One piece of information that caught Ikem's attention was about a good friend of the apelings: "The people of Omadi."
The people of Omadi were among the first humans in the eastern continent to have close contact with the apelings. Though they never set foot in the apeling kingdom, they were accommodated in a mountain not far from the apeling kingdom.
Because of Osita, the cambion—a half-human, half-demon—Omadi, his friends, and family had to flee their home and territory with the help of the apelings.
This encounter with the apelings transformed the lives of Omadi and his people as they were introduced to a more magical world. At that time, Zephyr, who was playing with Ikem, shared some of the magical knowledge they had gathered with Omadi to help him create a stronger community or kingdom that would keep Osita in check.
