The Crow Gurdian

Thump! Guess who just crash-landed like a rock star? Zinlar, that's who! He bulldozes through the Nexus like it's Black Friday and he's after the last TV. The ground's got a new makeover now—a big ol' Zinlar-shaped hole.

Up he jumps, eyes blazing like he's got the world's spiciest taco on his mind. He's got this dark, broody vibe going on, like a shadow ninja on a secret mission.

But wait, plot twist! Enter the Crow Guardian, the bird brain of wisdom. Picture a crow wearing a cloak so dark, it's like staring into a black hole. It's got this mysterious, spine-tingling aura that would make even a ghost say, "Nope!"

"About time you showed up," Mr. Crow snarks. "But hold up, you're not the Xin I remember. You've got more twists than a pretzel. What happened to your marbles, man?"

Xin's as confused as a cat at a dog show. The Crow's spewing all this deep stuff about the human mind being a wild rollercoaster in the abyss. If you're chill, you get HD vision. If you're not, it's like being stuck in a bad dream, flipping channels every two seconds.

The Crow's giving Xin the stink eye, saying, "Buddy, your brain's doing cartwheels and you don't even know it."

Xin, trying to play it cool, is like, "Chill, birdie. Just hit me with your test and let's roll."

The Crow, ever the philosopher, notes, "You've changed, dude. You're all hot sauce, no chill."

Xin, feeling lost, asks, "Hey, aren't you supposed to be my spirit animal or something?"

Crow scratches its head, "Well, yeah, but your spirit animal's got its own vibe. It's not me-me, you know?"

Xin's brain's doing gymnastics trying to wrap around that.

Then the Crow's like, "Yo, Umbravore, quit playing hide and seek. I know you're in there."

Umbravore pops out with a wicked laugh, "Oh, Xin, you're like a lost puppy. No memory, no mojo, but still pining for love. Adorable."

The Crow, now in detective mode, realizes, "Ah, that's why you're all over the place. Your mind's playing hide-and-seek with itself."

Xin, getting feisty, boasts, "Listen up, I'm a big deal on Earth. I'm shadow magic's MVP, just after Rato. This is my debut in the abyss, and I'm not backing down."

Crow's lost in thought, "This guy's as subtle as a sledgehammer. Guess I'll just point him towards Matoniaco. It's like his personal haunted house."

Xin, feeling bold, demands, "Bring it, birdie! Hit me with your best shot!"

Crow rolls its eyes, opens up a shadowy pit, and with a flick of its wing, sends Xin tumbling into the abyssal Disneyland of Matoniaco.
