N’Dore foresees the great destruction to be wrought by Deaths Edge, and sends Oso out into the world, to stop the Blade of darkness, and find the key to stopping the corruptor once and for all.

Oso and AbdulOmarMohammed meet. Oso's riddle tells him to seek the desert storm, and he takes this as a sign that they are meant to work together. They find that they share same quest, and become fast friends. They decide to team up to stop Death's Edge.

Oso and Abdul battle with Deathblade over many years. They eventually defeat him at ZaizensTemple in Siberia, and snap the blade in two. Oso, having completed his task, returns to TheAshari.

Oso Finds ShesuAshari in a Nigerian Orphanage, and brings him to the village, and helps him into the priesthood. Oso's spirit quest is completed. He becomes a father figure to Shesu, helping him learn about his power, and guiding him and advising him as he grows.

Shesu decides to try to attain the highest rank of the priesthood. Oso warns him against the attempt, as he knows how painful and lonely exile can be. Shesu goes ahead with the rite, however.
