Along their journey, Khumliensang heard a prophecy to impress Pu and break the decree. But to fulfill it,they needed to collect the rarest of ingredients:a Nongin feather, a Sangai's tear ,and a forbidden skull from an abyss.

As they ventured deeper into the deep forest (Imphal valley), they encountered mischievous Meiteis who demanded a big area of Zalengam in exchange for the Sangai's tear. Khumliensang's bravery proved their worth, and the Meiteis were slain.

Next, they ascended the highest peak of Mount Thangting(Thangjing), where the Nongin dwelled. Its fiery wings illuminated the night sky as it shed a single feather. Khumliensang courageously reached out, grasping the feather, feeling its power course through him.

Finally, they reached the Endless Abyss (Nagaland), where the forbidden skull lay hidden. With each step, the headhunter tribes there attack them and tried to consume them, but their love became their guiding light. Khumliensang plunged into the abyss, retrieving the skull.
