After Endura guided Solmo through his most challenging physical trials, Solmo felt a surge of resilience and strength. He believed he was ready for whatever came next. However, his journey was far from over.
As Solmo continued to share his wisdom and experiences, he encountered a new and more sinister force: Malice. Malice lurked in the shadows, whispering venomous thoughts and breeding resentment within Solmo’s heart. It sought to turn his strength into hatred, to make him doubt the goodness in others and himself.
The catalyst for Malice's emergence was an unexpected betrayal. Solmo had trusted a close colleague with his latest project, only to find that this colleague had taken his ideas and presented them as their own. The sense of betrayal and injustice festered within Solmo, feeding Malice and allowing it to grow stronger.
Solmo could feel the darkness creeping in, threatening to consume the light he had fought so hard to maintain. He knew he had to confront Malice head-on. Solmo remembered the advice from Sage: acknowledging the presence of negative emotions without letting them control you is the first step in overcoming them.
However, the battle with Malice was just beginning. Solmo found himself increasingly consumed by feelings of anger and hatred. The betrayal had cut deep, and Malice used every opportunity to remind him of the hurt and injustice.
As Solmo struggled with these negative emotions, he knew he needed to find a way to overcome Malice. He resolved to seek out guidance from another positive character on his journey, hoping they could help him find the strength to fight back and reclaim his inner peace.
