With Eira's guidance, HighTide found the strength to resist Malyster's control. Together, they spoke the words of liberation, and the binding spell of Scat was broken. HighTide, now free, towered over Malyster, its tidal powers raging against the sorcerer.

As Scat, HighTide was tasked with terrorizing the coastal villages, summoning tidal waves to destroy homes and crops, and spreading despair among the people. But HighTide's heart, deep within its oceanic soul, still yearned for freedom. It longed to break free from Malyster's control and return to its natural state, where it could roam the seas without a master's command.

The people, aware of HighTide's true nature, began to whisper tales of a hero who could free the enslaved entity. They spoke of a prophecy, one that foretold the coming of a brave warrior, armed with the knowledge of the ancient spells and the courage to face Malyster's darkness.
