In their journey down to the South, they saw an Island of forest with good water front for fishing. They stop and check around if anyone is living in the forest, but no one where see. Prince Nenuwa & his people sat down and think what to do, and he called on the Juju Priest among them to consult the Oracle. If there will be peace and harmony in the Land, also if the Soil and Water will be fertile for them.
