in the village of Zango there was a woman named salima she was as poor as the dusty ground beneath her feet her clothes were like old racks full of holes and tears barely covering her body her heart it was more of a shell than a home the roof leaked whenever the sky cried and the cold wind blew through the torn Windows as if mocking her Sala had no bed she slept on the hard bare floor curling up like a Hungry Cat to keep warm every night she prayed for a better life but the mornings always
greeted her with the same struggle she tried everything to survive she fetched water for people washed their clothes and even worked on their Farms but no matter how hard she worked her hands always came back empty it was as if the world had turned it back on her her agates the women she grew up with were all married living comfortably with their families they wore fine clothes their children laughing and playing around them but Sala she had no husband no child no one to call her own the villagers whispered behind her back she's cursed they
said born with bad luck even the men kept their distance fearing her Misfortune would rub off on them salima's life was a tale of Sorrow she walked through the village like a shadow unnoticed unloved and unwanted yet despite everything she carried on hoping that one day the sun would shine brighter on her life but that day had not come not yet one hot afternoon Salma carried her B bule of tattered clothes to the river the Sun Beat Down fiercely and the river sparkled like a pot of melted silver she knelt by the water scrubbing her
Rags with hands as rough as the village roads the sound of the Rushing Water was the only comfort she had as salima washed she heard the soft rustle of footsteps behind her she turned quickly her heart skipping like a frightened bird there Standing Tall and proud was a woman dressed in clothes so fine they seemed to belong to a queen her skin glowed her jewelry sparkled and her smile was as sharp as a knife good day the woman said her voice smooth like honey salima blinked unsure if she was dreaming good day ma she replied
her voice barely above a whisper the woman stepped closer my name is ky I I've been watching you Sala I know your struggles salma's eyes widened how did this stranger know her name kemy smiled as if reading her thoughts I have a business for you it's simple and will change your life salima stared her mind spinning what kind of business KY reached into her bag and pulled out a bundle of crisp notes you will collect used panties from the village ERS bring as many as you can for every load I will pay you handsomely salma's
jaw dropped panties she asked confusion thick in her voice yes kimy said firmly don't ask questions just do as I say and you'll never be poor again with that she handed Sala the money and turned to leave remember she said I'll be waiting Sala said Sat by the river clutching the money her mind clouded with questions what kind of business was this why panties she didn't understand but the weight of the money in her hand was real and for the first time in her life hope stirred in her chest she packed her clothes and headed
home her heart beating like a talking drum what would she do next the next morning Sala woke up with a plan she knew the villagers might grow suspicious if she asked for only panties so she decided to make her trade seem ordinary with the money kimy had given her salima went to the market and bought colorful buckets and bowls big and small each one shining under the morning son when she returned to the Village she knocked on the first door an old woman opened her eyes narrowing at salima good morning Mama salima greeted holding up
a bright blue bucket I'm exchanging these for any old clothes shoes or even panties you don't need the old woman grunted old clothes shoes panties she shook her head what kind of business is that it's for a new Venture salima said her voice steady if you have anything you're not using I'll trade you for this fine bucket the old woman's eyes lit up at the site of the bucket without hesitation she went inside and returned with a pile of old clothes and shoes topped with a few worn out panties Sala smiled thank you Mama here's
your bucket at each house it was the same the villagers eagerly handed over their useless items for sala's shiny bowls and buckets by the end of the day her sack was full bulging with clothes shoes and most importantly panties that night Sala sat in her hut sorting through her collection she carefully separated the panties and placed them in a special sack the other clothes and shoes she took them outside and burned them in a hidden spot near the river the Flames crackled eating up the evidence while Sala watched her face glowing in the Fire Light
the next day she delivered the sack of panties to KY by the river you've done well KY said her voice smooth as silk she handed salima a thick bundle of money salima's heart rised as she clutched the payment thank you she whispered feeling hope rise in her chest Camy smiled her eyes sharp keep working Sala your life is about to change and so salima's trade continued each day bringing her closer to a life she never thought possible while the villagers remained clueless about the dark secret hidden beneath her Newfound success before long the news of
