The Night Everything Changed

Set in the Age of the Immortals series, the Ngumamoi siblings (also known as the Kimberly siblings) are ancient, immortal humans predating the rise of Homo sapiens. Native to Western Africa, their race of people—known as the Kimatu—was wiped out after the extinction of the Neanderthals by Homo sapiens out of fear. The septuplets are considered mutants by their species because of their unknown parentage and unusual powers over nature. They are called ‘the Ngumamois’ because their eldest sister, Abena, was the last ruler of the Kimatu, holding the title of Ngumamoi Wachisismaile (thunder bearer). The Ngumamois fled Africa and travelled from place to place hiding among us.

It was a quiet night, just like any other. The house the Ngumamoi siblings called home was far from the other houses. Akosua lay awake, unable to fall asleep. She sat on the stoop outside, staring up at the stars. A new star, brighter than the others, sat in the sky. She watched it every night since it rose, wondering what it meant. Something about this night felt different. Something about that star drew her thoughts to a conversation she had with her Hwangemaile—her foster mother—hundreds of thousands of years ago when she was a child.

“Where did we come from?” Akosua asked.

“There is a great being out there that made us and everything around us,” Hwangemaile said softly. “But not everyone believes in the great being, that’s why no one talks about it.”

“Where did the great being come from?” Akosua asked.

“The great being is the uncreated creator; he exists unlike us. He isn’t bound the laws of time and space like us because he made time and space,” Hwangemaile said. “And I believe that he loves us very much because he created us.”

“Will I ever get to see the great being?” Akosua asked. “I want to see him!”

“I don’t know, little one,” Hwangemaile said softly. “I hope that someday the great being will reveal himself to us.”

Akosua stared at the star. “This is a sign of the great being,” she whispered. “Something is different in the air. I can feel it. Something is happening.”
