Chapter 15: The Eternal Cycle

As Aki continued his journey as the Protector of the world, he knew that one day, he would have to pass the mantle on to the next generation. But he also knew that there was a prophecy that had been foretold, a prophecy that would ensure the legacy of the Protector would continue, unbroken, for all eternity.

It was during this time that Aki discovered he was with child, a son whom he named Akia. He knew the dangers of bringing a child into the world, but he also knew the hope and promise that he would bring. And so, with the love and support of his friends and allies, he welcomed his son into the world.

As Akia grew, he showed great potential, and Aki knew that he was destined to become the next Protector. But he also knew that there was more to the prophecy, a destiny that would change the course of history.

As the years passed, Akia grew into a wise and skilled warrior, his determination and courage rivalling that of his father. He trained relentlessly, learning all that he could about the ways of the Protector.

And as Aki's journey neared its end, he knew that the time had come to fulfill the prophecy. He called upon his allies and friends, and he formally handed the mantle of the Protector to Akia.

Akia accepted the mantle with grace and humility, vowing to uphold the legacy of his father and all those who had come before him. But Aki knew that his journey was far from over, for it was time for him to travel back in time and ensure that the cycle would continue.

As Aki stepped through the portal, he found himself in the past, where he met his mother, Airi. He explained the prophecy to her, and together, they ensured that Akia was brought into the world at the right time, to continue the cycle.

But there was one more step to be taken. Aki had to make sure that Akia, once he became the Protector, would continue the cycle by sending his own child back in time. And so, he sent Akia back in time once again, to raise his own child in a different era, with fake parents who would instill the same values and teachings that Aki had learned from his own parents.

And so, the Eternal Cycle had begun. The legacy of the Protector would continue, unbroken, for all eternity. Akia, now the Protector of the world, set out on his own journey, determined to uphold the values of courage, honor, and sacrifice that his father had instilled in him. And as he traveled, he remembered the teachings of his father, and he knew that he would always be guided by his wisdom and love.

The world would continue to thrive, knowing that the Protector would always be there to safeguard it, and the cycle would continue, ensuring the peace and harmony of the world for all eternity.
