Onambélé and Mani look at each other and decide not to ask her more questions.

"Anyway, ask mom and dad for help if it gets complicated..." Mani said with a concerned look.

Ama looks at her parents and shakes her head.

''Short visits are the best...'' Said Ama, "Dad, Mom, I love you. See you soon."

With these words, her presence gradually fades until it disappears completely. She leaves the human plane like a shadow melting into the night.

Under a singular landscape, a familiar face gives instructions. A powerful winged primate is preparing a ceremony. What could it be? Small creatures of various sizes hurry to take care of what they are asked to do. They carve intricate figures and symbols on the ground and on totem poles that they place at various points on the figure. Gradually, more and more filaments of energies converge on the ten totems placed at the edge of the figure and are redirected to a figure made up of symbols located in the center of the figure engraved on the ground. It looked like a drawing made while writing a text in an ancient language.

"We should have had more time to prepare for this ceremony, but the latest events are forcing us to review our schedule." Said the beast of stones.

It is visibly once again complaining as usual.

"But again, who does this kid think he is to ridicule us like this? Just a few days ago, he didn't even know about the planes. In barely a day he got enough strength to fight us... It's terrifying." Adds the beast.

"All the more reason to improve quickly, don't you think? At this very moment he is training with my brother. And I can assure you that at the speed at which he's evolving, we're not going to be of any use to him in combat very soon if we don't do something." Said Ama, who naturally appears a few meters from the beast.

Like a dream come true, a beautiful woman with a dark complexion and light brown eyes has just appeared on the bestial plane.

Mani and her husband Onambélé, still seated on their thrones, look at each other and look satisfied with their daughter.

"She is really exceptional, our daughter. She looks like a warrior princess from the old days." Onambélé said.

"Like Ada Emana of whom the legends speak... Still happy that she didn't inherit your airs of great king that you share so well with your son." Says Mani

''Hahaha haha ha ha. I'm sure that's what you love most about me." Says Onambélé who fully assumes his eccentric side.

Mani calms down and stares at the ceiling thoughtfully. She turns to her husband and looks at him with a serious look.

"Honey, do you think characters like Ada Émana really existed?" Mani asks.

Onambélé also looks serious and looks at his wife.

"These legends date back several millennia. For some reason, I feel like the information from that time has been purposely removed from the history of bloodlines... Even more recently, after the division of the Emana clan into three clans and the dissolution of the Mve lineage, we have seen fewer and fewer celestial and abyssal masters." Onambélé said.

"To such an extent that some are even afraid to reach this level even if they have the ability." Mani adds.

"Some people talk about a curse... All abyssal and celestial masters disappear from this world shortly after their appearance." Onambélé said.

Both parents sigh in unison.

"The emergence of new forces is always happening on both sides." Mani said.
