The Divine Ones: the origin story of the YouNeek YouNiverse
Before the YouNiverse began, there was a family of gods. One brother became the Prince of Light. The other became the Prince of Rage.
Meet The Divine Ones: An Illustrated Saga, a new story coming soon to the YouNeek app. It’s told by Oris, son of Atala, the First Father. He tells how the gods who once guarded humanity broke apart, and how that split led to the Divine Wars.
It’s also a new way to read. An illustrated saga is built for your phone. It pairs painted art, sketches, inks and comic panels from across the YouNeek YouNiverse with brand-new prose, narrated by Oris. Some of this art you may have seen before. It has never been brought together like this.
Quick facts:
- Season 1 has six chapters. Chapter 1, Before the World Was Afraid, is coming soon.
- It’s for YouNeek app subscribers.
- It’s inspired by the story of Cain and Abel from the Bible.
- The team: created and written by Roye Okupe. The art is by Toyin “Morby” Ajetunmobi, Godwin Akpan and Sunkanmi Akinboye.
If you love stories about Zeus, Thor, Odin, Anansi and Shango, this one is right up your alley.
