Part 5: The Search for the Source of the Curse "The Curse of the 676AD: Benjamin, Timilehin, and Zainab's Quest for Redemption"

Benjamin, Timilehin, and Zainab had been searching for the source of the curse for weeks. They had traveled far and wide, asking anyone they could find if they had any knowledge of the curse. Everywhere they went, they were met with blank stares and confusion.

Finally, they decided to seek out the advice of a wise old man who lived in the nearby village. He was said to have knowledge of the supernatural and the dark arts.

The trio arrived at the old man's hut and knocked on the door. After a few moments, the door creaked open and the old man appeared. He welcomed them in and offered them a seat.

The old man listened intently as Benjamin, Timilehin, and Zainab told him their story. When they were finished, he nodded his head and said, "I believe I know the source of the curse. It is said that a powerful witch lives in the forest nearby. She has been cursed by a powerful spell and is said to be the cause of the curse that has been placed on your village."

The old man went on to explain that the witch was very powerful and that they would need to be careful when approaching her. He gave them a few items that he said would help protect them and then sent them on their way.
