🐾────── 🐺 ──────🐾

That brilliant light appears once again, this time before the sleeping boy.

— I finally found you, boy... our salvation. The end is near, and you will be the cause of it. Now, awaken!

The boy opens his eyes and realizes he's in a void—a place he's never seen before. The air is heavy, and a sense of unease wraps around him.

— What is this place? Where am I? — he wonders aloud.

The light intensifies, and a voice echoes through the space, wrapped in a mysterious aura.

— This is the realm of forgetting, where everything lost or forgotten ends up in the end.

— Why am I here? Was I forgotten?

— Far from it. You were chosen to end all of this… and to save those who suffered this fate.

— Why me? I'm not special. What can I even do? — he asks, doubt seeping deep into his thoughts.

— Your questions will be answered in time. For now, a new destiny lies in your hands… to save the worlds that have not yet been forgotten.

The timeless light begins to dissolve, merging with the boy's body. He feels a wave of warmth and hope surge through him, but a sudden fear of the unknown also grips his chest.

Then, an immense darkness rises, swallowing everything around him. The world fades into a spiral of shadows.

The boy jolts awake, rubbing his face with his hands.

— Was that real? I… I can't believe this. It felt so surreal. "Save worlds"? I'm just an ordinary kid — he thinks, staring down at his own hands.

A whirlwind of anxiety and determination stirs within him. If the light had chosen him, there must be a reason.

Suddenly, a burst of light appears before his eyes, forming a portal that glows like a lone star in the night. He hesitates but quickly gathers his things. Doubt keeps him from acting with full certainty. He stands before the portal, unsure.

— What… is this? That dream… I think I have to go in to understand.

With a mix of reluctance and anticipation, he slowly approaches. The light of the portal seems to call out to him, promising answers and an unknown destiny. He takes a deep breath, closes his eyes for a moment, and makes a silent plea—for courage to guide him.

He looks one last time at the world he knows, full of memories and longing, and then, with a final breath, steps into the portal.

In the instant he crosses into the unknown, the light envelops his body like a warm embrace. The portal vanishes with him, leaving behind only a void where once there was light.
