Neka, a curious boy from the crimson hills, encounters a terrifying Beast long feared by his village. Instead of fleeing in fear, he bravely leads the creature into an ancient stone circle, hoping to uncover its secret. There, Neka learns the Beast is not truly a monster but a prisoner of a magical curse. Faced with a choice to keep it bound or free it, Neka chooses compassion over fear, breaking the circle. To everyone’s surprise, the Beast bows peacefully and disappears into the hills, finally free. Neka is remembered not as prey, but as the Guardian of the Hills, the boy who turned a curse into understanding.
As the Beast started roaring and shaking the ground, Neka knew he had to change his mind. So he dashed into the open fields.
His heart pounded as heavy footsteps thundered behind him.
Villagers peeked from their windows, too afraid to help, whispering, "The Beast has chosen its prey."
But Neka wasn't just running - he was leading the Beast somewhere.
He had seen a strange stone circle deep in the forest that might hold the key to stopping it.
