00:00Previously on Iyan...
00:02Yes! He came!
00:03Stay back, thief!
00:05My name is B.E., not thief!
00:08Finding the child is of utmost concern.
00:10We shall find the girl.
00:13I hear whispers of a coming darkness.
00:15Unless you find Iyan, for she is the only one that can save us all.
00:21You are going to accompany us on a mission to capture the escaped forest girl.
00:26Maybe this will teach you how to stand up for yourself.
00:35You are the chosen!
00:46Let's go!
00:49Father, you never answered foreign minister was question.
00:53Why did the Oba and Chancellor order such a big operation to search for a young girl?
00:59The answer is in the question itself.
01:02Because the Oba and Chancellor ordered it.
01:05But do you ever question your orders, Father?
01:08What if it doesn't make sense?
01:10What if it's wrong?
01:13What if it is my duty?
01:14I have sworn an oath to the Oba, no matter how confusing his decisions may be.
01:22We are a sure warriors.
01:24We serve at the pleasure of the Oba.
01:26And the Chancellor speaks for him.
01:29So if he says this is what we are doing, then this is what we are doing.
01:33But Father, duty shouldn't be more important than what's right.
01:38Nothing should be.
01:42You sound just like your mother.
01:47Warriors, what are we doing?
01:49Relaxing in a spa.
01:51Go!
01:58Alright!
02:03Here we go!
02:05Go!
02:05Oh.
02:06Oh!
02:07You are, you are I want to go!
02:23Do you believe in the child of wonder?
02:28Do you believe in the child of love?
02:30Falling on Julian
02:40Why are you staring at me?
02:42I wasn't. I just...
02:45If you saw me cleanse a corrupted rhino, you'd be staring at me too.
02:51You have a point.
02:53I can't believe you are the chosen from the old stories and prophecies.
02:57You! I'm not the...
02:58Now I see why you are being so secretive.
03:01Of course the chosen would be. It all makes sense.
03:04I thought the chosen would be taller, but you're just...
03:08A girl?
03:09Exactly. I'm just a girl who needs supplies for my journey.
03:14Enough with this chosen business.
03:16Ugh. Where am I anyway?
03:19Oh yeah. You're welcome.
03:22Chosen. I brought you to my village like you asked me to.
03:26Don't... call me that.
03:28Okay, okay. I won't then.
03:31Ina?
03:32I told you, my name is...
03:33Iyanu. You're awake.
03:35Huh?
03:35How do you know my name?
03:37Oh, call you by your name. Don't call you by your name. Make up your mind.
03:42Uh-uh.
03:42Be quiet.
03:45Do not be frightened, child.
03:47You are safe here.
03:48All right.
03:49All right. Where is here?
03:51And who are you?
03:54We are in the Riverlands Settlements. And I am Mama Shewa.
03:58Mama Shewa takes care of everyone here in the Riverlands.
04:02Come. Let us show you around.
04:05Uh-uh.
04:06Power me.
04:07Mama Shewa.
04:08Hello.
04:10Hello.
04:11Hello.
04:11What do you mean?
04:12Power me.
04:12I don't know.
04:13I don't know.
04:17The people live so far outside the walls.
04:21The Obas and the Elumesi exiled us for the pettiest of crimes.
04:25Like stealing a mango to eat.
04:28Or so-called disorderly conduct.
04:30Or crossing the street in front of the ashore without permission.
04:34But if you are who Bihi says you are, then perhaps you can help us return to an age of
04:41wonders.
04:42When there was unity in Yoruba land and people were only exiled for actual crimes.
04:49Someone I care about is in danger.
04:52I don't think I am who you think I am.
04:56I just need supplies for my journey.
04:58That's all.
04:59Uh-uh.
05:00I saw you cleanse that corrupted rhino with my own eyes.
05:04If you are not the chosen, then what are you?
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:09I see.
05:10Well, may I show you something that might be helpful to your journey?
05:15I guess that would be okay.
05:17What do you know about the age of wonders, child?
05:20Nothing, no.
05:21She doesn't know anything about our history.
05:25Maybe knowing more of our history will spark your sense of duty.
05:30Look down.
05:31This is the story of Yoruba land during the age of wonders.
05:38The divine ones were mighty guardians sent to Yoruba land by Eleda thousands of years ago.
05:45Led by the first father, Jobba, the divine ones were spiritual guides for humanity.
05:51And for a thousand years, we lived in an age of wonders.
05:57A time filled with peace, prosperity, and marvels.
06:01But peace and prosperity ended when the first father's son was seduced by dark magic and became the falling one.
06:13Evolved humans should worship the divine ones.
06:16The divine and humans split into two camps.
06:20The armies of light, who relied upon pure divine power.
06:25And the armies of darkness, who were fueled by false wonders.
06:29Thus began the divine wars.
06:33Father, did you know all of this?
06:36Everybody hears those stories.
06:47Let me help you with that, Chancellor.
06:50My friend, would you move away?
06:52Do not touch this, ever.
06:57A warrior has to be present.
07:00Oh, yes, father.
