The Last Kileo

We are a proud people. We are a strong people. We fought off many who tried to take our rights. And that's why the pressure is on now. I am trying to promote peace in my community. I am trying to ease fears. I am trying to stop the worries. It seems almost impossible. We were next. It was our time to take a stand. No more could we just wander. No more could we just put off. We had to stand up for ourselves. We had to defend ourselves. I am the last Kileo left. I was raised by the Chieftain. He was a good father. He allowed me to understand leadership under his wing. He allowed me to understand what it is like to be a warrior. To fight the battles seen and unseen. I have been training under his watch. And I am ready to take on the unknown demons. I am not scared of Theos. Theos and his men have been trying to take my home and tribe for years. We have resisted and fought. And they have nothing against us. When we united we can do anything. The Chieftain appointed me to be the next Chieftain to take on the fight against this devil. Theos is trying to enslave my people. And he is trying to cut off our leadership from the head so the rest will follow. And I will not tolerate that any longer. When I am Chieftain I will secure our borders and rectified our defense. And it happened that Theos invaded again in the middle of the night, and it was a mighty fight. Our men spread out in bands and they were searching for the spies. We know just about everyone in Centros. And they were under my command, and they protected most of the people but Theos was hiding with his men in those secret parts of our territory. So we sought a band out to go and find him. And for hours and hours we search the territory, it took us long because it was the secret, forbidden, and hidden territories. Then we smelt burning and saw our village being burned to the ground. And we hustle and sprinted toward the villages to save the villages. And we gather water with the women and children to save our beloved villages. And we were stuck doing that when we heard Theos and his men saying Kileo Kileo Kileo we want Kileo and the rest will follow. And ignored and ignored but I could not any longer. I plotted with a bunch of men to sneak up on Theos and his men. They were drunk and shouting. And they gave us enough time but just when we were about to strike. We heard the Chieftain saying Kileo my son do not listen to them. Protect the tribe and let me go. And just then I roared in rage like a wild lion and struck several men of Theos and the band of men with me began attacking them. They could not fire their guns because they were too drunk. And the Chieftain was greatly wounded. And he said Kileo I told you. It is my time. I must die someway somehow. Why not for my people? And I said Let the people decided that with the divine. Don't choose. We need you. Yet he died that night and the people were rebuilding the next morning and mourning the Chieftain's death. Then Kileo was the new Chieftain and after several months, Theos came back with a bunch of men who were younger and more vicious. And he was unafraid when he found out that I was Chieftain. I changed the tribe like my father the Chieftain wanted. He wanted a war and we gave him one. First we shot the poison darts which killed about third of his men, then we had the women lead them into a trap a sunken hole. But we could not trick him anymore because Theos stood behind then he began taking hostages and yelling Kileo give me Kileo. And his men shouted Give us Kileo. And Theos threatened to burn all of Africa if he had to. And so I came eventually on the high mountain when the full moon appeared. And I waited and spoke directly to Theo as my men plotted to encircle them. And after I spoke the men took the hostages and Theos was left alone. And I wounded Theos and threw him tied up off the mountain and into the river. And that's how I saved Centros.
