CALL OF DESTINY

EXT. AJILOMI VILLAGE – DAWN

The golden sun spreads warmth over the bloodstained battlefield.

The warriors of Ajilomi stand in silence.

Their eyes are on Akin.

The man who killed a god.

But Akin does not feel victorious.

He clenches his fists.

The power inside him is different.

Stronger.

Darker.

Something has changed.

EXT. AJILOMI PALACE – LATER

Ogunlaja sits on his throne.

His eyes are locked on Akin.

For the first time, the mighty king looks uncertain.

The elders stand around him.

Murmuring.

Whispering.

CHIEF ELDER

"We have never seen such power before."

ELDER OLUSOJI

"This boy… he is no longer one of us."

Ogunlaja lifts a hand.

The room falls silent.

Ogunlaja turns to Akin.

OBA OGUNLAJA

"Who are you now?"

Akin's jaw tightens.

He doesn't know.

All he knows is that he is not the same.

EXT. AJILOMI VILLAGE – NIGHT

The people celebrate.

Drums echo.

Fires burn bright.

But Akin does not join them.

He stands alone.

Watching.

Thinking.

Then—

A voice behind him.

IWA

"Why are you out here?"

Akin does not turn.

AKIN

"I don't know what I've become."

Iwa steps closer.

She reaches for him—

But stops.

She feels it too.

The power.

The distance between them.

Iwa's eyes fill with sorrow.

IWA

"You are still Akin. You are still… you."

Akin wants to believe her.

But deep down—

He knows the truth.

The whispers in his mind have not stopped.

They are getting louder.

And they are calling him somewhere new.

EXT. AJILOMI VILLAGE – MIDNIGHT

The night is silent.

Akin stands at the edge of the village.

His eyes scan the dark horizon.

The whispers in his mind have become clearer.

A voice calls to him.

A voice older than time itself.

???

"Come, child of power. Your path is not here."

Akin's heart pounds.

He feels restless.

Like a force pulling him forward.

Then—

A figure emerges from the shadows.

A hooded old man.

His staff glows faintly.

Akin steps back, alert.

AKIN

"Who are you?"

The old man smiles.

OLD MAN

"One who has waited for you."

Akin frowns.

AKIN

"Waited for me?"

The old man nods.

OLD MAN

"You are not meant to stay in Ajilomi."

Akin's fists clench.

AKIN

"Then where am I meant to be?"

The old man taps his staff on the ground.

OLD MAN

"Follow me, and you shall see."

Akin hesitates.

But something deep inside him knows—

This is just the beginning.

EXT. AJILOMI VILLAGE – DAWN

Iwa searches for Akin.

Her heart pounds.

She checks every corner.

Every path.

Nothing.

Her hands tremble.

Then—

She spots Oladele.

IWA

"Have you seen Akin?"

Oladele shakes his head.

His face is worried.

OLADELE

"No one has seen him since last night."

Iwa's breath catches.

She knows.

Akin is gone.

But where?

And will he ever return?

EXT. THE SACRED FOREST – NIGHT

Akin walks behind the old man.

The trees whisper.

The air is thick with magic.

Akin's skin tingles.

AKIN

"Where are we going?"

The old man does not answer.

Then—

They reach a clearing.

A massive stone gate stands before them.

Carved with ancient symbols.

The old man turns to Akin.

His eyes glow.

OLD MAN

"Beyond this gate lies your true destiny."

Akin swallows hard.

AKIN

"And if I go through?"

The old man smiles.

OLD MAN

"Then you will become what you are meant to be."

Akin's heart pounds.

He looks at the gate.

He takes a deep breath.

And he steps forward.

EXT. THE SACRED GATE – NIGHT

The stone gate hums with power.

Akin stands before it, his heart pounding.

The old man watches him silently.

Akin clenches his fists.

Then—

He steps forward.

As soon as his foot touches the threshold—

A BLINDING LIGHT CONSUMES HIM.

INT. UNKNOWN REALM – TIMELESS

Akin awakens.

His body floats in an endless void.

There is no sky.

No ground.

Only darkness.

Then—

A voice booms.

???

"You have come at last."

