    Urbaniko Origins: The Light Orb
    Jan 24 2025

    In the lush forests of San Lorenzo, a small Taíno village hides a dangerous secret—a vein of gold discovered deep within the earth. The villagers, led by their compassion and wisdom, vow to keep the treasure hidden from the conquistadores, believing it may one day save them. But betrayal looms.

    María Isabela, a beautiful and kind-hearted mulata, becomes the heart of this story. Caught between two worlds, she gains the love of a young Spanish conquistador, Fernando Alonso de Aguilar, who warns her of a treacherous act that will change everything. Guaribo, a resentful villager, has revealed the gold’s location to the Spanish governor, setting off a chain of events that will lead to the destruction of the village.

    In a tragic battle for survival, María sacrifices everything to protect her people, her daughter, and her love. As she takes her last breath beneath the sacred ceiba tree, a divine light descends, transforming her soul into the legendary Light Sphere—a divine force that roams the forests of San Lorenzo, guiding the innocent, protecting the just, and punishing the wicked.

    This is the origin of the Light Sphere, a tale of love, betrayal, and divine justice.
