About this listen
Solène and the other students step into a new realm of Vodou, invoking the Petro lwa—the spirits of fire, revolution, and raw power. Unlike the calm, nurturing presence of the Rada spirits, the Petro lwa burn with intensity, demanding respect and offering strength only to those who can withstand their fire.
The ceremony begins with Ezili Dantor, the fierce protector of women and children, whose presence fills Solène with a sense of unbreakable love and vengeance. The air thickens with heat as Met Kalfu, the master of the crossroads, is called, bringing an eerie stillness that hints at the dangers of unrestrained power. Finally, Ogoun, the warrior spirit, arrives with the force of a storm, his energy charging the space with the unyielding fire of battle and survival.
The night after the ritual, Solène dreams of a burning forest, with Ogoun standing at its center, watching her, testing her resolve. She is then transported to the crossroads, where Met Kalfu waits, keys in hand, offering a choice she knows will define her journey. The fire of the Petro lwa has been ignited within her—but whether it will forge her into something stronger or consume her entirely remains unknown.
