00:14Yoruba Land
00:15For a thousand years, mankind lived in a time of peace and prosperity.
00:21Under the guidance of the Divine Ones, Yoruba Land flourished with magic and technological wonders.
00:27This era was known as the Age of Wonders.
00:33But then came the Divine Wars.
00:35A clash between the armies of light led by Dara and the armies of darkness led by the Fallen One.
00:44Facing defeat, the Fallen One unleashed a curse upon all of Yoruba Land, transforming its creatures into the corrupt.
00:52Evil beasts who ravaged our lands, forcing us to hide in fear behind the walls of Elu, the last standing
01:02city in the known world.
01:04Yet, hope remains.
01:08For it was foretold by our ancestors.
01:11A Divine One in human form would rise to reverse the Fallen One's curse and restore harmony to the people
01:20and creatures of Yoruba Land.
01:23That hope is the chosen.
01:37A Divine One in human form would rise to the people and creatures of Yoruba Land.
01:45A Divine One in human form would rise to the people and creatures of Yoruba Land.
02:22A Divine One in human form would rise to the people and creatures of Yoruba Land.
02:29Well, I missed.
02:31No child should be without her parent.
02:41Wow.
03:06Let the Alarindro deliver praise upon a departed king.
03:14Our almighty creator, rest his soul.
03:18Our songs of memory and gratitude will carry him to the realm of the ancestors and bring
03:26relief to the people of Elu.
03:36Get out of here, forest girl.
03:38You are not welcome within the inner walls of Elu.
03:42Abby, stop it now.
03:44She's done nothing to us.
03:46Toye, are you taking sides with this vine rat?
03:51Rude, I have a name.
03:54No, she's not important right now.
03:57We should ignore her and go back to your granduncle's remembrance celebration.
04:01Yeah, my father is Oba now, the king of Elu.
04:05Which means I can have you exiled for taking sides with this lonely scavenger.
04:11Perhaps you can join her in the forest.
04:13Otherwise, you should address her appropriately.
04:17Oh yeah.
04:21Go away.
04:23Forest girl.
04:24Back where you belong.
04:41Where is the chosen?
04:47You will never find her.
05:04Iyanu, tell me what happened.
05:08Laurie, I...
05:10When I got upset, I...
05:13Yes, I heard the thunder.
05:16It is nothing to be ashamed of.
05:18It was different this time.
05:21How?
05:22What made it different?
05:25I heard voices.
05:26What did you hear?
05:27Was it them?
05:29The Divine Ones.
05:30What did they say?
05:32Please.
05:34No time for your stubbornness.
05:37Tell me.
05:38I don't know.
05:39I couldn't understand what they were saying.
05:42It was too much.
05:45It is alright, my child.
05:47Can you tell me what caused you to be upset?
05:50What triggered your powers today?
05:52The Inas.
05:53They were laughing at me.
05:56Iyanu, Iyanu, Iyanu.
05:59How many times did I call for you?
06:01Do you think I enjoy wasting my voice?
06:03The forest animals do not care for the chorus of your name.
06:07I know.
06:08What have I told you repeatedly?
06:11Don't approach the inner walls of Elu.
06:14Don't approach the other districts of Elu.
06:16Never leave the forest.
06:18And why?
06:19Because it's dangerous.
06:21Because it's dangerous.
06:22I wonder if the space between your ears is a tunnel, or if you deliberately refuse to listen.
06:28I'm sorry, Eluri.
06:30I just wanted to spend some time around other kids.
06:35It was nice to hear them laugh and watch them play.
06:39I know how difficult it must be without friends.
06:42I truly understand being alone and cut off.
06:47What did the Inas say to you?
06:49They called me forest girl.
06:52And are you a girl?
06:54Yes.
06:55Do you live in the forest?
06:57Yes.
07:00I am the last of the Aguni.
07:02We were priestesses entrusted with the history of Yoruba land.
07:06And even that created a panic.
07:08A captive audience is one with a full belly.
