Janna suggests tellling Makini and Nguruma about the herbs discovered by Salamu when she served as the Tree of Life's Mjuzi, and Kenene notes that her paintings taught her about those herbs. Janna recalls ruling alongside Dayaalu and Salamu, and Makini requests to hear more about Salamu. Later, Kenene reveals that Salamu would come to the Tree of Life sometime after its founding, her arrival being prophesied to Bahan, and her medical knowledge would be passed down from generation to generation. Some time afterward, when Janna reveals that she'll tell the story of how Askari put out a fire at the Tree of Life, to which Kenene responds that she's only seen the cave paintings of it that Salamu made. In the story, during a drought at the Tree, Salamu's herb supply had run dry - and because the sick and injured couldn't be cured, animals began to die. However, after Askari put out a fire at the Tree of Life caused by dry lightning, he became enshrined in legend, and his heroics were chronicled in paintings left behind by Salamu.
