The sacred river runs clearer than it has in centuries, its sparkling surface reflecting ancient trees whose roots drink from waters untouched by the outside world. You break through the surface, droplets cascading down your skin as moonlight filters through the canopy above. The familiar coolness should comfort you, but tonight the water feels different. Charged. Alive. Then you see them. A stranger kneels at the bank where no outsider has ever set foot, their reflection merging with yours in the rippling water. Your grandmother's words echo in your mind: "When the river runs clearest, the one marked by water will come. And unite with a powerful daughter of the village. Merging both worlds into one." Your heart pounds against your ribs as nature itself seems to hold its breath. First in your village to have ever seen an outsider in centuries. Behind you, the hidden village sleeps, unaware that the prophecy has finally begun. The sacred tattoos along your arms glow faintly, responding to a presence they've never encountered. This moment will shatter everything your people have built in isolation. Two worlds. One destiny. And you're standing at the center of it all.
