Azuka that is enough

Akika, you are not dead

What is the meaning of this

We planned this as part of your training

We sent Akika to Agu N'abo

the day you were banished.

The separation was initiated because

we believe he would be a distraction

it does not matter now you are adults

I said those horrible things

I am sorry Azuka, we had to

I cannot believe this

I don't think she has a sense of humor

oh common it was serious for a moment

was she suppose to smile and give us a hug.

I will talk to her

I don't think that is a good idea

let me talk to her

you think you know her more than I do

believe me I do

go away

I am very happy to see you

Azuka

what do you want me to say

let me start by introducing our friends

Adisa, he was sentenced to death

for a crime he did not commit

he tried to prove his innocence to avail

in the end

he ran away because he believes

it is wrong for a man to bear the

consequence of another mans actions

Mitai was rejected by her parents after she was born without

hair, they believe she was a cause and left her to die in jungle

a lonely woman found her raised her and

also discovered her unusual ability

the old woman later died

and Mitai was left alone

Tari is the only child of warrior king

when her father was killed

in the battle of Buguma,

she was accused of killing her

father in other to ascend the throne

You know about me, I have been

an outcast since childhood

You see Azuka

we are outcasts and we are going

to stand by you til the end

Akika remove your mask

I ask you a very simple question

if you don't want to answer me

I will understand but

please do not lie to me

to the best of my knowledge you are

Azuka

the daughter of Etchida

I think I know who I am

I am a monster with no self control

Azuka what are you talking about

did you not see what happen there

I told Etido I was going to kill her

and at that moment I meant

everything that I said

that is not true

you see when we are angry

we say a lot of things that are not true

and a lot of things that

we do not mean to say

from shooting you when they catch you

in their minds you are a traitor
