00:00Previously on Yanu
00:02My supernatural abilities are fixing the ship?
00:06I'm sorry Yanu, we weren't able to knock out the shipyard
00:11Get out of here, forest girl
00:13She's done nothing to us
00:14My father is the opa
00:17He must learn to fight his own battles
00:23What's this?
00:25Dark paper?
00:27What you feel is anchored in the bad places of your past
00:31To become the greatest ruler of the deep
00:33You must only look forward
00:36I must focus upon the destruction of everyone
00:46I think the engine is done for
00:48Yanu, are you sure?
00:51You did reactivate the ship using your supernatural powers twice
00:57And there's always the possibility that
01:13We'll need to find another way to get back to Elu
01:17Then let's head to the trading post a few miles downstream
01:21We're going to need some supplies real soon
01:24What trading post?
01:26Right before we landed here
01:28I saw a trading post further down the river
01:31But I also noticed something else about the river
01:36Like what?
01:39Adora's entire invasion fleet seems to have vanished
01:43We should have been able to see it from the sky
01:46But all those ships are gone
01:48Excellent observation, my child
01:52Something feels off
01:53And I have a bad feeling about it
01:56But we cannot do anything about it from here
01:59We need to get back to Elu quickly
02:01Let's get moving
02:28Let's get moving
02:39yes we're all hungry too i don't know what to do with you and your bottomless belly i'm

03:59after a while elu became a distant memory along with everyone left inside
04:05b it's unfortunate that this boy is one of your last surviving relatives
04:11abby is one of the worst people i have ever known
04:14mm-hmm it's true i watched him tease and harass toy over and over again he was cruel mean and
04:22deserves
04:22not even a speck of kindness iyanu what did you just learn about empathy

05:02our warriors have returned with items captured from our local raids
05:05we have grains from the east metal works from the miners and thank you noble bodu we are not simple
05:13thieves and raiders we are taking back what is rightfully ours of course years ago you taught me
05:22that this isn't a simple invasion this is about the restoration of the natural order with us at the top
05:30of

