Gazing into the vastness of the sky, a question echoes within me: Who am I? A secret cloaks my existence, one that hides my extraordinary abilities. I can soar through the clouds, lift mountains with a mere thought, and even unravel the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle or the Devil's Sea, those infamous nautical graveyards.

From this celestial vantage point, the world stretches before me in all its breathtaking beauty and teeming life. Yet, a shadow of darkness lurks within it, threatening the fragile balance. But fear not, for I am not alone. Each nation harbors a sentinel, guardians with powers like mine, united in times of peril and human discord.

Yes, we call you humans, not with superiority, but with a deep responsibility for your safety. It is our lineage that has shielded you from celestial collisions, averted apocalyptic threats like the looming attack of Kronos, the forgotten Titan of Time. Though Olympus stands empty, devoid of its divine inhabitants, we remain, silent protectors against an unknown danger.

And there's a twist – unlike my kindred, I am no demigod. My blood pulsates with a darker legacy, the combined might of the Titan Tartarus, Mother Earth Gaia, and the personification of Darkness itself. Am I a weapon forged from hatred? Perhaps, but my purpose remains shrouded in uncertainty.

Zeus, once the Olympian king, vanished along with his celestial court, plunging the world into chaos. Panic ripples through the lands, fueling fears of a catastrophic end akin to a certain fictional war of thrones. But no, that would be far too bleak.

So, here I sit, atop the mighty Everest, seeking counsel from the mountain itself. Everest is a grumpy guardian, swallowing up careless climbers who disrespect his ancient slopes. Today, however, he deigns to grant me an audience, offering a message for you.

I stand, bathed in the celestial light, yet the answer eludes me. This is my story, the untold saga shrouded in secrecy, and I share it with you now. Let its fragments illuminate the shadows, whisper of hidden powers, and remind you that even in the darkest hours, protectors walk among you.
