[COMPLETED] Beyond the Waves of Cuatro Islas
31 parts Complete Mavis sets out on a journey to Cuatro Islas, a group of four islands off Leyte, Philippines, to reconnect with his late grandfather's stories of mythical guardians-and a lost love that was never meant to be. Each island-Digyo, Apid, Mahaba, and Himokilan-is rumored to guard fragments of an ancient love story between two men whose romance was shattered by fate. Mavis's only guide is a weathered map his grandfather left behind, marked with symbols he believes could lead to the lovers' final resting place.
On Digyo Island, Mavis meets Noah, a mysterious traveler also searching for answers about the islands. Mavis is captivated by Noah's quiet depth and sense of longing, but Noah remains guarded, as though burdened by secrets of his own. The two join forces, and as they uncover artifacts on each island, the story of the ancient lovers reveals itself, leading them through passion, heartbreak, and forbidden love. The parallels between the tale and their own growing connection aren't lost on Mavis, who finds himself falling for Noah even as the spirits of the islands seem to urge him to dig deeper.
On their final night on Digyo, as they discover the last artifact, the spirits reveal themselves and tell Mavis and Noah that the ancient lovers' story is incomplete-their souls are trapped in the islands, waiting for two destined hearts to finish what they began. As the spirits present them with a choice to reunite the lost souls or risk losing each other, Mavis wonders, Is their connection just an echo of a past love, or is it the start of something real?
