The Stone Maiden They Betrayed

The maiden Ione, who carries the bloodline of the Goddess Gaia, awakens and becomes bonded to the ley lines of Hollow's End. The townsfolk, driven by greed, plunder resources and blame all ecological collapses on her. After being exploited repeatedly, Ione leaves for Brightwater Town with her mother and the guardian. When the devastated townsfolk come to repent, she chooses to return, leading everyone to restore the ecosystem through hard work, and finally brings the dilapidated town back to life, achieving the mutual redemption between humanity and nature.
