After performing a washing ritual with magic water, which contains torn pieces of paper with secret ciphers, Kherou Ngor spends a few hours on the roof of the house of his uncle before he goes to the tournament. There he waits and meditates while the laundry next to him dries in the wind. His uncle is a highly respected Marabout who claims that he can alter destiny by the using magic ciphers. He writes down the ciphers on paper. The paper with the ciphers is then torn and added to the water fort he washing ritual. Marabout is the word for a shaman, a witch doctor or a cleric in Senegal.
