Arusei and Kimani sat as they saw the pictures of what was happening by the Jungle. They both knew the tales, they both had seen the Caretaker be annihilated. Waf quickly retold it, in the same way he always did: "The Jungle's madness then infected the others too. The four returned to the Jungle's heart and agreed to lay down their lives to make sure their power could not be used against people. But the snake, in his jealousy tricked them. He waited for the lion, the vulture and the crocodile to die, then the snake wrapped around them, bound them and they became one. From four caretakers, arose one. The first one to fall to the Jungle's whispers." Jebet and Eyapan shifted in their seats. The Caretaker had been killed once, but the Epan Goddess who had killed the Caretaker was now busy defending Kirinyaan cities from the oceanic invasion.
What were they supposed to do now? How many sacrifices were to be given?
