I crawled alive from the belly of the earth, Ripped from the darkness by a single breath at birth. The depths had sealed my fate beneath their endless reign, But I stole their hidden treasure and shattered every chain. Inside my hand, a captive star ignites, A fragment carved with runes that twist like living firelight. I raise my eyes toward those merciless giants, Iron spires piercing through the heavens. For countless moons I turned away in fear, Building walls and hiding from their stare. But now I need them more than ever before, Hope and mystery flow beneath my skin. Come… The wind is carrying answers I've never heard before. The Island gives back forgotten memories. Beneath the giant Obelisks, Something burns inside. Like an ember crossing ages, Leading me alive. I'm the echo of a memory This Island won't erase. Every step keeps pulling me Toward a path already traced. Beneath this living monument of steel I found Fragments of forgotten data glowing from the ground. Ancient Artifacts buried deep below, Forged as sacred keys to where nightmares grow. Every cave conceals a secret. Every secret hides a scar. Every scar reveals a Guardian. Every Guardian waits. They're still there... Beyond the screens above. Sleeping. Hungry. Executioners of a world not born from love. Everything I thought I knew Was only the beginning. Just the first step Into the unknown. Beneath the giant Obelisks, Something burns inside. Like an ember crossing ages, Leading me alive. I'm the echo of a memory This Island won't erase. Every step keeps pulling me Toward a path already traced. I've crossed the swamps, the canyons, the storms, Frozen caverns where silence takes form. I've fallen through the cracks where daylight dies, Searching for the truth beneath these lies. I climb. I run. I fall. I rise. Every Artifact adds another chain, While the whole Island watches every step I make. The data starts aligning, Names. Shapes. Shadows. Colossal Guardians sleep inside their prison halls, Waiting for a specimen to answer the call. So I gather all my own. The claws. The fangs. The thunder of their roars. An army raised with patience, Built through trust, Ready to shake their kingdom into dust. Potential specimen identified. The altar opens wide. The air begins to tear apart. We're ready for the fight. At least... That's what we believe. Beneath the giant Obelisks, We're ready to face it all. Fire burning in my creatures' eyes, Tonight their Guardian falls. Before the altar, Proud and unafraid, We'll challenge this Titan And return victorious. Failure probability. Error. A-XI. The gates swing open. An endless chamber stands before us. The ground begins to shake. The light explodes. Now I understand. They were bigger. Stronger. Faster. Too many. The first ones fall. Then another. Then another. Roars become screams. Screams become silence. I shout. I call for help. Nobody answers. I run. I bleed. I hide. A countdown echoes. Ten. Nine. Eight. That monstrous spider's crushing everything! Seven. Six. Five. Pieces of my family everywhere! Four. Three. I run. I slip. I fall. Its eyes are locked on me! Two. One. Beneath the giant Obelisks, I watched my wings burn down. Before the Guardians of another age, We were only sparks. The Island would not take my life. It whispered through the wind. Behind every scar I've earned, The fire still lives within. The sound of waves. The taste of salt. Sand beneath my hands. The beach. Again. I look toward the Obelisk. Its mystery still consumes me. One thought remains. I'll need... More teeth.