07:02So you must pay attention to the world around you, instead of the ones inside your books.
07:09But I like the worlds inside my books.
07:11They are not as dangerous as the world out here.
07:15Father, look!
07:17We are well beyond the worlds now.
07:20So you will see corrupted animals.
07:22Here, put this on.
07:24It will mask yourself.
07:29It is not perfume, but it is necessary.
07:34Warriors, cover yourselves with the dust.
07:38We are deep in corrupted animal territory.
07:41Maybe instead of a warrior like you, I can be a ward warrior.
07:46You are stubborn, but at least you have conviction.
07:50Skull, what is it?
07:56General Kang-Fu, these appear to be the ghost tracks.
08:02Fresh footprints.
08:04And it looks like she went in that direction.
08:08Good work.
08:10So, does knowing your history fill you with a sense of duty?
08:15My only duty is to get supplies for my journey.
08:18If you don't have arrows, water and food, I'll just be on my way.
08:23Little girl, you dare speak to Mama Shewa with such disrespect.
08:28I've told you many times that I must help someone important to me.
08:32Does that not matter to the people of the Riverlands?
08:37Guards, seize her.
08:40What?
08:41That escalated quickly.
08:43But why?
08:43I didn't do anything.
08:45Because if you aren't who Bees says you are, then you give me no choice but to treat you like
08:50an intruder.
08:51Surrender quietly, intruder.
08:53And we will not hurt you.
08:55My name is Iyanu, and I'm really tired of people calling me things that start with end.
09:02Do not try to fight us.
09:04You will not win.
09:06Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
09:15Wanda!
09:16The era's got some moves.
09:19She's trained the ways of the Agoni very well.
09:27She's out, no bad.
09:29Wait.
09:31Trust me.
09:32Trust me.
09:56God, stop at once.
09:58This girl is the chosen.
10:02Yes.
10:05It would be a great honor to serve you, my chosen child.
10:10I might have to stop calling you Ina now.
10:13You really proved yourself out there, Iyanu.
10:17I...
10:17I'm not...
10:19the chosen.
10:26General Carfo, according to the girl's tracks, she's likely one or two days ahead of us.
10:33All right.
10:34Warriors, it's getting late.
10:36Let us break camp here and pick up the pace in the morning.
10:41Create a dust perimeter to keep the corrupted animals at bay.
10:45Of course.
10:46All right.
10:46Let's do it.
10:47Let's do it.
10:47Let's do it.
10:50What's that?
10:55Looks like part of an artifact from the Age of Wonders.
10:59The Divine was raged and the Fallen One cursed Yoruba land by corrupting all land-dwelling animals.
11:10He was caught and exiled to an eternal prison, but it was too late.
11:15Only one thing can undo the curse.
11:17Immortal with innate divine power who connects to the Source.
11:23Oh.
11:25Oh.
11:26Oh.
11:26Oh.
11:28Oh.
11:28Oh.
11:28Oh.
11:28Oh.
11:33Father!
11:34Son, calm down.
11:35It's only me.
11:38Whew.
11:39I'll let her be praised.
11:41Corrupt animals are everywhere.
11:43Our dust should be enough to keep them out.
11:45At least the small ones.
11:47What were you doing over there, son?
11:49I was admiring this artifact from the Age of Wonders.
11:53It's even more majestic than Mother's books described.
11:57Why don't we ever talk about her?
11:59Why don't we ever talk about her?
12:02Because it makes us sad.
12:05Maybe talking about her will make us less sad?
12:09Well, she was persistent, just like you.
12:13She loved books, she loved books, and she was a brilliant writer.
12:17She was very spiritual, with great integrity, an honorable woman.
12:22She sounds amazing.
12:25Here, drink this, child.
12:31Thanks.
12:32So thirsty.
12:35So, do you still just want arrows, food, and water for your journey?
12:39Or will you stay and help Yoruba Land?
12:42I'm sorry.
12:44I just...
12:45There's something important.
12:47Someone important who needs me.
12:50Would that someone be Oluri?
12:54The way you thought.
12:56You are clearly an apprentice of the Agoni.
12:58And Oluri is the last of the Agoni.
13:01So, she is the person you are on a mission to save, right?
13:05Yes.
13:07She means everything to me.
13:09And you mean everything to everyone.
13:12I didn't ask for these powers.
13:15I don't want to be the chosen.
13:17I just want to be Yanu.
13:19Well, you are not just Yanu.
13:22For 500 years, the people of Yoruba Land have been forced to hide because of the curse.
13:29But you can restore harmony and equality in Yoruba Land.
13:35All right.
13:36Tell you what, child.
13:38Give me a few days to teach you how to control your powers.
13:42Then you can choose what you want to do.
13:44You'll be more helped, Oluri, if you have more control over your powers.
13:51I suppose I can be more helped, Oluri, if I control my powers better.
13:56Can I come?
13:58No.
13:58You need to go and help Mr. Ogbeni as I asked.
14:01Or you will suffer the consequences for ignoring Mama Shewa.
14:05All right.
14:06I'm going.
14:07Come, child.
