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.
01:42You are, you are, you are
01:47You believe in the child of wonder
01:54You believe in the child of love
01:56Falling on you, we are new
02:29Well, I missed

04:12Perhaps you can join her in the forest, otherwise you should address her appropriately, oh yeah!
04:21Go away, forest girl, back where you belong.
04:42Where is the chosen?
04:47You will never find her.
05:04Ianu, tell me what happened.
05:09Laurie, 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.
05:37Tell 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.
05:57Ianu, Ianu, Ianu. How many times did I call for you? Do you think I enjoy wasting my voice? The
06:04forest 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 Elu. Don't approach the other districts of Elu. Never leave the forest.
06:18And why?
06:19Because it's dangerous.
06:21Because it's dangerous. I wonder if the space between your ears is a tunnel or if you deliberately refuse to
06:28listen.
06:29I'm sorry, Eluri. I just wanted to spend some time around other kids. It was nice to hear them laugh
06:36and watch them play.
06:39I know how difficult it must be without friends. I truly understand being alone and cut off. What did the
06:48Inas 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 Agoni. We were priestesses entrusted with the history of Yoruba land. And even that
07:07created a panic. A captive audience is one with a full belly. Your favorite. Pounded yam with goat meat.
07:15Pounded yam with goat meat.
07:24Forgive my manners. Thank you, Eluri.
07:28We were cast out into the forest. I know what fear can do to people. That's why I'm training you
07:35to use your powers correctly. And 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. There
07:59are many matters left unsettled by his passing.
08:04And we of the Illumesi stand by your side. So says Nuro, Chancellor and Bashongnu of the Illumesi. Let us
08:16begin.
08:17My brother, if I may.
08:21Our uncle wished to lift a ban on our citizens exploring the realm outside of the walls. We are in
08:26need of the resources in the-
08:27Blasphemy!
08:28We are in need of the way.
08:29Only our elite Esho warriors have been allowed outside the walls. It has been that way for 500 years.
08:36Elder Laguna. In 500 years, all we have left is squalor in some districts. As an ambassador, it might benefit
08:45you to actually visit people outside of the city.
08:48How dare you? The 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. Our sympathies should not force unwise decisions.
09:04Sympathy without action is worthless. Our uncle saw the wisdom in helping others.
09:10And it was a poor decision by Oba Adeni to allow outsiders within our walls.
09:18If your sympathies lie with the outsiders, feel free to join them in exile.
09:25There's another matter. Our warriors have encountered Ekum, the worst of the corrupted.
09:30That beast tears apart the forest in search of the chosen.
09:33The chosen? Please, Elder Laguna. No more fairy tales. Obade Inga, allow me to address you on matters of fact.
09:43Continue.
09:45The Agoni Witch Onori lives in exile in the forest. I fear she has a devious agenda.
09:53She is the last of the Agoni and may be our 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 are so concerned about the last of the Agoni, I am working on a plan.
10:13I yield! I yield!
10:18How do you always win?
10:21I am not fighting to win.
10:23I am allowing you to exhaust yourself with only defensive moves.
10:27Is that the way of the Agoni?
10:28Partially.
10:30Partially.
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, 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.
11:29Why?
11:31If...
11:31You can save the Inners.
11:34Why did they exile you?
11:36I worked 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?
11:50Correct.
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...
12:05Found 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 you on the sky soon.
12:15Go gather the herbs I need, or we won't be having a flavorful dinner tonight.
12:19Yes, Oluri.
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 Elum Messi 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 Elu.
14:24Perhaps your father is next.
14:33My 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 Elu.
14:43Mercy and the Opa.
14:45You'd better stop.
14:50Mercy and the Opa.
15:27Did 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.
15:53These are false wonders. Unnatural.
15:57No matter. We go around through the main gates and cut her off.
16:04Where is the child? Where is the chosen?
16:08You cannot protect her forever.
16:11You will never find her.
16:21Oh, Laurie! Oh, Laurie!
16:24What is the matter, child?
16:26I tried to help someone who was being mistreated.
16:32And?
16:32They were inside the city.
16:36Where did you go inside the city?
16:37Was it the royal palace?
16:39No. A courtyard in the theater district. Near where they buried the oba. I'm so sorry.
16:47You have nothing to be sorry for. But we must...
16:51Oh, Laurie! Come outside! Now!
16:57We should have known the interloper was connected to you.
17:02Canfo, what business do you have here?
17:06Orders from the Elumeci to apprehend the agoni of the forest.
17:10And anyone found in her company.
17:14Don't you mean orders from Nuru?
17:16Who's Nuru?
17:18Please. We need not make this unpleasant.
17:23Canfo, as I have great respect for you, I suggest you take your own advice.
17:30So be it.
17:32Oh, yeah!
17:35Oh, yeah!
17:40Oh, yeah!
17:43Oh!
17:44Oh!
17:45Oh!
17:46Oh!
17:47Oh!
17:48Oh!
17:55My little wonder. It is time.
17:58Time? For what?
17:59To go to where the water meets the wall. Then you must leave Elu and find the source.
18:06I will stay and fight alongside you.
18:09No! This is your destiny. The truth of your past, it will all be found when you discover the source.
18:15I cannot do this without you.
18:18You can and you will. Do not stop until you find the source.
18:22I don't know where it is!
18:25Trust your instincts. This is what I have been training you for.
18:30Go. Please. Do not worry. We shall meet again. I promise.
18:36This is your last warning. Surrender. Or we will make you.
18:42Well, good luck.
18:56Let God apprehend the girl.
18:59And we will deal with the Agun.
19:20Tenshi!
19:22Tenshi!
19:23Tenshi!
19:30Tenshi!
19:52Where am I?
19:55Don't think I've ever been this deep into the forest.
20:04This is the outer wall.
20:19Oh, Lori, I wish you were here.
20:23I don't know what to do.
20:27I wish I had your faith in me.
20:33Oh, Lori, I wish I had your faith in me.
20:38Stay back!
20:42Echo!
20:44Echo!
20:48Echo!
20:49Echo!
20:49Echo!
20:54Echo!
20:55You are, you are, you are, you are, you are.
