Clan Of Cush 

An Ancient African Adventure

       In the time of the ancient ones, tribal elders would take young men and women; into the forest.  A small community would be built: young women, unto themselves; and young men the same.  Then, the elders would teach:  teaching history; how to hunt, fish and farm; taught the transaction of business; foreign languages, and diplomacy; how to build private dwellings, for their future families; how to cook; and, even proper marital relations.

All, the young men were taught to fight:  They being full of themselves, and longing for battle.  So, the elders would give staffs and spears; shields and small swords: saying, “You are warriors; you will protect us, and our way of life.”  The young women were taught child care, herbal healing, and how to prepare healthy meals: meals, with ingredients, that would make the people strong. 

After all these things and more, the initiates, would be returned to society.  No longer youth, but, men and women: fully skilled, as contributors to the community.  But, this is just the beginning, of their journey. 

 For, a great wickedness has come into the land.  The witch-king, NAN, and his fierce forces; have brought great anger, disease, and an almost tangible darkness:  darkness with the scent of death, and the taste of bitter almonds. 

Let us, all, look back.  Looking back to a time, when even Egypt was new.  When the forests where lush, and the peoples where few.  A time when great beasts roamed free, in the bush; and, all men walked tall, claiming the Clan Of Cush.
