Before many days had passed he reached the Southern Island, and then slowly but surely made his way to the head-quarters of the chiefs Kumaso and Takeru.

There was also an abundance of greenery along with a desolate desert. Baby Zetty had finally come to Boye’s hometown after such a long journey. It was exactly the same as the scene described in the book—the mountains were beautiful, the water was clear, and sunflowers filled up the entire field. Baby Zetty looked at the endless sunflower field and said to Gale emotionally, “Gale, I’ve finally arrived at my destination.”

“You’re not strong enough to keep us here.” “Oh, but I am,” Berra’s voice said. “This land belongs to me. Every stone, every shadow, every whisper—you will fight until your spirit breaks.” The fall stopped suddenly. My body slammed against hard rock, sharp edges cutting into my back.
