“We are all of Erdas, united.”
-Abeke to the other Four, Heart of the Land[1]


Abeke is a Greencloak originally from Okaihee, Nilo. She is the summoner of Uraza the Leopard, and one of the four main protagonists of the series, along with Conor, Meilin, and Rollan. She is a member of the Heroes of Erdas, and is considered the hunter of the group.

Overview[]

Growing up, Abeke had always been surpassed by her sister, Soama, in craftsmanship and beauty. Their father, Pojalo, greatly preferred Soama over Abeke, even though Abeke was considered one of the most adept hunters in her village. On the day of Abeke's Nectar Ceremony, she summons Uraza the Leopard, and is immediately approached by Zerif to be recruited to the Conquerors. During her stay with the Conquerors, she befriends a boy named Shane, but soon realizes that she is on the wrong side of the war and joins the Greencloaks. Though not trusted by the other Four Fallen summoners at first, she proves to play an essential part in the Greencloaks' cause. She becomes close friends with Conor, and later, the other two Heroes of Erdas as well.

Abeke is emotional and empathetic to those around her, as she stands firm about Shane being a good person despite his affiliation, and abandons her race with Ngaio to rescue a baby orangutan. However, she can be a merciless foe as well and will completely devote herself to a cause. She is frequently described as sneaky and cat-like due to her bond with Uraza, and is an exceptional archer. She is fond of riddles and takes the supernatural very seriously. She may have had romantic feelings for Shane. It is also possible she has romantic feelings for Conor.

Appearance[]

Abeke is tall for her age,[2] with warm, dark brown skin and wise brown eyes. She wears her braided hair in a ponytail. Uraza's tattoo is just below one of her elbows. She wears a green cloak.

In Immortal Guardians, despite being mentioned to be tall, she is described to stand shoulder to shoulder with Meilin. She is also described as more muscular than before, and uses a heavier short bow made with smooth Niloan wood. Her braids are in a new, skinnier style, with wooden beads on the ends.

In the Spirit Animals Game, Lenori describes Abeke as having a lonely, faraway look in her eyes.

Wild Born[]

Abeke was born in the Niloan village of Okaihee, and lives with her older sister, Soama, and her father, Pojalo. Due to being overlooked in favor of her sister, Abeke often ventures out of Okaihee to hunt, and becomes one of the most skilled hunters among her people, despite being very young. At her Nectar Ceremony, Abeke summons and bonds to the legendary Great Beast Uraza, to the shock of everyone. Because a sudden downpour of rain followed the appearance of Uraza, the people of Okaihee believe Abeke to be their Rain Dancer, who would save them from drought. However, a man named Zerif introduces himself to Abeke and her family, convincing them that Uraza is needed for a far bigger purpose. Reluctantly, Pojalo lets his daughter leave the village with Zerif.

Abeke and Zerif set sail for an island in Amaya. On the way, Abeke is introduced to a young man named Shane, who mentors her. On the island, Abeke is told the story of the Devourer, who hails from the lost continent of Stetriol. Upon hearing that the Devourer (and his associates) are seeking the powerful talismans associated with the Great Beasts, Abeke agrees to help them search. They then travel to the location of the first talisman, the Granite Ram of Arax, but discover that the Greencloaks are also searching for the talisman. The appearance of both groups enrages Arax, and a battle begins, where Abeke quickly realizes that she is fighting for the wrong side. After Zerif cruelly kills a man named Barlow, Abeke's switch is solidified, and she leaves Arax's domain with the Greencloaks. She later takes the Greencloak vow and receives her cloak.

Hunted[]

Despite Abeke switching sides, the other three Heroes—Conor, Meilin, and Rollan—distrust her. Meilin is the most critical of her, which shows when Meilin insinuates Abeke wants the Conquerors to find them. Conor attempts to be friendly towards Abeke.

During a training session, the other children's distrust of Abeke costs them a victory. Abeke realizes they must not trust her, and she feels tears forming from the pain of her scuffed palms and humiliation of defeat. She stops herself from crying in front of them, especially Meilin, since she felt Meilin didn't cry over anything. Tarik admonishes the three of them for not acting strategically and protecting Abeke as one of their assets.

Later, Abeke is indirectly brought up in Meilin's mind, dubbed “the traitor,” during an argument with another Greencloak.

Blood Ties[]

After Meilin leaves for Zhong, Rollan shames Conor for surrendering their talisman to the Conquerors. There, Abeke reminds Rollan that Conor only did so to protect his family (they were used as leverage for Conor). Abeke states that she doesn't agree with Conor's decision but doesn't think she nor Rollan should judge their friend to harshly as it's not always easy to make the right decision. The kids soon partake in another training session under Tarik's supervisor. Following this, Abeke joins Tarik, Rollan and Conor in seeking out Dinesh's talisman.

