Camilla
Camilla; Fang; K'Bali (death); Senga (death)
Camilla, queen of the jungle, had heard the death drums from afar...
Camilla hears that Senga (an evil Zombi queen that reportedly can not die) has declared that K'Bali must die. She rescues K'Bali from a leopard and sends a message that K'Bali will tell Senga's secrets. Senga kidnaps him and gives K'Bali a knife and tell him to kill her so that she can prove that she can't be killed. K'Bali is suddenly paralyzed and falls into a pit and is killed by wild beasts. Camilla figures that the weapon must have been poisoned and challenges Senga to a fight. Senga dies when Camilla dodges and she falls into the same pit that K'Bali fell into.
