**Characters:** Professor, Creatures, Tikazu, Niyaan, Prisha, Caspian, Evelyn, Hype Man, and Audience
**Scene 1 [08:05 PM, 10 Apr 2012]**
12 Years Ago – "Mysteries Part"
A professor, around 33 years old, is closing his mysterious lab at almost 8 PM. The lab, located deep inside a forest, is surrounded by a completely clear area. The professor secures the lab with a magical protective shield. He is no longer wearing his lab clothes but a regular outfit.
Professor (looking at his watch):
"It's 8:05. I guess it's time to go."
He hangs his white coat on a hanger, puts on a formal coat, and exits the lab, covering it with an ultraviolet-colored shield.
As he turns to leave, he sees three familiar creature-like animals. Their bodies appear to carry powers instead of blood, each about the size of a young lion. Ribbons-like fur flow in the air from their backs. The creatures stare at the professor. Understanding the seriousness of the situation, the professor addresses the middle creature:
"I told you not to come here. Leave now and never return."
Descending the hills, he approaches them. The middle creature steps forward:
"I already said that. But our Boss needs you. In return, we can give you anything in the world that will make you happy. You could even ask for the entire world if you wish."
The professor takes two steps toward the creature and replies:
"Happiness, huh! I do not gain joy by causing suffering. I won't go with you. It's better if you leave, or else things will get very bad for you."
The creature steps closer, attempting to persuade him:
"I think, today, you will have to come with us, one way or another."
Looking at all three creatures, the professor responds:
"Yes, that's obvious. You came well-prepared with the other two, but remember, you'll just end up rubbing your hands in vain."

**Scene 2 [Present Moment: 9 Apr 2024, 08:45 PM]**
At night, a man rings the doorbell of a house. A beautiful girl opens the door.
Girl: "Yes, how can I help?"
Man: "Are you Prisha?"
Girl: "Yes, I am. What do you need?"
The man hands her an envelope: "This is for you."
Prisha immediately recognizes it. She opens it, reads its contents, and a smile spreads across her face. She thanks the man, closes the door, and walks away, while the man leaves as well.

**Scene 3 [10 Apr 2024, 06:02 AM]**
The next morning, as the sun rises behind the mountains, Prisha wakes up with a feeling of joy, accompanied by the gentle chirping of birds.
Prisha's house = Shirakawa, Japan
She puts on a brown coat over her clothes, wears hand rubber gloves and shoes, and excitedly goes to the kitchen where her mother is.
Prisha: "Mom, I'm leaving."
Evelyn, worried: "Did you have breakfast, dear?"
Prisha: "Yes, I did."
Evelyn: "Are you completely ready, dear?"
Prisha: "Yes, I'm ready."
Evelyn hugs her with a tender voice: "Go and give it your best."
At that moment, a boy comes out from another room.
Tikazu, Prisha's younger brother: "Wait! I want to go with you."
Prisha, seeing his eagerness: "Okay, get ready quickly."
Tikazu runs to his room and returns in two minutes: "I'm ready now."
Seeing him ready, Prisha says: "Alright, let's go."
---
**Scene 4 [10 Apr 2024, 06:30 AM – Going to Stadium]**
Prisha and Tikazu walk along the path. On one side is a river, on the other a beautiful garden.
Suddenly, they hear a voice: "Wait…"
They turn back. Tikazu, excited: "Oh, it's Niyaan! Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Niyaan: "I know Prisha's Stonecrest Ridge Final Competition is today. I enjoy watching her compete because she's amazing."
Tikazu: "Then we'll cheer together for my sister."
Prisha playfully pinches their cheeks: "Thanks, Niyaan, and my dear brother, for cheering me. Let's go."
As they walk, Prisha notices: "By the way, you both joined high school this year, right?"
Niyaan: "Yes, sister, we're not kids anymore."
Prisha (smiling): "Oh really? I thought you were just born today!"
All three laugh.
Tikazu, teasing: "No chance for you, sister!"
Prisha suddenly stops, and Niyaan and Tikazu look at her in surprise. She leans down and says: "Wait, didn't you both have school today?"
Niyaan (nervously): "Umm, actually our math teacher isn't coming today, so we didn't go."
Tikazu quickly covers Niyaan's mouth, embarrassed. Niyaan whispers: "What, are you trying to get me killed?"
Prisha, smiling, walks on: "You really have grown up. And how beautiful you both are, not caring about your age."
Niyaan bites Tikazu's hand, making him jerk back in pain. Tikazu shouts: "Ow! Be quiet!"
Niyaan: "Relax, you'll stick with me anyway."
Seeing their playful fight, Prisha laughs: "You two will never change. Keep dreaming."
Finally, they reach the stadium. At the counter, a man sees Prisha and stands:
"Oh hello, Ma'am… your room is that way."
Prisha: "Thank you."
The man adds: "Wait, you two cannot go in."
Niyaan: "Why? What happened?"
Counter Man: "It's only for competitors."
Niyaan: "We're her younger brothers. Our presence won't create a common room, it's still the competitor room."
The man hesitates, slightly annoyed: "Rules are rules. You can only go to the audience hall. No exceptions."
Niyaan, mischievously: "Tikazu, uncle got mad. Let's just sit in the audience hall. Rules or not, his heart will break."
Tikazu smiles at Prisha and teases her: "Looks like someone's butterflies are flying in their stomach."
Prisha pinches Tikazu's cheek: "Just a bit nervous before the competition. That's all."
Niyaan encourages: "Don't worry, sister. You'll win. I believe in you."
Prisha: "Thanks for cheering me on. Now you two go, I'm heading in."
As Prisha enters the competitor room, Hype Man announces:
"Friends! Today is the Stonecrest Ridge Final Competition! Prisha from Havenwood faces Caspian from Hornbloom. Both are highly skilled Stone Holders, experts with their stones. The competition begins now. Competitors, are you ready for the ultimate challenge?"
The audience cheers loudly:
"Prisha! Prisha! Caspian! Caspian!"
Prisha takes a deep breath, her determination overcoming her nerves. She tells herself:
"Yes, I'm ready."
She steps into the field, while Caspian enters from the other side, both lost in their thoughts.
Prisha (thinking): "I must win this competition. I cannot break my mother's trust. This is my last chance."
Caspian (thinking): "I will not accept defeat today. No matter what happens, I will win this competition."
Meanwhile, the audience erupts seeing the two competitors:
"Prisha! Prisha! Caspian! Caspian!"
