The village wakes up to a terrifying call announcing the death of someone who drowned in one of the village wells. The simpletons gather, fearing for their children, and it is revealed that the victim of the deep well this time is "Maryam bint Hamad Wad Ghanem", who was struck by something resembling an epidemic in her last days. As a result, she suffered from an unprecedented headache, and all medicines and folk remedies failed to save her, except for water skins, which were the only treatment capable of alleviating the pain, leading her to this sad end. "Kadhia bint Ghanem" notices that the deceased is pregnant with a child, and her courage piques her resolve to cut open the mother's womb and extract the fetus, allowing it to grow after finding a substitute mother to breastfeed it. The child, "Salem", grows up to become a legend who creates legends, and "the infidel", the owner of "the migration" that opens up to the vastness of the unknown.
