Each day the fishermen set off to the river in search of their daily bread. It took longer and longer, and they had to go further and further for reasonable catch.
Over recent years the harvest has dwindled as the flow of the Nguru was interrupted in unnatural ways and the villagers were unhappy.
The river had many tales to tell. Once it flows past, it never came back that way again, but continued on its journey through the winding villages out to the sea.
The big companies had come with their massive artillery.
They were searching for the gems of ancient days that they believed were hidden in watery coves.
They soiled the water and killed the living things that called Nguru their home.
Simbata the River Goddess is in a rage.
They have turned her domain into a place of greed, avarice and destruction.
She planned to flow over the banks, through the tributaries and into the house’s.
It was time to speak out her displeasure.

Great job at this story. I can’t blame the river Goddess. These companies polluting her, killing her creatures, stealing her gems. They need a good lesson. Sadly, this will affect innocent people too.