Fire and Ice[]

Abeke is further isolated from the group when she continues to treat Shane like a friend. Due to this, she decides to look for the Ice City. She ends up finding the city and the rest of the team retrieves the talisman. The group later runs into Conquerors. Abeke talks to Shane but the other Conquerors then threaten her which caused the Battle for the Crystal Polar Bear.

Against the Tide[]

When it is revealed that there is a mole among the group, the team, mainly Meilin is suspicious of Abeke. She tries to prove where her loyalties lie but it doesn't convince them. However, when the mole is revealed to actually be Meilin (under the control of Gerathon the Serpent), Abeke's teammates apologize to her and her loyalty is henceforth proven.

Rise and Fall[]

When, both she and Meilin are captured by the Conquerors, they are able to mend their friendship; simultaneously, Abeke still considers Shane a friend. Shane helps Abeke escape from the Conquerors (whereas Meilin chooses to stay behind), and they travel to Greenhaven. Abeke assures Shane that the Greencloaks would understand their situation and let him stay in Greenhaven. However, unbeknownst to her, this was Shane's plan. He reveals himself as the true Devourer once they reach the Greencloaks' headquarters, proceeding to steal the majority of the collected talismans, and escaping upon the back of Halawir the Eagle. Abeke is devastated by his betrayal, and angry at herself for trusting him.

The Evertree[]

Abeke, Conor, Rollan, and the rest of the Greencloaks then venture to Stetriol, to attempt to thwart the Conquerors' plan to free Kovo the Ape and take over Erdas. After rescuing Meilin, the group engages in battle at Muttering Rock. Abeke duels Shane, fueled by the rage his betrayal made her feel, and manages to defeat him. She is then present at The Evertree when the Great Beasts decide to sacrifice themselves, in order to prevent Kovo from using their talismans.

Afterwards, Abeke is reunited with Soama and Pojalo at Greenhaven.

Immortal Guardians[]

Abeke meets Meilin at Greenhaven and discusses the Evertree’s sickness and the summoning of Great Beasts. She sets out with Rollan to Amaya to find Tellun. They follow a group of yak until Abeke is attacked by a mountain lion and is saved by Anda and his tribe.

Broken Ground[]

Abeke gets back from Amaya and goes to Greenhaven. The environment is stagnant and no spirit animals are present. She speaks with Olvan who tells her that Conor, Meilin, and Takoda are stuck. She is concerned and worried about them. She didn’t touch her stew that was made and it got cold. Olvan also tells her she has to go to Stetriol and she disagrees.

The Return[]

Abeke, Rollan and Tasha sail to Caylif in Nilo to meet former Greencloak Dante, who informs them of the summoner of Cabaro, Kirat. Tasha, Rollan and Abeke decide to infiltrate Zourtzi, the island fortress in which Kirat lives. Abeke, Rollan, and Tasha go undercover as servants. After Abeke stands up to and calms Cabaro, Faisel assigns her to be the personal server of Kirat. Abeke decides to tell him about how she was a Greencloak, however Kirat, who believed that Greencloaks were bad, called for the guards, and Abeke's cover was blown and she was thrown in the dungeon. Abeke, Rollan, and Tasha escape whilse the fortress is being attacked. While escaping Uraza is infected by The Wyrm and Zarif uses her to attack Abeke.

The Burning Tide[]

Abeke, Rollan, Tasha and Kirat arrive at the Place of Desolation. They meet Niri, who has summoned Mulop. They communicate with Kovo through Mulop and Niri, Kovo explaining how the Evertree and the Wyrm fell. Rollan, Abeke, Tasha, and Kirat stay behind to protect children who had lost their Great Beasts to Zerif. Abeke soon disobeys Shane's plan. She follows him, going with the archers. She attempts to fire at Zerif but is blocked by Uraza. The Wyrm arrives. A piece of rock flew into the room, Shane jumps on top of Abeke to protect her against it. Abeke is called by a message from Niri, to underground, where Rollan, Tasha, Kirat, Howl, and the children who had lost their animals were. She is interrupted by possessed Uraza trying to kill her. Shane attempts to fight Uraza She bites his side and shakes him with her jaws, forcing Abeke to shoot Uraza, who flees. Shane dies from his wounds. Zerif captures them while sending Uraza to passive state. Abeke sends an obsidian-pointed arrow towards a bell on a bell tower, ringing, for a brief moment, spirit animals and their partner's minds are reversed, and Zerif is in control of the Wyrm. Abeke begs him to kill the Wyrm, and he falls into the lava below.

