Chapter 11 - 1

**Title: Under the Shadow of Zombo**

In the small and enigmatic town of Zombo, lost in the interior, Brenner Souka was born, a child whose arrival into the world was marked by pain and suffering. His mother, upon giving birth to him, sacrificed her life, leaving a deep void in the family. His father, Joaquim Tavares, found himself alone, having to deal with the loss of his wife and the burden of raising two children. Beside Brenner was his older brother, Enzo Tavares, who shared his father's pain and confusion.

From the beginning, Brenner was different. He was born robust, almost giant for a newborn, and his imposing presence seemed to carry a shadow that hung over the family. Joaquim and Enzo, immersed in sadness and mourning, could not help but feel resentful. For them, Brenner was a constant reminder of the tragedy that had befallen them.

As the years passed, Zombo continued to be a setting of mysteries and whispered stories. Brenner grew up in an environment of distrust and fear, but within him, something else was awakening. He possessed abilities that went beyond the ordinary, gifts that, although fascinating, brought an even greater weight to his existence. He was a hero in a world that had no room for heroism, where the supernatural intertwined with everyday horror. Enzo, on the other hand, struggled to find his way. Although he carried the same pain and distrust, there were times when he saw in Brenner not only a brother, but a lost soul like his own. Together, they faced the challenges imposed by a city that seemed alive, breathing in the shadows, always on the lookout. Brenner Souka's story, marked by loss and the extraordinary, is a journey of self-discovery and redemption. Amidst the drama of his own existence, he seeks to reconcile what he is with what could be, facing not only the external horrors, but also the internal demons that threaten to consume him.

In the darkness of Zombo, where the line between the real and the supernatural is blurred, Brenner and Enzo discover that true strength lies not in the powers they possess, but in the love and forgiveness they are able to nurture for each other, while facing the fate that has been laid out for them.
