Chris Thompson wasn't born into a normal life.
Raised by his grandfather in the dusty outskirts of Kumasi, Chris grew up hearing whispers of ancient powers, secret guardians, and sacred objects hidden across Ghana.
His grandfather, Mr. Benjamin Thompson, was one of the last living Watchers — a secret society of protectors sworn to defend the Heart of the Stars and its key bearers across generations.
At fourteen, Chris's world shattered. A ruthless group, known only as "The Black Crescent," hunted down his grandfather, seeking the key. Chris barely escaped that night, surviving by instincts he didn't even know he had.
From that moment on, he lived on the move — Takoradi, Tamale, sometimes even across the borders into Togo and Burkina Faso — learning to fight, to hide, to read ancient signs hidden in plain sight.
Chris wasn't chosen.
He chose to carry the legacy.
Now twenty-four, hardened by years of survival and loss, he has one mission:
Protect the key bearer. No matter the cost.
Because deep down, Chris believes one thing:
If the Heart of the Stars falls into the wrong hands, the entire world — not just Ghana — will fall into darkness.
And for the first time, standing on that rooftop, seeing Nina holding the ancient key…
Chris dared to hope again.
Maybe — just maybe — there was still a chance to fulfill his grandfather's final wish:
Protect the key. Protect the future.
