<h1>*š Season 2</h1><h1>Episode 1:</h1><h3>Ā "The Curse of Return"*</h3><p><br/></p><p>Success sat alone in his room, staring at the mark on his palm. The night was heavy, the air dense with a feeling he couldnāt name. Weeks had passed since the Zara incident, but the mark hadnāt faded. In fact, it was growing darker.</p><p><br/></p><p>A knock on the door.</p><p><br/></p><p>It creaked open. Denniem stepped in.</p><p><br/></p><p>āYouāre not sleeping again,ā he said.</p><p><br/></p><p>Success sighed. āI hear voicesā¦ in my dreams. Sometimes I wake upā¦ and Iām not alone.ā</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem glanced at the candle flickering beside the bed. Shadows danced unnaturally.</p><p><br/></p><p>āYou need to come with me,ā Denniem said. āWeāre meeting the priest tonight.ā</p><p><br/></p><p>ā</p><p><br/></p><p>Across town, Aisha sat with Amaka. Zara was there too, unusually quiet. She hadnāt spoken much since the possession. But tonight, she looked up.</p><p><br/></p><p>āI had a dream,ā she said suddenly. āAbout a gate. Redā¦ covered in eyes. And someone was calling your name, Aisha. It wasnāt human.ā</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha felt her spine go cold.</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, Kunle walked into a shrine deep in the forest with a native priest. They had found an old book buried beneath the cursed houseāa book bound in skin.</p><p><br/></p><p>āThis thing,ā the priest said, pointing to it, āis not of this world.ā</p><p><br/></p><p>Lightning cracked outside. Thunder roared.</p><p>Back in the room, Success touched the mark again. It burned. His eyes went black for a moment.Ā Ā </p><p><br/></p><p>Thenā¦ he smiled.</p><p><br/></p><p>But not his smile.</p><p><br/></p><p>*To be continuedā¦*</p>
