Story
Ngoma Nlô
In ancient times, when the roads were made of red earth and the trees whispered secrets to the wind, there lived a sacred drum called Ngoma Nlô, the Talking Drum. It was no ordinary drum: carved from iroko wood and adorned with ancestral symbols, it had the power to carry messages between distant villages. Its sound was not just music, but language: each beat was a word, each rhythm an emotion.
The elders guarded it in the village of Ebong, and when a community needed help, advice, or a celebration, the drum spoke. Its echo crossed mountains, rivers, and jungles, carrying news, warnings, and blessings. It was the soul of communication, the spiritual heartbeat that united the people.

But one moonless night, a greedy stranger stole the drum. He took it far away, intending to sell it as mere art. At dawn, the villages awoke in silence. There were no songs, no answers. The mothers wept, the elders gathered, but without the drum, their words reached no one. The connection was broken.

For years, the communities lived in isolation, distrustful of one another. Traditions began to fade, like smoke in the wind. Until a boy named M'Boma, born in silence, dreamed of the drum. In his dream, the spirits showed him the way to where it was hidden.
Guided by the rhythm of his heart, M'Boma embarked on a journey through jungles and savannas. He found the drum in a forgotten cave, covered in dust but untouched. When he played it, the drum spoke again. Its voice awakened the ancestors, and its echo reunited the villages.

Now, each generation learns to read the rhythms of the drum. Not only to communicate, but to remember that tradition, like sound, lives on as long as it is shared. And that when the common voice is lost, the soul of the people is lost.

Story
Putri Laut and the Threshold Gem
En las profundidades del Mar de Brunei, donde los corales cantan y las corrientes susurran secretos antiguos, vivía Putri Laut, hija del Guardián de las Mareas. Su cabello era como algas de luna, y sus ojos reflejaban constelaciones sumergidas. Cada noche, ascendía a la superficie para escuchar las canciones de los humanos, hasta que un día, vio al príncipe Darul recitar versos a la orilla del acantilado.
El amor nació entre olas y palabras. Putri Laut, desafiando las leyes del océano, emergió en forma humana. Para permanecer en tierra, entregó la Permata Tersembunyi, una gema ancestral que equilibraba los latidos del mar y la respiración de la tierra. La gema fue sellada en el templo de los vientos, custodiada por monjes que desconocían su poder.
Durante años, la armonía reinó. Los peces danzaban cerca de las costas, las lluvias eran suaves, y los volcanes dormían. Pero la codicia de un noble rompió el sello. La gema desapareció, y con ella, el equilibrio. El mar se alzó con furia, tragando aldeas. La tierra se agrietó, liberando fuego y sombra.
Putri Laut, desgarrada entre el amor y su deber, regresó al océano. Convocó a las criaturas abisales, a los espíritus del agua, y juntos buscaron la gema perdida. Darul, guiado por el remordimiento, descendió al templo sumergido, enfrentando pruebas de aire, fuego y silencio.
Finalmente, en el corazón de una medusa de cristal, halló la gema. Pero al tocarla, comprendió: solo un sacrificio puro podía restaurar el equilibrio. Putri Laut ofreció su esencia marina, convirtiéndose en espuma eterna. La gema brilló, y los mundos se reconciliaron.