06:03please allow me to make amends i'm not sure we should
06:29trust that the food is adequate
06:32happy why did you leave elu
06:37and how did you end up here i made some changes to my life after the corrupt animals attacked elu
06:57we must protect the of our song
06:59we must protect the of our song
07:16Abe, we will distract them. As soon as we engage, you'll run as fast as a gazelle into the building.
07:23You'll be safe there.
07:41You...people are from the workers' districts, correct?
07:44Yes, we are.
07:46I cannot believe you're cowering in here instead of defending your district.
07:51If you don't know, this area is for those from the inner walls.
07:55You shouldn't take space from more deserving citizens.
08:01Deserve is a word that I would truly learn the meaning of.
08:06After the Chosen had freed the land of corruption, the people were justifiably happy.
08:13But all I could do is soak in my bedroom because none of the attention was focused on me.
08:23Enter!
08:27Yes?
08:28What is it?
08:33I'm sorry, Abe.
08:35It is my unpleasant duty to inform you...
08:38that your father, Oba Adeinka?
08:43No!
08:45He fought bravely against the fallen one.
08:48If it were not for your father's actions, we might have...
08:53No!
08:56No!
08:58Please come back to me!
09:01Please, Father.
09:03Come back!
09:06In that moment, everything that I've ever known about purpose, about love, was taken away from me.
09:20I know that the only reason I had friends, why people were nice to me, was because I was the
09:27son of the Oba.
09:31My mother didn't understand my intentions, but she respected my decision as long as I promised I would someday return
09:40to Elu.
09:41I realized that I had no idea who I was without my father behind me.
09:47With the corruption gone, I believed that it was the proper time for me to learn more about the world
09:54outside of the city walls.
09:57It requires a great deal of maturity for one as young as yourself to realize your limitations.
10:04Um, was that a sneaky insult?
10:09I mean, we could all learn from this example, right?
10:14No, we can't.
10:16We all have lost things in our lives, but that doesn't give anyone the right to mistreat those we think
10:22are weaker.
10:24Toye, can you just listen to me?
10:26Listen to what? I was tired of your voice ten seconds after we met as children.
10:31All you've ever done is hide behind your family.
10:34Like you hid behind yours?
10:36Toye, calm down. Isn't that the advice you always give to me?
10:40I've gained so much from inner peace.
10:43You should give it a try, eh?
10:46Abby, why were you always so mean to me?
10:51Toye, you have every right to hate me.
10:55But to answer your question, I was jealous of you.
11:13Before we reclaim our birthright, I want each and every one of you
11:20to remember all of the children lost because of our exile.
11:25We sent the babies of the deep to infiltrate Elu
11:29so that one day we'd have an army advancing from all sides and within those walls.
11:37Striking when you least expect it.
11:40As we attack, remember that some of the children of the deep
11:46were brainwashed by the excesses of Elu
11:49while others remain loyal,
11:52waiting silently for the moment they can rise
11:56and join their true brothers and sisters.
12:07When we cross the Elu
12:09their walls will tumble into the earth
12:13and the people of the deep
12:15will bring equality and freedom
12:18to anyone who swears loyalty to me.
12:35Abby, jealous of me?
12:40That makes no sense.
12:42You think he's going to be okay?
12:45Ah, who knows?
12:47These Inas.
12:48Mm-hmm.
12:50City people.
12:51Whatever.
12:52They don't behave like the rest of us.
12:54We all have feelings, Biggie.
12:57Different people express themselves in different ways.
13:01Sure.
13:02And sometimes they don't express themselves at all,
13:05which can be a dangerous thing.
13:08Where are we going?
13:10This is the area I do my fishing.
13:12A few weeks ago, I found something interesting.
13:17Something I think you may also find interesting.
13:21Are we going to pretend that we didn't hear what you said earlier
13:25about being jealous of me?
13:28It isn't easy to admit.
13:33I was envious of how comfortable you were being yourself.
13:44And instead of following in his footsteps, you decided to be a bookworm.
13:49Or scrollkeeper.
13:51Or scrollkeeper.
13:52Whatever you prefer.
13:53I like scrolls.
13:56Despite your father's wishes, you continued to pursue your studies of history, engineering,
14:03economics, and art.
14:06As the son of an Oba, I never knew who or what to be.
14:13Only that I was supposed to live up to a standard.
14:15Hmm.
14:17And you felt like you couldn't make your father proud?
14:21Sometimes.
14:22And other times, I just hated the fact that so many schoolgirls wished you'd pay attention
14:27to them rather than your scrolls.
14:30Toei?
14:32A lady's man?
14:34Now I know I can't believe anything Abe says.
14:38Oh!
14:39Yes!
14:40Before I forget.
14:46I found these symbols.
14:48Glyphs!
14:49Glyphs!
14:50When I first arrived here, they stood out to me because they resembled the images I saw
14:55on some of the mother scrolls back in Elu.
15:00Ah!
15:01None of these glyphs match!
15:08Wait!
15:09Oh!
15:10Ah!
15:11Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:13It all makes sense!
15:14Someone put these glyphs on the trees next to the water so they can be read correctly backwards
15:21in the reflection!
15:23Ah!
15:24Oh!
15:25Oh!
15:26Well, what does it say?
15:28Ah!
15:28It says something about, er, an acolyte, and darkness, and...
15:35I don't know what the last ones say, but I will figure it out no matter what!
15:41Ah!
15:42Ah!
15:45Ah!
15:46Ah!
15:47Ah!
15:50Ah!
15:52Ah!
15:53Ah!
15:54Ah!
15:54Ah!
15:55Ah!
15:56Ah!
15:56Ah!
16:00Ah!
16:05Ah!
16:09Ah!
16:09Ah!
16:14Slipper agents of the deep.
16:40Oh, come on, you stupid beings, do something now.
16:44Maybe a tidal wave or something.
17:05Welcome to my life.
17:18Hey, Ronin's scared already?
17:22No, they're heading back to the trading posts.
17:26We need to stop them immediately.
17:28Why are the people of the deep hiding in random trading posts?
17:32I don't know, but I've seen those tattoos a few times after I left them.
17:39My people wish to disrupt the new economy of Yoruba land.
17:43There is nothing random about their attacks.
17:45It's all for the sake of making their conquest easier.
17:54I have no scientists, but those look like...
17:58Explosives!
17:59.
17:59.
18:26Quiet, look out!
18:35That's not what I meant to do!
18:44Abby, I'm sorry for blowing up your home.
19:00Why does it look like you're leaving?
19:02Because I am!
19:03You all have inspired me to do even more than I've done here.
19:08I've learned that my purpose is to explore all of Yoruba land and help others wherever I can.
19:13Thank you for saving me during the fight.
19:21There was one other thing I learned about purpose.
19:25More important than helping others is the ability to find and build a family.
19:31Abby, you will find your purpose one day, my cousin.
19:38I hope to see you again.
19:41And one more thing.
19:42There's a riverboat path near the glyph trees.
19:45It's my old royal boat.
19:48Feel free to use it if you plan on making it back to Elu.
19:53Goodbye, Abby!
20:04Toye, did you discover anything else?
20:07Yes.
20:08I think some of those glyphs weren't all words.
20:12If you appear to be numbers, like dates and coordinates...
20:19Go safely, my darlings.
20:21Your father and I are so proud of you.
20:24It is a great honor to be chosen to be the agents of change that will let us reclaim our
20:29ancestral homeland at the appointed time.
20:34Perhaps a commemoration?
20:36The Day of the Deep!
20:38Our people remember the day when Prince Debo was exiled from Elu.
20:42Oh, a time of anger, sadness, and a call for revenge.
20:47Why do I have a feeling?
20:50That's when the people of the Deep attack Elu.
20:54You are, you are, you are, you are, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to,
21:01want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me
21:07to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want
21:19me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to,
21:20want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me
21:20to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want
21:20me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to, want me to,
21:20want me to, want me to.
