A tragic history of an unknown tribe is almost entirely wiped out of extinction 100,000 years ago from our present-day by a devastating creature within the Earth's core known as Calamity. This magnificent tribe who were known as the Novalites contai...
The family walks through countless long, dimly lit, black-stoned corridors. As they continue to the heart of the temple, all the glowing ancient texts begin to slowly get dimmer. They flicker as if a bomb were to impact a bunker.
"Almost there!" Aster reassured.
Finally, they make it into the center of the temple where it shines brightly with a green floating amulet idly in the middle of the room. But also, the light blue light that looks to be shooting out of the ceiling to the outside (gradient between the two colors).
"Aster... What're we doing here?" Aura freezes in place... Aster turns to Aura holding Nea dearly. He hesitates before speaking, his voice wavering.
"The only thing we can do. We may not be able to save everyone..." Saddened Aster. He looks down at Nea. "But we may be able to save someone". Aura also looks down at Nea heartbroken thinking it could be their final moments together. Nea nervously stares at her father.
"Papa...?" Nea's voice slowly rises. Aura nods at Aster in agreement. Nea looks up at both of her parents. Aster goes to grab the amulet. Meanwhile, Aura places Nea down on the floor to talk to her face-to-face. Aura sounds distraught and the feeling of her whole universe collapsing in front of her destroys her emotionally knowing that her daughter will be alone and could also be her final moments before the cruel fate of death. The fact and thought that this is the last time they will ever see each other breaks her into a mess. With every last bit of emotional strength dwelling within her, she puts on a brave face and tries to be a good mother to her daughter one last time.
"My precious little child! You're going to have to be a big brave girl now, okay?" Aura said with as much confidence as she can muster. Aster comes over with the amulet to Nea and gets down to her height.
"My daughter. You must listen and remember what I am about to tell you." Aster interrupts sharply. In response to her father, she gives a sad and gentle nod.
"That big scary monster outside is from stories of old and won't stop at anything to destroy our world and everyone in it. There's one way your mother and I can stop it for now... But I'm afraid it comes at a price. However, there's something you must do for us. For all of us. You're going to drift off to sleep for a numerous amount of years. But as you awaken, you must take this amulet and touch it with 20 ancient stone pillars around the world. This will subdue the beast known as calamity from ever harming the world ever again. The amulet will show you the way to each pillar. Let nothing stop you and hurry to reach them before it is too late! You have so much power in that heart of yours. I know you can do this! We all love you so much!"
Nea starts to cry and goes in for a hug with her father as tight as she can, being it her last with him. The father with tears in his eyes, hugs her tightly and kisses her on the head. Her mother without any hesitation comes in and hugs together as a family. The room is struck for a minute with a brief ambient silence as though the world outside and time itself had come to a stop just to cherish this final family hug. No one wants to let go.
"But... But..." Nea sobs. Aster pulls back from the hug slightly and lays a hand on Nea's shoulder.
"You understand all that I just told you?" Aster pats Nea on the head gently. Nea nods whilst in tears.
"That's my beautiful brave girl!" Aster said whilst forcing a smile. The family goes back in for a bigger final hug.
"I know you'll do us proud! We will always be with you!" Aura sobbed.
"I...I love you..." Nea cried to both of them. Aura and Aster both go to pick Nea up and place her in the middle of the room where the light is going to the ceiling and also where the amulet stood before.
"We love you too! More than anything in the world!" Aura comforted. Aster looks at the amulet briefly and then returns his gaze to Aura. Then, the two hold hands. Aura places her spare hand on Nea whereas Aster uses his spare hand to hold the amulet. Summoning up their power, they both start to glow brighter as well as the amulet. The surrounding environment also starts to charge up full of blue colorful energy. Nea becomes frightened as the blue-green glow fills the room. The light becomes more and more intense until it nearly blinds her, and she frantically reaches her left hand toward her father.
"I... Wait... M-Mama! Papa!" Nea screams.
Before she knows it, her left hand that's reaching out towards her parents starts to turn into energy. She is starting to get absorbed into the amulet which begins to float out of Aster's hand and into its original state. Calamity lets out a furious roar.
Aster choked up but barely managed to whisper his last words: "You'll be great out there... Nea."
