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.
01:33need for the Talmud.
01:34you are, you are, you are one year, oh.
01:41you are, you are, you are, God, oh oh.
01:50Do you believe in a child of wonder? Do you believe in a child of love?
02:29Well, I missed. No child should be without her parent.
02:41Wow.
03:06Let the Alarindro deliver praise upon a departed king.
03:11Oba Adeni, Meeleda, our almighty creator, rest his soul.
03:19Our songs of memory and gratitude will carry him to the realm of the ancestors and bring relief to the
03:27people of Elu.
03:36Get out of here, forest girl. You are not welcome within the inner walls of Elu.
03:42Abi, stop it now. She's done nothing to us.
03:46Toei, are you taking sides with this vine rat?
03:50It's rude. I have a name.
03:54No. She's not important right now. We 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. Otherwise, you should address her appropriately. Oh yeah?
04:21Go away. Forest girl. Back where you belong.
04:41Where is the chosen?
04:47You will never find her.
05:04Iyanu. Tell me what happened.
05:08Lori, I... When I got upset...
05:13Yes. I heard the thunder. It is nothing to be ashamed of.
05:18It was different this time.
05:21How? What made it different?
05:25I heard voices.
05:26What did you hear?
05:27Was it them? The Divine Ones. What did they say?
05:32Please. No time for your stubbornness. Tell me.
05:38I don't know. I couldn't understand what they were saying. It 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. They 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.
06:06I 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.
06:23I wonder if the space between your ears is a tunnel,
06:26or if you deliberately refuse to listen.
06:29I'm sorry, Uluri.
06:30I just wanted to spend some time around other kids.
06:34It 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, Uluri.
07:28We were cast out into the forest.
07:31I 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 Elumesi stand by your side.
08:09So says Nuro, Chancellor and Bashongnu of the Elumesi.
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.
08:38In 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.
08:55People 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, Elda Laguna. 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.
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!
10:18How 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.
11:01This 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.
11:29Who...
11:30If you can save the Inners!
11:34Why 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. They need us, and we need them.
11:56Are you exiled because of me? Because of my past?
12:01What past? You know the story of how I found you-
12:05I found you in the forest, yes, but I didn't spring up from the ground like a weed. Where do
12:11I come from?
12:12The sun will hang on the sky soon. Go gather the herbs I need or we won't be having a
12:17flavorful dinner tonight.
12:19Yes, Uluri.
12:28Ua, why have you brought me here?
12:30Elder Alakwani, I appreciate your time. I 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 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. Now let's see if I can track down that
13:17glowing 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. That is why we will leave this place so that you might learn a lesson in courage.
13:43Have you heard about Ekko? The mightiest and meanest of the corrupted.
13:48A very powerful beast. They say he searches for the chosen.
13:52And that certainly isn't you.
13:58Kampo, should we get Toye and-
14:01No. He must learn to fight his own battles.
14:13Because you are so weak, you would likely be Ekko's first victim.
14:18They say he's eating many of the Esho.
14:21The bravest warriors in Elu.
14:24Perhaps your father is next.
14:33My father Kampo is the greatest of your show.
14:36Yes, but my father is the upper man.
14:39The Esho protect us all from the corrupt, including the Ellume Messie.
14:44And the upper-
14:45You'd better stop-
14:47No, no.
14:50No!
14:51No...
14:51No!
14:51No!
14:53No, no!
14:57No!
15:04I don't know.
15:28Did 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!
15:52These are false wonders.
15:55Unnatural.
15:56No matter.
15:58We go around through the main gates and cut her off.
16:04Where is the child?
16:06Where is the chosen?
16:08You cannot protect her forever.
16:11You will never find her.
16:21Oh, Laurie!
16:24What is the matter, child?
16:26I tried to help someone who was being restricted.
16:31And?
16:32They were inside the city.
16:36Where did you go inside the city?
16:37Was it the royal palace?
16:39No.
16:40A courtyard in the theater district.
16:42Near where they buried the oba.
16:45I'm so sorry.
16:47You have nothing to be sorry for.
16:49But we must...
16:51Oh, Laurie!
16:52Come outside!
16:53Now!
16:56We should have known the interloper was connected to you.
17:02Canfou.
17:03Canfou.
17:04What business do you have here?
17:05Orders from the Elumeci to apprehend the Agoni of the forest.
17:10and anyone found in her company.
17:13Don't you mean orders from Nuru?
17:16Who's Nuru?
17:18Please, we need not make this unpleasant.
17:23Kan-Fu, as I have great respect for you,
17:27I suggest you take your own advice.
17:30So be it.
17:32Oya!
17:55My little wonder, it is time.
17:57Time? For what?
17:59To go to where the water meets the wall.
18:02Then 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.
18:50Good luck.
18:56Let God!
18:57Apprehend the girl!
18:59And we will deal with the Agun.
19:21Tenshi!
19:22Tenshi!
19:24I don't know.
19:25I don't know.
19:26I don't know.
19:53I don't know.
19:56I don't think I've ever been this deep into the forest.
20:03This is the outer wall.
20:19Oh, Laurie, I wish you were here.
20:22I don't know what to do.
20:27I wish I had your faith in me.
20:38Stay back!
20:43I don't know what to do.
20:48I don't know.
20:48I don't know.
20:59I don't know.
21:05You are, you are, you are, you are, you are.