salima's trade spread through Zang like wildfire her colorful buckets and shiny bowls became the talk of the Village from the eldest grandmothers to the youngest Brides everyone was eager to exchange their old clothes shoes and most of all panties for salma's fine Goods have you seen salma's new Bowls one woman asked her neighbor yes I traded my husband's old shirts yesterday and got one it's beautiful the neighbor replied her eyes sparkling with excitement whenever Sala arrived in the village with her buckets a crowd would gather instantly women pushed and shoved each trying to hand over
their old items first Sala never lacked customers and her sacks were always full by the end of the day with K's payments coming in regularly salima's life began to change she repaired her leaky H replacing the tor roof with sturdy Palm leaves her windows were covered keeping the cold winds out at night she even bought new clothes bright and colorful like the women she once envied for the first time salima could eat well no more begging or struggling her days of hunger were over the villagers noticed her transformation and began to talk look at Sala
they whispered she's no longer the the poor wretch we knew maybe her business is truly blessed another added but while her days were filled with laughter and trade her kns held a darker secret when the village slept Sala would quietly gather her sacks of sorted panties like a shadow she slipped through the narrow paths heading toward the river under the Moonlight she would meet Camy who always waited with her strange knowing smile they exchanged no more than a few words but each time Camy would take the sack of panties and hand Sala her payment no
one in the village knew of these nightly meetings to them salima's success was a simple tale of hard work but in the dark by the river something strange and unspoken was happening and soon it would catch the attention of a watchful eye salima's trade grew bigger than anyone in Zango could have imagined she didn't stop at her Village soon she started visiting neighboring Villages her buckets and bowls gleaming like the morning sun everywhere she went villagers eagerly gathered their old clothes shoes and panties waiting for her her next visit salima is coming tomorrow they' say
the excitement bubbling like a pot of soup everyone wanted a piece of her trade back in Zango her life was a Marvel her once broken down heart now stood strong and proud her clothes were fresh and her meals were satisfying but while most villagers celebrated her success one person's mind was rested her neighbor tinu tinu had always been a sharp Eyed Woman and she couldn't ignore the strange pattern every night while others slept Sala would carry her Sachs and disappear into the darkness she would return hours later her face calm but her eyes told a
story tinu couldn't understand where does she go tinu wondered one night curiosity gripped her tightly she wrapped herself in a thick Shaw and waited by her window watching Sala as expected Sala left her Hut a heavy sack slung over her shoulder moving like a silent cat tinu followed her keeping a safe distance the air was cold and the night was eerily quiet tin's heart beat loudly in her chest chest but she pressed on hiding behind trees and bushes finally they reached the river tinu crouched low peeking through the Tall Grass her eyes widened when she
saw a figure sitting on a large Rock by the River Bank it was Camy her rich clothes glowing faintly under the Moonlight around her candles flickered their Flames dancing in a perfect circle salima approached dropping her sack in front of Ky without a word KY opened the sack pulling out only the panties the rest of the clothes were pushed aside then Camy began to chant her voice was low and rhythmic like the hum of bees and the air around her seemed to thicken Tina's breath caught in her throat as she watched kimy raised her hands
and suddenly the panties vanished Into Thin Air leaving behind a faint Eerie glow a strange laughter echoed through the night sending chills down tin's spine her legs trembled and her heart pounded like a drum she wanted to run but her feet felt like they were stuck in the mud what had she just witnessed who was this Camy and what was she doing with the Villagers panties fear gripped tinu as she quietly retreated her mind racing she had seen enough for one night but she knew this was just the beginning of a terrifying truth Tino's heart
raised like a trapped bird as she stumbled back through the Dark Forest the Eerie laughter from the river still echoed in her ears and every rustle of leaves felt like a hand reaching for her she clutched her Shaw tightly her feet moving as fast as they could but the weight of fear made her legs feel like Stone she didn't stop until she reached her heart slamming the door shut she bolted it and pressed her back against the wood Breathing heavily the shadows in her room seemed to stretch and move and the silence was deafening tinu
sat in the corner her knees pulled to her chest her eyes darting around the room sleep refused to come her mind replayed the scene by the river the candles the chants The Disappearing panties and ky's haunting laughter she hugged herself tighter Whispering prayers under her breath begging for the night to end at the first light of dawn tinu could bear it no longer she threw on her wrapper and rushed out heading straight to the Elder's house her bare feet slapped against the dirt paths stirring dust as she ran when she arrived the elders were just
waking up their faces lined with sleep and age but the panic in tin's eyes erased their weariness what is it tinu asked one of the elders his voice heavy with concern it's Sala tinu cried her words tumbling over each other she goes to the river every night there's a woman Camy she's doing something dark with our clothes I saw it with my own eyes the elders exchanged uneasy glances what did you see another Elder asked leaning forward tinu took a deep breath her voice trembling there were candles KY was chanting she took only the panties
