It was a close call, but the tornado didn't hit us. We all ran in different directions, and when it disappeared, in its place stood a little man with a stout frame and long, gray beard. He wore white robes adorned with intricate golden lines, as if they told the story of existence itself.The little man, like us, refused to speak. He simply walked toward the Lagoon and performed his magic, while we did our part by letting him pass. For a moment, it seemed like a massive fog enveloped the entire area.

The little man, whom we all suspected of being someone legendary (I'm not fooled), led us through this passage as though he were guiding our souls through the universe's very history.At the end of the path, we found ourselves before the crystal's whirlpool, a portal to the unknown and possibly a fateful destiny.
