There is a strange disease in the land. A disease the Gîkûyû nation hasn't seen before. If this disease gets to you, your skin gets itchy, hot,
and it develops rashes. People have called it Mûhare.
Story goes that if you get this disease, you'll keep scratching yourself. You'll be so itchy such that, your hands wouldn't be doing a good job and you'll opt to use a mûratina (the plant).

If you stand from a far, and watch those people coming out of Waing'as but, you'll they come out covered in white dust. From this far, it is difficult to differentiate whether the whiteness is from ashes or ira.

Waing'a, a renowned medicine man, has never seen this disease
before. None of the knowledge passed down to him through the word of mouth, as collected by our forefathers can help cure this disease.

heal naturally or die.
As you turn to go on with your Journey, you see another relatively new hut. It's also has some patients.
Word has it that the hut belongs to Njecû (Jesus), and his servant is a white Scottish man, whom locals have nicknamed Nyaruta.

He even openly tells people, that they should gauge the power of Njecû, and the
power of Waing'a and decide for themselves.
Evidence says Njecû is stronger than Waing'a.
Important history or events in Gîkûyû land are recorded through songs. So, Nyaruta's patients, turned followers, have now created a new song to record this historic event..

UNBEKNOWNST TO MANY this disease that Njecû was healing was brought by the white men, the tribesmen of Nyaruta. They had lived with this disease for so long and have even developed medicine
and remedies to it. It is the same disease they had used as a biological weapon of genocide against native Americans about 2-4 centuries before. They even knew you should wear new clothes, since they spread it to local communities by giving out already infected blankets and
clothing.
With time, all people will leave Waing'as hut and go to Njecû's. Waing'a will lose all the people he was helping. His own people will turn against him, and what he stands for.

The location where his hut is located, will be taken by Nyaruta, and Nyaruta will create a
mission center there, WITH THE HELP OF WAING'AS OWN TRIBESMEN.
As if that is not enough, his knowledge, which his people have relied on for 100s of years will be lost. His name will become the Gîkûyû's name for a new evil supernatural being (Satan) that is being introduced
