00:00Previously on Iyanu.
00:01Iyanu, you're awake.
00:03How do you know my name?
00:05Mama Shewa takes care of everyone in the Riverlands.
00:08Perhaps you can help us return to an age of wonders.
00:12Am I supposed to believe that the finest warriors of Elu cannot find a single little girl?
00:18I take full responsibility.
00:20She's outnumbered.
00:21Wait.
00:25God, stop at once.
00:27This girl is the chosen.
00:30She's over there.
00:31At dawn, we move out.
00:32Yes, sir.
00:33Do you know what I think about often?
00:36I think about what you have become, brother.
00:45Hurry up.
00:47Mr. Ogbeni is waiting on these.
00:49So, what you like?
00:51The chosen?
00:52Do her eyes really glow blue?
00:54Does she have lightning inside her like Divine Imola?
00:56Did you really see her cure around us?
00:59I lost everything.
01:00Yes.
01:01Calm down.
01:02All right?
01:03Yes.
01:04I really saw her cure a rhino.
01:07Fine.
01:08If you must know,
01:10she's...
01:11an animal person like you and me.
01:14All right.
01:17she's strong-willed which can be annoying she's also one of the best fighters i've ever seen
01:24her bow and arrow skills are first rate i thought she was just an ina from elu but she's a
01:32warrior
01:33she is the chosen
01:57you believe in the child of wonder
02:02do you believe in the child of life
02:18good day sir i am foreign minister ua and i'd like to speak to you about some important changes i
02:25would like to make in elu i am omolola and i speak for the workers in this district

02:50workers district as i now know that would be you oh well i cannot leave the district i need to
02:58be here

03:21things got too
03:29bad
03:35did you really make it in time those corrupt snakes would back to differ
03:43the supernatural is the most powerful of all the chosen's powers and the most difficult as it
03:49requires empathy what if it's harder than my natural and unnatural powers and i haven't
03:55mastered those yet this is going to take forever and olori needs me there's no time to waste you
04:02must feel the world around you now you must master your powers to gain a proper understanding of
04:09what is to come and to help olori all right to help olori good now sit close your eyes and
04:20follow
04:20my voice breathe go into your mind and imagine the cycle of life imagine rain watering the earth
04:31and nourishing the soil imagine life growing out of it
04:41that life feeds other life
04:45and one day that life returns to the soil from where it came
04:53did you feel it a connection to all of life i think so like i felt the rhinoceros
05:00there that is the heart of your supernatural power this is how you will free yoruba land
05:09all right come

05:28like lanterns you can help with that chosen first find the feeling you just found and free this rabbit
05:36but i don't know if i can do it on demand the rhino thing was an accident
05:43i wish i had the glistening powder olori used to free the animals
05:47you must learn to access your powers from within
05:52now close your eyes and focus
05:55inner peace
05:57oneness
05:58empathy
05:59surrender
06:07it's no use i'm trying to connect to the energy and feel the rabbits but all i feel is that
06:15something bad is happening to olori
06:17never mind that now child you must master your powers and go to the source forget about what you want
06:25to do this is what you need to do
06:28but she said i could decide after you helped me with my powers so i'm sorry mama shewa
06:35but i need to save olori
06:42hey

