Chapter 5: The Awakening
The discovery of the artifact stirred something deep inside Amina, something she had never expected. Her connection to the land, to the spirits, and to the power that had been passed down through her bloodline began to awaken. She started having dreams—visions of her ancestors, of women standing tall, their voices echoing through the wind, their hands reaching out to the earth. In these dreams, Amina saw herself not just as a girl from Ndomo, but as one of the Amani, a protector, a healer, and a leader.
But as her powers grew stronger, so did the dangers. She began to experience strange sensations, feeling the pull of the artifact like an invisible force. It was as if the artifact was calling to her, urging her to claim it for herself. Amina fought against the temptation, terrified of the consequences of tapping too deeply into its power. Could she really control it? Or would she fall victim to the same fate as those who had misused it in the past?
