He was never meant to belong. Hinato grew up on the edges of a world that refused to accept him — a boy without an element, without a place, without a future. While others were chosen by fire, water, or earth, he was left with nothing but scars and stubbornness. Until the day he put on the forbidden armor. In a single moment, everything changed. The armor of the Baluarte — a relic said to reject the unworthy — chose him. And in doing so, it marked him as something the world cannot ignore. Now hunted by an empire that feeds on the life of the forest, and bound to a hidden sanctuary that demands everything in return, Hinato must decide what it truly means to belong. Because in Yawari, nothing is given freely. Power has a price. Survival has a cost. And belonging... demands everything.