Prisha vs Caspian – The Challenge of the Fire Cavern
Prisha and Caspian have stepped out for the battle.
The audience roars with excitement upon seeing both of them.
Tikazu turns to Niyan and says,
"Look at Prisha walking out there — she's insane to win. She won't show any mercy to Caspian."
Niyan replies,
"Yeah, I think so too. Caspian better be careful.
That madness of hers… that's what makes her win."
Just then, a girl sitting nearby smirks nastily — her name is Zoey.
"Don't be so sure," she says mockingly.
"Don't judge someone without knowing them. Who knows, maybe your sister will be the one to lose."
Niyan, wanting to tease her, jokes to Tikazu,
"Hey Tikazu, do you smell something burning? Could it be jealousy?"
(Both burst out laughing.)
Zoey gets irritated and yells,
"Hmph! Laugh all you want, it won't change the truth!
Caspian is my brother, and I believe in him! He'll defeat your sister easily! Hmph!"
Seeing her reaction, Niyan teases even more,
"Ohhh, so you're Caspian's sister, huh?
No wonder you're burning up so much that it's getting hot here!"
(Tikazu and Niyan laugh even harder.)
Tikazu then becomes a bit serious,
"Well, your jealousy won't decide anything.
Who wins and who loses — the result will tell."
Zoey, now fuming, says angrily,
"Fine then! Let's make a bet! If my brother loses, I'll apologize to you.
But if your sister loses, you'll have to apologize to me!"
Niyan, clearly enjoying this, says teasingly,
"Hehe… Fine, we'll gladly accept your apology later."
(Zoey grits her teeth, trying to calm herself while the two keep laughing at her expression.)
Just then, the Hype Man's voice echoes through the arena:
"Attention both competitors!
You'll enter the cave from your respective sides!
The one who retrieves the Stone placed at the center first — will be declared the winner!
But beware, dangers await inside!
You are only allowed to use Salvo Attacks!
Now… let the battle of courage begin!"
Prisha and Caspian take deep breaths and head into the magical cave.
Everything happening inside is displayed on the giant screen for the audience.
As Caspian enters and walks a bit ahead, the ground suddenly turns into dry sand.
The sand starts rising, trapping his feet.
Caspian mutters,
"This… this sand—it's freezing my legs! Ugh, I need to get out fast!"
He struggles to pull his legs free.
The same thing happens to Prisha.
"Ahh… If this keeps rising, I'll sink! I can't get stuck here. I need to act fast!"
The Hype Man shouts,
"The first challenge has trapped both competitors!
Let's see — can they overcome it, or will they fall right at the start?"
Caspian closes his eyes, thinks for a moment, and then says,
"Yes… this should work."
He activates his Green Fire Stone, blasting the sand away with fiery pressure, and moves ahead.
Zoey cheers loudly seeing this.
Niyan, noticing, teases her again,
"Hey Tikazu, who knew burning people could still smile?"
Tikazu plays along, "Yeah! Can jealous people actually laugh?"
(Both burst into laughter again. Zoey clenches her teeth, annoyed.)
Inside the cave, Prisha thinks,
"There's only one way out of this."
She activates her Teal Fire Stone, creating a bridge of teal flames hovering above the sand — a bridge that doesn't burn her.
Prisha leaps up onto it and crosses the sand field safely.
The Hype Man cheers,
"Incredible! Both are doing amazing!"
The crowd chants,
"Caspian! You can do it!"
"Prisha! You've got this!"
Tikazu, Niyan, and Zoey — all cheer for their siblings.
As Prisha crosses the sand, she enters a red-soiled arena where suddenly sharp rocks shoot toward her from all directions.
Her expression tightens — she's alarmed.
Caspian faces the same danger and looks shocked as well.
The Hype Man announces,
"Looks like another challenge is upon them!
Do you think they can survive this one?"
Tikazu shouts, "Be careful, Prisha! Believe in yourself!"
Niyan adds, "Relax, Tikazu. She'll handle it — and faster than Caspian. I know Prisha."
Zoey laughs mockingly, "Hmm, yeah… I think so too!"
(Tikazu and Niyan ignore her, eyes fixed on the screen. Zoey gets even more irritated.)
Inside, as the rocks fly toward her, Prisha ducks just in time — they collide and shatter, shaking the cave.
But they soon reappear — coming from four sources around her.
Caspian jumps high, dodging them, realizing the same pattern.
He steps back to think.
Niyan teases Zoey again, "Looks like someone's brother just gave up!"
Zoey growls in anger.
The Hype Man exclaims,
"Wait, Caspian's retreating? While Prisha's still fighting strong?"
Prisha crouches again and blasts one of the sources with a Powerful Teal Fireball, destroying it — but three still remain.
She then leaps and unleashes rapid strikes, destroying all remaining sources with fireballs.
"Finally! That's over," she sighs. "Now I need to keep going — I will win this competition, no matter what."
Meanwhile, Caspian had already identified the sources earlier — that's why he stepped back.
He swiftly destroys two with Green Fire blasts.
The Hype Man announces,
"Smart move! Caspian stepped back to plan his strategy — while Prisha fought bravely with skill and instinct! Both are neck and neck!"
Prisha keeps moving forward, while Caspian finishes the remaining two sources.
Then, suddenly, a yellow fire hawk appears before Prisha.
Tikazu gasps, "What's that? Looks dangerous!"
Niyan nods, "Yeah… maybe too dangerous."
The Hype Man yells,
"Prisha has reached the next challenge! Caspian's close behind!"
Zoey's face fills with worry now. "Come on, brother… hurry…" she murmurs.
Inside the cave, Prisha says to her stone,
"It's time."
Her Teal Fire Stonewave Armour activates — a glowing armor wrapping around her body.
(Note: Every Stone has its own unique Stoneweave Armour.
It allows the holder to fully channel their Stone's powers and provides a protective shield.
Normal weapons cannot damage it unless powered by magic or fire energy.)
As Prisha's armor activates, the hawk lifts its head, then dives down, forming a giant yellow fireball and launching waves of fire toward her.
Prisha smirks faintly and blocks them using her Teal Fire waves — but the attacks keep coming.
Sweat trickles down her face.
"Ugh… I can't keep blocking forever. I need to end this," she mutters.
"Maybe… I'll have to take a risk."
Prisha rushes straight toward the fireball, creates a Teal Fire shield, and counters with a massive blast.
The explosion shakes the entire cave — both attacks cancel each other out.
Breathing heavily, she wipes her sweat.
