The heat barely brought perspiration to the surface of his dark skin. He looked around the crowd eagerly -- so many people! So many different clothes, so many strange weapons, so many faces unlike any he had seen before. Surely Wati must be one of the largest cities in the world. His whole home village could fit within this single courtyard, with room left over for cassava fields.<br/><br/>He wished he had a tree to climb. So many of these adventurers were tall like yaba plants, so that he could barely catch glimpses of the woman speaking on the stage. She was telling the story of her people, and so Tgamo tried to listen respectfully, but it was so hard not to be distracted. He hoped that his companions were being more attentive; there might be something important. Salimah would listen, he thought, and she would understand. Salimah was<em>mwanamke</em>, a wise one, and he was fortunate to have her as a friend.<br/><br/>"Salimah," he whispered, but his voice was swallowed by the crowd. "Salimah," he ventured again more loudly. "How long until it is our turn?" The tombs may have waited hundreds of years, but Tgamo could scarcely wait another minute. And then he heard their name! Naturally he turned to Salimah, assuming that she would be accepting the honor. Although the big northern man, Nestor, might be a better choice. He was a man, after all. Just as long as Tgamo didn't have to go himself -- he would rather face a hyena pack than walk out onto a stage in front of all of these people.<br/><br/><br/>
