[Olori] Previously on Iyanu...

[Biyi] Iyanu!

[Iyanu] You've been looking for me?

[laughing]

[Zaza] People of the Riverlands...

we have come for The Chosen.

Attack!

[screaming]

Father!

Toye!

-Halt! -We don't want to hurt you.

Don't worry, you won't.

[Ojuwa] Nuro has taken the city.

He has his own security force,

and the Oba refuses to act.

Mama Sewa!

-[fire roaring] -Unh!

[Iyanu] Everyone get ready!

Here they come!

[Biyi] Wonda!

[♪♪♪]

[coughing]

Oh, Siju!

Wasn't me. [coughing]

The glassblower's furnace must have broken again.

[coughing]

[snarling]

Faster!

[Fallen One] Be at your ease.

The girl will never reach the Source.

[Za-Za] Kanfo!

He's injured. We should have him by now.

[warrior] General Za-Za.

[Za-Za] Any sign of the girl?

Two of our best warriors saw her leave the Riverlands

riding a huge leopard.

[Za-Za] A leopard.

[warrior] They were not alone, either.

The son of Kanfo and some young river rat

were on the leopard too.

[groaning]

[Za-Za] Show me the tracks.

[Olori] General Kanfo.

Olori! Why are you here?

We are both after Iyanu,

and now I hear your son is with her.

We should track our children together.

You should be in chains, witch.

This is no time for chest-thumping.

We aren't the only ones searching for them.

[Kanfo] I have no reason to trust you.

[grunting]

[Za-Za] They're headed over Rinku plains.

Oya! People of the Deep, move out!

[Olori] Did you hear?

Rinku plains.

You won't reach your son without help.

My Toye cannot survive such a crossing.

On a leopard, they will move fast.

I suppose Iyanu has removed Ekun's corruption.

If we backtrack to the river,

we might reach our children before Za-Za...

or whoever Nuro might send after them.

[leopard sleeping peacefully]

What's all this?

He's making an escape plan.

We can't just wait for all the Corrupted feral creatures

to come and eat us.

[animals growling]

[shrieking]

Whew.

There are rhinos, lions,

baboons,

ostriches, hyenas...

[rumbling]

[elephant trumpeting]

-An elephant. -An elephant.

[Toye] An elephant.

It won't be much longer

until they all break through that debris.

[leopard snarling]

[Iyanu] Ekun!

Look, you're all better.

Divine creatures heal very quickly.

I've read all about them.

[groaning]

There's more to life than books.

Are you sulking because you led us to our doom,

or is it something else?

Biyi...

it's just... you act like nobody understands you.

Why not explain yourself?

I don't want to get worked up over my sorrows.

Why do you want to?

Because I care.

Ugh!

[animals snarling]

[yelping]

Your secrets are safe with us.

Or they will be, once the Corrupt break through.

Ha.

You said your father was a great man

who somebody got rid of?

That's very vague.

Fine. [sighing]

I am the son of the former king,

Oba Adeniyi.

[gasping]

Oba Adeyinka, there you are.

Do not call me "Oba."

Is this about those strange soldiers?

Like them, I'm merely Nuro's tool.

I have no right to my predecessor's throne.

Brother... what?

It was I

who poisoned our uncle,

Oba Adeniyi.

I was nephew to a childless king.

It was understood that I was the heir

and would someday be Oba.

My cousin Adeyinka was sitting pretty

till I came along.

[Adeyinka] Then a miracle happened.

[Biyi] Suddenly I took Adeyinka's place in line.

He must have felt cheated.

[Adeyinka] Nuro told me I still had

a chance at the throne,

and to my shame, I listened to him.

I slipped a forbidden herb into the king's cup.

It was a slow-acting poison that led to his long illness,

and eventually, his recent death.

[Biyi] I saw it.

[Adeyinka] Then Nuro suggested something even worse.

[Biyi] My cousin took me out past the outer wall...

and left me there.

He must have thought

the Corrupt would finish the job for him.

[Adeyinka] Nuro held the secret over my head

of the awful thing I'd done.

I don't know how I survived,

how long I avoided the Corrupt animals,

but I did, until Mama Sewa found me.

She took me in.

For years, I hid in the Riverlands...

but recently we learned that Oba Adeniyi had passed,

and that cousin Adeyinka was Oba now.

It was like losing my father all over again.

I became king,

and Chancellor Nuro's puppet.

[sniffing]

[Biyi sniffing]

[Biyi] I haven't shed many tears since then.

Brother...

how can I fix this?

[sighing] Fix this?

Where do I begin?

[Adeyinka] You're right.

There is no way to remedy my crime.

I don't deserve to be the Oba.

I never did.

That makes you the rightful Oba.

My king.

-Will you get up? -Get up.

Of course I was just joking.

[chuckling]

[animals roaring]

They're going to break through soon.

We need to get out of here.

We just might,

if we trust each other and work together as a team...

Team Chosen.

I like that. "Team Chosen."

Show me this plan.

[Toye] The Corrupted are making a way out for us.

When they break through, we drive them back

and bolt in the other direction on Ekun.

And get torn to pieces?

Nobody asked you... royal boy.

That's why I didn't want to tell you.

We have two advantages, speed and ranged weapons.

Iyanu covers the front, Biyi covers the rear, I'll...

be holding on to the saddle.

[all] Team Chosen!

[violent rumbling]

[grunting with effort]

[Iyanu] Ekun! Japa!

[roaring]

[explosion]

[roaring]

[explosion]

[crying out]

Go!

-Wonda! -Eee!

