The old man led Makai to a strange, hidden place beyond the city—a quiet sanctuary where the wind didn't blow and the trees never moved.
"I've waited lifetimes for someone like you," he said. "Someone brave, instinctive… and pure."
Makai stood frozen. "What… are you?"
"I'm the last Guardian of Horizon. And you're going to be my successor."
He knelt and whispered in a forgotten tongue.
A surge of glowing energy—white, green, and silver—wrapped around Makai.
"You are now one with the environment. You'll draw strength from the land, the skies, the silence itself. But your true test awaits…"
The old man's eyes turned toward the sea.
"In Fiji, a creature is coming. A beast with six arms, born of the ocean's wrath. If it awakens fully… the world drowns."