07:11Your favorite.
07:12Pounded yam with goat meat.
07:15Pounded yam with goat meat.
07:24Forgive my manners.
07:26Thank you, Eluri.
07:28We were cast out into the forest.
07:30I know what fear can do to people.
07:33That's why I'm training you to use your powers correctly.
07:37And that begins with understanding the source.
07:45I guess we'll talk about that over dinner.
07:52We are gathered here today for the first time since the passing of my uncle and predecessor, Oba Adeni.
07:59There are many matters left unsettled by his passing.
08:05And we of the Alumesi stand by your side.
08:09So says Nuru, Chancellor and Bashongnu of the Alumesi.
08:15Let us begin.
08:17My brother, if I may?
08:21Our uncle wished to lift a ban on our citizens exploring the realm outside of the walls.
08:26We are in need of the resources in the-
08:27Blasphemy!
08:29Only our elite Esho warriors have been allowed outside the walls.
08:33It has been that way for 500 years.
08:36Elda Laguna.
08:37In 500 years, all we have left is squalor in some districts.
08:42As an ambassador, it might benefit you to actually visit people outside of the city.
08:48How dare you?
08:49The only reason you're tolerated here is because of your royal blood.
08:53Our traditions and policies shall remain unchanged.
08:56People are suffering.
08:59People are always suffering.
09:01Our sympathies should not force unwise decisions.
09:04Sympathy without action is worthless.
09:07Our uncle saw the wisdom in helping others.
09:10And it was a poor decision by Oba Adeni to allow outsiders within our walls.
09:18If your sympathies lie with the outsiders, feel free to join them in exile.
09:24There is another matter.
09:26Our warriors have encountered Ekum, the worst of the corrupted.
09:30That beast tears apart the forest in search of the Chosen.
09:33Chosen?
09:34Please, Elder Lakbani, no more fairy tales.
09:38Obade Inga, allow me to address you on matters of fact.
09:43Continue.
09:45The Agoni witch Onori lives in exile in the forest.
09:49I fear she has a devious agenda.
09:53She is the last of the Agoni and may be our only hope in cleansing the corrupt from our lands.
09:58If anything happens to her-
10:00We have one less exile to worry about.
10:02But since you're so concerned about the last of the Agoni,
10:08I am working on a plan.
10:13I yield!
10:14I yield!
10:18How do you always win?
10:21I'm not fighting to win.
10:23I'm allowing you to exhaust yourself with only defensive moves.
10:27Is that the way of the Agoni?
10:29Partially.
10:30We believe that fighting should be the last resort, not the first instinct.
10:34Why?
10:35Because not every opponent is your enemy.
10:38Not every enemy is your opponent.
10:41It's wise to determine which is which.
10:51For example, my existence, our existence in this forest,
10:57is a result of the Inners not knowing if we're the enemy or not.
11:00This is why the Agoni were exiled.
11:03Where are you going?
11:05The Inners are terrified because the corrupt are becoming bolder,
11:09making them even more dangerous.
11:12Why do you have them in cages?
11:14To show you how the Agoni cleansed the corruption.
11:28Whoa!
11:30If you can save the Inners, why did they exile you?
11:36I work to save them because everything in this world is symbiotic.
11:41We all depend on each other in a grand circle of life.
11:45What happens to one of us affects us all, right?
11:50Correct.
11:51They need us, and we need them.
11:56Are you exiled because of me?
11:59Because of my past?
12:01What past?
12:02You know the story of how I found you...
12:05Found you in the forest, yes.
12:07But I didn't spring up from the ground like a weed.
12:11Where do I come from?
12:12The sun will hang on the sky soon.
12:14Go gather the herbs I need or we won't be having a flavorful dinner tonight.
12:19Yes, Oluri.
12:22What?
12:28Uwa?
12:28Why have you brought me here?
12:30Elder Alakwani.
12:31I appreciate your time.
12:33I wanted you to see something my brother and Nurul wish to ignore.
