In one corner of the universe, there was a green mountain pulsing with life, spreading vitality and growth to everything around it.
A girl emerged from it, and with each step, shadows quietly vanished as she gazed toward the horizon. It became clear that she was Seraphina.
Seraphina spoke with a voice full of longing:
"I miss my home... my planet, Bitholars."
Memories began to flood her mind.

2,800 years ago...
On a planet called Bitholars.
The inhabitants of this planet were kind, which is why it was called the Planet of Life.
At that time, there were twelve celestial bodies, each embodying an absolute cosmic law, considered legendary figures, likened to great kings, and sought for guidance.
Yet, there was only one star that answered them, called Hina.
This star always answered humans, but it never appeared to them directly; it spoke to them in dreams. If anyone wished for something from the Star of Life, it would come true, even if it seemed impossible.
One day, a man wished upon the Star of Life for strength for his descendants.
At that time, the people of Bitholars were weak, lacking any extraordinary powers.
But after that wish, everything changed.
After a while, the man's wife gave birth to a beautiful girl, with dark blue hair and wheat-colored skin.
When she opened her eyes, moonlight fell upon her, and a bright green star appeared in her eyes, shining before fading away.
When the star disappeared, a green star mark appeared on her right hand and the side of her left neck.
The child did not cry; she was different from other children.
By the age of ten, she faced bullying, yet no one dared approach her. Whenever someone came close, the star on her neck glowed, forming a protective barrier, and nature itself defended her.
She was isolated, never blending with the people, and her unique powers made it impossible for anyone to come near.
By the age of eighteen, she became known as the Daughter of Life, the immortal heroine, and the guardian angel of life.
She was immensely powerful. On one occasion, she faced a massive wave rising above two mountains, yet she split it with her sword.
After cutting it, the droplets of water began to return upward, to the sky, then back to the sea, as if the ocean obeyed her commands.
Once, while fighting a demon from the lower world, she accidentally split an entire mountain.
When she unleashed her full power, she caused the planet Bitholars to split in half.
But she realized her mistake and restored the planet to its original state.
Due to that incident, all the planet's inhabitants died.
The girl felt guilty, even after more than ten years had passed.
She began a journey across the universe in search of strength, fighting, helping, visiting planets and galaxies, aiding in every crisis.
She became known as Seraphina, a pseudonym, for no one had ever called her by her real name before.
She was also given the title Guardian of the Galaxy.
She lived for centuries, reaching the age of 900 without changing her appearance, unaffected by disease or natural death.
During those years, she sought a worthy opponent, until she met someone wielding a sword with the power of twenty infinite galaxies.
But Seraphina defeated him, using only a quarter of her power. She looked at him as one would look at an insect and folded his sword in her hands as if it were a piece of paper.
Her journey continued until she reached the age of 1,000 years, still finding no one worthy of challenging her in the universe.
At the age of 1,200, the Star of Life, Hina, died.
Because of this, Seraphina was chosen as the new star to replace her.
But Hina's death remained an unsolved mystery. Stars are immortal; they do not die, are untouched by disease, and natural death holds no sway over them. Even if broken into billions of pieces, they remain unaffected. So how did she die?
It pointed to only one person, the one that all the stars suspected, yet none acted against. They wished for vengeance, for investigation, but did nothing.

2,800 years later...
In the present.
Zalavoria smiled in a way that was not human and said:
"Are you saying I will come out of it? That's truly wonderful."
A strange figure emerged from the shadows and said:
"You are correct, that is what the book said. You will emerge, and you will succeed... Before the Moon! What a truly remarkable book."
Zalavoria replied:
"It hides so many secrets."
