Previously on Iyanu...
Where is The Chosen?
You will never find her.
You've been lying to me my entire life?
Return to us The Age of Darkness!
No!
Chosen...
The Chosen...
You...
are...
The Chosen.
What... is... happening?
The Chosen...
My body is back to normal?
Is this... Orun?
The afterlife?
- I certainly hope not. - Hmm?
Orun is the paradise of the deceased.
This, my child,
is The Land Beyond.
It has been so long since I've seen you, Iyanuoluwa.
I was there the day you were born.
I held you in my arms.
I knew your parents...
For I am Joba!
The First Father.

Joba...
I-- you-- how?
Calm yourself.
You're safe here.
On...
The Land Beyond?
What is this place?
Why am I here?
The last thing I remember...
My friends are trapped with him in the Forbidden Temple,
and I... I have to go--
I am the First Father.
I know what has occurred.
I know what will occur.
That is my gift...
and my curse.
It is not too late to save them,
but to go back,
you must understand
what truly makes you The Chosen,
and why your family,
past, present, and future,
means everything.
First Father, I don't understand.
When your mother, Dara,
built a spiritual barrier around my son, Deso,
The Fallen One,
she didn't do it alone.
Inside the Tree of Freedom,
you subconsciously helped Dara trap him
using your powers.
Even in defeat, Deso found a way to escape.
He projected his spiritual essence
into a cursed lantern...
but the Sacred Priests of the time
had no idea what was happening.
They assumed I had intervened
to protect humanity from Deso.
So that's why everyone was warned
to stay away from the Temple?
To keep people from awakening Deso
and disrupting the Conduit.
You are partially correct.
The Temple was constructed to keep Deso trapped,
but to disrupt the Conduit would be difficult.
Oh. Why?
Because you, Iyanu,
are the Conduit,
a righteous connection
between the world of mortals
and Eleda himself.
Boju,
your betrayal will deliver consequences.
Boju is only a tool of The Fallen One.
The goal is to stop his resurrection.
How can we do anything without our weapons?
Nothing works now that Iyanu is...
Adura, my queen,
you show no grace in victory.
Elu is under siege.
The Wonders are cut off,
and The Chosen has... fallen.
How can I be the Conduit?
As I said,
you helped your mother trap The Fallen One.
When that happened,
your energies and life essence
became a tether to all things Divine.
And when that connection was severed by Boju,
the energies of the Divine,
or "Wonders,"
stopped working.
Mm.
First Father,
what am I to do now?
Wait! Where are you going?
The rest is up to you, Chosen.
Remember,
family means everything...
Are you sure you want to go?
Hey!
Stop it! I've got to--
I'll let you go if you speak truthfully.
Tell me this,
do you want to be The Chosen?
Huh?
Or is this the only way
you elicit love from other people?
Almighty Deso,
return to our Master,
and usher in the Age of Darkness.
Let... me... go.
Answer me.
Why are you The Chosen?
Do you not inspire love or devotion
by simply being you?
What are you saying?
No one would care about you
if you remained a simple Forest Girl.
If you weren't prophesized to save Yorubaland,
you'd be nothing more than a scavenger.
Mm-mm.
No. That's not true.
Olori, Biyi, Toye,
they're my family.
No. That is your family.
The others on Earth
ride the coattails of your greatness.
You don't need them.
The only people who chose you
are your mother and father.
Everyone else sees you as a means to an end.
Maybe it's time for you to become a little... selfish.
Nothing in this world
is built from selfishness.
I am The Chosen because I want to help others.
I choose to help Yorubaland.
You choose self-destruction.
As do you.
One last time. Let me go!
You'll have to do better than that... Inner.
You don't know me.
Wrong!
I know everything.
I need to get back to them quickly.
I know you're afraid of failure,
Chosen.
What's going on?
Why is the ground--
Aah!
Time to end this.
Aah!
Missed me! Try again!
Quiet! Aah!
Is that your best, Chosen?
Try again, Inner!
Wonda!
Keep up, Forest Girl.
Did Dara teach you that?
Oh, wait, she couldn't have.
Ha!
Huh?
I know you're afraid of losing your powers,
but more than anything else,
you're afraid of being alone,
because way deep down...
Wait! Stop! No! No!
Please stop!
...you don't feel worthy of love.
Please, stop!
I--
You're right.
I never had proper parents.
I never had friends.
I always believed
I needed to be something special,
someone special,
before people would care about me...
Family means everything.
...but I know something you don't.
If I were to throw away my powers,
my connection to the Divine,
I would still be Iyanuoluwa,
daughter of Dara and Ishe,
child of Olori,
friend of Biyi, Toye, and Ekun.
I am never alone!
My final trial is here. Isn't it?
Our conversation is far from over.
If we can stop those ships from entering...
There's a tiny fissure nearby
where only one boat can fit through at a time.
I need to plug that section
to stop their advance.
That sounds like a one-way mission.
Perhaps for some.
It was an honor to fight alongside you.
When you see Toye--
We will follow as close as possible
to keep them off of you,
and the honor was mine...
Eso of Esos.
Raah!
My children,
stay close to me.
We fight until we can fight no more!
For Iyanu!
Huh?
Hmm?
How? What?
Did you miss me?
Mm!
What?
Hmm?
H'ah!
Kanfo!
You've only got a few seconds to get clear!
Aah!
Kanfo! No!
May Eleda protect you...
...mighty Kanfo.
Team Chosen... japa!
H'ah!
H'mm! H'ah!
Time to finish this.
No!
I am The Chosen,
and it is time to put you back where you belong.
No, Master, no!
You will now pay the price
for the betrayal of the People of the Deep,
and for what you did to my parents!
Wait!
I feel what you feel, Adura.
Know this...
he's not worth it.
This isn't over, "Chosen."
Ah--
We've got to end this invasion.
We need a way to communicate
with all of Elu at the same time.
I have an idea.
Are you ready for this?
I'll trust you...
for now.
People of Elu.
People of the Deep.
This battle is finished.
There is nothing to be gained by constant warfare.
It only leads to suffering.
It is time that we learn from each other.
Those within the walls teach those outside,
from the Riverlands to the Mountains,
and especially from those in the Deep.
The only other option is extinction.
We've already learned the lessons
from the Divine Wars of the past.
It is time to unite
for the future of Yorubaland.
We cannot force you to stop fighting.
It is a choice we must all make...
together.
Hello, Omolola.
Do you know where my father might be?
Father! No...
This cannot be!
I know you...
from when we escaped the shipyard.
You know,
we'll always be here for you,
no matter what.
Is that...
Boju?
Forgive me, Master.
I have failed.
There is more than one way
to free the Fallen One,
my son.
Mother, you don't mean that it's going--
It is time for the heavens
to collide with the Earth.
You never were the most patient of men.
This is a fight you cannot win alone.
We must prepare The Chosen,
and our son...
my husband.
