I have never been afraid of the dark, but I am afraid of those things swaying in the dark. Every hesitation and uneasiness nourishes the darkness, the shadows sweep in like a wave, and the abyss will invade.
…
In the sea west of Mount Targon, there is a Vastaya tribe called the Sharks. A long time ago, these creatures discovered a crack in the abyss of the sea. In this bottomless crack, there are terrifying and...
The darkness that continues to spread outwards will exterminate all living things.
In the center of the Sharman tribe's village, the Sharks placed a radiant moonstone. Legend has it that this moonstone possesses star magic infused by heaven. Its holy light can repel the darkness in the depths and protect the safety of the Sharks.
Every hundred years or so, the moonstone will begin to fade. At that time, the tribe will select the strongest warrior and give him the title of Tidecaller.
To obtain the title of Tidecaller, one must dive into the bitterly cold abyss, overcome various terrifying obstacles, and bring back a deep-sea pearl. If successful, the Tidecaller will represent the Sharman tribe to the coast and meet the people from the top of Mount Targon.
The Radiant Wanderer trades pearls for moonstones. For Tidecaller, this is an arduous process. He bears the fate of all his people and devotes all his efforts to stopping the creatures in the darkness.
In the past, the Sharks had sent elite troops to the abyss to collect pearls, but they found that the more people they sent, the more difficult those dark creatures became, as if they would adjust their own strength according to the opponent's strength.
Nami's ambition has always been to become a Tidecaller. She is a powerful warrior, but she is too young and reckless. She is famously stubborn in her clan, so she has experienced a lot of hardships. When she came of age, Moonstone was
Darkened for the first time in a hundred years.
She participated in the selection of Tidecaller. However, due to her overly impulsive character, the elders finally chose a warrior named Rasha. He was cautious and could stay calm in war. He was their ideal Tidecaller.
.
After Rasha dived into the abyss, there was no news for a whole month. There has never been an example of a Tidecaller's failure in history. While waiting, the light of the moonstone was about to fade away, and the elders had a dispute. Nami knew that this
At this time, someone must step forward and take on the task of calling the tide, otherwise, everyone will perish together.
Nami picked up her mother's wand and dived into the deep sea without hesitation. When she was a child, she heard stories from her mother that the Tidecaller was the hero of their Shark race, protecting them from the horrors of the abyss.
When the abyss eroded, the Sharks tried to suppress the surrounding sea area, but still failed to prevent the emergence of abyss monsters. The Sharks sacrificed many of their companions for this. Until a land traveler gave the Sharks a special moon stone, which contained special moonlight energy.
Protect them from erosion.
The monsters in the abyss retreated back into the cracks of the abyss under the light of the moonstone, but this did not completely eliminate them. So every once in a while, the Sharman tribe must send people to sneak into the terrifying abyss to find the most beautiful pearls and land walkers.
Trading moonstones.
The Sharks have been unable to choose the next warrior after losing contact with Rasha. Nami felt that there was always someone who had a duty to fight for the Sharks, so she resolutely dived into the abyss of the sea.
Nami saw Rasha in the abyss, Rasha who was like a mummy. He, no, maybe there was a dark purple eye-like orb on its forehead.
Rasha who met Nami said this: "You can't imagine what kind of miracle I saw. I witnessed death with my own eyes, but came back safe and sound. You don't know my power, let alone our power...
…”
"you?"
"Pearls are meaningless at all. We can bring this power to our people, and they will no longer have to fear."
Without fear, what's the point of courage? Nami no longer paid attention to Rasha, who had been eroded by the abyss. Surrounded by monsters, she successfully obtained the Abyss Pearl, returned to the Sharman Tribe, and became the new Tidecaller.
This is not over yet. What the Sharks need is the Moon Stone, not the Abyss Pearl. She ascended to the surface world and rode the tide to the shore to meet the Radiant Wanderer.
However, there was no sign of the wanderers on the shore. There was only an old woman standing on the beach waiting. The old woman said that her grandparents had witnessed the last Tidecaller transaction. She came to tell the shark that there was no such thing this time.
Moonstone. The only moon star spirit that can use magic to create moonstone has disappeared.
Nami couldn't believe the news. In order to save the lives of her people, she set out to find the Moon Star Spirit and retrieve the moonstone. Through the magical power of controlling the tide, she condensed a pool of water under the fish's tail that would never dry up.
Liu Shui set foot on land for the first time to continue her mission of saving the Sharman tribe.
Guided by existing clues, Nami came to the foot of Mount Targon and found a Rakkor village. The villagers were moved by Nami's fearlessness, but unfortunately, these Rakkor people did not know the power of the Moon Star Spirit.
Location.
On Mount Targon.
In the dark snowfield, a group of wolves are surrounding a huddled lump in the snow. A figure strides into the night, head held high. The moon has risen and looks surprisingly big. This is a common sight on Mount Targon.
.
The home of this figure is on the way to the peak. To the east is the rugged mountainside flatland, and to the west is an endless mist under the steep cliff. An icy mountain wind blows everything to the west all year round. Braving the wind and sand
It's not unusual for wild animals to blow across the flats, but it's rare for them to find prey here.
The wolves turned around and roared at her, yellow light shining through the dome windows, reflecting their semi-fluorescent eyes. At the same time, the lump tipped over. It was a girl. A pair of frightened eyes responded
Soraka looked at her, holding a wooden spear tightly in her trembling hands. There is only one thing that can bring people to this remote path leading to the holy mountain, and that is to climb to the top of Mount Targon.
Soraka drove away the wolves, and only the girl was still there. Her eyes flickered upward from time to time, peeking at Soraka's horns. Soraka already knew what she was thinking.
"Are you... that?"
"Which one?"

"Devil. I once heard..."
Hearing this, Soraka laughed. But before she could answer, the girl sank weakly, and the tip of the spear was lowered. At this time, Soraka finally felt the tremendous pain and pain from the girl.
Abnormally, her arms below the elbow joints were all black, as if they had been eroded by some unknown force.
Soraka used all the power she could give to inject the dead flesh and drive away the pain. Rings of emerald light snaked up the girl's hands. The spear fell to the ground. As Soraka used her power,
You can see that the color of part of the skin gradually fades from black to red. This is partly due to frostbite, and in other parts, the dark power that eroded the arms has not dissipated, but has been suppressed a lot.
After a while, Soraka asked: "You want to climb the main peak. Why?"
The girl said without thinking. "We...we Rakkor are all warriors. My mother, she is the strongest warrior. You don't know what it feels like to be the only one who can't fight. That kind of...weakness."
"
Soraka: I'm weak, I really haven't felt that before.
But Soraka still waved her hand and pointed to the dirt road the girl had just walked, the road leading to the foot of Mount Targon. "You have come so far, do you still feel weak?"
"My weakness will soon come to an end." The girl replied, her hands clenched into fists. "When I reach the top, I will walk up the last mountain and walk into the sky, just like in the old story
That way. Then they will have to admit my strength."
