After the fall of the golden valley and the disappearance of the Gate of Òsun, Babatunde awakens alone in the misty forest. His friend, Prince Adetunji, has vanished. All that remains of him is a trace of golden dust — proof that the prince fulfilled his destiny. Babatunde returns to the palace with a heavy heart. When the king and Queen Olufunke hear what happened, grief fills the royal court. Adetunji had given up his soul to free the river spirit, Aramide, ending the curse that had plagued their land. As the queen weeps, the river outside the palace begins to glow and flow peacefully again, and the skies clear a sign that the gods have accepted the prince’s sacrifice. Far beneath the river, Prince Adetunji awakens in a shining blue spirit world. There, he meets Aramide, now freed from her curse and fully human once more. Though Adetunji is no longer human, he finds peace knowing that his sacrifice saved her and his people. He becomes the Spirit Prince, guardian of the river and protector of Ile-Oro. Together, Adetunji and Aramide live beneath the water surrounded by light, fish, and the whispers of the river. Yet, he never forgets his people. From the spirit realm, he blesses the land with rain, clear rivers, and fertile soil. The people of Ile-Oro prosper once more. At night, Queen Olufunke often stands by the river, hearing her son’s gentle voice call her name. Though her heart aches, she smiles, knowing that he still watches over her. Adetunji’s love, sacrifice, and spirit have become one with the river an eternal guardian protecting his kingdom forever.

In the kingdom of Ile-Oro, peace has vanished — the rivers rage, the skies darken, and the crops wither. The people whisper that the gods are angry. But Prince Adetunji knows the truth: the chaos began after he made a promise to the river spirit Aramide, who is bound by an ancient curse. A glowing blue mark on Adetunji’s arm links him to the spirit world, and though King Adeyemi forbids him to leave the palace, Adetunji cannot ignore Aramide’s call. At night, her voice reaches him — soft but urgent — telling him that only the Heart of Òsun, a golden stone hidden deep in the forest, can end the curse. Determined to save his people, Adetunji secretly prepares for a dangerous journey. His loyal companion Babatunde refuses to let him go alone. Together, they sneak out of the palace and enter the dark, misty forest, where unseen spirits whisper in the shadows. When they reach the sacred river, Aramide appears — beautiful and sorrowful. She warns them that the path to the Heart of Òsun is guarded by the spirits of the past and that failure means death. Before they can act, the monstrous guardian Eru Oba awakens once again. As fire bursts through the mist and the earth trembles, Adetunji and Babatunde flee into the forest, guided only by the glowing light of the prince’s divine mark. The forbidden journey has begun, and their courage will determine the fate of both the mortal and spirit worlds.