[crying out]

[elephant trumpeting]

I must see the Elu Mesi.

No more lies! No more lies!

No more lies!

Omolola speaks for the workers.

Thank you, Bolanle.

Omolola, the council is not assembled.

The Oba is... um...

He's busy. Come back another time.

No more lies! No more lies!

Show them the diary, Omolola!

[gasping] The Chancellor's seal!

I hold in my hand proof

that Nuro and the Oba himself have dishonored the throne.

[clamoring]

[procession halting]

This used to be an oasis.

[Oye] Don't cry, Remi.

[Remi crying]

But Oye, you're crying too.

[procession starting]

[panting]

We won't survive this.

Even a Divine creature like Ekun

can't travel straight to the Source.

[sighing] And if he can't, we can't.

I can.

I mean, I think I can.

I suggest we don't find out.

Right.

No sense in getting the Chosen

halfway across Rinku plains.

If we detour through the swamplands,

we'll reach the Source a day later,

but we'll get to food and water a day sooner.

[gasping] What is... that?

[screaming]

Keep it up, Ekun!

Let's not find out what's in that cloud.

We're keeping ahead of it.

This cat is literally as fast as the wind!

[snarling]

-[crying out] -Whoa!

Don't look down.

[cringing]

Ekun can make the jump.

He's Divine.

[crying out]

Hang on!

[coughing]

[Toye] Poison!

[coughing]

Tell my father...

[coughing]

I love him.

[coughing]

[Biyi] I-I feel...

about the same.

Did it do anything?

[animals howling]

Hear that? The red cloud

must be driving the animals into a frenzy!

But it didn't hurt Ekun.

Whatever that was,

it was meant to only spur on Corrupted creatures.

[Biyi] Them again?

We have to jump it.

Ekun, you can do this.

One... big... leap!

[crying out]

[Biyi] Iyanu!

Oh no!

Aah!

[roaring]

[growling]

[Iyanu panting]

[roaring]

[panting]

[grunting with effort]

[shooting arrow]

Oof!

[grunting]

Let me tend to that injury.

No. You are an Agoni witch and a fugitive.

I can still dress a wound.

[grunting]

I only wish to find the children faster.

You soldiers do know what it means

to lose a loved one.

I lost Toye's mother,

who means as much as he does to me.

Yet I'm sworn to protect my city.

I have literally turned my back on Elu.

Good. Focus on the world outside the walls.

Let's keep moving.

We still have a lot of ground to cover.

No more lies! No more lies!

No more... lies! No more...

That Elite Unit is something new and terrible.

They're spoiling for a fight.

More drama from Nuro.

Disperse.

We will not leave!

The workers are hungry!

The Corrupt plague our district,

while the Elu Mesi hide in comfort

and make empty promises.

We cannot eat lies!

Iro o! We won't!

Nuro and the Oba are scheming frauds!

I have the evidence!

[Bolanle] Evidence! Quite clear!

Omolola...

of course the council members will hear you out.

Would you just come inside to talk?

Just you?

[Omolola] You're asking me to trust you.

[gasping]

[gasping]

What are you foul things?

Not warriors, or you would know...

the Eso must never strike a citizen.

Eso Warriors! Form up!

No!

People, we are all brothers and sisters,

citizens of Elu.

We may struggle to settle our disputes,

but we are not enemies.

You are missed, commander.

[grunting]

Foreign Minister Uwa,

whatever you are about to do,

you had better do it fast.

[groaning]

Maybe... the Chosen can find water?

I don't know.

I can't feel anything,

just dryness and dirt.

Wait!

I feel some kind of natural... something,

maybe a seed?

A seed?

Make it grow like the vines!

[straining]

The vines weren't my doing.

Yes!

[all slurping]

Do it again?

Don't ask me to.

My head hurts,

and I'm thirstier than ever.

What in the world?

Is that a rock formation, or--

[elephant roaring]

[screaming]

[roaring]

[screaming]

It's that same elephant!

He must really hate us!

Haah!

Uh...

[sreaming]

No use.

His skin is too thick, and he's too strong!

He's got a scar over one eye.

Right!

He probably has a blind spot!

Listen, if I can grow some vines,

we can trip him up from his blind spot.

Uh! Ooh!

Unh!

I knew it!

You did grow the vines!

[Iyanu] I didn't!

I barely grew a mango!

Just let me try!

Maybe...

[straining]

Ekun!

[trumpeting]

[groaning with effort]

Hold on, Toye!

Ekun, pull!

[Iyanu] Just... need to catch my breath.

[Fallen One] The strife in Elu is boiling over.

Our... crimes have been exposed.

[Nuro] I can never go back, can I?

[Fallen One] It is time to finish what we started.

Aah!

Creatures! By the curse that lives in you!

Descend upon Elu!

Destroy all you can!

Reduce the city to rubble!

[roaring]

Haah!

[roaring]

Aah!

[gasping]

[sighing]

[roaring]

[rumbling]

[roaring]

[Olori] Forgive me for speaking harshly.

I should not have assumed

you were just an unfeeling soldier.

Let us resolve to not lose any more loved ones.

[Kanfo] Agreed.

[Toye] Iyanu...

you said not to ask for more mangoes, but...

[Iyanu] If there are seeds to grow,

I can't feel them.

[groaning]

This isn't even the harshest part of the desert.

A bit further.

I can just make out the swampland settlement

on the horizon.

[Biyi] Just another mirage.

[groaning]

[Toye groanign]

[groanign]

Get up!

I cannot fail. I'm the...