Akin's breath catches.

He looks around.

Nothing.

Just infinite emptiness.

Then—

A figure emerges.

A massive, shadowy being.

Its eyes glow like burning suns.

Its body is made of storms.

AKIN

"Who are you?"

The figure chuckles.

The sound shakes the void.

???

"I am the first. The ancient. The forgotten."

Akin's skin tingles.

A force presses down on him.

The sheer power of this being is overwhelming.

Then—

The figure raises a hand.

Akin's body ignites with pain.

Visions flood his mind.

FLASHBACKS – A THOUSAND YEARS AGO

A war.

A battle between gods and mortals.

A great warrior stands alone.

His name is Ogunna.

He wields a spear of lightning.

And he fights against a force that should not exist.

A force that destroys entire kingdoms.

The sky burns.

The earth trembles.

Ogunna roars.

He strikes—

And the world is never the same again.

INT. UNKNOWN REALM – TIMELESS

Akin gasps.

His body shakes.

The visions fade.

The shadowy figure watches him.

???

"Now you see."

Akin clenches his fists.

AKIN

"What was that?"

The figure steps closer.

Its presence is suffocating.

???

"Your past. Your bloodline. Your destiny."

Akin's heart races.

This is too much.

But deep down—

He knows it is true.

Then—

The figure reaches out.

And everything explodes into chaos.

EXT. AJILOMI VILLAGE – DAWN

Iwa stands at the river.

Her heart aches.

Akin is gone.

The village is quiet.

Then—

A horn blows.

A scout runs into the village.

SCOUT

"An army approaches!"

Gasps.

Ogunlaja steps forward.

His face darkens.

OBA OGUNLAJA

"Prepare for war."

EXT. AJILOMI VILLAGE – DAWN

The horns of war echo through the village.

The people of Ajilomi awaken in panic.

Warriors grab their weapons.

Mothers hold their children close.

At the village gates, Ogunlaja stands tall.

His eyes are cold, calculating.

Beside him, Oladele tightens his grip on his spear.

Iwa watches from a distance, heart pounding.

SCOUT

"They come from the east! Their banners bear the mark of the Iron Claw!"

Gasps.

The Iron Claw Tribe.

A ruthless army.

They conquer.

They destroy.

And now—

They march toward Ajilomi.

EXT. AJILOMI GATES – MORNING

The enemy army appears on the horizon.

Hundreds of warriors in dark armor.

Their leader rides a black horse.

A scarred warrior, eyes burning with hatred.

His name is General Basiko.

He raises his sword—

And his army halts.

Then—

He shouts.

GENERAL BASIKO

"Ajilomi! Surrender now, and we shall spare your women and children!"

Ogunlaja steps forward.

His voice is like thunder.

OBA OGUNLAJA

"Ajilomi kneels to no one!"

The warriors of Ajilomi roar in defiance.

Basiko grins.

He was hoping for a fight.

Then—

The battle begins.

EXT. AJILOMI BATTLEFIELD – CHAOS

Swords clash.

Spears pierce flesh.

The ground is soaked with blood.

Oladele fights like a madman.

Iwa, armed with a dagger, defends the wounded.

Ogunlaja cuts down enemy after enemy.

But—

The Iron Claw warriors are too many.

Ajilomi is losing ground.

Then—

A thunderous roar.

Everyone freezes.

A shadow falls over the battlefield.

Something is coming.

INT. UNKNOWN REALM – TIMELESS

Akin floats in darkness.

The shadowy figure looms over him.

???

"Do you wish to return?"

Akin clenches his fists.

AKIN

"Yes."

???

"Then take my power."

Akin hesitates.

He remembers the whispers.

The warnings.

But—

Ajilomi is in danger.

He has no choice.

Akin reaches out.

And then—

The world explodes into fire.

EXT. AJILOMI BATTLEFIELD – NIGHT

The sky rips open.

A pillar of light crashes down.

From the heavens—

Akin descends.

His body glows with power.

His eyes burn like golden flames.

He lands in the center of the battlefield.

Silence.

Then—

Akin lifts his hand.

The earth shakes.

Lightning crackles in the sky.

The battle is about to change.
