to take her to him where she laid there with him still with blood on her hands, he held his son, smiled at him and held Telu's hand, saying, "Telu love, take care. Our son would be different, I see it in his ...eyes. Allow him to be different." And he died.
That day was a very sad day for the people, there was loud cries and intentional starving. The King was hurt, they tried to quietly bury him because they dare not let the neighbouring village know that their biggest fighter is no more.
