THIS RITUAL SCAR IS FROM MY HOMELAND, MY PEOPLE IN NDONGO.
YOU’VE GOT THE BRAND OF THE PLANTATION TOO, SOARES.
A MARK THAT DOESN’T WASH OFF.
THESE ARE FROM WHEN I GOT HERE.
I REMEMBER EVERY ONE OF THEM.
NO WAY! THEY’RE NOT GOING TO FIND ME.
ARE YOU AFRAID OF GOING BACK, GETTING CAUGHT? YOU SAW ME USE THAT ZAGAIA WE GRABBED BACK AT THE HOUSE.
IF THEY COME, I KNOW WHAT TO DO.
26
THIS IS THE CUCA’S HOUSE, RIGHT, SOARES?
YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS PLACE …COME ON, LET’S GO IN…
WE’VE GOT TO MAKE SURE OF THE WAY.
THE HEALER WILL HELP US…
27
TELL ME, CUCA …WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FOR ME? WHERE CAN WE FIND THE TRAIL TO ANGOLA JANGA?
YOU’RE THAT MULATTO BOY, SOARES…
YOUR DESTINY IS GREAT…
…AND CURSED.
28
YOU CAN EVEN BECOME FREE.
BUT LOSS AND ABANDONMENT…
…WILL BE YOUR COMPANIONS.
FREE? WHAT? GO ON, TELL ME MORE! YOU WILL SEE LIGHT AND DARKNESS…
SILENCE AND MUSIC…
FEEL EVERY ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS, SOARES. BE READY…
TO FOLLOW THE TRAIL TO ANGOLA JANGA…
HEAD ALONG THE RIVER …PAST THE BLAZED TREE…
29
BUT DON’T FORGET… THERE WILL BE NEW CHALLENGES…
AND CHOICES…
ARE YOU READY?
30
DID THE CUCA TELL YOU HOW TO GET THERE, SOARES? TO ANGOLA JANGA?
TOWN’S NOT THE BEST WAY. THERE’S SOMETHING I STILL NEED TO DO…
31
THROUGH TOWN AND ALONG THE RIVER… WE’LL GO THE SHORTEST WAY, OSENGA…
