On the night of that day, Zimba could not sleep. He knew that his parents were not sleeping too. He could overhear his father comforting his mother who was sobbing in her hut. Zimba was missing his sister Lotem. He still couldn't believe that of all the people of Lobatam, the ring chose to choose his only sister. He made up his mind to run away that night. And he did.
Lotem was seen in a desert alone, trying so hard to remove the ring she found in her hand. The ring had been talking to her and she had grown tired of it's talks. "You can't remove me" said the ring.
"Oh yes I can and I will" Lotem fell to the ground kicking and screaming and pulling. The last thing she remembered in the forest while with her brother Zimba was the moment she found the ring while picking palm nuts. She had slipped the ring into her finger, turned to show her brother what she found and instead found herself alone in the desert. The ring refused to be pulled off ever since then. She had been feeling a new strength in her since then and she was not feeling hungry or tired but she wanted to go home, to her parents and to her lovely brother Zimba.

The King of Lobatam was now inside the shrine of the Chief Seer of the Kingdom. He was not with his crown and he felt so bad that the ring had to appear again after centuries and during his reign. He heartbreakingly fortified the men of the oracle. But he saw a very young man standing with the men of the oracle. He turned to look at the Chief Seer who nodded.
"Is he a son of the soil?" The King asked.
"Yes he is my king. Men of the oracle are not selected but they volunteer to serve the oracle. Zimba made his choice this night to join the men of the oracle and he is already initiated" replied the Chief Seer.
"Is he not the brother to the young lady that is missing?" The king asked further.
"He is and that is why he chose to embark on this journey" replied the Seer.
The King was worried because Zimba happened to be the only son of the Zimba family; him joining the men of the oracle meant he would not marry or father a child. Worshiping the oracle was a lifetime practice and once initiated one can't back off or death would toll their line. And Lotem was missing. How would the Zimba family take the shock of their only heir joining this sacred group of men. The King could imaging the love Zimba had for his sister and he shook his head. A moment later, the men of the oracle left the shrine well fortified and embarked on the journey of finding Lotem.
While Lotem was still kicking and struggling to remove the ring in the desert she heard a horse nigh and she jumped and looked around. She was happy for if the horse rider was coming her way he would help her get home. She turned and saw the two riders on one horse but their faces were covered. The riders were Feb and Ama. They were here for the ring all the way from the underworld. Lotem became scared and then the ring spoke; "Run?!" And yes it was time to run. Lotem started running and the riders pursed her with the horse.
