ZION
He woke in a broken world, carrying the soul of another… and the memories of gods long forgotten.

The tribe is scattered. The warriors are dead. But as Zion rises in a new body, ancient spirits stir—and a lost people begin to believe again.

They don’t know who he is.
They don’t know what he carries.
But the gods are watching… and so is the enemy

BATTLE GROUND OF THE Gods

The night air was thick with anticipation as the people of Nouvo Lakay gathered in the great hall. Flames danced on the walls, casting long shadows over faces eager for answers.

Zion stood at the center, calm and steady, ready to face the questions that weighed on every heart.

An elder from the core tribe spoke first, his voice trembling with age and concern.

"Zion, what does it truly mean for us to become a country? How will this change our way of life?"

Zion nodded respectfully. "It means we no longer live as scattered clans or small tribes but as one united people under shared laws and protection. It will bring order, safety, and opportunity. But it also means responsibilities—respect for laws, fairness to all, and unity beyond old divisions."

A leader from one of the allied tribes stepped forward. "Our lands now lie within Nouvo Lakay's borders, but many of us value our independence. How will you treat those who do not wish to submit to this new country?"

Zion's expression grew thoughtful. "We do not seek to force anyone by sword or fear. A country grows strongest when its people choose to belong. We will offer protection, trade, and shared resources, but also respect for your customs and voices in the council."

Another voice, sharper and more skeptical, came from a younger warrior. "What of those who refuse? What if they reject our laws and bring war instead?"

Zion's eyes hardened, but his voice remained calm.

"Those who refuse to live by our laws while within our borders will be given chances to negotiate and join peacefully. But if they choose to wage war, we will defend our people — as one nation, not divided tribes."

Zion raised his hands for silence.

"This is not just my vision, but ours together. Becoming a country means building bridges between all who live here—tribes old and new, allied and independent."

"It is a path with challenges, yes. But also with hope. The world beyond our borders grows darker and more dangerous. Only united can we face it."

As the crowd settled, Zion's voice softened, "Ask your questions, share your fears. Together we will find answers. Together, we will build the future of Nouvo Lakay."
