Gimbiya Lusa, a fierce and stunning warrior, rode her adorned horse with confidence, her green-glittered cloak billowing. From afar, she seemed like a mighty knight, but up close, her beauty revealed her as a woman. Feared by warriors, she was deadlier than poison, hunting the brave to protect her father, Sarkin Aljanu Gamsu, the revered king of spirits. Despite being human, Lusa’s love for her father was unmatched. Her tall, graceful figure, radiant face, and striking white eyes captivated all, her beauty surpassing her warrior spirit.
Now, she faced Ansar, a bold and handsome warrior, the only one she hadn’t defeated. His strength and charm unsettled her. They stood, locked in a tense gaze, as he spoke, admiring her beauty but lamenting her loyalty to spirits. “You protect an ancient spirit’s soul, hunting your own kind,” he said, warning her of fate’s unpredictability. Lusa, with a fierce smile, vowed to end his life to secure her father’s safety, as she had done to others. Ansar, undaunted, claimed his faith in Islam made him untouchable, sparking her anger.
Their battle erupted, swords clashing in a fierce dance, each strike precise and brutal. Both bled heavily, their bodies scarred, yet neither yielded. Lusa, for the first time, met her match, and a flicker of admiration stirred within her. As they collapsed, exhausted and wounded, she whispered his name, “Ansar,” realizing their injuries might claim them both. Suddenly, a massive spirit whisked her away, leaving Ansar behind, watched by vultures awaiting his end.
Meanwhile, Nahiya, a cunning black slave trader, served the sorceress Bokanya Namsu, who sought Gamsu’s soul to rule the world of magic. Knowing her sorcery wasn’t enough, Namsu sent her skilled slave, Farsu, to steal it. Farsu, promised freedom, accepted the mission. Namsu summoned a monstrous spirit to carry him to Gamsu’s palace. After a long journey, Farsu arrived, awed by the palace’s grandeur and guarded spirits. Facing Gamsu, he cleverly praised the king’s power, hiding his true intent to steal his soul, setting the stage for a daring mission.
