Kameuto stood before them, his body now adorned with wings and horns, exuding a godly presence and beauty. His voice was laced with a mix of sorrow and warning, "Hey, please... Don't follow me, and don't stay in my way. I want to study my families... I'm now a half human and half Hunger... When you try to irritate me, I'm gonna kill you all without any mercy... Goodbye.... I'm sorry, friends. I want to study them..." With that, he flew away into the forest, leaving the group stunned and silent.
The group struggled to process what they had just witnessed. Akira broke the silence, "What...what just happened? Is that still Kameuto?" Drago's expression turned grim, "He's gone. Whatever that thing is, it's not our friend anymore." Helena looked down, her voice barely above a whisper, "We have to be careful. He's not joking about killing us." Tsukyu's eyes followed the direction Kameuto flew, her gaze lingering on the forest. "We need to focus on finding a way off this island. We can't stay here with...that...thing roaming around."
Tsukyu picked up a small, delicate feather left behind by Kameuto and pinned it to her shirt. She cried out, "I will make him back to normal... I swear..." Memories of her and Kameuto's time together flooded her mind. The group tried to comfort her with food and company, but Tsukyu's eyes remained fixed on the feather, her mind resolute on saving her friend.
As they sat down to eat, Helena placed a hand on Tsukyu's shoulder, "We'll help you, Tsukyu. We'll find a way to reverse this." Drago nodded in agreement, "We've been through tough times before. We'll get through this too." Akira tried to lighten the mood, "Hey, remember that time Kameuto accidentally turned his hair bright pink?" The group shared a brief, nostalgic laugh, but Tsukyu's determination remained unwavering.
She led the group to the hidden compartment and began searching John Kane's journal for any mention of Project: Elysium. After flipping through the pages, she found it - a serum that could reverse the curse's effects. But there was a catch - it was still experimental, and they needed specific ingredients: a rare flower that bloomed under the full moon's light and a vial of pure water from the island's ancient spring.
The group set out to gather the ingredients, working together with a newfound sense of purpose. Drago navigated through the dense forest, spotting the bloom under the moonlight. Helena led them to the ancient spring, hidden behind a waterfall. As they filled the vial with crystal-clear water, they felt a sense of hope.
With all the ingredients in hand, Tsukyu began working on the serum, her hands shaking slightly as she measured the components. The group waited anxiously, their eyes fixed on the serum, willing it to work.
Just as they finished, a faint rustling outside broke the silence. They turned to see Kameuto, his eyes fixed on Tsukyu, his expression unreadable. Tsukyu approached him, the serum in hand, ready to face whatever lay ahead. The group held their breath, hoping against hope that their friend would be saved.