07:01know
07:01i know it's not that
07:05it's
07:07i know what you're going through
07:09there's no way you could ever know how i'm feeling right now
07:13well you might be the chosen but you don't know everything
07:17i just don't see how you could have any idea what i'm dealing with
07:21all right i don't get anything right
07:23no
07:23you don't
07:25fine
07:25fine
07:29you still have much work to do to manage the chaos within child
07:34look how you responded to be
07:35but mama shewa how can i manage chaos when everything is chaotic
07:41and he's so annoying
07:44you're annoying at the moment you are both annoying
07:48it is not meant to be easy but it is what you must do
08:09but i really do understand what you're going through
08:17but how can you you said yourself all of your balance is depending on what you're going through
08:24so no pressure at all
08:27do you want to try shooting the manga again
08:29bet you won't get it this time
08:33hey
08:34watch the face
08:37look
08:38i'm not great at cheering people up
08:40but i'm trying
08:41i
08:43it's not you
08:45just leave me alone okay
08:50you know
08:52i do know what it's like to have the pressure of the whole world on your shoulders
08:56when you didn't ask for it
09:00it's too much
09:03my father used to say
09:04the world seeks
09:06and rewards those who strive to make it better
09:10okay
09:10but making the world better is a lot for one girl to do
09:15that's why you're not doing it alone
09:19so what happened to your father
09:23my father tried to do great things for our people
09:27but greedy corrupt politicians had their own selfish goals
09:33so they got rid of my father and exiled me
09:36after he was gone
09:39i was on my own
09:41completely alone in the world
09:42until mamashowa found me
09:44and took me in
09:46just like i was alone in the world
09:49once the lori found me
09:51so
09:53i guess we do have more in common than i thought
10:09more than you know
10:10general kangfu footprints
10:13these tracks must belong to the girl
10:15based on the size and freshness of them
10:18and these tracks belong to a large animal
10:22the girl's tracks end here
10:24she was probably taken by a corrupted beast
10:27with respect sir
10:29i don't think she was
10:30bless the young and hopeful
10:32but i find it highly improbable
10:34that a child could survive out here by herself
10:37even one of so-called false wonders
10:40let us hear what my son has to say
10:42why do you think that to you
10:44look at the impressions of the footprints
10:46they are all evenly spaced
10:48which suggests that she was running
10:50and this one
10:52look how deep the impression is
10:54i think she jumped
10:55probably to escape the corrupt animal
10:57hmm
10:58the boy might be right
11:02good work son
11:04we will follow the river
11:06and hopefully pick up our tracks again
11:08good idea father
11:10hurry
11:11we need to get to the girl fast
11:14before anyone else stops
11:16once word spreads
11:18many people will want to get
11:20to the so-called chosen
11:22even if it is false wonders
11:27father
11:27i've never been so far outside the walls of elu
11:30and we're about to travel even farther

18:43No, I can't leave, Minister.
18:46We have strict orders to keep you out of danger.
18:48And this is getting dangerous.
18:52Omolola, I will return with the help you need.
18:54I swear on my uncle Obadini's memory.
18:58Because your uncle was a good man whom I trusted,
19:02I will believe you for now.
19:05I will try to hold my people off for as long as I can.
19:08I understand.
19:16I know him.
19:21Oh, I see all you Inas know each other.
19:24Maybe we do.
19:26Outer.
19:28See, not so funny now.
19:34General Kang-Fu, why are the Eshaw in the Riverlands?
19:37We have done nothing wrong.
19:40We have been cooperative with Elu.
19:42We provide you with goods and you do nothing for us, as usual.
19:47Shewa, this is not an invasion.
19:51We are only here for the girl.
19:54Give her to me and we will go in peace.
19:58But if you do not, well, you will find out what happens.
20:03If you disobey the Eshaw, I assure you, it will not be pretty.
20:08General, I have survived under the harshest of conditions my entire life.
20:14I do not care about pretty.
20:17I will only ask you one more time.
20:27Give the girl to me!
20:30I will answer only once more.
20:34No!
20:35They are willing to risk their lives to protect me?
20:38Yes!
20:39Because they believe in you.
20:42We all do.
20:43I will not let anything happen to them because of me.
20:46Let me out.
20:48I can face the Eshaw.
20:48Eshaw may be the chosen, but I take orders from Mama Eshaw.
20:55Eshaw, what is it?
20:57There?
20:59Look!
21:07Who are they?
21:08The people of the deep!
21:17You are, you are, you are, you are you Marcella?
21:40You are, you are, you are, you are
