Episode 1: The Village Secret

The cock crowed at dawn in the quiet village of Umuoko, a place where traditions were held sacred and destinies were written in the stars. The air was thick with the scent of roasted yam from Mama Ezinne’s hut, mixing with the fresh earth from the previous night’s rain.

Obinna, a young man of twenty-five, wiped the sweat off his brow as he stacked firewood beside his mother’s hut. Life had never been easy for him, but he had learned to survive. His mother, a widow, had struggled to raise him and his sister, Adaeze, after their father’s mysterious disappearance fifteen years ago.

The villagers often whispered about their father, claiming he had been cursed by the gods. Some said he had stolen something sacred, while others believed he had challenged the elders and paid the ultimate price. Obinna never knew what to believe, but one thing was certain—he would not be a prisoner of his father’s past.

But fate had other plans.

That evening, as he walked to the village square, he heard his name being called in a hushed tone. Turning around, he saw Nkem, the old medicine man, standing under the giant Udala tree.

“Obinna,” Nkem whispered, his eyes dark as the night sky. “It is time you learned the truth.”

Obinna felt his heart race. The truth? About what?

“The destiny of your bloodline is heavier than you can imagine. There is a secret buried beneath this village, and you are the only one who can uncover it.”

Obinna swallowed hard. He had always felt different, as if a shadow followed him everywhere. But was he ready to face what lay ahead?

As the moon cast an eerie glow over the village, one thing was certain—the past was about to awaken, and Obinna’s life would never be the same again.
