Our Story

When the Gong Sounds Again

In a once-harmonious African kingdom where the gong symbolized unity, truth, and communal spirit, darkness begins to creep in.
What was once a land of song, dance, and shared destiny slowly fractures under the weight of political greed, spiritual manipulation, and betrayal from within. At the center of the kingdom lies The Region, a shadowy political order that has learned to wield influence like a weapon. They turn gifts into chains, friends into spies, and justice into a bargaining chip. As elections draw near, their covert power spreads, reaching into palaces, shrines, and the hearts of ordinary people.

Amal, a principled young leader, becomes the story’s pulse — desperate to restore sanity to a land slipping into chaos. Albert, brilliant yet tormented, struggles between truth and survival. Saikbas, a guardian of tradition, carries secrets that the Region would kill to keep buried. As alliances shift, enemies disguise themselves as brothers, and the Arena’s cultic rituals tighten their grip, the kingdom begins to buckle.

When Saikbas suddenly falls, Amal races against time, only to uncover a haunting truth: the battle for power has consumed even the custodians of the old ways. What appears dead may not be dead; what appears loyal may be the very hand sowing destruction.

Across the unfolding scenes — from tense council meetings to spiritual ceremonies, from whispered betrayals to explosive confrontations — the community is forced to confront one question: Can a people torn apart by fear remember who they once were?

As drums rise and destinies collide, the kingdom discovers that unity is not given; it is forged, reclaimed, and sometimes reborn in fire. And when the gong finally sounds again… it is not merely a call, it is a reckoning.
