The chief of the village called all his people together and announced that he will be leaving to join the ancestors. He asked for someone to accompany him to the dangerous land where he will pass away. Everyone refused except for a young messenger who had been helped by the chief and considered him a father figure. The chief acknowledged the messenger's loyalty and declared him his heir. He also blessed a previously disrespected woman and her family with leadership and special powers. The chief and the young messenger began their journey together, which would change the young messenger's life forever.
