Coughing, struggling for air, this, this is life, always trying to find the inayofuata thing to sate your interest never sitting back to relax always trying to find something new to do. This is the story of one young man destined to find something greater then life itself, greater then anything he had ever come to know au ever will know, our hero's name is Kindred Alphonz Maniker. Kindered had always been and adventurous boy, at a young age he found what seemed to be a crystal, no one in his village had seen such a thing before, it bore no resemblence to any gem they had seen before, it had an odd color about it and emitted a strange aura, this was enough to send their mayor into a frenzy "Get rid of that cursed thing!" he exclaimed, he had his most trusted men take it to Mount Ullard the valcano that sat not far from their village.
Kindred didn't understand at first but wasn't bothered about it seeing as he had zaidi adventuring to do. His parents always told him not to venture far from the village "Kin!" a voice called out to him, he looked back seeing his old friend Ryse Kollin Hightop, an odd name for such a short being, "Hey where have wewe been I've been looking for wewe all day!" he shouted running up to Kindered slugging him in the arm with a big grin on his face "Hey Rye, sorry I was at mayor Erye's house." Kindred responed laughing slugging Ryse back. Afterward the two young boys ventured off together in hopes of finding some forgotten treasure au a magical being of some sorts "Hey, wewe excited?" Ryse asked grinning at Kin, "For what Rye?" he replied with a confused look on his face as they passed the gates looking up at the giant structure "You know in a few years you'll be thirteen, you'll be able to jiunge Junior combat training, you'll be able to use a buncha different weapons and go on missions!" Ryse exclaimed with a big smile played across his face "Hmm no I haven't thought about it much I've mostly been focusing on adventuring, though I think I'll be fine with my fists as a weapon!" Kin responded with a confident grin as he flexed his arms, Ryse smirked looking at Kin "Those puny things, come on those wouldn't even be able to beat off a starving dog let alone the monsters that roam the forests." Ryse laughed flexing his own arms, the boys began laughing at each other soon sitting down on a log just outside the gate "Really though, you're sure you'll be fine with just your fists?" Ryse questioned looking up at the sky smiling "Yea! Of course I've been training hard every day, I'm sure I'll be as strong as my dad! Heck maybe I'll be able to beat him one day." Kin looked up at the sky as well placing his arms behind his head laughing "Wow, wewe sure do have high hopes huh? Seem's nothing can get wewe down, actually I don't think I've seen wewe sad ever." Ryse stood up pointing at the sky "Look there's Lunastar!" Ryse exclaimed as a nyota shot across the sky, the boys' faces lit up like fireworks "Woooooow!" both of their jaws hung in an amazed stupper, never had they seen such a thing.
Kin looked over at Ryse "How'd wewe know about that?" Kin questioned Ryse standing up as well "I only know it's name really my parents told me about it, they really don't know anything either though. Cool right?!" Ryse replied with excitement "One siku I wanna explore the world, I wanna see everything!" Kin exclaimed jumping up and down "Hey! I coming too wewe know." Ryse replied laughing turning back to Kin, Kindred looked over at Ryse smiling "Alright then! Let's make a promise that we'll see the world together." Kindreds smile widened "Yea, we'll be great adventurers! Everyone will know our names." Ryse smiled back as the two swore spitting on their right hand pulling each other into a slimey handshake, kwa the time they had got done talking it had already gotten dark "Oh shoot! I need to get back, mom needed my help moving stuff tonight." Kin sighed placing his hands on his head, Ryse looked over at him laughing and pointing as he started to run back to the village "Then lets go, I'll help out! Besides I don't have anything to do tonight anyways." Ryse alisema happily. Kindred and Ryse made their way back to the village laughing and jumping for joy all the way.
As Kin and Ryse made their way back to Kins house they noticed everyone getting ready for the festival that their village held every mwaka "Man I can't wait to taste the food! Mom always makes great meals." Kin shouted in joy running back nyumbani as fast as he could "Hey wait up Kin!" Ryse shouted catching up to Kin "Hah! Sorry Ryse." Kin replied smiling "I couldn't help myself, when I think of mom's cooking I just go crazy!" Kin alisema smiling from ear to ear as they finally made it to his house. Kin's mother was waiting at the door smiling and laughing as the boys ran up completely out of breath "Mom!" Kin exclaimed giving her a big kubeba hug "Kin! You're late again." she replied giggling as she stared down into his bright blue eyes "I know I'm sorry mom... but hey! I got help today!" Kin replied pointing to Ryse "Hey Kin's mom!" Ryse replied with great excitement "Oh hello Ryse. How's your parents?" Kin's mother replied smiling still "Oh they're doing great! Dad just got back from a big hunt and mother is preping for the festival." Ryse replied looking around "So what is it that wewe need us to move?" Ryse questioned with a big goofy smile on his face.
Kin's mother laughed "Oh just some chakula I cooked for the festival." she alisema as they went into the house "Oh! what did wewe make this time mom?!" Kin replied jumping up and down with great curiousity "I can't tell wewe yet, you'll just have to wait till the festival." Kin's mother giggled teasingly "Even though wewe two will be delivering the chakula I'm sure wewe wouldn't eat it before wewe got there... cause if wewe did I will feed wewe nothing but mkate for a mwezi kin." she replied staring at Kin before smiling, Kin's mother has always been very bright and very uplifting not once has any of the villigers seen her sad au down even through the great chakula shortages, she was always optomistic.

I felt them start to build up
As soon as I saw him
I put on a happy face for my mom
Because she doesn’t know
That he broke my heart
She didn’t know that I balled my eyes out
She hasn’t realized that I’ve withdrawn
He says he wants us to be friends
I could barely hold them back
He asked if I understood
And I do
But that doesn’t stop the pain and anger
I blink back the tears
And realize that I was starting to put a shield up
My shield of anger
I feel the tears
As I pray
That God will help me this time
So I don’t isolate myself again
And don’t lose myself
Tears……
They come and I can’t stop them
I hate them
They are a weakness
and I can’t stop them
As soon as I saw him
I put on a happy face for my mom
Because she doesn’t know
That he broke my heart
She didn’t know that I balled my eyes out
She hasn’t realized that I’ve withdrawn
He says he wants us to be friends
I could barely hold them back
He asked if I understood
And I do
But that doesn’t stop the pain and anger
I blink back the tears
And realize that I was starting to put a shield up
My shield of anger
I feel the tears
As I pray
That God will help me this time
So I don’t isolate myself again
And don’t lose myself
Tears……
They come and I can’t stop them
I hate them
They are a weakness
and I can’t stop them

When wewe Have To Choose Between 2 Possibilities:
1.Take your time.The most important thing is not to make a decision in a hurry.
2.Make a orodha of the positive and negative points for both opinions.Then decide which points are most important and compare the two lists.
3.If wewe ask other people for their advice,don't ask zaidi than 1 au 2.If wewe ask a lot of people,this will probably confuse you.
4.Use your imagination to help you.Imagine yourself in both situations.How do wewe feel?Relaxed au stressed?
5.When you've made a decision,wait a bit before wewe tell other people,to see how wewe feel.If wewe feel comfortable with your decision after an hour,you have probably made the right decision.
6.Finally,remember that wewe can't have everything.Choosing one of two possibilities always means that wewe can't have the one wewe didn't choose.And it's impossible to always make the right decision!
