Story
Nyame Dua
In the village of Adom, where drums spoke to the wind and stars danced above the rooftops, grew a tree that no one dared touch without permission: the Nyame Dua. Its trunk was as wide as a lion's chest, and its branches stretched out like arms embracing the sky. The elders said it was the dwelling place of the gods, the bridge between the world of the living and the realm of spirits.

Every full moon, the priestess Esi, wrapped in cloths embroidered with ancestral symbols, approached the tree with a vessel of spring water and kola leaves. She sang in an ancient tongue, and the Nyame Dua responded with a whisper that only the initiated could understand. It was the language of the ancestors, of those who had crossed the invisible river.

One day, a boy named Kojo, curious as fire and brave as an antelope, approached the tree without ceremony. He wanted to know if the gods truly lived there. Upon touching the bark, he was enveloped in a golden light and transported to a forest that was not of this world. There, the trees spoke, the rivers sang, and an old man with eyes like moons told him:

"Kojo, you have crossed the threshold. Nyame Dua has chosen you as its guardian."

From then on, Kojo lived between two worlds. In the village, he was a boy like any other. But every full moon, he became the gods' interpreter, bringing messages of healing, warning, or hope. The tree had marked him with a line of light on his palm, and no one doubted their connection.