12:38Why are you insistent upon challenging Nurul?
12:41This marketplace is a reflection of the current state of our land.
12:45A small group of elites ruling over a large working class with no chance at a better life.
12:50As it has been for a long time, we in the Ellume Messie have done what we could to ensure
12:56fairness.
12:58Have we?
13:13I think I have all the herbs we need for dinner.
13:15Now let's see if I can track down that glowing thing I saw around here.
13:21Maybe I did dream it up.
13:24Perhaps it's closer to the tunnel.
13:29How long do you plan on hanging at the upper's grave?
13:32It's far too late for him to grant you a backbone.
13:35Have you no respect?
13:37I do.
13:38That is why we will leave this place so that you might learn a lesson in courage.
13:43Have you heard about Ekko?
13:45The mightiest and meanest of the corrupted.
13:49A very powerful beast.
13:50They say he searches for the chosen.
13:52And that certainly isn't you.
14:18They say he's eating many of the Esho.
14:21The bravest warriors in Ellume.
14:24They say he's eating many of the Esho.
14:24Perhaps your father is next.
14:32My father Kanpho is the greatest of Esho.
14:36Yes, but my father is the upper part.
14:39The Esho protect us all from the corrupt, including the Ellume Messie.
14:44And the upper, you'd better stop!
14:47I don't know.
15:27Did you see that?
15:29She saved the children.
15:33Seize her! Now!
15:39I guess I've overstayed my welcome.
15:48She's just through here.
15:53These are false wonders. Unnatural.
15:57No matter. We go around through the main gates and cut her off.
16:04Where is the child? Where is the chosen?
16:08You cannot protect her forever.
16:11You will never find her.
16:21Oh, Laurie! Oh, Laurie!
16:24What is the matter, child?
16:26I tried to help someone who was being mistreated.
16:32And?
16:32They were inside the city.
16:36Where did you go inside the city?
16:37Was it the royal palace?
16:39No. A courtyard in the theater district. Near where they buried the oba. I'm so sorry.
16:47You have nothing to be sorry for. But we must...
16:51Oh, Laurie! Come outside! Now!
16:57We should have known the interloper was connected to you.
17:02Canfo, what business do you have here?
17:06Orders from the Elumeci to apprehend the agoni of the forest.
17:10And anyone found in her company.
17:14Don't you mean orders from Nuru?
17:16Who's Nuru?
17:18Please. We need not make this unpleasant.
17:23Canfo. As I have great respect for you, I suggest you take your own advice.
17:30So be it.
17:32Oh, yeah!
17:55My little wonder, it is time.
17:58Time? For what?
17:59To go to where the water meets the wall.
18:01Then you must leave Elu and find the source.
18:06I will stay and fight alongside you.
18:09No.
18:10This is your destiny.
18:11The truth of your past.
18:13It will all be found when you discover the source.
18:15I cannot do this without you.
18:18You can and you will.
18:20Do not stop until you find the source.
18:22I don't know where it is.
18:25Trust your instincts.
18:26This is what I have been training you for.
18:30Go. Please.
18:31Do not worry.
18:32We shall meet again.
18:33I promise.
18:36This is your last warning.
18:39Surrender.
18:41Or we will make you.
18:42Good luck.
18:56Let God!
18:57Apprehend the girl!
18:59And we will deal with the Agun.
19:21Tenshi!
19:22Tenshi!
19:29Tenshi!
19:30Tenshi!
19:52Where am I?
19:55I don't think I've ever been this deep into the forest.
20:04This is the outer wall.
20:19Oh, Lori, I wish you were here.
20:22I don't know what to do.
20:27I wish I had your faith in me.
20:31Oh!
20:34Oh!
20:38Oh!
20:39Stay back!
20:42Echo!
20:44Oh!
20:45Oh!
20:47Oh!
20:48Oh!
20:49Oh!
20:58Oh!
21:00Oh!
21:04Oh!
21:05you are
