Being caught between two worlds is not easy. Dineo grew up an ordinary human aside from her weak lungs and breathing problems. Until one day when Neo’s world is turned upside down. Neo learns she has never been human at all, and she has a vital role to play that could save lives on both land and sea.  Neo takes us on a journey of self discovery, from being a sickly human to a powerful ocean queen.

Neo slowly moved towards the water to do as ordered. Her bare feet gradually parted with the ground as soon as she stood beneath the waterfall.

Tunga, and the rest of the captives, regained their strength after spending a decent amount of time in healing shields. Sazhi received treatment too but he was still in a cell until his trial. 


"I can feel pain, but I'm not dead so it truly is indestructible," Tunga said after Ika struck the gold armour he had on. Ika showed everyone who was going to fight how the weapons are used.

"I'm joining you," Neo said as she joined the group of men and women armoured. "Badunda, I can do this," she said to Tunga. 


"Everyone ensures that you protect Zangori at all times," Ika said.


"I'll ensure that she's protected," Tunga said while looking at his daughter. 


"I'll stay here with Dandari and the younger ones," Zasari offered. "Someone must be able to protect them should a threat come." Everyone nodded simultaneously.
