Ezinne nodded slowly. "The branch, filled with vibrant energy, is exactly what shamans like myself need. The journey to the underworld is not a simple task, especially for someone like me who already has one foot in the grave."
She paused, her eyes intense. "Having this branch nearby during my breakthrough will increase my chances significantly. My occasional conversations with ancestral souls reveal that the underworld is changing. I strongly believe my shamanic path could help advance this transformation."
"The ancestors have mentioned that the goddess finds joy in seeing the changes the souls bring to the underworld," Ezinne continued, her voice now softer. "This is a dangerous and daring thought, but what if we shamans break through with the help of this branch and hope that our breakthrough brings a significant change to the underworld?"
