Pāhonoa te oro

[Narrator]In the beginning, there was silence. Then came the Starlight, and with it, the First Breath that shaped all worlds. For a thousand years, we flourished. We built cities that touched the clouds. We wove magic into stone and starlight into our very souls. We were **unbreakable**. But hubris is the oldest poison. We forgot the ancient warnings. We forgot that power demands balance. And so the darkness rose—not from without, but from within. From the very magic we had trusted.