Meanwhile, the same hawk appears before Caspian.
He commands, "Come forth!" — and his Green Fire Stonewave Armour activates.
The Hype Man announces,
"Caspian has reached the next challenge! Let's see if he can surpass Prisha this time!"
The hawk shoots fireballs — Caspian counters with Green Fire Flames, causing huge explosions.
The hawk grows furious and sends a blazing fire stream.
Caspian blocks it with a green flame shield but grows tired.
The hawk then creates spinning yellow fire stars in the air.
Caspian frowns, "Enough!" and prepares to fight back.
On Prisha's side, the hawk now launches chains of fire at her.
She thinks quickly — she can only use Salvo Attacks.
"There's only one way out of this," she says.
The Hype Man pumps up the crowd,
"Both competitors are performing brilliantly! Who do you think will win this?!"
The audience holds their breath — tension fills the arena.
Prisha uses the force of her fire aura to make the chains collide and destroy each other.
Then she says, "I can't drag this on. Time to finish it."
She unleashes a rain of teal fire upon the hawk, followed by a direct Flame Strike.
The hawk can't block both at once — both attacks hit, and it collapses.
Prisha takes advantage and rushes forward.
The Hype Man shouts with excitement,
"Prisha clears the challenge! Victory seems to be smiling her way, while Caspian is still battling!"
Tikazu cheers, "Woo-hoo!"
Niyan says, "Calm down, Tikazu," then grins at Zoey,
"Looks like someone's going to be apologizing soon, hahaha!"
Zoey growls, "Hmph! The competition isn't over yet!"
Then whispers to herself, "Come on, brother, don't lose…"
Inside the cave, Caspian faces the fire stars — destroys them all with blazing fireballs.
Panting, he mutters, "I have to finish this now."
He creates a Green Fire Tornado and launches it toward the hawk before it can attack again — the hawk gets caught off guard.
By the time it recovers, Caspian is already gone.
Zoey jumps in excitement, laughing,
"Too much confidence can hurt sometimes!"
Niyan and Tikazu ignore her, focused on the screen, which annoys her even more.
The Hype Man announces,
"Caspian has cleared the challenge too!
This competition just got even more thrilling!"
Now everyone's eyes are locked on the screen — silence fills the arena.
Prisha and Caspian keep moving forward on their respective paths…
toward the next mysterious trial.
Episode 2 – Unwanted Change
Characters: Tikazu, Prisha, Caspian, Niyan, Zoi, Hype Man, Audience, Code White, Code Blue, Code Black
After escaping from the falcon's attack, Prisha finally reaches her destination — the place she had been waiting for. Her face shines with victory and determination. The object she longed for is right before her eyes: the Yellow Fire Stone — the very key to winning the competition.
It floats above a royal pedestal, glowing brilliantly with waves of golden light around it.
Tikazu and Niyan are filled with joy at the sight, while Zoi's face drops in disappointment.
Hype Man announces, "Looks like Prisha's victory is certain! But... I can't help feeling bad for Caspian."
Just as Prisha steps forward to claim the stone, a tired, strained voice echoes through the cavern—
"Stop… Aaahhh… I won't let you take it. Huhh… This belongs to me!"
It's none other than Caspian himself.
Seeing her brother arrive just in time, Zoi's sad expression brightens into a smile. But Tikazu and Niyan are visibly upset, and Prisha's fans fall silent in disappointment.
Meanwhile, Caspian's supporters erupt into cheers:
"Caspian! That stone is yours!"
"Caspian, you're the one who deserves it!"
Prisha's fans shout back fiercely:
"Prisha, finish him off!"
"Show him who's the real fire wielder here!"
Hype Man exclaims, "Unbelievable! Caspian has made it! What will happen now? Who will claim the Fire Stone? Will they battle for it? This could get dangerous!"
Inside the cavern, hearing Caspian's voice, Prisha halts and turns around with a cold smirk.
"Claim, huh? Hmph…"
"The right belongs to the one who wins."
Now Prisha and Caspian stand face-to-face, their eyes burning with determination.
Prisha strikes first — launching a Teal Fire Flame straight toward Caspian.
Caspian steps forward, shouting:
"Victory belongs to the stronger one!"
He conjures a star-shaped shield with his Green Fire Stone and blocks the attack with a roar:
"Aaaaah!"
Tikazu sighs in worry. "The battle has begun… What's going to happen now?"
Niyan reassures him, "Don't worry, my friend. These things happen. Have faith — everything will be fine."
Zoi speaks with concern, "Anything can happen now. I just hope it ends well."
The crowd is on fire — fans from both sides scream for their champions.
Hype Man shouts, "The battle for the Yellow Fire Stone has officially begun! Only their skill and willpower will decide the winner!"
After a while, Prisha's flame fades out. Caspian lowers his shield.
Breathing heavily, Caspian says, "Let's see who's really strong now!"
He forms four fireballs from his Green Fire Stone and launches them all at once toward Prisha.
Prisha exhales deeply and replies coldly,
"Big words don't make you powerful."
She conjures her own Teal Fire Ball, which splits into four blazing waves that collide with Caspian's attack — creating a thunderous explosion. A fifth wave emerges, holding back Caspian's flames until the first four waves destroy his fireballs completely. The cave shakes as the fiery blasts vanish into smoke.
Caspian grits his teeth in anger.
"Fine then! Let's see who's really strong! Yahhhhhh!"
He channels his energy, summoning the Sky Green Fire Flame, and hurls it straight at Prisha.
Prisha's eyes widen in surprise.
"Oh, so the loudmouth does know how to strike!"
She quickly forms a circular teal barrier, trying to block the incoming attack. But the impact is overwhelming — she kneels under the pressure, her body trembling and wounded.
Caspian laughs proudly.
"You should just admit defeat now. You can't beat me! Hahaha!"
Prisha rises slowly, flashes of her memories running through her mind — her promise to her mother to win this competition, her last chance to prove herself.
In a chilling tone, she says,
"Enough, loudmouth… Let's end this."
Lightning-fast, she rushes forward, striking Caspian in the abdomen with a Teal Fire Wave that sends him flying backward.
She then activates her Teal Fire Stone's special ability, releasing a thick mist all around. Hidden within the fog, she seizes the Yellow Fire Stone. As she grasps it, the entire cave vanishes.
When the mist clears, Prisha stands tall on a glowing teal circle created by her stone, both arms stretched wide — the Yellow Fire Stone gleaming in her right hand. The symbol of victory.