and then they vanished after that there was laughter evil laughter the elders sat in silence their faces growing more serious with each word finally one of them Rose this is a grave matter we must summon Sala at once the village Bell was rung it sharp clang waking everyone men women and children gathered quickly in the Square murmuring among themselves what's happening they they asked their voices filled with confusion when Sala arrived her face was calm but her eyes wey the elders stood before the crowd their expressions Grim Sala the head Elder began your neighbor tinu
has brought a troubling report she says she followed you to the river last night and saw things that concern the safety of this Village we demand an explanation The Crow fell silent all eyes on Sala the air was thick with tension and even the smallest Breeze seemed to carry Whispers of fear salima stood in the center of the Village Square her legs shaking like leaves in the wind the Villager eyes bore into her their faces a mix of fear and anger she swallowed hard but her throat felt as dry as the hamatan wind salima the
head Elder said again his voice sharp speak what are you hiding salima looked down her hands clutched tightly together I I can't she whispered I took an oath if I speak I will run mad or die gasps Ripple through the crowd Whispers Rose like the horm of bees an oath what kind of oath the head Elder frowned and turned to one of the younger men bring the chief priest he ordered the villagers waited intense silence until the chief priest arrived his long staff tapping against the ground with each step his eyes sharp and knowing scanned
the crowd before settling on Sala you've taken an oath a the priest said his voice deep and commanding Sala nodded tears streaming down her face the priest raised his staff and began to chant his voice rising and falling like the waves of a river the air grew heavy and a strange Stillness settled over the square the villagers watched in awe as the priest's chants seemed to wrap around salima like an invisible rope finally the priest stopped and pointed his staff at herow speak he said the spirit will protect you Sala fell to her knees her
body trembling it's Cy she sobbed she's not an ordinary woman she's a ritualist she forced me to collect your panties to steal your lives the villagers gasped in horror Our Lives someone shouted Sala nodded her tears falling freely yes she told me she would make me Rich if I helped her every time I bring her panties she performs rituals she uses them to take your strength your fortune your very souls to grow her wealth the villagers stared in stone silence their faces pale I had no choice Sala cried she said if I didn't take the
oath and Obey her she would kill me I was desperate I I'm sorry the head Elders face hardened he turned to the chief priest what can we do the priest stroked his beard thoughtfully we must find KY and Destroy her power only then can we break her hold on the village the crowd erupted in a mix of fear and anger the once celebrated trade of buckets and bowls had turned into a dark tale of Deceit and danger and now they knew the true cost of their old discarded clothes the chief priest stood tall his staff
planted firmly in the ground his eyes sharp as a hawks swept over the gathered villagers the square was so silent that even the rustling leaves seemed afraid to make a sound this is no ordinary matter the priest said his voice echoing a powerful witch hides Among Us feeding on your lives through the work of Ki but but fear not the spirits have spoken and they will guide us to break this curse the villagers shifted nervously some clutched their children others murmured prayers under their breath now the priest continued if you have ever given your panties
to Sala step forward the curse cannot be lifted if you hide for a moment no one moved then slowly women began to step forward their faces pale with fear one by one they stood before the priest their heads bowed in shame and Terror me too whispered an elderly woman as she joined the line I gave three pairs admitted a young mother clutching her baby tightly soon more women came forward until nearly half the village stood before the priest the men watched in stunned silence the faces reflecting a mix of anger and fear the priest raised
his staff drawing a circle in the dirt around the gathered women he began to chant his voice deep and rhythmic each word carrying the weight of ancient power the air grew heavy and the villagers felt a strange pull as if the very ground beneath them was alive he called upon the spirits of the land the river and and the skies the Flames of the ceremonial torches flickered wildly and a Cool Wind swept through the square the villagers shivered though the night was warm as the chance grew louder the women inside the circle began to sway
their eyes wide with fear suddenly the priest's voice Rose sharply and the circle of dirt around them lit up with a faint Eerie glow the curse is is breaking the priest declared but it will not fully lift until K's power is destroyed the villagers murmured in awe but their fear remained they knew that the battle was not over KY the witch behind it all still lurked somewhere in the shadows her dark power threatening them all the chief priest now armed with the full power of the spirits closed his eyes and raised his staff High his
