Previously on Iyanu...

[grunting]

-Kicking?
-Stay back, Thief!

My name is Biyi, not Thief!

Finding the child
is of utmost concern.

We shall find the girl.

[Uwa] I hear whispers
of a coming darkness.

[Olori] Unless you find Iyanu,

for she is the only one
that can save us all.

You are going to accompany us
on the mission

to capture
the escaped forest girl.

Maybe this will teach you
how to stand up for yourself.

-[gasping]
-[rhino grunting]

You are The Chosen!

[groaning]

[???]

[Kanfo] Let's go!

Father... you never answered
Foreign Minister Uwa's question.

Why did the Oba and Chancellor

order such a big operation

to search for a young girl?

The answer
is in the question itself;

because the Oba
and Chancellor ordered it.

But do you ever question
your orders, Father?

What if it doesn't make sense?

-What if it's... wrong?
-[Kanfo sighing]

What if it is my duty?

I have sworn an oath
to the Oba,

no matter how confusing
his decisions may be.

We are Eso warriors.

We serve at the pleasure
of the Oba,

and the Chancellor
speaks for him,

so if he says
this is what we are doing,

then this is what we are doing.

But, Father,

duty shouldn't be more important
than what's right.

Nothing should be.

[Kanfo grumbles]

You sound
just like your mother.

Warriors, what are we doing,

relaxing in a spa?

Go!

[???]

[snoring]

[inhaling sleepily]

[snoring]

[???]

? You are, you are ?

? Iwo ni o ?

? You are, you are ?

? Iyanu o ?

? Do you believe
in the child of wonder? ?

? Do you believe
in the child of light? ?

? Calling on you, Iyanu ?

[bee buzzing]

[snoring]

[gasping]
Why are you staring at me?

I wasn't, I just...

[clearing throat]

If you saw me cleanse
a corrupted rhino,

you'd be staring at me too.

Hmm, you have a point.

[Biyi] I can't believe
you are The Chosen

from the old stories
and prophecies. You!

[Iyanu] I'm not-

[Biyi] Now I see why
you were being so secretive.

Of course The Chosen would be.

It all makes sense.

I thought The Chosen
would be taller,

but you're just-

A girl?

Exactly. I'm just a girl

who needs supplies
for my journey.

Enough with this
Chosen business.

[sighing]

Where am I, anyway?

[Biyi] Oh, yeah.

You're welcome... Chosen.

I brought you to my village
like you asked me to.

[Iyanu] Don't call me that.

[Biyi] Okay, okay,

I won't then... Inner.

[Iyanu, angrily]
I told you, my name is-

Iyanu, you're awake.

Huh?
How do you know my name?

Ugh, call you by your name,

don't call you by your name.

Make up your mind, ahn ahn.

Biyi, quiet.

Do not be frightened, child.

You are safe here.

[Iyanu] All right...

Where is here?

And who are you?

[Sewa] We are
in The Riverland Settlement,

and I am Mama Sewa.

Mama Sewa
takes care of everyone

here in the Riverlands.

Come, let us show you around.

[villagers calling]
Ahn ahn! Ba wo ni?

Mama Sewa. E! K���ro.

[everyone greeting in Yoruba]

[gasping in wonder]

Wow!

I didn't know people lived
so far outside the walls.

[Sewa] The Obas and the Elu Mesi

exiled us
for the pettiest of crimes,

like stealing a mango to eat,

or so-called disorderly conduct,

or crossing the street
in front of the Eso

without permission,

but if you are
who Biyi says you are,

then perhaps you can help us
return to an Age of Wonders,

when there was unity
in Yorubaland,

and people were only exiled
for actual crimes.

Someone I care about
is in danger.

I don't think I am
who you think I am.

I just need supplies
for my journey, that's all.

Mm-mm, I saw you cleanse
that corrupted rhino

with my own eyes.

If you are not The Chosen,
then what are you?

Mm-mm.

[Sewa] I see.

Well, may I show you something

that might be helpful
to your journey?

[Iyanu]
I guess that would be okay.

What do you know about
the Age of Wonders, child?

Nothing o.

She doesn't know anything
about our history.

[Sewa] Maybe knowing
more of our history

will spark your sense of duty.

Look down.

This is the story
of Yorubaland

during the Age of Wonders.

The Divine Ones
were mighty guardians

sent to Yorubaland by Eleda

thousands of years ago.

Led by the First Father, Joba,

the Divine Ones were
spiritual guides for humanity,

and for a thousand years,

we lived in an Age of Wonders,

a time filled with peace,

prosperity, and marvels.

But... peace
and prosperity ended

when the First Father's son

was seduced by dark magic,

and became the Fallen One.

He thought humans
should worship the Divine Ones.

The Divine and humans
split into two camps-

The Armies of Light

who relied upon
pure Divine power,

and the Armies of Darkness,

who were fueled
by false wonders.

Thus began the Divine Wars.

Father, did you know
all of this?

Everybody hears those stories,

and that's all they are,

stories.

[Siju] Let me help you
with that, Chancellor.

My friend, would you move away?

Do not touch this, ever!

Eh?

[groaning nervously]

[Kanfo]
A warrior has to be present.

