*Chapter 9: The Spirit Journey Begins*
Iyan , with a heart full of longing and questions, travels to the sacred realm of the spirits. Guided by the wind, she's given enchanted arrows—keys to accessing the world where iyango and Amoni's spirits rest. But she must first stay in the land of stillness for *50 days*, where time pauses, and her soul prepares.
There, she learns the world she's about to enter is not meant for the living. Only belief and love can keep her soul intact. She's told that she must believe in Amoni's guidance, or risk being lost forever. Her mission is clear: unite iyango and Amoni's spirits, awaken their love, and restore the full moon, which symbolizes eternal love.
But fear grips iyan—how can she, just a mortal, succeed in such a divine task?
She's told that once she reaches Yago's spirit, an old man will appear. This old man holds the secret to merging their spirits back together. Iyancprays to survive the journey but also confesses that deep inside, she's ready to die—ready to reunite with her lost parents and fulfill her destiny.