Hype Man announces the results:
"Everyone! What a breathtaking competition! Caspian's final strike nearly secured his win, but Prisha's courage and cunning earned her the ultimate victory in the Stonecrest Ridge Final! Prisha is awarded the SCR Medal, a 100,000 Check, and qualifies for the Stonecrest Foothills Championship!
Caspian, too, deserves respect — he gave Prisha a fierce challenge and made her victory almost impossible!"
Caspian's fans chant his name loudly, while Prisha's supporters cheer and clap, filling the stadium with energy and joy.
Caspian, wounded, lies on the ground as his sister Zoi rushes toward him. His fans watch in silence, their faces heavy with disappointment.
Meanwhile, Tikazu exclaims happily, "Wow! My sister totally nailed it! She crushed Caspian!"
Niyan joins in with a grin, "I always knew it! There's no one better than Prisha! Woo-hoo!"
Zoi, however, stands quietly, eyes fixed on her injured brother.
Seeing her sadness, Niyan walks over kindly. "Hey Zoi, I take back our bet. Your brother's hurt — go to him, he needs you. I'm sorry he got injured, but I have to say, he's an incredible Stone Holder." He smiles gently.
Tikazu adds, "Yeah, honestly, I was scared for a second. That sky attack was no joke. Your brother's really powerful."
Hearing their words, tears fill Zoi's eyes. "I'm sorry… I misunderstood you both."
Niyan sighs, muttering to himself, "Ugh, girls and their drama — always overreacting." Then aloud he says, "Yeah, yeah, we forgive you. Now go, your brother needs you." (He pats her head gently.)
Zoi blushes a little. "You're… you're really kind."
Niyan smirks, "I'm what?"
Zoi smiles sweetly, "You're a good person," and walks away to her brother.
Watching this, Tikazu nudges Niyan and winks. "Still got that charm with the ladies, huh?"
Niyan scratches his head, chuckling, "Maybe… But hey, she's cute. Bro, I think you're right — I might be falling for her!"
Tikazu bursts out laughing, and Niyan joins in.
Zoi hugs Caspian, whispering, "It's okay, brother. Try again next time."
Caspian replies, "I'm sorry, Zoi. I couldn't fulfill your dream. But I promise — next year, no one will stand against me."
The two leave, and as they walk away, Zoi turns back and waves at Niyan. He waves back with a small smile.
A little later, Prisha, Tikazu, and Niyan walk out of the stadium. The SCR Medal gleams on Prisha's outfit, and a check for 100,000 rests in her pocket.
As they walk, Prisha seems lost in thought — replaying Caspian's final attack in her mind.
Tikazu notices. "What's wrong, Prisha? You look deep in thought."
Niyan adds, "Yeah, you've been quiet ever since we left. What's on your mind?"
Prisha sighs softly. "Nothing… I was just thinking — if Caspian hadn't stopped to laugh at me, and attacked again instead… maybe I would've lost."
Tikazu nods. "Maybe. I was scared too when he used that Sky Flame. I really thought you were done for."
Niyan agrees. "Even I froze for a second. That attack was no joke."
Prisha smiles faintly. "Yeah… but thanks to his arrogance, I got my chance to win."
Trying to lighten the mood, Niyan grins, "Anyway, forget all that! What matters is — Prisha's the best Stone Holder ever!"
Tikazu teases, "Only in your dreams!"
(All three burst into laughter.)
But suddenly — BOOM!
A Yellow Fireball explodes in front of them, blocking their path. They leap back in shock, eyes wide, as two mysterious figures step out from the smoke
The Unexpected Clash
Suddenly, a blast of Yellow Fire Ball explodes right in front of Tikazu, Prisha, and Niyan, blocking their way.
All three are shocked by the sudden attack and quickly step back.
As they look ahead, they see two men walking toward them.
Niyan angrily shouts,
"What the hell was that? How dare you attack us like that?"
Tikazu tries to calm things down and asks,
"Who are you guys? And what do you want from us?"
One of the men smirks and says,
"You're barely as big as a seed, kid. Let the grown-ups talk."
He steps forward and adds,
"Prisha, SCR Competition Winner, and a remarkable Stone Holder — we need you. You'll have to come with us."
Prisha, calm but sharp-tongued, replies,
"Who the hell are you to tell me where to go? I'm not your slave."
The second man laughs and says,
"You may not be our slave, but you're definitely our favorite Stone Holder… sweet girl."
Both of them laugh mockingly.
"Hahaha…"
Niyan and Tikazu's anger reaches its peak. But Prisha stays composed and activates her Teal Fire Stonewave Armour, realizing that a fight is now unavoidable.
Niyan growls,
"You'd better shut your mouth before you regret it."
Tikazu, still trying to avoid conflict, says,
"Just move aside peacefully and let us go."
The first man sneers,
"And if we don't? What will you do, huh?"
Hearing his tone, Prisha loses her patience.
"Some people don't deserve polite talk… I guess I'll have to explain things in a language you'll actually understand."
Then she turns to her brothers and says firmly,
"You two, stand behind me. And don't move."
The man smirks again,
"We don't want to hurt you, Prisha. If you come with us nicely, we'll treat you nicely too."
Prisha's patience finally breaks.
"To hell with your kindness! Leave now while you still can, or you'll regret it!"
Both men laugh again.
"Hahahaha…"
One of them says,
"If you're so eager to fight, let's give you what you want."
Then both activate their armors —
one opens his Yellow Fire Stoneweave Armour,
the other his Cirrus Wind Stoneweave Armour.
The Wind Stone user grins darkly,
"Breaking the pride of Champions is the most satisfying thing ever."
The Yellow Fire user creates countless blazing bullets and fires them toward Prisha,
while the Wind Stone user launches slicing wind blades.
"Let's see how long your pride lasts," the Yellow Fire user mocks.
Prisha stays calm, forms a shield with her Teal Fire Stone, and blocks the wind blades easily.
But the Yellow Fire Stone's power is greater — it breaks through the shield.
The attacker smirks,
"This is beyond your limits."
Prisha immediately forms another shield and deflects the fire bullets successfully.
Then she counterattacks — summoning two blazing fireballs and hurling them at both men.
The Wind Stone user neutralizes them with a burst of air pressure, creating a massive explosion.
The Yellow Fire user taunts,
"Enough of this, girl!"
He conjures dozens of fiery daggers and launches them toward her.
Tikazu and Niyan shout,
"Prisha! Be careful!"
