Administering God’s Mercy

This short clip is taken from the full length episode of the Human written, and AI generated Medieval Afro Fantasy series "Moor of Mogadishu." In this series we follow a disgruntled, underdog, protagonist, warrior who wields a magic spear and magic powers and fights bravely against mythical beasts and monsters like giant, black, Desert Scorpions, Giant Spiders, Sand Sirens, Desert spirits such as the Djinn, The Undead and more. He is on a great heroic journey, reminiscent of the Hero's journey. He embarks on this journey into a mysterious and dangerous desert, where it is said the mythical Tower of Babel is located. There he seeks to make a magic connection, and unlock a forbidden magic gate, dated back to the first age of this fantasy world, commonly referred to as the Age of Heaven. In this tower, he desires to speak to God himself, and seek what he calls "recompense" for all the suffering he has endured, and the world has endured. Before he enters the Desert of Dreams, he stays with a group of traveling pilgrims, consisting of men, women and children. Forsaken peasants, penitent and religious people seeking absolution and freedom from sins and oppression. He befriends them. On one unfortunate day, they are attacked by a large clan of giant black scorpion monsters. The warriors in the camp along with Okunkwe, our main character, fight the scorpions. They defeat them but not without a high cost. In this short, a woman who was poisoned by a giant black scorpion during an attack is beyond saving. A mage, or a sorcerer, amongst the pilgrims, comes and casts a spell which releases her from her pain and frees her soul. She leaves behind her two children who will be taken in by the pilgrims and raised as their own, but this does not stop them from crying as they say good bye to their mother. It is a powerful moment which reveals the dangers of the desert and how it doesn't discriminate when it comes to dishing out horror and misery. Even so, with the power of unity and community, the pilgrims and their faith overcome the horrors it gives them, rising to the challenges that they believe God, or the gods, are giving them. #emotionalshorts #emotionalstory #fantasy #mythicalcreatures #fantasystory #fantasystorytelling