[Toye] Yes, Father.

So you must pay attention
to the world around you

instead of the ones
inside your books.

But I like the worlds
inside my books.

They are not as dangerous
as the world out here-

[warrior] Corrupt animal ahead!

[Toye gasping]

Father, look!

We are well beyond
the walls now,

so you will see
corrupted animals.

Here, put this on.

It will mask your scent.

[coughing]

[Kanfo chuckling]

It is not perfume,

but it is necessary.

Warriors!

Cover yourselves with the dust.

We are deep
in corrupted animal territory!

[soldiers] Yes, Eso!

Maybe instead of
a warrior like you,

I can be a Word Warrior.

You are stubborn,

but at least
you have conviction.

-[slamming brakes]
-Whoa!

Scout, what is it?

General Kanfo,

these appear to be
the girl's tracks.

[Kanfo] Fresh footprints...

and it looks like
she went in that direction.

Good work.

[Sewa] So,
does knowing your history

fill you with a sense of duty?

My only duty

is to get supplies
for my journey.

If you don't have arrows,
water, and food,

I'll just be on my way.

Ehn? Little girl!

You dare speak to Mama Sewa
with such disrespect?

I've told you many times

that I must help
someone important to me.

Does that not matter
to the people of the Riverlands?

[crowd gasping in shock]

Guards, seize her.

[gasping in shock]

What?

That escalated quickly.

But why?

I didn't do anything!

Because if you aren't
who Biyi says you are,

then you give me no choice

but to treat you
like an intruder.

Surrender quietly, intruder,

and we will not hurt you.

My name is Iyanu,

and I'm really tired
of people calling me things

that start with "in"!

Do not try to fight us.

You will not win.

[crowd chanting]
Fight! Fight! Fight!

[grunting, blows thudding]

Wonda!

The Inner's got some moves.

[Sewa] She's trained
in the ways of The Agoni

very well.

[crowd laughing]

She's outnumbered.

Wait.

Trust me.

[???]

[man gasping in pain]

[grunting with impact]

[???]

[crowd gasping in amazement]

[Sewa] Guards, stop at once.

This girl is The Chosen.

[all gasping]
Oh! Wow! The Chosen!

It would be a great honor
to serve you, my Chosen Child.

I might have to stop
calling you "Inner" now.

You really proved yourself
out there... Iyanu.

I... I'm not... The Chosen...

[sighing in exhaustion]

General Kanfo,

according to the girl's tracks,

she is likely
one or two days ahead of us.

[Kanfo] All right.

Warriors, it's getting late.

Let us break camp here

and pick up the pace
in the morning.

Create a dust perimeter

to keep the corrupted animals
at bay.

-Of course, General.
-Yes, sir.

Hmm...

What's that?

[gasping]

Looks like part of an artifact

from the Age of Wonders.

"The Divine Wars raged,

and the Fallen One
cursed Yorubaland

by corrupting
all land-dwelling animals.

He was caught and exiled
to an eternal prison,

but it was too late.

Only one thing
can undo the Curse,

a mortal
with innate Divine Power

who connects to The Source."

Whoa...

[beasts snarling nearby]

[murmuring in fright]

[beasts snarling]

Father!

Son, calm down.

-[crying]
-It's only me.

[growling fading]

[sighing in relief]

Eleda be praised.

Corrupt animals are everywhere.

Our dust should be enough
to keep them out,

at least the small ones.

What were you doing
over there, son?

I was admiring this artifact
from the Age of Wonders.

It's even more majestic
than Mother's books described.

Why don't we ever
talk about her?

[sighing heavily]

Because it makes us sad.

Maybe talking about her
will make us less sad?

[chuckling fondly]

Well, she was persistent,

just like you.

She loved books,

and she was a brilliant writer.

She was very spiritual,

with great integrity.

An honorable woman.

[Toye] She sounds amazing!

[Kanfo chuckling fondly]

[Sewa]
Here, drink this, child.

[Iyanu gasping]

[gulping]

Thanks.

So thirsty...

So, do you still
just want arrows, food,

and water for your journey,

or will you stay
and help Yorubaland?

I'm sorry, I just...

there's something important,

someone important who needs me.

Hmm, would that someone be...

Olori?

[gasping in surprise]

The way you fought.

You are clearly
an apprentice of the Agoni,

and Olori is the last
of the Agoni,

so she is the person

you are on a mission
to save, right?

Yes.

She means everything to me.

And you mean everything
to everyone.

I didn't ask for these powers.

I don't want to be The Chosen,

I just want to be Iyanu.

Well, you are not just Iyanu.

For 500 years,

the people of Yorubaland
have been forced to hide

because of the Curse,

but you can restore harmony

and equality in Yorubaland.

All right, tell you what, child.

Give me a few days to teach you
how to control your powers,

then you can choose
what you want to do.

You'll be more help to Olori

if you have more control
over your powers.

I suppose
I can be more help to Olori

if I control my powers better.

Can I come?

[Sewa] No.

You Need to go and help
Mr. Ogbeni as I asked,

or you will suffer
the consequences

for ignoring Mama Sewa.

[Biyi] All right, I'm going.

