Liongo by Roderic P. Urgelles

Liongo was a legendary warrior and leader in Pate, known for his strength and bravery.

A magical flaw: If Liongo was pierced in his navel, he would die.

Haring Ahmad wanted to imprison Liongo because he felt threatened by Liongo's power and popularity.

Haring Ahmad taking power signaled a shift from the matrilinear system to a patrilinear system, where the throne passed through the male line.

Liongo's supporters sang a special song outside his prison, giving him the strength and inspiration to escape.

Liongo's courage and cunning intelligence led him to successfully overthrow the existing ruling structure and establish himself as the leader.

If struck in his navel by a needle or sharp object, Liongo would die instantly.

Imprisoned and chained by Haring Ahmad, Liongo used his strategic thinking to devise an escape plan.

The succession of Liongo accelerated the shift from matrilinear to patrilinear inheritance since he became the ruler.

Liongo possessed immense physical strength and height, similar to a giant, making him impervious to most weapons.

Mbwasho, Liongo's mother, held the knowledge of his secret vulnerability: his navel.

Liongo sang a magical song that held exceptional power, allowing him to break free from his chains and escape from prison.

Haring Ahmad imprisoned Liongo because he saw Liongo as a threat to his power and rule, due to his extraordinary abilities.