Abeke then sets out alone to find Uraza, and six months later, she arrived in Stetriol, finding Uraza.

Heart of the Land[]

The Heroes of Erdas are late for their meeting at The Citadel. They are stopped at the entrance by Oathbound guards, one of whom is Brunhild the Merry. They insist that they are in the Greencloak contingent. She commands the Oathbound to attack nonetheless and the young Greencloaks defend themselves. The four defeat the Oathbound. Princess Song arrives and calls off the guards.Princess Song tries to get them all separate rooms in their country's separate wings, but Abeke insists that they have a room together. Six Greencloaks burst in and attack. They kill the Emperor of Zhong.

In Amaya, Abeke catches Worthy following them, and the Greencloaks let him join them after some arguing. At the camp, hearing a noise, Abeke nocks an arrow, then puts it down after realizing it was only Conor, Rollan, and Worthy. In a fight with th Oathbound, Abeke tries to kill Wikam the Just, but he continuously shirks her arrows.

The Wildcat’s Claw[]

The Four are on a boat headed towards Eura. Worthy tells them about The Wildcat’s Claw. When the boat docks that night, Abeke and Uraza go hunting. Later, Conor and Abeke scout ahead. Meilin buys Abeke some arrows. Abeke realizes awhile later that it’s extremely quiet, and the group gathers together as arrows rain down from above. In the morning, they discover that the Oathbound are in Trunswick. They decide to split up and head to the Howling House to attract less attention. Abeke and Meilin go together, racing across the rooftops and heading for the remains of the castle. The militiamen spot them and give chase, following them into the castle and falling through the floor. They go down and help the men before meeting up with the others at the Howling House.

Stormspeaker[]

On the ship, they talk about Kovo. Conor comes up and tells them about a vision he had. Abeke connects his description to the Taabara Chasm in northern Nilo. In the Dasat camp, Khai and Abeke are chosen to compete in a hunting contest. Khai is momentarily offended by their representative and picks up Abeke to prove that she’s inferior, but she catches him off balance and pins him to the ground. Then, the Oathbound arrive. Jehan lets them leave since Abeke proved herself a friend to the Dasat by helping Khai. Jehan hands them the demon’s blood sap and directs them to the “edge of the land”.

They find a statue of Nefrini carved into the walls with her hands cupped before her. A message is engraved: The storm’s wrath has no mercy until hands drip with the blood of demons and ancestors. Conor leans against a windowsill and triggers something that causes a crazy storm. The Four figure out that they have to put the demon’s and Abeke’s blood into the hands of the statue. The storm leaves as quickly as it came and Nefrini appears. Abeke explains why they deserve Stormspeaker and tells her that her friends are loyal and true, then Nefrini tells her about Stormspeaker and how she was the first ever Rain Dancer. She gives them Stormspeaker, but there isn’t enough time to ask where the Dragon’s Eye is. They stay at the building for a night. Meilin yells that there’s a fire in the distance, startling everyone. They realize that it’s Maktaba. Abeke tries to douse the flames with Stormspeaker, but the clouds are confined to the area that Stormspeaker is in. When they arrive at Maktaba, Abeke sets a storm upon the monastery.

Quotes[]

“I am not one to make threats. So listen well, Oathbound. We are not called the Heroes of Erdas because we spent the Second Devourer War or the struggle against the Wyrm hiding in a bunker. We have fought, and we have lost much, and some of us have suffered in ways you can't even imagine. You will not say bad things about Conor, or about any of the Greencloaks, or you will have me to answer to. Do you understand?”

–Abeke to Brunhild and Princess Song, Heart of the Land, Chapter 2: The Citadel[3]

“We're a team now. Like it or not, we're both far from home, but at least we have each other. I can tell you don't love this ship. Neither do I. But it's just taking us some place where we can be outside again. I really do like you–you're quiet, you're not pushy, and we come from the same place. I want to learn to work together.”

–Abeke to Uraza, Wild Born, Chapter 5: Training[4]

“People change,”

“Look at us. None of us are the same people we were when this first started. Whoever thought you’d finally put on that green cloak?”

“Besides, abandoning Stetriol is what got the Greencloaks into trouble last time.”

“You, me, Meilin, Conor, we’re supposed to be the future of the Greencloaks. If we choose not to help, we’re just repeating the past. We have to be better… okay?”

–Abeke to Rollan, Broken Ground[citation needed]
