Here is the next chapter:
Chapter 29: The Quest Begins
Mama Yagu turned to me, her eyes shining with a serious light. "Ade, the Orishas have sent you on a quest," she said. "A quest to retrieve the lost Crown of Oduduwa."
I felt a surge of excitement mixed with trepidation. What did this quest entail? And what was the Crown of Oduduwa?
"The Crown of Oduduwa is a powerful artifact," Mama Yagu explained. "It holds the secrets of our ancestors and the power to unite our people. But it was lost centuries ago, hidden away by the great king himself."
Babatunde, the Oriyu, stepped forward. "You must journey to the heart of the forest," he said. "There, you will find the Temple of the Ancients, where the Crown is hidden."
I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the quest settle upon me. I was ready to embark on this journey, no matter the challenges that lay ahead.
