    Bitter Root Vol 1 12.jpg

    Issue 12 is the twelfth issue of Bitter Root and was published April 28, 2021. The twelfth issue is included in the third collected edition, Bitter Root: Legacy.

    Synopsis[edit]

    “LEGACY,” Part Two Cullen and Ford are in a fight to stay alive while Ma Etta makes a decision that will impact the entire Sangerye family. Meanwhile, Enoch makes an important discovery…but will he live long enough to tell anyone?[1]

    Plot Summary[edit]

    Following on from the ruckus caused by Enoch's pets, Cullen finds himself tangled within a living tree out in the garden of Jonnie-Ray Knox's family home. Meanwhile, Ford continues to talk with Jonnie-Ray's family inside, unaware of the happenings outside. The conversation between Ford and Jonnie-Ray's parents is cut short, however, when Jonnie-Ray's mother begins transforming into a Jinoo.

    Meanwhile in Harlem, Ma Etta tries to gather the family but finds that the majority are displaced or busy doing something else. Berg sits in the library reading collections from predominantly black authors, whilst Blink and Charlie work together and talk about Barzakh.

    Through Charlie the story of Barzakh is explained. He reveals that time flows differently in Barzakh and, for the most part, it is an entirely different reality. He does, however, explain that there were many families and tribes from different eras what lived within Barzakh. Later, Charlie reveals that Doctor Sylvester found him after pulling Adro into Barzakh and the two of them discovered Adro's castle.

    The situation at Jonnie-Ray's house begins to get worse and eventually climaxes with the death of both Jonnie-Ray's parents at the hands of his sister. Ford tries to explain that her mother wasn't who she once was, but the little girl feels alone and remarks that there is nobody left and she is all alone in the world.

    Blink and Ma Etta organise a meeting between the Sangerye family members who are currently in Harlem. They talk about being in the present and forgetting about the past but also trying to do the best they can in the now whilst not worrying about the future.

    Enoch, however, does not attend the meeting. Instead, he is held up in his house looking through research books on the Jinoo and Inzondo. He eventually believes that he has come to a valuable conclusion that may help them in their fight against the evils.
