With the mountain's breath freed, a great sense of peace settled upon Kostas. The elemental harmony he achieved was visible: a gentle, vibrant aura pulsed around him, making the air feel refreshingly crisp. He had successfully completed the cycle of the elements, but he knew the role of a world healer was ongoing. The earth’s problems were rarely final, and his connection now extended far beyond his Greek village.
He spent the next few months traveling wherever the signs led him, from vast, dry deserts where he taught people to find hidden subterranean springs, to polluted coastlines where he helped the waters clear, not by magic, but by inspiring communities to reconnect with the health of their environment. He never stayed long, always moving on, his presence a catalyst for natural recovery.
One late autumn afternoon, an even more powerful vision gripped him. It was a place of vibrant colors and strange, exotic shapes—a tropical rainforest—but it was overlaid with a deep, pulsating scar of red fire. It was a massive, urgent cry for help that surpassed any distress he had felt before. This wasn't a slow depletion or a misplaced seal; it was an act of rapid, catastrophic destruction.
Kostas understood this was his greatest challenge yet—a direct conflict with the forces of chaos and carelessness. He had to cross oceans and continents, drawn by the desperate need of the world's most vital green lung. He realized his quest was evolving from healing natural imbalance to actively protecting life from destructive forces. Looking down at the olive-leaf bracelet Elara had given him, he felt a surge of courage. He was no longer just Kostas; he was the Green Boy of the Elements, and the Amazon was calling.