Prisha creates a massive Teal Fire Sphere that absorbs all the daggers — then vanishes.
The Wind Stone user sneers,
"Try handling this!"
He sends a violent gust of cutting wind toward her.
Prisha counters,
"Why are you wasting your time? I'm not your easy target!"
Her Teal Fire Stone flares up as she punches through the wind wave, dissipating it completely.
Niyan cheers,
"That's awesome!"
Tikazu shouts,
"Don't let them go, Prisha!"
But after hours of fighting since morning, Prisha's strength begins to fade.
It's almost evening. She drops to her knees, breathing heavily.
Niyan and Tikazu, tears in their eyes, feel helpless — pained that they can't help her.
Prisha whispers to herself,
"Can I still fight? …No, I can't give up now. I won't let them hurt my brothers because of me!"
The Yellow Fire Stone man grins,
"Looks like it's time you came with us."
Prisha groans but yells,
"Not yet!"
She uses her Stone's Special Ability, creating a thick smoke to escape.
But the Wind Stone user clears it instantly with his wind ability — she's trapped again.
Tikazu asks worriedly,
"What now, Prisha?"
She reassures them,
"Don't panic. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
The Wind Stone user says coldly,
"We don't want to hurt them. We only need you."
Niyan replies,
"We believe in you, Prisha!"
Prisha gently pats their heads,
"Don't say anything now. Just stay quiet."
But then the Wind Stone user smirks,
"We already know about your Special Ability, Prisha. We're prepared for it. You have no escape. Come quietly."
Prisha snaps,
"Go to hell!"
Her eyes glow with Teal Fire, and her armor's flames roar wildly.
She rises into the air and launches a storm of fiery rings at them.
The men seem thrilled.
"Fantastic! You're even stronger than I expected," says the Yellow Fire user.
He burns away the fire rings and mocks,
"Calm down, girl. Anger isn't good for your health."
Prisha creates another, much larger Teal Fire Ring, powering it up continuously and hurling it toward them.
The ground trembles — dust fills the air, trees are ripped from the ground.
"You're stubborn," the Fire user growls.
The Wind Stone user tries to stop it but fails.
The Fire Stone user pours all his energy into countering it, but the ring slices through his shoulder and explodes, leaving a massive crater.
He yells,
"Enough of this childish game! It ends now!"
Prisha smirks,
"Oh, the game's just getting started."
The Fire Stone user unleashes his Special Ability, drawing energy shards directly from the sun and firing them at her.
Prisha activates her Equilibrio Attack, punching through the solar shards one by one, deflecting the last three with her Equilibrio Kick — sending them flying back at him.
Caught off guard, he's struck and thrown backward, severely injured.
But Prisha also takes some damage — the sun's energy burns her slightly.
Then — clap clap clap — the sound of applause echoes behind them.
A tall, confident man with a commanding presence appears.
He scolds the Wind Stone user,
"You don't know how to treat warriors with respect. They should be invited with honor, not forced with battle."
He turns to Prisha and says,
"I apologize on their behalf. They shouldn't have troubled you. We simply wish to take you with us. Our boss wants to assemble a team of the world's finest Stone Holders. Surely now you see no reason to refuse?"
Prisha's eyes blaze again.
"Huh… I already said it once, and I'll say it again — I'm not going anywhere with anyone. I don't want to be part of your plan."
The man warns,
"Don't test my patience, Prisha. Come peacefully, or else—"
Prisha cuts him off furiously,
"Or else what? You'll end up like those two lying there! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
The man frowns and activates his Tree Stonewave Armour.
"Very well. Let's finish this."
He thinks to himself,
"If I attack head-on, she'll block it. I'll strike from behind."
He summons tree branches from the ground that wrap around Prisha, trapping her body completely so she can't use her powers.
The injured Yellow Fire Stone user laughs,
"Got her! She was jumping around too much."
Prisha struggles and shouts,
"Coward! You don't have the guts to face me head-on, so you attack from behind?"
The Tree Stone user smirks,
"Told you not to compare me to them — but you didn't listen."
Tikazu and Niyan panic, seeing Prisha captured.
The Wind Stone user mocks,
"We didn't catch you to let you go, sweetheart. You're coming with us now. Let's see how long that fiery attitude lasts."
Prisha screams,
"Shut your filthy mouth, dog — or I'll rip your tongue out!"
As the three men begin dragging her away, Tikazu and Niyan rush forward to stop them.
Tikazu shouts,
"I won't let you take my sister!"
Niyan adds,
"Let her go — right now!"
Prisha yells,
"Don't worry about me! I'll break free! Go home!"
Tikazu refuses,
"No! We're going home together! What will I tell Mom otherwise?"
At that moment, the Tree Stone user slams his foot on the ground —
a giant tree erupts between them.
Niyan is thrown into a tree and collapses, while Tikazu is knocked into the river, hitting his head on a rock and losing consciousness as he's swept toward a waterfall.
Prisha screams in horror,
"No! You monsters! What have you done to my brothers?! Let me go! Let me see them!"
The three men laugh cruelly.
The Tree Stone user says,
"Forget your family now, Prisha. Hahaha…"
They drag her away as she keeps struggling — but it's no use.
Niyan lies unconscious near a tree, and Tikazu disappears beneath the waterfall's mist.
Episode 3 – A New Morning
Characters: Tikazu and Alessio
Tikazu is drifting unconscious in the water. As he floats, he falls from a waterfall into a canal and sinks deep below. The river water becomes completely still.
After a few moments, the calm water starts to ripple. Suddenly, Tikazu emerges from the river wearing a glowing ultraviolet-colored magical armor. He reaches the riverbank. Nearby, a young man, around 20 years old, is walking by — dressed in a white coat and formal clothes.
A few hours later…
(Tikazu is lying on a table. His eyes slowly open. He quickly sits up and sees the same young man standing nearby, as if he was waiting for him to wake up.)
The young man smiles and says,
"Oh, hello! Good morning! You've been unconscious for about 15 hours, but don't worry — you're perfectly fine now."
Tikazu, a bit confused yet relieved, replies,
"Thank you… may I know your name?"
The young man smiles again.
"I'm Alessio," he says, laughing softly. "A small-time professor — and this is my lab. You're completely safe here." (He hands Tikazu a cup of tea.)
Tikazu takes the cup and says in a sorrowful voice,
"I'm Tikazu. Thank you for saving me."
Noticing Tikazu's sadness, Alessio asks gently,
"What's wrong, Tikazu? You look really upset. Think of me as your big brother — you can tell me anything."