14:09Your training begins now.
14:12As the chosen, you have a trinity of powers.
14:17Unnatural, natural, and supernatural.
14:21First is the energy of the unnatural.
14:24With this power, the chosen is able to harness the chaos inside of lifeless or unnatural objects.
14:33That's amazing.
14:34Next is the energy of the natural.
14:37This ability gives the chosen the power to manipulate all of plant life.
14:43All of plant life?
14:45Yes.
14:45With practice, you can even accelerate the growth of seeds.
14:49Incredible.
14:50Finally, there is the energy of the supernatural.
14:56The most difficult to master of the trinity gives the chosen the ability to create divine constructs.
15:03And when you're strong enough, cure the corrupt.
15:07These three powers are natural, natural, and supernatural.
15:15They build on each other.
15:17So to get to the source, you must master all three.
15:20Okay.
15:21So far, your powers have been activated in response to conflict.
15:25And your body overloads with energy.
15:27That is why you pass out.
15:29Yes.
15:30That makes sense.
15:31You must learn to activate your powers from a place of peace to control the chaos within.
15:38Got it.
15:39You know, rushing through this will only delay your training.
15:43I'm sorry, Mama Shawa.
15:45I meant no disrespect.
15:48Good.
15:50Close your eyes.
15:52Go inside your mind to a place that brings you peace.
15:57You will practice harnessing your unnatural powers.
15:59For this, you need to master inner peace.
16:04Go back to your mind tree.
16:08Inner peace.
16:09Inner peace.
16:12Feel the chaos within the object.
16:22It's no use.
16:24I can't focus.
16:25I keep thinking about Oluri and if she really needs me.
16:29I know it does not seem that way.
16:31But this is more important.
16:33Maybe we will have better luck with your natural powers.
16:41To master your natural powers, you must be able to feel the energy within plants.
16:47You can do this once you master oneness with all things.
16:52Go to a peaceful place in your mind.
16:55Feel the energy within the tree.
16:59I think I feel something.
17:06I...
17:06I did it.
17:08Not the tree, but still.
17:11Very good, child.
17:14Thank you, Mama Shawa.
17:15How much longer until I'm good enough to help Oluri?
17:18Look up.
17:20I must show you something.
17:24Ah, the great Chancellor Nuro.
17:28What an unpleasant surprise.
17:31Huh.
17:32Quite a bold and brazen attitude for someone in shackles.
17:37Tell me where the child is.
17:39You have been...
17:40Oh, yes.
17:41I have seen the prophecy.
17:44Then you know you will never find Iyanu.
17:47You are destined to fail just like before.
17:51It is written.
17:58That's me.
18:00You are the child who was blessed by the first father, Jobba.
18:05You emerged from within the earth to save it.
18:09That is the prophecy of the chosen.
18:12The prophecy of you, Iyanu.
18:15Emerge from the earth.
18:18Oluri did find me in the forest.
18:22Oh, Oluri.
18:23She's in danger.
18:24I can't feel it.
18:26I have to save her.
18:28You can save us, Iyanu.
18:30I can't turn my back on Oluri.
18:33I did not wish to have to tell you this.
18:36But I, too, was once a member of the Agoni.
18:40You were?
18:41Do you know, Oluri?
18:43Why didn't you tell me?
18:44I didn't want to tell you that your Oluri had me exiled.
18:49She would never do that.
18:51That is not the Oluri I know.
18:54Well, she did.
18:55You might not know her as well as you believe.
18:59Ah!
19:01As many times as I've taught you how to light a fire, it just seems to fly right out of
19:07your head.
19:08But you know everything about this age of wonder's foolishness.
19:15Here, let me help you.
19:21Don't worry, Father.
19:23There is room in my head for everything you've taught me and our history.
19:26More like his story.
19:31Whoever made it up so people would feel better about their existence.
19:36All right.
19:37Read me something about the Age of Wonders.
19:42It has been a long time since someone read me a fairy tale.
19:48No matter how many times you say it, I will never believe Oluri would exile anyone.
19:54All right.
19:56Let me ask you a question.
19:58Has Oluri ever hidden anything from you?
20:01Or behaved strangely?
20:11What are you doing?
20:13Do not touch that!
20:15Ever!
20:17Oneness with all things.
20:19Oneness with all things.
20:21Oneness with all things.
20:23Oneness with all things.
20:25Oneness with all things.
20:27Oneness with all things.
20:41There you go, child.
20:46Did I do that?
20:49Yes, child.
20:50You did.
20:54It must be false wonder.
20:56That's power.
20:57She's over there.
20:59At dawn, we move out.
21:00Get her and return to Elu.
21:03Get some rest.
21:04Yes, sir.
21:08Your decisions have always been terrible.
21:12Except once.
21:15You do know me the best.
21:18And yet, the Agoni are still finished.
21:21And your little apprentice, Yanu, will still soon be a distant memory.
21:28Do you know what I think about often?
21:30I do not.
21:33Nor do I care.
21:35I think about what our parents would think of us.
21:39And what you have become.
21:41Brother.
