Lunga: After the Fall

Image
The legend of Lunga does not end with his fall from heaven. As we were told by our fathers who were told by their fathers, the fall marked the beginning of a new phase in his life. The series of events that followed shocked everyone. As we were told, when Lunga crashed on the stone, he metamorphosed into a gigantic ram and ran to the banks of River Mbim in Luh. The ram later transformed into a water hydra and made the river its home. It found respite at the bottom of the river and lived there for quite some time. It took the villagers a while to digest this strange phenomenon.