Tikazu, trying to hide his feelings, replies,
"Thank you for asking, big brother. But I'm fine."
Understanding that Tikazu doesn't want to talk about it, Alessio doesn't press further. After they finish their tea, Alessio says,
"Come on, let's go outside. The fresh air will help you feel better."
Tikazu forces a smile and nods. "Alright, if you say so."
They step outside into Alessio's garden.
As the cool, gentle breeze touches Tikazu's face, he takes a deep breath. Alessio seats him on a cut tree log under a shady tree from where the river's beautiful scenery is visible — butterflies fluttering around colorful flowers along the banks. The peaceful sight calms Tikazu a little.
Alessio says, "See, the air here is so fresh. It'll lighten your heart."
Tikazu looks at him and smiles faintly.
"Yes… it really is nice here. I feel a bit peaceful now."
Though Tikazu tries to act normal, Alessio can read his face — the pain still lingers.
Smiling, Alessio says, "Want to see something fun, Tikazu?"
Tikazu responds, "Something fun? Sure, what is it?"
Alessio grins. "Watch this."
He forms a pink fire in his hand and releases it into the sky. It explodes like fireworks, spreading a wave of peace all around. The energy touches Tikazu's heart, calming him deeply. His sadness fades, replaced by warmth and relief.
Amazed, Tikazu says,
"Wow! This is incredible… this peace… this calm… it feels like all my pain is gone."
Alessio smiles.
"Yes, that's the special ability of the Pink Fire Stone. It has the power to calm the heart and mind."
Tikazu replies with awe,
"Truly amazing… Stones are so incredible!"
Alessio nods. "Yes, Stones are wonderful. But even more amazing is how they're created."
Tikazu suddenly looks down, whispering, "But…" and falls silent. Tears start to form in his eyes again as memories return — of everything that happened to him.
Concerned, Alessio asks, "What is it, Tikazu? But what?"
Tikazu says nothing. Seeing this, Alessio hugs him tightly.
Tikazu breaks down in his arms, crying. After all, he's only 14 years old.
Holding him, Alessio says softly,
"Don't cry, Tikazu. You called me your big brother — tell me what happened."
After some time, Tikazu calms down, wipes his tears, and tells Alessio everything — what he went through, his family, his sister Prisha, his friend, and his fears.
"My mother must be so worried by now… and Prisha — I don't even know what state she's in. And my friend… I don't even know where he is or what happened to him. I have to find my sister and save her. Because I left home with her, and I'll only go back with her."
Then he starts crying again. "Uh… uh…"
Alessio understands his pain — the pain of a child who lost his family and friend.
"I understand, Tikazu," Alessio says quietly. "No one could understand your pain better than me."
Then Alessio also grows silent, holding back tears of his own — as if remembering an old wound. After a long silence, he continues,
"Don't worry. We'll find your sister. I'll help you. Let's go to the PSF — Public Service Force."
Tikazu shakes his head. "No… I'll find her myself. She got caught because of us. That's why I won't go to PSF."
Alessio sighs. "But what about your school? And your home?"
Tikazu answers firmly,
"I don't care about school. I can finish a one-year course in three months if I want. And I'm not going home without my sister."
Alessio, touched by his innocence, hugs him again.
"Alright then. From now on, you're my little brother. I'll do everything I can for you."
Feeling comforted, Tikazu begins to calm down.
That evening, Alessio is reading some books in his lab while Tikazu observes everything curiously.
Then Alessio asks,
"By the way, Tikazu… how did you reach the riverbank? You fell from a huge waterfall — you should've drowned. Yet, when I found you, you didn't even have a single scratch."
Tikazu looks puzzled.
"I… I don't know. I have no idea what happened."
Alessio realizes Tikazu is telling the truth and lets it go.
"Oh well, never mind. But listen — if you want to find your sister and save her, you'll need to become a better Stone Holder. And before that, you must first understand what Stones are and how they're created."
Tikazu nods. "Hmm, alright."
Alessio takes Tikazu to a projector and says,
"I've created a video explaining how Stones are formed. Watch carefully."
He switches on the projector.
"This one shows the creation of my Pink Fire Stone. Look — here, the fire begins to burn. Now, as the fire grows stronger and hotter, the atmospheric pressure increases."
"As pressure builds, energy starts releasing — and when that energy gathers enough intensity, it begins to form into a Stone. Look closely — see how the energy is collecting and solidifying? Now, it takes just a few minutes for that energy to take the form of a real Stone."
On the screen, the pink flames grow, condensing energy that slowly shapes into a glowing stone. It hovers for a moment, then sinks into the ground, leaving behind a radiant pink glow.
Tikazu's eyes sparkle.
"Wow! You were right — the creation of Stones is truly amazing. They're not just powerful but also a beautiful creation of this world."
Alessio laughs. "Haha! You're really captivated by them already. Everyone feels this way when they see a Stone's creation for the first time."
Tikazu nods eagerly.
"Yup! Stones are incredible — and with this kind of power, I won't spare those who hurt my sister and my friend."
Now Tikazu is no longer broken — he's determined. His sorrow is replaced by burning resolve.
Alessio supports him, saying,
"Exactly. We won't let them get away. Come on, I'll show you some examples of Stone powers — so you can understand them better."
They go outside again. Alessio points to a wooden stick lying nearby.
"Tikazu, pick up that stick."
Tikazu silently walks over and picks it up.
"Now stay still and watch carefully," Alessio instructs.
Tikazu nods.
"Alright — watch this!" Alessio creates a Pink Fire blast and hurls it at Tikazu. Startled, Tikazu freezes but doesn't move. The fire hits — yet only burns the stick, leaving Tikazu unharmed.
Shocked, Tikazu asks,
"Whoa! How did that happen? The stick burned, but I didn't even feel the fire!"
Smiling, Alessio explains,
"That's what I wanted to show you. If we learn to use Stones properly, we can control them — making them act exactly as we wish, without harming anything else."
Tikazu asks,
"But the fire could've burned my hand too, right? I was holding the stick."
Alessio replies,
"True, but our consciousness and the Stone's consciousness are connected. That's why the Stone responds to our intent."
Tikazu nods thoughtfully.
"That's amazing! Stones are truly nature's miracles."
Seeing Tikazu's excitement, Alessio grins. "Want to see something even more powerful?"
Tikazu, filled with curiosity, says, "Absolutely!"
