In an eastern village, families met for a duty-bound marriage negotiation. The Yoruba groom's representatives presented kola nuts for peace, strong yams representing Igbo achievement and provision, palm oil, a she-goat, bitter kola, alligator pepper, cartons of drinks, and modest ego isi nwanyi money. Tied to one yam was a string of beads representing Yoruba culture-the groom's token of respect. Cultural obligation, not romance, sealed the union.

Between the Child of Righteousness and the Heir of Ruin, stretch eons, legacies, and the weight of the worlds they chose, yet something quiet insists on seeing past blood, past names, past the curse. Seated before the ancient Sage Kaagbhushundi, Amarsri and Srinav listen to their own tale of a previous Mahayuga, a cycle where destiny wove a jagged thread between light and shadow.
