"Two Destinies Beneath One Moon" A golden portal tears open in the quiet forest outside Rivermoor, throwing out a badly wounded Master Jin and a twelve-year-old Huma — the sole survivors of Aurelis's fall. Recognizing the city as a place King Aurelius once prepared for exactly this moment, Master Jin leads the traumatized princess into town, where Zee's mother takes them in without question, tends their wounds, and offers them a hidden cottage on the hillside — no questions asked, and a promise from Huma never to reveal who she truly is. While Master Jin quietly wrestles with grief, guilt, and a vow made to his fallen king years ago, the story shifts to a much lighter note: young Zee, covered in mud and fleeing three furious bears after stealing a banana, stumbles back into town as the Guild's resident troublemaker — "the Banana Hero." Sent that evening to deliver supplies to the mysterious new arrivals on the hill, Zee knocks on the cottage door and comes face to face with Huma for the first time. Neither says much — but something shifts in him the instant their eyes meet. As the moon rises over Rivermoor, both children process the night in their own way: Huma sleeping under Master Jin's silent watch, and Zee training alone beneath the moonlight, swearing that one day he'll conquer the dungeon everyone fears. Two children. Two broken and hopeful destinies. Neither yet knows how deeply their paths are about to intertwine.