Alessio hesitates briefly, then creates another Pink Fire Ball — this one far stronger — and hurls it toward Tikazu.
The blast tears through the air, shaking the ground. Tikazu panics and raises his hands to protect himself, shutting his eyes tightly. Suddenly, an ultraviolet shield appears around him, blocking the fire completely. Tikazu is unharmed. Alessio smiles proudly.
Tikazu opens his eyes, amazed. "What… what just happened? Why didn't it hurt me?"
Alessio answers,
"Because the Stone inside you protected you."
Tikazu gasps. "Stone? But… I don't have any Stone!"
Alessio smirks. "Is that so? Then this time, don't close your eyes. I'll attack with even greater power — one that could seriously injure or even kill you."
Frightened, Tikazu hesitates but agrees. "O-okay… I'll try."
Alessio launches a stronger blast. Tikazu stands his ground, eyes open — and once again, the ultraviolet armor appears, shielding him. The fireball crashes into the barrier, leaving a crater in the ground, but Tikazu remains unscathed.
Overjoyed yet confused, Tikazu exclaims,
"This is unbelievable! But… I didn't even have a Stone — how is this possible?"
Alessio explains,
"You know, this same Stone saved you from drowning earlier."
Tikazu asks, "What? How can that be? The Stone is inside my body?"
Alessio nods.
"It's possible. Maybe it's been inside you since childhood — and since you've never faced a life-threatening danger before, it never had a reason to awaken. Honestly, I've only ever heard stories of Stones like this."
Tikazu frowns. "But how can it act on its own without my command?"
Alessio replies,
"I told you — Stones have consciousness. Perhaps it's connected to your instinctive fear or survival will. But this… this is something even I've never seen before. I don't even know what kind of Stone it is."
Tikazu, confused, asks,
"Then how will we find out what it is? And how it works?"
Alessio thinks for a moment.
"There's only one person who might know. But to reach him, you'll need another Stone — because meeting him isn't easy. You'll have to pass through many dangers first. But he might also know how to find your sister."
Tikazu clenches his fists with determination.
"Alright then. If that's what it takes, I'll do anything to get her back. Just tell me what I have to do — and how.
Episode 3 and.
*Episode 4: Granite Land Stone
Characters: Tikazu, Alessio**
Scene 1 [12 APR 2024, Morning. Alessio's Lab]
The next morning, Alessio happily looks at the mountains on his computer and says to Tikazu:
"Tikazu, are you ready to go?"
Tikazu stands up and replies, "Yes, I'm ready."
The professor turns off the computer and says, "Alright then, let's go."
Alessio and Tikazu walk and reach the open grounds near the mountains.
Upon reaching, Tikazu asks, "Where are we right now, Professor?"
Alessio explains, "According to my research, somewhere around these mountains, a Granite Land Stone has been formed. If my research is correct, then we will definitely find it somewhere here or nearby."
Tikazu curiously says, "Ohhh, so I have to obtain this stone, right?"
Alessio looks around and says, "Yes, actually I needed this stone… but right now you need it more. I'll manage the rest."
Tikazu shows interest, "Acha… can you tell me more about this stone?"
Alessio replies, "Ummm, the Granite Land Stone is formed from the layer of land beneath the surface. It controls the lower ground. It's a very powerful stone."
Tikazu becomes excited, "Woahhh, really? That sounds so interesting. Can you… tell me a little more?"
"Hmm, of course. Its special ability is that it senses internal ground movements beforehand. It can stop them… or even create them."
Tikazu becomes even more excited.
"Woohoo! That's such a helpful ability! It can stop danger before it reaches people."
Alessio laughs softly, "Haha, but remember Tikazu—unless someone learns how to properly use a stone's power, they cannot use its special abilities."
Tikazu nods, "Ohhh, well… to gain something, you have to work for it."
"Yup. And yes, mastering the stone is only difficult for people with unsettled minds or those who cannot focus."
Tikazu eagerly asks,
"Yessss… do you have any video of its creation? I want to see it! I'm so curious!"
Alessio sighs,
"Ooumm… I understand your excitement, but unfortunately I never recorded its creation. Because witnessing its creation is almost impossible."
Tikazu pouts,
"Oh no, that's really sad. I would have enjoyed watching it."
They continue talking and enter inside one of the mountains.
Suddenly, Alessio says, "Something feels strange. Something is coming from ahead."
Tikazu points ahead, "Yes, look—bees! The whole cave is filled with them. They won't leave us alone!"
"Huhh, don't worry, I'll finish them with my Fire Stone right now." Alessio forms a fireball in his hand.
"Noooo! Don't do that! Killing creatures is not a good thing. Use your stone's special ability to calm them instead, so they won't sting us." Tikazu says with concern.
Alessio smiles, "Ahaha… okay."
He uses the Pink Fire Stone's special ability. All the bees calm down and fly away peacefully.
The queen bee flies close to Tikazu's ear and hums a sweet tune before leaving.
Tikazu enjoys the melody and looks back at her with surprise and delight.
"Haha… see you again! You sing beautifully!"
The queen bee winks at him and leaves.
Alessio smiles,
"Hmmm… you're very kind. I was testing you. I wouldn't have harmed them either."
Tikazu smiles back.
"Hahaha… that queen bee was so cute! That tune really soothed my heart."
"Haha, alright then, let's move ahead."
After walking further, an angry bear appears and charges at them.
Alessio instantly raises a wall of fire to stop it.
Tikazu says nervously, "We should calm it too…"
Alessio responds,
"No, we can't. This stone calms minds and anger—but not hunger. And this bear is clearly hungry. I can't calm its hunger."
Tikazu trembles, "Then what do we do?"
"Huff… don't worry. Leave it to me."
The bear comes very close, and Tikazu starts shaking with fear.
Alessio traps the bear inside a ring of fire using his Pink Fire Stone.
Tikazu's fear subsides. They continue forward.
Soon, Alessio notices a dark orange-brown light glowing ahead and stops.
Tikazu asks, "Why did you stop, Professor?"
Alessio replies happily,
"Look! Dark orange-brown light… that means my research was absolutely correct! There is a Granite Land Stone ahead. See how genius I am? Hunhh!"
Tikazu gasps, "Woaahh, that's great!"
Alessio warns, "Now it's time for you to get the stone. Go—but remember, it's extremely dangerous."
Tikazu nods with courage,
"Huhh, I'm ready to face any challenge."
He walks toward the light, touches it, and enters inside.
