These enigmatic beings possess a secret power, a power that has been guarded for centuries, with the potential to revolutionize the world.
Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, Avis embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries of the Aethiopians and their extraordinary power.
