Ali tok dogadaja ne ide na ruku Renga Moi. Izbije rat pre nego što on stiže da okonča obred osveóenja bllzanaca. On mora da blra: da li da se bori, spase sete i time prolije krv ili da se povuče, okonča obred, a sete propadne. U prvom slučaju osveta bllzanaca će biti Ilčna.

venga moi synopsis The village of the Seven Hills was going through a period of crisis, threat and instability, when Nakazzi and Renga Moi united and had twins. It was necessary that the ceremony of the purification of the Darkened House be gone through, and the twins pacified before the threat of war from the villages beyond the foothills forced Renga Moi to shed blood and incur the fiery wrath of the twins. But there was no time. For the purificwhile. The father of twins must leave his house and enter a new “darkened house” where he stays alone for some time, in the dark; he has to shave his head and pair his nails for the purity of the twins. And he must not shed blood during this period of waiting. The penalty for breach of traditions is the death of twins by some human alchemy and then the revenge of the twins against their parents. But the trend of events was not in Renga Moi's favour. War broke out before Renga Moi could finish the ceremony of the twins. He had to chose: should he fight, save the vi läge and shed blood? Or should he hide, finish the ceremony of the twins, but lose the village. In the former case the revenge of the twins would be personal. In the latter, the destruction would be universal. He fought and went into exile. The

village suffered the after-effects of a war of destruction. The Deviner revealed to the people that there were unrequited twins In the Seven Hills, and eventually Nantumwa, the voice of truth found the twins where Nakazzi bad hiden them. The Deviner says the twins must be pacified by impalements of the spears. This is done just before Renga Moi returns from the exile of war and goest through the ceremony of purification by passing through an anti-hill. Renga Moi wants to see his twins. At first none dares tell him the truth. When the Deviner reveals what has happened with his children, Renga Moi kills him.
