They are guided by a map given to Leo by a mysterious woman who believes him to be the reincarnation of her ancient lover.

Upon reaching the lost city of Kuma, they encounter Ayesha, also known as “She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed,” an immortal queen who rules the city. Ayesha believes Leo is the reincarnation of her former lover and offers him immortality.
