Description

She fought for her heritage.

Athena, the aged matriarch, steered her herd along the lip of Zimbabwe’s Matuzviadonha Range. At last, she found the entrance she sought and every wary, sniffed for danger. An African heat haze hid the Zambezi wilderness far below. Shaped by a million feet, the narrow trail was one used by Athena’s mother and her mother’s mother, over the passing generations. Behind her, in an extended line, sixteen elephants placed each foot in turn, descending the precipitous slope.