chance grew deeper his words sharp like the blade of a hunter's knife the air thickened and a sudden gust of wind suckled The Village Square lifting dust and leaves the villagers held their breath their eyes fixed on the priest she is close the priest declared his voice booming her Lair lies near the river hidden beneath the old bobab tree a murmur rippled through the the crowd The Baobab Tree was a place children were warned to stay away from said to be cursed by dark Spirits now the truth of those old Tales chilled their hearts we
must end this now the priest said her power weakens but she is still dangerous led by the priest the villagers grabbed sticks stones and torches their faces were set in Grim determination as they marched toward the river the once familiar path now felt darker each step echoing with the weight of their mission when they reached the bobab tree the priest pointed his staff at the ground here he said her coven lies below with a nod the strongest men began to dig it wasn't long before they uncovered a hidden entrance a small dark tunnel leading on
the ground the air around it was thick and foul wreaking of Decay and Magic bring her out the priest commanded two brave men entered the tunnel their torches lighting the way moments later they emerged dragging a struggling figure behind them it was KY her once glorious robes were now tattered her face Twisted in Rage and fear you fools she SP fat her voice like the hiss of a snake you dare defy me you will all perish the villagers recoiled but the priest stepped forward unfaced he began chanting again his staff glowing with a soft light
Camy screamed clutching her head as if the words burned her her power was fading one by one the Villager stormed her Lair smashing the charms candles and strange artifacts scattered inside each item destroyed seemed to weaken KY further her screams growing fainter finally the priest raised his staff it is done he said she is powerless the villagers dragged Camy back to the square there they tied her to the old tree in the center the very tree under which The Village once held its joyous celebration now it bore witness to their darkest trial you have stolen
from us the head Elder said his voice heavy with anger you have cursed our people today your rain of terror ends without hesitation the villagers picked up Stones Their Fear and rage fueling their actions the air filled with the sound of rocks striking wood and flesh K's screams echoed briefly before Fading Into silence when it was over the villagers stood in solemn silence the witch who had brought so much pain was no more the air felt lighter and the square seemed brighter as if the spirits themselves were relieved the chief priest raised his hands the
village is free he declared but let this be a lesson evil thrives were greed and seek y grow we must remain Vigilant the villagers nodded their hearts heavy yet relieved they had won but the memory of K's dark Deeds would linger forever though K's Reign had ended her curse left scars on those closest to her scheme Sala and tinu bore the weight of their choices foru her bravery came at a cost her sight the morning after Kim's death tinu woke to Darkness the once bright world of Zango was now a void and she cried bitterly
salima too suffered her legs once strong enough to carry sacks of clothes could barely support her every step was painful her body trembling under the weight of her guilt the villagers turned to the chief priest once more he performed rituals chanting and calling upon the spirits slowly tinu sight returned she blinked tears of gratitude streaming down her face as the village came back into view but for Sala the healing was not complete though the priest tried her legs remained weak limping she knelt before the villagers tears falling freely please she begged her voice cracking forgive
me I was blinded by greed and fear I never meant to bring harm to you all the villagers watched in silence some with pity others with anger sala's sorrow was deep but her actions had almost destroyed them sala's shame grew too heavy to bear though the villagers no longer cursed her name aloud their cold stares and whispered words haunted her every step she knew she could not stay one morning with nothing but a small bundle Sala left Zango she limped down the dusty road her heart heavy The Village watched her go their faces a mix
of relief and sadness her name became a lesson a warning of what could happen when desperation meets deceit parents told their children of salima the woman who traded their safety for riches but while salima left in shame tinu stayed and was celebrated the villagers saw her as a hero her courage in following Sala had saved them all grateful the King's son took tinu as his wife The Village rejoiced their hearts lifted by the union tin's bravery was rewarded and she became a symbol of strength and resilience the story of Sala and the stolen panties became
Legend around fires and under the moonlet skies Elders told the tale to Children warning them of the dangers of greed and hidden evil remember they'd say evil often comes in the guise of opportunity though Zango returned to peace the memory of those dark days lingered the villagers stayed wary of strange trades and mysterious figures salima's name lived on not as a curse but as a reminder of Lessons Learned and so the tale of the woman who traded panties for riches became woven into the very fabric of Zango passed down through generations ensuring The Village never
