Intro. prologue
In a world where the ancient gods still walk between the shadows of the jungle and the whispers of the wind, Ek-Balam was born, a child with the mark of the jaguar in the chest and golden eyes like the sun. His mother, Itzel, was a Mayan healer who, after years of prayers and sacrifices, was visited in dreams for a being made of wind and light: the Mono del Este God, sent by the Lord of Alba to deliver a divine spark to the world.
The creature said:
> "Your child is not human, or God, or beast. He is the loop. The one that will jump beyond time to restore balance."
Chapter I: The birth of chaos
EK-Balam grew between cenotes, forgotten codices and the oral wisdom of his grandfather. He was agile like Hanuman, naughty as Wukong, and possessed a strange introspection for his age, such as Xiuhcoatl. His energy was uncontrollable: he could climb impossible trees, raise stones that even five men moved, and talk to animals without learning their tongue.
