In the heart of the celestial realm, under the shimmering light of a thousand stars, a new being was brought into existence. The air crackled with ancient magic as the elders gathered, their chants weaving a tapestry of power and destiny. This was no ordinary birth; it was the awakening of a force that would change the fate of both gods and humans alike.

'Is it done?' Kenshiro whispered, his voice trembling with awe.

'Yes,' Hana replied, her eyes fixed on the glowing figure before them. 'The prophecy has been fulfilled. The Celestial Guardian is born.'

The newborn's eyes fluttered open, revealing a depth of wisdom and power that belied their age. Kenshiro and Hana exchanged glances, knowing that this child carried the weight of their world's future."

As the celestial light began to fade, the elders stepped back, their solemn faces reflecting the gravity of the moment. 'We must protect Kaizen,' Kenshiro said, his voice firm. 'The dark forces will stop at nothing to destroy him.'

Hana nodded, her expression resolute. 'And we must also guide him. The path ahead is fraught with danger and temptation. He must learn to harness his power and understand the importance of his role.'

The infant, now swaddled in a cloak of stardust, was handed to Hana. She cradled the child gently, feeling the immense responsibility settle upon her shoulders. 'We will do whatever it takes,' she vowed, 'to ensure Kaizen fulfills his destiny.'

With that, the elders dispersed into the night, each carrying a piece of the ancient magic that bound them to this sacred duty. The celestial realm would watch over Kaizen, but it was in the human world that his true journey would begin."

Hana stood before the grand council of gods, her heart pounding with anticipation. The grand hall was illuminated by an ethereal glow, and the air was thick with the presence of divine power. The gods, seated on their thrones, regarded her with a mixture of curiosity and solemnity.

"Honorable gods," Hana began, her voice steady, "I come before you with a request. The time has come for Kaizen and a few other celestial children to descend to the human world. They must protect it from the mythical beings that threaten its existence."

Murmurs rippled through the council, but Hana pressed on. "Kaizen possesses great potential, but he needs to understand the world he is destined to protect. By living among humans, he and the others can learn from them, grow stronger, and forge bonds that will aid them in their mission."

The head of the council, a wise and ancient deity named Aelion, leaned forward. "Hana, your request is not without merit. However, there are rules that Kaizen and the others must abide by. The balance between our realms is delicate, and any misstep could have dire consequences."

Hana nodded, her gaze unwavering. "I understand, Lord Aelion. What are these rules?"

Aelion’s voice resonated through the hall. "First, they must not reveal their true nature to humans. The knowledge of celestial beings among them could cause chaos and fear. Second, they must not interfere with human free will. Their guidance should be subtle, allowing humans to make their own choices. Third, any misuse of their powers for personal gain or to alter the course of human history is strictly forbidden. Lastly, two celestials must not fall in love. Such a union would disrupt the balance of the world and could lead to catastrophic consequences."

Hana absorbed the gravity of these conditions. "I will ensure Kaizen and the others understand and adhere to these rules. Their mission is to protect, not to dominate."

Aelion nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Very well, Hana. We grant your request. May Kaizen and the celestial children find wisdom and strength in their journey. The fate of both realms rests in their hands."

With a deep bow, Hana expressed her gratitude. As she left the grand hall, her mind was already racing with plans. Kaizen's journey was about to begin, and she would do everything in her power to prepare him for the challenges ahead.

As Hana stood before the portal, she looked at the celestial children one last time. Their innocent faces were filled with curiosity, unaware of the divine power coursing through their veins. With a heavy heart, she whispered a silent farewell.

One by one, she sent them through the portal, each child destined to live with a human family, completely oblivious to their true nature and the immense power they held. Kaizen was the last to go. Hana knelt down, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Remember, you are special, even if you don't know it yet," she said softly.

Kaizen stepped through the portal, disappearing into the human world. Hana watched as the portal closed, sealing their fates. The celestial children were now scattered across the earth, their destinies intertwined with the humans they would come to know as family.

Hana turned away, her heart heavy with the burden of secrecy. The children would have to discover their powers and their purpose on their own. The prologue had ended, and a new, uncertain journey had begun..
