The spirits of my ancestors have spoken to me since the days of my youth. They have taught me many secrets, like the languages of plants and animals. I am never alone, for my ancestors are always with me. Often they come to me as small birds and whisper secrets in my ear, protecting me from danger or carrying messages to my companions. Some people cannot see my ancestors and are frightened by what they do not understand, fearing that evil spirits are playing tricks on me. Ha! The trick is on them! Do they not see that even the spirits of the dead listen to my commands?! Soon, my journey will be complete and I will return home, to the jungles of my ancestors to lead my tribe as rightful chief.
