Silence fills your lungs as tears fill your eyes.
<span class="mu-b">Almost killed us old-timers, to put it up but we did it. Most of the youngin left looking for fame and fortune.</span>
“Why are you showing me this?”
<span class="mu-b">Because a few came back. Burnt out from your metasister’s promised land. Knowing that our future would come from within, not without.</span>
They hand you a wooden talisman carved with a human figure.
<span class="mu-b">But they came back with ideas. The Taya servants call this the Ratu Adil. The Monarch of Justice. A hero blessed by the Loa to rule the Island as a utopia.</span>
“And you think that’s... Me?”
<span class="mu-b">You were lost at sea. The real of the Loa and source of all life. Then you return from the dead with white stones that work miracles? Do you think you’re not? Listen, boy. I know your family. Your mothers birthed it right here. They kept the Ahi from tearing ourselves apart because they knew we were meant for something greater, not the politics and money-grubbing we fell into.</span>
They turn to the statue.
<span class="mu-b"> I see you and I see her dream fulfilled. And I’m not the only one. Countless little villages across the inland. Untouched by the pigshit and powerbrokers. Waiting for their true ruler.</span>
