My name is Minako, and I am an ordinary Ribina. My life, once peaceful and harmonious, has been torn apart by the rise of Envis and his army of Iniqus. I grew up in Evoca Shoal, a serene and beautiful part of Isis Cove where my kind thrived. The waters were clear, the air was filled with the songs of my fellow Ribinas, and the land was lush and vibrant. But that peace was shattered when Envis emerged, bringing darkness and destruction to our home. I remember the first time I saw an Iniqu. I was young, grazing near the graveyard, when I felt a presence that made my fur stand on end. I turned and saw it—a shadowy, menacing figure lurking in the distance. Its eyes glowed with malice, and I could feel its hunger for destruction. I fled, my heart pounding, but the encounter left me with a deep sense of dread. I knew then that our world was changing, and not for the better.

As I grew older, I began to notice strange occurrences around Evoca Shoal. My fellow Ribinas were disappearing, and those that remained were changing, becoming more aggressive and mutated. Their once-gentle eyes now glowed with an unnatural light, and their forms twisted into grotesque shapes. I knew something was terribly wrong, but I didn’t know how to stop it. That’s when I first heard of Envis. He was a name whispered in fear, a being of immense power who sought to control the Ribinas and use us for his own dark purposes. I couldn’t stand by and do nothing. I began to train myself, learning everything I could about the Iniqus and their master. I studied their behaviors, their weaknesses, and their strengths. I knew that if I was going to stand a chance against Envis, I had to be prepared. But no amount of training could have prepared me for what was to come.

The day I decided to confront Envis was the day my life changed forever. I ventured into the graveyard, knowing full well the risks. I had heard rumors of a powerful artifact called the Vortex, a source of Envis’s power. I knew that if I could find it, I might be able to stop him. But I was walking into a trap. Envis captured me, and I found myself shackled in a dark cell, surrounded by Iniqus. He taunted me, telling me that it was too late to save my kind. He spoke of the Vortex and its power, how it could control the very essence of beings like me. I felt a sense of dread wash over me, but I refused to give up hope. When Envis finally released me, I knew I had to act quickly. I followed him, witnessing the horrifying transformation of a Ribina into an Iniqu. It was a sight that would haunt me forever. The Ribina’s eyes glowed red as it floated into the air, its body twisting and contorting until it became one of Envis’s monstrous soldiers. The screams of my kin echoed in my ears, and I felt a surge of anger and sorrow. But amidst the chaos, I saw an opportunity to escape. I ran, desperate to find a way to stop Envis and save my kind.

I found myself in a cave, a place that felt strangely familiar. As I ventured deeper, I discovered Ribinas that were once like me, their forms grotesquely mutated by Envis’s experiments. My heart ached as I saw them, their once-beautiful bodies twisted into monstrous shapes. I found a notebook detailing Envis’s experiments, and my heart sank as I realized the extent of his plans. He was not just content with controlling us—he wanted to transform us into weapons. But I also found hope in the form of a corridor leading to another chamber. What I saw there was beyond anything I could have imagined. A mutated Ribina, more terrifying than any Iniqu, emerged and killed a rabbit with an electromagnetic pulse. I was paralyzed with shock, but I knew I had to get out of there. I retraced my steps, making my way back to the cave’s entrance, and finally escaped. Now, I am more determined than ever to stop Envis. I know the road ahead will be dangerous, but I cannot let fear stop me. My kind is counting on me, and I will do whatever it takes to protect Evoca Shoal and our home in Isis Cove. This is my fight, and I will not back down. I am Minako, a proud Ribina of Evoca Shoal, and I will not let Envis destroy everything I hold dear.
