Akunna's sleep was deep and profound, her mind was alive with visions. She found herself standing in the Imo River, the water swirling around her ankles. The sun beat down upon her face, and the air was thick with an otherworldly presence. She felt a strange energy coursing through her veins, as if the river itself was alive and communicating with her.
As she waded deeper into the river, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a woman, tall and statuesque, with skin as dark as the night sky. Her face was obscured by a veil of mist, and her voice was like the gentle lapping of the river's waves.

Akunna's cry of horror was drowned out by the river's roar. She felt a surge of anger and helplessness, her mind racing with thoughts of her family, her friends, and her people. She turned to the mysterious woman, her eyes pleading for help.
"Please, Imo River, if you have truly chosen me, help my people! Save them from this destruction!"
The woman's veil of mist seemed to shimmer, and her voice whispered in Akunna's mind. "The power to save your village lies within you, Akunna. You must listen to the river's secrets and trust in its wisdom."
As suddenly as it had begun, the vision ended. Akunna found herself back in her hut, her heart still racing and her mind reeling from the horror she had witnessed.......
