EPISODE 22: THE GUARDIAN OF THE WINDS

The blue glow around Luiz Fernando pulsed intensely. He had gained the trust of Earth, Fire, and Water. But now, a new challenge was approaching. The wind began to blow stronger, carrying with it the energy of the next Guardian.

Lythar, the Guardian of Water, watched Luiz with a serene expression.

— You feel it, don't you? The call of the Air?

Luiz nodded. He could sense the change around him. The air was not just a passing breeze but an invisible force that enveloped everything. It was light yet powerful. Silent yet overwhelming when enraged.

Rock, the Guardian of Earth, crossed his arms and looked up at the sky.

— The Guardian of the Winds is not easy to find. He is always in motion, always changing direction. To master him, you must understand the flow of the world.

— And where do we find him? — Luiz asked, feeling the electricity in the air.

Before Rock could respond, a powerful gust of wind swirled around them, lifting dust and leaves. The sky darkened for a moment, and then, emerging from the clouds, a swift, almost translucent figure appeared.

— I see the Blue Guardian has finally arrived.

The voice was like a whisper in the wind, yet it carried undeniable authority. Before them stood Zephyr, the Guardian of the Winds. He was agile, his form almost ethereal, as if made of the very air itself. His eyes shimmered with a silvery glow, and his robes billowed as if they never touched the ground.

— You have mastered the other elements, but the wind… Ah, the wind cannot be tamed. It must be understood.

Luiz felt the weight of Zephyr's words. Unlike the earth, which was solid, or fire, which burned intensely, the wind was unpredictable. It could change at any moment, without warning.

Zephyr raised his hand, and in an instant, Luiz was lifted into the air by a powerful gust. He tried to react, but he couldn't control his body. The wind carried him where it pleased, spinning, pushing, and tossing him in unexpected directions.

— If you try to fight the wind, you will be defeated. If you try to hold it, it will slip away. What will you do now, Blue Guardian?

Luiz closed his eyes, feeling the wind around him. He took a deep breath and, instead of resisting, he surrendered to the flow. His body relaxed, and he let the wind carry him, sensing each current as if they were part of him.

Then, suddenly, he realized something. The wind was not chaotic. It had patterns, rhythms, a natural movement. He didn't need to control the wind—he only needed to become part of it.

When Luiz opened his eyes, he was floating—not being dragged. He had connected with the wind, moving with it in perfect harmony.

Zephyr smiled.

— Now you understand. The wind is freedom, but also connection. You have passed the test.

The Guardian of the Winds spread his arms, and a strong gust of air surrounded Luiz, absorbing into his body. He felt the power of the wind merge with the other elements within him. Now, he was Earth, Fire, Water, and Air.

Zephyr landed before him and nodded.

— The final seal has been broken. Your true power is near.

Luiz felt the energy pulsating within him like never before. His body glowed with the fusion of the four elements, and within his chest, the Core of the Universe vibrated with an unparalleled intensity.

But there was something more. Something beyond the Guardians. A power that still lay dormant.

Zephyr looked at him seriously.

— You think your mission ends here, but it is only beginning. Now that you wield the four elements, you must face the true challenge: awakening the primordial power within you.

Lythar, Rock, and Ranke stepped forward, forming a circle around Luiz.

— The power of the Guardians is now yours. But to face the darkness, you will need to awaken something even greater…

And so, Luiz realized that his journey did not end here. The true challenge was yet to come.
