As he wandered the world, Ekvidharna saw the Earth wither. Forests collapsed under machines. Glaciers melted into polluted oceans. Skies turned gray, choked with smoke from endless war.
But it was the underwater bomb tests—humanity's ultimate violence—that cracked the Earth's heart. Sea creatures washed ashore lifeless. Volcanoes trembled. Entire ecosystems vanished in a day.
Ekvidharna fell to the ground, his hand pressed to the soil, and whispered, "No more."
He summoned the Great Summit of the Wilds. From every corner of the world, creatures gathered: lions from the savannas, wolves from tundras, dolphins from deep seas, even insects and fungi.
Standing on a hill that overlooked the dying forest, Ekvidharna spoke:
> "Humans have taken more than they can ever give. If they do not stop, we must stop them—for all life, not just ours."
His voice echoed like thunder. The animals roared in agreement. A war—not of hate, but of necessity—was about to begin.
