Vixen: The Movie Page #4

get this thing off my neck

without me losing my neck.

There's absolutely zero need for all...

For all this. All right?

So, you were telling the truth

when you said you just wanted to know

where the totem came from.

Specifically, where I came from.

Who my family is.

My real family.

In that case, you're in quite a bit of luck.

I'm your family.

You're my sister.

Welcome home.

This is Zambesi.

It's in M'Changa province.

- Which is in...

- Africa?

You took me to Africa?

You kidnapped me all the way to Africa?

I'm giving you everything

you asked for, Mari.

I've brought you here because

this is where the totem belongs.

Where you were born.

Our people asked

the god Anansi to protect them.

He is known as a trickster,

able to take any shape

he wishes to combat his enemies.

In exchange for our worship,

he gave us a totem to channel his power.

A gift to be passed

from generation to generation.

I was but four when I was chosen.

One day,

the local warlord sent

his men to raid the village

for what little we had to offer.

Followed shortly after

by the burning of our village.

Our mother left

with two things most precious,

the totem and you.

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

I was the totem's guardian.

It was my responsibility

to see that our village

did not come to harm.

That's horrible.

Zambesi may be nothing but ash and cinder,

but it is still my home,

still my sacred obligation to protect it.

From who?

There's... There's nothing left.

There is responsibility, even to the dead.

Especially to the dead.

Okay.

Obviously, there's a whole

lot I don't understand here.

Without the totem, I had to strike bargains

with others who also craved its power.

So, when I found out you had the totem,

I had to come after it.

The totem sensed me.

That's why it came alive for you.

Unfortunately, it also bonded with you.

And there is only one way

to sever that connection

- What are you...

- I'm very sorry.

We've only just been reunited,

but my first obligation is to Zambesi.

- You understand.

- Nope. Not at all. Bye!

The spider is the true form of Anansi.

- Through its bite...

The bond between you

and the totem will be broken.

Patience.

She will not get far.

Finally.

Mari.

Awaken, my child.

It is not yet time for you, She-spirit.

You must stop the pretender.

- The darkness has infected her.

That is why your mother left this land.

She knew she had to put as much distance

between your sister and the totem and you.

Embrace your true calling.

We will stand with you

as long as you stand with us.

Do not fear the power within you.

Embrace your true calling.

We will stand with you

as long as you stand with us,
