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.
01:33You are, you are, you are your one-ion.
01:41You are, you are, you are my own?
01:50Do you believe in the child of wonder?
01:54Do you believe in the child of love?
01:56Falling on you, we are new.
02:29Well, I missed.
02:31No child should be without her parent.
02:41Wow.
03:06Let the other angel deliver praise upon a departed king.
03:14Our almighty creator, rest his soul.
03:19Our 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.
03:39You are not welcome within the inner walls of Elu.
03:42Abby, stop it now.
03:44She's done nothing to us.
03:46Toei, 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.
04:02My father is Oba now.
04:04The 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.
05:05Iyanu, tell me what happened.
05:09Lori, I...
05:10When I got upset...
05:13Yes, I had the thunder.
05:16It is nothing to be ashamed of.
05:18It was different.
05:20It's 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 all right, 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 Iyanu.
06:14Don't approach the other districts of Iyanu.
06:16Never leave the forest.
06:18And why?
06:19Because it's dangerous.
06:21Because it's dangerous.
06:23I wonder if the space between your ears is a tunnel, or if you deliberately refuse to listen.
06:28I'm sorry, Uluri.
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.
07:18Oh.
07:24Forgive my manners.
07:26Thank you, Uluri.
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,
07:58Oba Adeni.
07:59There are many matters left unsettled by his passing.
08:05And we of the Elumesi stand by your side.
08:09So says Nuro, Chancellor and Bashongnu of the Elumesi.
08:14Let 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!
08:28Only our elite Esho warriors have been allowed outside the walls.
08:33It has been that way for 500 years.
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.
08:57People 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.
09:09And it was a poor decision by Obade-Ni 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 Lakwani.
09:36No more fairy tales.
09:38Obade-Ni, 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.
09:55And maybe her 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, I yield!
10:19How 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?
10:28Partially, we 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, is a result of the Inners not knowing if we're the
11:00enemy or not.
11:01This is why the Agoni were exiled.
11:03Where are you going?
11:05The Inners are terrified because the corrupt are becoming bolder, making them even more dangerous.
11:12Why do you have them in cages?
11:14To show you how the Agoni cleansed the corruption.
11:28Wow!
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?
11:49Correct.
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...
12:05I found 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 low in the sky soon.
12:14Go gather the herbs I need, or we won't be having a flavorful dinner tonight.
12:19Yes, Uluri.
12:28Uwa, why have you brought me here?
12:30Elder Alakwani, I appreciate your time.
12:33I wanted you to see something my brother and Nuro wish to ignore.
12:38Why are you insistent upon challenging Nuro?
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 Ellum 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.
13:20Hmm, maybe I did dream it up.
13:24Perhaps it's closer to the tunnel.
13:28How 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.
13:48A very powerful beast.
13:50They say he searches for the chosen.
13:52And that certainly isn't you.
13:58Kampo, should we get Toye and...
14:01No.
14:02He must learn to fight his own battles.
14:13Because you're so weak, you'd likely be Ekko's first victim.
14:18They say he's eating many of the Esho.
14:21The bravest warriors in Ellum.
14:24Perhaps your father is next.
14:32My father, Kampo, is the greatest of Esho.
14:36Yes, but my father is the upper man.
14:39The Esho protect us all from the corrupt, including the Ellumacy.
14:44And the upper...
14:45You'd better stop.
14:48No.
14:49No.
14:50No.
14:51No.
14:53No.
14:53No.
14:53No.
14:54No.
15:33No.
15:34No.
15:35No.
15:40No.
15:42No.
15:43No.
15:44No.
15:44No.
15:46No.
15:46No.
15:48No.
15:52No.
