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.
01:55Joruba Land
01:57All in on you, we are new.
02:29Well, I missed.
02:32No child should be without her parent.
02:41Wow.
03:06Let the Alarindro 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
03:25and bring relief 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.
03:46Toye, are you taking sides with this vine rat?
03:51Rude, I have a name.
03:54No.
03:55She'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.
04:03The 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.
04:14Otherwise, you should address her appropriately.
04:17Oh yeah.
04:20Good way.
04:23Forest girl.
04:24Back where you belong.
04:41Where is the chosen?
04:47You will never find her.
04:51You will never find her.
05:04Ianu, tell me what happened.
05:08Lori, I...
05:10When I got upset, I...
05:13Yes.
05:14I heard the thunder.
05:16It is nothing to be ashamed of.
05:18It was different this time.
05:21How?
05:22What made it different?
05:25I heard voices.
05:26What did you hear?
05:27What did you hear?
05:28Was 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 alright, 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 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, Eluri.
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 Agoni.
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, Eluri.
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 Elumeci stand by your side.
08:09So says Nuro, Chancellor and Bashongnu of the Elumeci.
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.
08:57People 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.
09:10And 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.
09:26Our warriors have encountered Ekum, the worst of the corrupted.
09:30That beast tears apart the forest in search of the chosen.
09:46The chosen?
09:57Yeah!
09:58einen
09:59anything happens to her one less exile to worry about but since you're so concerned about the
10:05last of the agony i am working on a plan i yield i yield how do you always win i'm
10:22not fighting
10:22to win i'm allowing you to exhaust yourself with only defensive moves is that the way of the agony
10:28partially we believe that fighting should be the last resort not the first instinct why because
10:36not every opponent is your enemy not every enemy is your opponent it'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
10:59we're the enemy or not this is why they are going to be exiled where are you going the inners
11:06are
11:06terrified because the corrupt are becoming bolder making them even more dangerous why do you have
11:13them in cages to show you how they are going to cleanse the corruption
11:28wow
11:29wow if you can save the inners why did they exile you i work to save them because everything in
11:39this
11:39world is symbiotic we all depend on each other in a grand circle of life what happens to one of
11:46us
11:46this affects us all right correct they need us and we need them
11:56are you exiled because of me because of my past what past you know the story of how i found
12:05you
12:05found you in the forest yes but i didn't spring up from the ground like a weed where do i
12:12come 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
12:27uh why have you brought me here elder lakwani i appreciate your time i wanted you to see something
12:35my brother and nuro wish to ignore why are you insistent upon challenging nuro this marketplace is a
12:42reflection of the current state of our land a small group of elites ruling over a large working class
12:48with no chance at a better life as it has been for a long time we in the elu mesi
12:54have done what we
12:55could to ensure fairness have 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
13:17i saw around here
13:21maybe i did dream it up perhaps it's closer to the tunnel
13:28how long do you plan on hanging at the upper's grave it's far too late for him to grant you
13:34a backbone
13:35have you no respect i do that is why we will leave this place so that you might
13:41learn a lesson in courage have you heard about echo the mightiest and meanest of the corrupted
13:49a very powerful beast they say he searches for the chosen and that certainly isn't you
13:57okay
13:59should we get toy and know he must learn to fight his own battles
14:13because you're so weak you'd likely be ekon's first victim
14:18they say he's eating many of the esho the bravest warriors in elu perhaps your father is next
14:32my father camphor is the greatest of yes but my father is the upper the esho protect us all from
14:41the corrupt including the elume sea and the upper you'd better stop
15:06so
15:06so
15:06so
15:07so
15:07so

15:39i guess i've overstayed my welcome
15:48she's just through here
15:52these are false wonders unnatural no matter we go around through the main gates and cut her off
