Akula gazed out of the plane window as Guanos Island came into view, a blend of lush greenery and rugged coastline. It had been three long years since he had last set foot on his homeland. Three years of wandering, seeking solace from the haunting memories that clung to him like shadows. As the plane descended, he couldn't shake the feeling of dread that welled up inside him.

The island was alive with the buzz of the Amkitha festival, an ancient celebration meant to honour a demon believed to dwell on Devil's Rock. The locals laughed and danced, their faces painted with joy and reverence. Yet, beneath the festive veneer, Akula sensed an undercurrent of something darker. The island's myths and legends, once dismissed as mere stories, began to take on a more sinister tone.

In the end, Gianos Island was not just a peaceful cacation; it was a crucible that would test Akula's spirit and resolve. Through the fires of conflict and the echoes of his tragic past, Akula would discover whether he could ever truly be free from the shadows that haunted him.

This is the story of Akula—a man tormented by guilt and grief, thrust into a battle between ancient beliefs and modern realities. It is a tale of survival against insurmountable odds, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. Welcome to "Huanted by the past".
