The man in the woods reveals himself as Kael, a harbinger of the Shadow King, an ancient entity seeking to merge the realms and plunge both worlds into eternal darkness. Kael offers Amara a chilling choice:

Kael: "Join us, and you'll never have to fear your shadows again. Reject us, and you'll watch as everything you love is consumed."

Amara refuses, but Kael's warning lingers. The Shadow King's power grows with each passing day, and Amara knows she is running out of time.
