Chapter 4: A Legacy Reborn

The Guardian's question hung in the silent air of the room, heavy with the weight of galaxies and the destiny of an ancient war.Will you be ready to fight?

Moises didn't answer immediately. His gaze fell upon his own hands, hands that until a few minutes ago had only known the touch of a pencil on paper. Then he raised his head and looked at the posters that covered his walls. Heroes in colorful armor and flowing capes, symbols of a fictional justice, of a power that existed only in his imagination. All his life, he had secretly dreamed of a moment like this, a calling to something greater, an opportunity to be like them. But reality was infinitely more terrifying and more magnificent than any fantasy.

A deep breath. He met the Guardian's golden gaze, and when he spoke, his voice held no trace of the hesitant boy from minutes before. It was firm, resolute.

"I am ready," said Moises. "I accept."

A glow of approval emanated from the Guardian's ethereal form, a warm light that seemed to fill the room with a feeling of ancient pride.Courage precedes power. Always.

Your training will be in two phases."..." the voice in his mind continued.First, I myself will teach you the basics, the fundamentals of the power that now runs through your veins. Then, when you are ready, you will go to an academy, a place for gifted young people from all over the universe, where you can hone your skills.

Moises' eyes widened, his composure momentarily broken by youthful enthusiasm. "A school for superheroes? Seriously? There will be others... others like us? Other Magic dorados there?"

The Guardian's form flickered, a subtle but perceptible hesitation.The academy welcomes all who dedicate themselves to the cause of light and balance. But, for now, you will be the only one of our Order. The others... the other bearers of Spheres are scattered, fulfilling their own missions, waging their own silent battles.

That's why your nature is so crucial."... continued the Guardian, his voice taking on a new tone of solemnity."You are different, Moises. You are the beginning of something new. By merging with you, the Sphere not only gave you our power; it initiated an evolution. You are the prototype. The first of a new version of Magic Dorado.

"Evolution?" Moises asked, the word sounding strange and heavy in his mouth.

Yes. Your abilities will be those of our Order, but amplified to a level we haven't seen since the earliest days. Your speed, your precision, your strength... these won't be things you have to learn from scratch. They will be innate, a part of you, waiting to be awakened. One day, if you prove your worth and master this potential, you will receive a title never before granted in our long history: that of Worthy Magic Dorado.

The Guardian grew serious, his light dimming slightly, as if a cloud had passed.But this potential comes at a price. The power you possess is immense, but also unstable. It's like having a star born inside you. Your training will not only be difficult; it will be dangerous.

Moises absorbed everything, each word redefining his reality. He wasn't just a recruit to be added to an army. He was a singular hope. The ultimate contingency plan for an entire civilization.

"I understand," he said, his voice calm but full of a new, heavy determination. "If I am our best opportunity, then I will not fail."

The rock sphere, which until then had floated silently beside the Guardian, moved. It glided through the air and stopped inches from Moses' chest, pulsing with a soft golden light that beat in sync with his heart.

Rest in peace, young hero."Its form began to fade," said the Guardian.Tomorrow, when the first ray of sunlight touches your window, your old life ends. And the future of the Magic Dorados begins.
