Previously on Iyanu...

My supernatural abilities are fixing the ship.

I'm sorry, Iyanu, we weren't able to knock out the shipyard.

Get out of here, forest girl!

She's done nothing to us.

My father is the Oba.

Oh!

He must learn to fight his own battles.

What's this?

Dark paper?

What you feel is anchored in the bad places of your past.

To become the greatest ruler of the Deep, you must only look forward.

I must focus upon the destruction of Elu.

I think the engine is done for.

Iyanu, are you sure?

You did reactivate the ship using your supernatural powers twice.

And there's always the possibility that...

Huh?

We'll need to find another way to get back to Elu.

Ah. Then let's head to the trading post a few miles downstream.

We're going to need some supplies real soon.

What trading post?

Right before we landed here,

I saw a trading post further down the river.

But I also noticed something else about the river.

Like, what?

Adura's entire invasion fleet seems to have vanished.

We should have been able to see it from the sky.

But all those ships are gone.

Excellent observation, my child.

Something feels off and I have a bad feeling about it.

But we cannot do anything about it from here.

We need to get back to Elu quickly.

Let's get moving.

Yes, we're all hungry, too.

I don't know what to do with you and your bottomless belly, Ekun.

- Huh? - Merciful Eleda!

I never thought I would see any of you again.

Abbey.

Why are you here?

Toye! Please, relax.

He hasn't done anything yet.

Wait. I know you.

I haven't seen you in years.

You are Abbey,

the son of Oba Adeyinka.

# 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. #

I remember playing with you before I was exiled.

You look different.

Did you forget me?

We are second cousins.

After a while, Elu became a distant memory

along with everyone left inside.

Biyi, it's unfortunate that this boy is

one of your last surviving relatives.

Abbey is one of the worst people I have ever known.

Mm-hm. It's true.

I watched him tease and harass Toye over and over again.

He was cruel, mean, and deserves not even a speck of kindness.

Iyanu, what did you just learn about empathy?

Olori, please understand.

He's the reason I went through the inner walls in the first place.

He also lost his father.

I have nothing else to say except

I am sorry for everything.

Mm.

Forgive the intrusion, my queen.

Our warriors have returned with items captured from our local raids.

We have grains from the east, metalworks from the miners, and...

Thank you, Nobu Boju.

We are not simple thieves and raiders.

We are taking back what is rightfully ours.

Of course.

Years ago, you taught me that this isn't a simple invasion,

this is about the restoration of the natural order,

with us at the top of the food chain.

Adura, your parents would be so proud of what you've accomplished.

Father!

Mother!

Are you OK?

- Do you need assistance? - I require nothing.

Except fresh air.

Goodnight, Boju.

Goodnight, Queen Adura.

Please allow me to make amends.

I'm not sure we should...

Hey!

I trust that the food is adequate.

Abbey, why did you leave Elu?

And how did you end up here?

I made some changes to my life after the corrupt animals attacked Elu.

We must protect the Oba's son.

Oh, no!

What do we do now?!

Abbey, we will distract them.

As soon as we engage, you run as fast as a gazelle into the building.

You'll be safe there.

You people are from the Workers' District, correct?

- Uh-huh. - Yes, we are.

I cannot believe you are cowering in here

instead of defending your district.

If you don't know, this area is for those from the inner walls.

You shouldn't take space from more deserving citizens.

'Deserve' is a word that I would truly learn the meaning of.

After the Chosen had freed the land of corruption,

the people were justifiably happy.

But all I could do is sulk in my bedroom

because none of the attention was focused on me.

Enter.

Yes, Kanfo, what is it?

I'm sorry, Abbey, it is my unpleasant duty to inform you

that your father, Oba Adeyinka...

No.

He fought bravely against the Fallen One.

If it were not for your father's actions,

we might have...

No!

Father!

Please come back to me.

Please, Father, come back!

In that moment, everything that

I'd ever known about purpose, about love was taken away from me.

I know that the only reason I had friends,

why people were nice to me was because I was the son of the Oba.

My mother didn't understand my intentions,

but she respected my decision as long as I promised I would

some day return to Elu.

I realised that I had no idea who I was without my father behind me.

With the corruption gone, I believed that it was the proper time

for me to learn more about the world outside of the city walls.

It requires a great deal of maturity

for one as young as yourself to realise your limitations.

Um, was that a sneaky insult?

Huh?

Uh, I mean, we could all learn from his example, right?

No. We can't.

We all have lost things in our lives, but that doesn't give anyone

the right to mistreat those we think are weaker.

Toye, can you just listen to me?

Listen to what?

I was tired of your voice ten seconds after we met as children.

