In this episode we follow along Santiago and his new friend the Englishmen as they continue their journey across the Sahara to Al-Fayoum, an Oasis in Egypt. 

The Englishmen, an Alchemy enthusiast is in search for a 200+ year old Alchemist who he could learn from, meets Santiago where they create a special friendship and exchange knowledge and stories from each other's past.

Along the road lies danger in which the Caravan going across the Sahara must be cautious, the Oasis which seems like the destination to be given it being the residency of the Alchemist and Santiago's new found romantic interest, Fatima. 

Yet the danger continues to grow and Santiago is given the responsibility to save the Oasis.

In this episode we start with Santiago's journey to find riches as he goes over to the continent of Africa. Met with his first challenge the first day he is put in a position to give up or to keep going and satisfy his Personal Legend. 

Given how far he's come in the past 24 hours and how much he has learned in such a short amount of time, he realizes the world is all the same, speaking relatively. All that he has learned in his previous life can still be applied to his current & future endeavors. 

We explore the themes of never giving up, being optimistic is bad situations, looking at the glass half-full, and not half empty.
