1:52
spiritual Realms hen's narrative is not
1:56
just about conflict but about forging
1:58
Pathways for growth and Innovation the
2:01
complexity of ogan's character is
2:03
reflected in his dual nature both
2:06
destructive and constructive while he
2:09
wields the power to destroy he also

holds the knowledge to build and create

figure of the past but a living symbol
3:32

strength resilience and the unyielding