Inside, the ground is cracked with lava flowing beneath, dry trees around, and dim light everywhere. Tikazu begins sweating from the heat.
Then a voice echoes,
"Have you come here to obtain the stone?"
Tikazu flinches but answers, "Ahhh… yes, I have come to obtain it."
"Then you must prove that you are worthy. Remember, you may lose your life here."
Tikazu swallows nervously but replies,
"Uhhh… I'm ready to prove myself. No matter what, I'm not leaving without the stone."
"Then continue forward, overcoming the challenges. You will reach your destination."
Tikazu begins moving.
Lava erupts from cracks and chases him.
He dodges, jumps, rolls—barely escaping each time.
Sweating heavily, he mutters,
"How do I survive this…?"
Suddenly he notices something:
Whenever he jumps, the lava calms down.
Realizing this, he spots a dry tree branch, leaps, and hangs on it.
The lava calms but burns his shirt before receding.
He hangs until everything stabilizes.
But immediately, stones begin attacking him.
"Ohhh no! Stones… I need to escape fast!"
A stone hits his hand; he winces but keeps running and dodging.
Finally, he escapes.
Next, small walls of flames and smoke appear.
"Huff… fire and smoke… I'll have to hold my breath, or the smoke will choke me."
He moves forward while avoiding flames, but holding his breath becomes impossible.
The smoke suffocates him.
His leg gets burned while crossing the last fire wall, and he collapses in exhaustion.
Panting painfully, he encourages himself,
"Unhhh… just… a little more… I'll get out of this smoke…"
He crawls and eventually exits the smoky passage.
Breathing deeply, he sits down,
"These… ahh… these challenges are too hard. I don't know… how far I still have to go…"
He stands again after resting.
Soon, a stone giant appears and starts attacking him with rock projectiles.
Tikazu dodges and says,
"Chhh… I must defeat it, or it will kill me!"
A stone hits his chest; he yells in pain.
But he notices a weak spot—an empty patch near the giant's knee.
"Huhh… that's its weakness!"
He picks up a rock and strikes the weak spot.
The giant shatters into pieces.
"Phew… one more problem solved… how much more do I have to endure… ahh…"
Suddenly the ground splits, forming a deep chasm.
Across it, Tikazu sees the Granite Land Stone, glowing majestically on a floating throne.
His eyes sparkle.
"Woaahhh… it's beautiful! I could face the whole world for this!"
He frowns at the chasm,
"But first… how do I cross this? What to do…"
He looks around and smiles,
"Hehe… nothing is impossible for me! There's the solution."
He collects vines from the dry trees, ties them into a rope, and throws a loop around the throne successfully.
Proudly he says,
"Hmph… they say when a person truly desires something, the whole universe helps him achieve it… today I believe it."
He ties the rope to a tree and begins swinging across the chasm.
But just before he reaches the end, the rope snaps from the tree.
He panics,
"W—what?! I'm dead… today's my last day…"
But he manages to grab onto a rock and stops himself from falling.
"Ah… that was close… if not for this rock, I'd be gone…"
He climbs up with difficulty and finally reaches the top.
Sitting in pain, he vows,
"To save my sister, I will fight the whole world if I have to."
With renewed determination, he looks at the stone.
He finally reaches the Granite Land Stone.
As he reaches out to take it, the stone shoots into his body with immense force, knocking him unconscious.
The next moment—
Tikazu wakes up lying in the same mountains from where he entered the illusion.
He sees Alessio smiling at him.
"Owww… looks like you obtained the stone," Alessio says.
Tikazu gives a faint smile,
"Yes… maybe."
"Maybe? What do you mean maybe?" Alessio asks suspiciously.
Tikazu explains quickly,
"Uhhh… I mean, the stone never came into my hand. It just entered my body directly, and I came back out here. The light is also gone now. Why?"
Alessio pulls his cheek playfully,
"Hehe… that's because you have obtained the stone."
"Woahhh… really?? I actually got it?!"
"Ahh ha ha… yes, Tikazu. Come on, let's go home. We'll talk there."
Tikazu suddenly notices,
"But wait—how did my injuries heal?"
"Oh… because you came out of the illusion. Once you're out, the illusion disappears."
"Heinnnn… I didn't know that."
"Yes. Since you're out, the illusion is gone."
Tikazu smiles,
"Honestly, Professor, this adventure was so much fun."
Back at the lab, Tikazu sits for dinner.
Alessio serves him food.
"Well… I made ramen noodles with eggs, and sushi rice with fish. I hope you don't mind these."
Tikazu drools,
"Woohoo! What are you saying—this looks amazing! I love ramen! Give it to me!"
Alessio teases,
"Ahh ha ha… so impatient! Wait, you'll get it."
"Oh! Sorry…"
Alessio laughs,
"Unhmm… don't worry, here you go. I was just joking."
While eating, Tikazu suddenly becomes serious.
"Tell me—what do I have to do now? I've obtained the stone."
Alessio feels sad seeing a child saying such heavy words.
He lowers his head.
"For now, nothing. Eat and rest. We'll talk tomorrow morning."
Tikazu nods and goes to sleep.
Next Morning
Alessio wakes up and sees Tikazu sitting alone on a fallen tree, staring at the river.
He knows very well that no child wakes up this early.
Tikazu clearly didn't sleep because he was remembering his sister, mother, and his friend.
Alessio sits beside him and says gently,
"Are wah… you wake up very early."
Tikazu replies quietly, "Yes… I'm used to waking up early."
But Alessio knows it's a lie.
To comfort him, he says,
"Uhmm… let's begin."
Tikazu looks confused,
"Ummm… begin what?"
"Now you need to bring out the Stoneweave Armour of your stone. Only then will it allow you to use its powers."
Tikazu asks,
"Mmm what? Why can't I use it now? My sister and you use powers without armour, right?"
"Yes… but when a person gets a stone for the first time, they must first bring out the stone's armour. Only then the stone permits them to use its powers."
Tikazu nods,
"Ohhh, I get it. But how do I do it?"
Alessio stands and explains,
"You must focus completely, calm your mind, remember the stone, and call it out. Tell it you need its powers.
If it appears on your very first try, it means your connection with the stone is very strong."
Tikazu says, "Alright, I'm ready."
He stands a little distance away, closes his eyes, calms his mind completely, and focuses deeply.
He speaks softly to his Granite Land Stone:
"Humff… Granite Land Stone, I need your powers. I have to bring my sister back. I have to go home. And I won't go home until I do.
Will you help me?
If yes… then come.