Come, child,
your training begins now.

As The Chosen,

you have a trinity of powers-

unnatural, natural,
and supernatural.

First is the energy
of the unnatural.

With this power,

The Chosen is able
to harness the chaos

inside of lifeless
or unnatural objects.

[Iyanu] That's amazing!

[Sewa] Next
is the energy of the natural.

This ability gives The Chosen

the power to manipulate
all of plant life.

[Iyanu] All of plant life?

[Sewa] Yes.

With practice, you can even
accelerate the growth of seeds.

[Iyanu] Incredible.

[Sewa] Finally,

there is the energy
of the supernatural,

the most difficult to master
of the trinity.

It gives The Chosen the ability
to create Divine constructs,

and when you're strong enough,

cure the Corrupt.

These three powers,

unnatural, natural,
and supernatural,

they build on each other,

so to get to The Source,

you must master all three.

Okay!

So far, your powers
have been activated

in response to conflict,

and your body overloads
with energy.

That is why you pass out.

Yes, that makes sense.

You must learn
to activate your powers

from a place of peace

to control the chaos within.

Got it.

You know, rushing through this
will only delay your training.

I'm sorry, Mama Sewa.

I meant no disrespect.

[Sewa] Good. Close your eyes.

Go inside your mind

to a place
that brings you peace.

You will practice harnessing
your unnatural powers.

For this, you need to master
inner peace.

Go back to your mind-tree.

Inner peace. Inner Peace...

[Sewa] Feel the chaos
within the object.

Ow!

[groaning]

It's no use. I can't focus!

I keep thinking about Olori

and if she really needs me.

I know
it does not seem that way,

but this is more important.

Maybe we will have better luck
with your natural powers.

[???]

To master your natural powers,

you must be able to feel
the energy within plants.

You can do this

once you master oneness
with all things.

Go to a peaceful place
in your mind.

Feel the energy within the tree.

I think I feel...

something.

I...

I did it.

Not the tree, but still.

Very good, child.

Thank you, Mama Sewa!

How much longer

until I am good enough
to help Olori?

[Sewa] Come,

I must show you something.

[Olori] Ah...
the great Chancellor Nuro.

What an unpleasant surprise.

Huh.

Quite a bold and brazen attitude

for someone in shackles.

Tell me where the child is!

You have been-

Oh, yes.

I... have seen the prophecy.

Then you know
you will never find Iyanu.

You are destined to fail,
just like before.

It is written.

[Nuro grunts]

[Iyanu gasping] That's... me.

[Sewa] You are the child

who was blessed
by the First Father Joba.

You emerged
from within the Earth

to save it.

That is the prophecy
of The Chosen,

the prophecy of you, Iyanu.

[Iyanu] Emerged from the Earth.

Olori did find me in the forest.

-Olori!
-[Sewa gasps]

She's in danger!

I-I can feel it.

I have to save her!

You can save us, Iyanu!

[Iyanu]
I can't turn my back on Olori.

[sighing deeply]

[Sewa] I did not wish
to have to tell you this,

but I too was once
a member of the Agoni.

You were?

Do you know Olori?

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to tell you

that your Olori had me exiled.

She would never do that.

That is not the Olori I know.

[Sewa] Well, she did.

You might not know her
as well as you believe.

[groaning]

[Kanfo] As many times

as I've taught you
how to light a fire,

it just seems to fly
right out of your head,

but you know everything

about this Age of Wonders
foolishness.

[Toye grunting with effort]

[Kanfo] Here, let me help.

Don't worry, Father.

There is room in my head
for everything you've taught me

and our history.

More like "his story,"

whoever made it up

so people would feel better
about their existence.

[Toye groans]

[Kanfo] All right,

read me something about the...
Age of Wonders.

It has been a long time

since someone read me
a fairy tale.

[Iyanu] No matter
how many times you say it,

I will never believe
Olori would exile anyone.

All right.

Let me ask you a question.

Has Olori ever
hidden anything from you

or behaved strangely?

[gasping]

What are you doing?

Do not touch that, ever!

Oneness with all things,
oneness with all things.

Oneness with all things,
oneness with all things...

[gasping in delight]

Oneness with all things,
oneness with all things...

[gasping]

[gasping]

[???]

[Sewa] There you go, child.

[Iyanu gasps and laughs]

Did I do that?

Yes, child, you did!

[warrior]
It must be false wonders.

[warrior gasping] Such power!

She's over there!

At dawn, we move out,

get her, and return to Elu.

Get some rest.

[warriors] Yes, sir!

[Olori] Your decisions

have always been terrible,

except once.

You do know me the best,

and yet,
the Agoni are still finished,

and your little apprentice Iyanu

will still soon be
a distant memory.

Do you know
what I think about often?

I do not, nor do I care.

I think about

what our parents
would think of us,

and what you have become...

brother.

? You are, you are ?

? Iwo ni o ?

? You are gonna
save us from danger ?

? You are, you are ?

? Iyanu o ?

? Calling on you, Iyanu ?

? You are
You are, you are ?

? You are, you are, you are ?

? You are
You are, you are ?

? Iwo ni o ?

? You are ?
