Previously on Iyanu:

All the animals of this land

will be my instruments of destruction!

Hunting humanity for generations!

So I can leave with you and allow the fallen to destroy everything,

or help everyone else I care about but never see you again?

It is the cycle of life.

The chosen!

I love you, Iyanuoluwa.

I am sorry I couldn't save us both, Remy.

I regret to inform you that we were unable to capture the chosen.

However...

She's only cleared the path for the destruction of Elu

and the rise of the people of the deep.

Iyanu, my daughter.

Take care of her, my old friend.

I love you, Iyanuoluwa.

Yes, Ekun.

I'm fine.

You know, I love watching the sunrise.

(GROWLS)

I'm not ready to go back to Elu yet.

And why are you complaining about the cold?

You've got a nice coat of fur.

OK, if that's how you want to do it,

remember that when snow melts, it turns to water!

And you hate being wet!

(EXPLOSION)

Huh?

Huh?

What?

We need to get this thing out of here.

You can't just move the machine.

Always talking about technology!

Help!

Get her away from here!

What is going on here?

Ah, Chosen, thank you so much for rescuing our people.

These machines have been appearing all over the region.

And there are those who wish to capitalise on this technology.

When did this begin?

About two months ago,

when the land was cleansed...

..Of the corrupted animals.

This cannot be a coincidence.

What if I'm the reason the ancient technology has returned?

I think our little vacation is about to end.

We need to see if the return

of wonders is causing trouble for anyone else.

- You saved us! - You saved us!

Or maybe we can hang out here a little while?

Can't hurt to fill up on supplies.

And our bellies!

My Queen Adura.

Speak.

I just got word that our scout force,

led by Zaza, are passing the mountain range on their way to Elu.

They've secured the critical position to send

the signal for our people to strike.

(LAUGHS) Within a matter of days

we will take our revenge upon those who exiled our people.

(LAUGHS)

Soon, the city of Elu will taste

the wrath of the people of the deep.

Is this a representation of Lugo's anvil?

Hmm. Never seen these before.

(RUMBLING)

What's this?

Dark paper? Red glyphs?

Who could have...

Nice moves, city boy.

Biyi, I could have hurt you.

Perhaps. But you really should watch your back.

Eh, I knew it was you.

Really?

I could smell you from ten feet away.

When is the last time you washed your hair?

You wish you had hair like this, brother.

What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Elu?

I was in Elu and then I wasn't.

It's much more fun to be out in the wilderness

and helping the people settle into new trading posts

and establishing villages.

But by all rights, you should be the rightful Oba.

You're technically next in the line of succession.

Thanks, professor. I'm well aware of that.

It wasn't fun to be with the Elu Mesi, especially after

what those filthy gorillas did to the throne room.

Ah, yes. That was such a mess.

I'm very happy to give the throne to them and serve as foreign minister.

Minister Biyi!

Ah, yes. You're right. That sounds rather silly.

You said you could have hurt me!

Show me those warrior moves your dad taught you.

You asked for it too.

My Queen. It is beginning.

Now to see how much further

until I get close to the ruins of the city of Mimo.

No! This can't be happening!

I've got to get a message to Elu and all of the major settlements!

You had a huge trough full!

Let me enjoy this!

It's been a long time since I had meat this tender.

Almost as good as what Olori used to make.

Anyway, if you're still hungry,

you're welcome to go hunting for more food.

(SHOUTING)

What happened to you? Are you OK?

Chosen! The trading post at the base of the mountain,

it was attacked by the people of the deep!

The people of the deep!

They destroyed Biyi's village and caused Mama Sewa to...

- Are you certain it was them? - Yes, Chosen.

They wore their terrible masks of the deep.

And their leader,

he was like a monster, the size of two men.

He held a club the size of a tree trunk.

Say no more.

Sounds like Zaza is back. But why now?

And why this far west?

Well, it looks like we'll be joining

the rest of Yorubaland even sooner than we expected.

I never asked you.

Why are you out here in the Riverlands?

I figured you'd be living it up in the military

district with your father.

After Iyanu cleanse the corrupted,

everyone noticed that the artefacts from

the Age of Wonders started reactivating.

- Have you heard from her? - No. Let me finish.

My research led me to this region because I've been thinking about it.

This is near where the ancient city of Mima once stood,

the stronghold of the divine ones.

It makes sense that most of the old technology

would be concentrated in this area.

You think she would send a messenger hawk or hippo or something?

Instead, she chooses to abandon us!

(SIGHS) Yanu is the chosen.

She can and will do whatever she wishes.

No matter how it impacts the people who care about her?

We all deal with our personal problems in different ways.

For example, you haven't...

(HORN BLARES)

Oba's caravan!

I had no idea he was coming back to the Riverlands.

There's only one way to find out why he's here.

Hey, wait for me now!

I bet you can't say Oba Uwa five times fast

without twisting your tongue!

Oba Uwa! Oba Uwa! Oba Uwa!

Owa oba! Oh!

(LAUGHTER)

So much destruction.

Why would the people of the deep do this?

This was not a small force.

And from the looks of it,

these invaders don't appear to have gone very far.

(GROWLS)

I know exactly how you feel.

Zaza!

Ha ha ha!

Yes. The little chosen girl. All on her own.

It is time to do something that your parents should have done.

Teach you some manners.

You talk too much!

If you have something to prove, show me!

Zaza. If there are any brains behind that mask,

I suggest you use them and spare yourself

the embarrassment of another defeat.

Unless you're afraid

of a little girl who leaves her bow out of the fight.

No weapons, OK?

Argh!

I said no weapons!

Argh!

Are you done or do you want another round?

Huh?

It's been a while since we've battled anyone.

Nice to see we haven't lost our touch, huh?

I don't know about you,

but I've got a weird feeling about this attack.

That's what I would like to know.

If the people of the deep are up to something,

we should probably get moving.

We aren't going to find any answers around here.

Looks like something is encased in the old soil and stone.

Bring the digger!

Get it in position!

Activate the drill!

An anvil.

Or perhaps there's something hidden inside.

What? What is happening?

I felt... I feel something

calling me to a powerful source of Wonders technology.

My Queen. Can you explain what...

(LAUGHS)

And I cannot deny that invitation to destroy such a thing.

Perhaps we should take a slight detour before conquering Elu.

(CHANTING)
