Zimba and his kid sister lotem were collecting palm nuts in the forest. The forest was located in Akaibe, one of the most ancient city of Lobatam Kingdom. Zimba knew he was faster than his kid sister Lotem in picking the nuts and decided to leave the remaining ones for her to pick. He went and sat on a branch and was looking at the skies to admire the movement of the clouds. Suddenly the clouds stopped moving and Zimba brought his head down to look at his sister again but she was no longer there. Zimba jumped down from the branch, called his sister several times but no response. He was terrified. He searched the forest with tears in his eyes and decided to rush home. When he reached his father's compound he met his father, mother and the Chief Seer of  Akaibe. Zimba's mother was kneeling in tears as her husband, Zimba's father was struggling to go to the forest in search of his daughter. Zimba fell down on his kneels and cried. He realised Lotem's disappearance had been heard by the spirit world.

"Her disappearance is the beginning of the downfall of Akaibe. We must send men of the oracle to search for Lotem. If the children of the dead see her first the ruler of the underworld will dominate the earth" Said the Seer.

"How would she know that the ring she found is a sacred ring. How will she keep it safe until the men of the oracle find her?" Asked Lotem's mother.

"She will know. The ring is in her finger and the children of the underworld will send representatives to find Lotem and take the ring from her. We must inform the King of Lobatam. This is beyond Akaibe and only the King can order the men of the oracle to travel on this journey" the Seer said.

Zimba approached his father in tears and explained what happened in the forest.

"My son. Your sister Lotem mistakenly found the bloody ring and put it in her finger. She disappeared from Lobatam immediately she wore the ring" explained the father.

"Where is she now father?" Zimba asked.

"Nobody knows my son. Only the men of the oracle will be able to locate her" the father replied.

The dead were silent in the underworld. The ruler was smiling mischievously. Ama  and Feb were among the dead but they were always together. When the leader called out Ama and instructed her to get ready to leave the underworld to the land of the living on a mission Feb knelt and begged to be sent alongside with Ama. The leader had nothing to loose. He told them exactly where to find Lotem and to retrieve the ring she found from her.

"She found the ring we have been longing for centuries. And the most shameful part of it is that a human and a girl child at that was able to find the bloody ring. We all know what that ring can do for us. Ama and Feb leave the underworld, find Lotem and get the ring" the ruler finalised.
