Khar’Ka-Mulindi wa Miṅwaha ya Tshigidi

O thusa u sika Vhuthu uri a kone u kunda nndwa. Lwa miṅwaha ya dzimilioni, o vha ene e eṱhe mulindi waḽo.

Musi Spulves a tshi bva Shangoni ḽa Muvhala wa Lutombo, Khar’Ka o wana mushumo muthihi wa u fhedzisela: u dzula kha Ḽifhasi, u sedza u bvelela ha tshaka ntswa na u sevha vhathu vhawe arali vhathu vha vha khombo. O thivhelwa u dzhenelela, u fanela u fhira kha miṅwaha ya tshigidi kha kamara dza u ṱomola, a tshi vuwa fhedzi u itela u ṱolisisa mvelaphanḓa ya tshenzhelo.

Fhedzi u bva kha u vuwa ha u thoma, Khar’Ka o zwi ṱhogomela uri hu na zwo khakheaho.

Vhathu a vho ngo tshila fhedzi, fhedzi vho thoma u phaḓalala kha pulanete yoṱhe. Vhukati havho hu gidima malofha a Montarion, tshivhumbwa tshi sa ḓivhei tshe tsha vhofholola zwivhotshwa zwa u thoma kha laboratori dza Spulves na u ḓivhadza u vhuya ha we a mu ṋea dzina ḽawe. Musi Khar’Ka a tshi khou ṱoḓisisa lushaka ulwu, u wana zwiitea zwine zwa sa fanele u vha hone: zwiga zwo ṅwalwaho phanḓa ha vhubvo he ha zwi sika, milaedza yo ṅwalwaho nga nyambo dzi sa athu bebwa, na vhuporofita vhune ha vhonala vhu tshi ḓivha vhumatshelo.

Kha minwaha, Khar’Ka i vhona u bebwa na u wa ha vhubvo ha vhathu. O vhona vhaeni vha bvaho kha ṋaledzi vha tshi ḓiṱahisa sa midzimu, mivhuso ya vhathu yo shandukiswa ya vha zwishumiswa zwa nndwa dza nnḓa ha ḽifhasi na mmbi dzo dzumbamaho dzine dza khou ṱaṱisana u itela u vhusa Ḽifhasi. U sa kona u dzula a si na ndavha, o thoma u pfuka ndaela dza Spulves, a tshi tsireledza vhathu, a tshi fhelisa mmbi dza tshiphirini na u phumula kha Ḓivhazwakale zwiga zwa vhe vha ṱoḓa u ita Vhuthu phuli.

Naho zwo ralo, u dzhenelela huṅwe na huṅwe hu mu sendedza tsini na zwine a zwi ofha vhukuma: u vha mufheṱi maṱoni a vhathu vha hawe.

Nga murahu ha maḓana a miṅwaha, vhukati ha Vhamaya, Khar’Ka o wana tombo ḽa kale u fhira lwendo lwa tshifhinga luṅwe na luṅwe lune lwa ḓivhea. Dzina ḽi sa konadzei ḽo ṅwalwa khaḽo: José Monteiro. Dzina ḽa muthu ḽo ṅwaliwaho kale musi Portugal, luambo lwa Portugal kana shango ḽe a vha a tshi ḓo bebelwa khaḽo ḽi vha hone.

U tumbulwa hu thoma ṱhoḓisiso ine ya ḓo katela makontinenthe na miṅwaha ya tshigidi. Zwitshavha zwa tshiphirini zwa vhathu zwi vha vhaḽaifa vha nḓivho ya Khar’Ka. Vhaṅwe vha ana u tsireledza vhuporofita ha Montarion; vhaṅwe vha tenda uri José i ḓo vha na vhuḓifhinduleli ha u fhelisa Vhupo hoṱhe nahone vha ṱoḓa u thivhela u bebwa hayo. Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga, maswina a kale a vhuya, midzimu ya mazwifhi ya dovha ya wana maanḓa, nahone vha Spulves vha thoma u humbulela uri mulindi wavho ha tsha vha muṱaleli.

Musi Vhuthu vhu tshi dzhena kha ḓana ḽa miṅwaha ḽa nndwa, mitshini na zwiṱhavhane zwine zwa kona u fhelisa pulanete, Khar’Ka yo sedzana na u timatima hayo huhulwane: naa lushaka lwe lwa lu tsireledza lwa miṅwaha ya dzimilioni lwo tea u tshila zwa vhukuma?

Phindulo i do da musi vhasiki vha tshi vhuyelela Blue World u fhedza mulingo wo thomiwaho mathomoni a Vhuthu. Musi vho sedzana na tshutshedzo ya u fheliswa, Vhaḽaifa vha Tshiphiri vha ṱoḓa munna we dzina ḽawe ḽa fhira tshifhinga, ngeno Khar’Ka a tshi wana uri Montarion ho ngo vhuya a vha muṱa wa malofha fhedzi.

Ndi tshiṱirathedzhi. Na José Monteiro ndi tshiitea tshe Ḓivhazwakale yoṱhe ya vha i tshi khou tshi lugisela.

O fhandekana vhukati ha u fulufhedzea kha vhathu vhawe na lufuno lwa lushaka lwe a lu vhona lu tshi khou aluwa, Khar’Ka u ḓo tea u pfuka muano we wa ita uri a dzule e tshivhotshwa tsha Ḽifhasi nahone a ite khetho nthihi ya u fhedzisela: u ṋekedza Vhuthu kha vhasiki vhaho kana u thoma nndwa ine ya kona u sasaladza vhubvo hoṱhe he a vhu tsireledza.

Ngauri Khar’Ka yo sala kha Ḽifhasi uri i dzhie tsheo ya uri Vhuthu vhu fanela u fa lini. Fhedzi vhasiki vhawe a vho ngo vhuya vha humbula uri u do guda u mu tenda.