All you've ever done is hide behind your family!

Like you hid behind yours?

Toye, calm down.

Isn't that the advice you always give to me?

I've gained so much from inner peace.

You should give it a try, yeah?

Abbey, why were you always so mean to me?

Toye, you have every right to hate me,

but to answer your question, I was jealous of you.

Before we reclaim our birthright,

I want each and every one of you to remember

all of the children lost because of our exile.

We sent the babies of the Deep to infiltrate Elu,

so that one day we would have an army advancing from all sides

and within those walls,

striking when they least expect it.

As we attack, remember that some of the children

of the Deep were brainwashed by the excesses of Elu,

while others remain loyal,

waiting silently for the moment they can rise

and join their true brothers and sisters.

Adura! Adura! Adura!

Adura! Adura!

When we crush the Elu Mesi,

their walls will tumble into the earth,

and the people of the Deep will bring equality and freedom

to anyone who swears loyalty to me!

Abbey...jealous of me?

That makes no sense.

You think he's going to be OK?

Ah, who knows?

- These inners... - Mm-hm.

City people, whatever.

They don't behave like the rest of us.

We all have feelings, Biyi.

Different people express themselves in different ways.

Sure.

And sometimes they don't express themselves at all,

which can be a dangerous thing.

Where are we going?

This is the area I do my fishing.

A few weeks ago, I found something interesting.

Something I think you may also find interesting.

Hmm.

Are we going to pretend that we didn't hear

what you said earlier about being jealous of me?

It isn't easy to admit.

I was envious of how comfortable you were being yourself.

I don't understand.

You were the son of the mightiest official,

and instead of following in his footsteps,

you decided to be a bookworm.

- Mm! - Or scroll-keeper.

Whatever you prefer.

I like scrolls.

Despite your father's wishes,

you continued to pursue your studies of history, engineering,

economics, and art.

As the son of an Oba, I never knew who or what to be,

only that I was supposed to live up to a standard.

Hmm.

And you felt like you couldn't make your father proud?

Sometimes.

And other times, I just hated the fact that so many schoolgirls

wished you'd pay attention to them rather than your scrolls.

Toye, a ladies' man.

Ha-ha!

Now I know I can't believe anything Abbey says.

Oh, yes, before I forget...

..I found these symbols.

- Glyphs. - Glyphs.

When I first arrived here.

They stood out to me because they resembled

the images I saw on some of your mother's scrolls back in Elu.

Ah, none of these glyphs match.

Wait.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Ha-ha-ha-ha! It all makes sense.

Someone put these glyphs on the trees next to the water

so they can be read correctly backwards in the reflection.

Oh!

Well, what does it say?

Aha! It says something about, uh, an acolyte and darkness,

and I don't know what the last ones say,

but I will figure it out, no matter what.

Oh, no need to worry.

That's Mama Bossi.

Ekun!

You've really got to stop thinking with your stomach all of the time.

Sleeper agents of the Deep.

Come on, you stupid beads. Do something now!

Maybe a tidal wave or something.

Ow!

Welcome to my life.

Hey! Running scared already?

No, they're heading back to the trading post.

We need to stop them immediately.

Why are the people of the Deep hiding in random trading posts?

I don't know,

but I've seen those tattoos a few times after I left Elu.

My people wish to disrupt the new economy of Yorubaland.

There is nothing random about their attacks.

It's all for the sake of making their conquest easier.

Oh, no!

I'm no scientist, but those look like...

Explosives!

Ha!

Toye, look out!

That's not what I meant to do.

Abbey, I'm sorry for blowing up your home.

Why does it look like you're leaving?

Because I am.

You all have inspired me to do even more than I've done here.

I've learned that my purpose is to explore

all of Yorubaland and help others wherever I can.

Thank you for saving me during the fight.

And Ekun, too.

There was one other thing I learned about purpose.

More important than helping others is

the ability to find and build a family.

You will find your purpose one day, my cousin.

I hope to see you again.

And one more thing,

there's a riverboat parked near the glyph trees.

It's my old royal boat.

Feel free to use it if you plan on making it back to Elu.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Abbey.

Toye, did you discover anything else?

Yes.

I think some of those glyphs weren't all words.

A few appear to be numbers.

They look like dates and coordinates.

Go safely, my darlings.

Your father and I are so proud of you.

It is a great honour to be chosen to be the agents of change

that will let us reclaim our ancestral homeland

at the appointed time.

Perhaps a commemoration.

The Day of the Deep.

Our people remember the day when Prince Debo

was exiled from Elu.

Oh, a time of anger, sadness, and a call for revenge.

Why do I have a feeling

that's when the People of the Deep attack Elu?
