3. Chapter.

The root was still burning, even though it was made of concrete. Her home, based on the roots of an ancient tree was destroyed. Binti saw the night masquerade again, only in the daytime, which was surprising since it meant great change, represented revolution and strange that Binti saw it when only men saw it. As she got closer to the house, she saw many bloody bodies. All the belongings of their house were burned or destroyed. Binti realized that Root had been set on fire because either Binti or Okwu was not near the house. Next, the heroes unexpectedly encountered Himba, after which they scattered when they saw Okwu alive. Binti was beside herself with joy. Okwu told her that he had survived because he was on his way to meet the elders when his tent was blown up. Binti's father became indignant, whereupon the Khoush general accused him of treason and blew up the root where Father ran, the family was killed. Further bombs were dropped on other houses in the city. When Okwu finished his story, a swarm of 10 meduses flew in, determined to attack Khoush unexpectedly. Binti appealed to Khimba, despite her inappropriate appearance, to assemble a council under the threat of the people's death. Mwinyi and Binti argued about the peoples' future and past. The possibility of war was evident. The Khoushes, who had been ambushed by meduse, did not return. Later, the friends headed toward the council building. As they walked, they talked about Himba traditions about their age-old trees and spirits. The Osemba house looked like some kind of sacred place surrounded by immortal trees. Its appearance resembled that of an enemy of the Himba people. People in red caftans sat around the fire. A conversation ensued in which the elders rebuked Binti and even wanted to kick her out, but Binti shifted the topic of conversation to the harmonization of the peoples, after which she left with her childhood friend Dele to discuss the past. During this conversation, Binti stubbornly tried to persuade Dele to get the council to act as parliamentarians between Khoush and meduses. Dele clearly does not understand Binti and feels she is an outsider. However, they do not have time to agree, the Khoushes arrive in their huge ships. The shelling that begins injures Okwu, who covers Binti, but he escapes at the expense of the bounce left behind by Binti. The Khoushes are not going to make peace, but the Himbs are willing to be parliamentarians. The relationship between Mwinyi and Binti strengthens, and Mwinyi's feelings for her become apparent. They kiss.
