A Warning From the Gods

At the Snake People’s camp, a scout brings in an old healer captured near the border. The healer cryptically reveals a prophecy. In a fit of anger, Mambo transforms into a massive snake and strikes, the old man. As the prophecy is fulfilled, the crowd watches in stunned silence, realizing too late that the gods always warn before they strike. The Guardian of the Forest, a mystical entity created by the forest god to maintain balance within the woods. Though many fear her as a witch, she is the heart and soul of the forest, ensuring harmony between light and darkness. Zorro and Sia, driven by urgent need, seek the flower and confront the Guardian. Though she offers a deal instead of a fight, the flower she provides will turn to dust after midnight. They accept and hurry to present it to Mami Wata, an underwater queen, in hopes of rescuing Tendai, a young boy caught in the mystical conflict. In a climactic standoff, Jengo demands a duel not with Lunga, but with Kwame, challenging him to reveal his true nature. Queen Amina intervenes, postponing the duel until sunset, buying time to summon the snake goddess, whose judgment will determine Jengo’s fate. As tensions rise, each character’s choices and histories threaten to unravel everything, leaving their futures uncertain.
