I growled, but I decided to return to the tribe and left him there. I had to find more solid evidence, so I headed straight to the medicine camp where Mora was treating and keeping Nola company.Mora approached me with a serious expression. Ares, I've found some information that might be useful. I found out the content of this poison is golden herbs, plants cultivated by priests. You were the first to find the roots, remember? with the poison used on Nola."“High Priest! I already guessed! He must be involved!” I shouted.“Don't jump to conclusions, Ares. Your voice is too loud anyway, you might wake up Nola," Mora said in a low voice.I sighed."Then who do you think did it?" I asked in a low voice.“I told you I don't know, Ares. I have to do an investigation first and I suggest you do the same thing instead of accusing random people continuously," said Mora.I listened to Mora's wise words with frustration and disappointment. I realized that I had to control my anger and not jump t

"After all your father is waiting to be rescued," Nola added again."Okay. So how do we get into the forbidden forest if it's sealed?” I asked."Leave it to me. We'll go alone. No one needs to know, including Mora, your uncle, or your beautiful girlfriend. Understand?" asked Nola.I caught a hint of jealousy when Nola called Sarah that way."Me and Sarah weren't related," I said. I don't know why I feel the need to explain."Whatever," replied Nola, as if she didn't care."We leave tomorrow night. Remember, no one can know," she added.The next night, Nola and I gathered at the village gate, ready to begin our journey into the forbidden forest. We try to move quietly so as not to attract anyone's attention."Are you sure we shouldn't tell Mora or my uncle about this plan?" I asked doubtfully.Nola looked at me sharply. "Ares, we are going to the forbidden forest for this dangerous mission. We can't risk their lives or involve more people than necessary. I know this is a difficult deci

The tree gave off a magical aura that felt so strong, showing the existence of an uncontrollable power. Seen between the branches there are several fruits that look sparkling with striking colors. They prove to be signs of strength and life that sleep in serenity, awaiting the moment when that power will be awakened.However, amidst the beauty and splendor of the tree, there was an indescribable feeling that filled the air. The gloomy and tense atmosphere created worry in our hearts. We felt the existence of the giant sleeping demon, so close and so threatening. But we know that our task will not be easy, and we must remain alert and courageous to face it.The two of us stood in the shadow of that eerie tree, feeling the vibrations of an evil power that filled the air. Nola stared at the gigantic demon with eyes full of courage, while I held my spear firmly in my hand, ready to fight back if needed.The tree looks so firm and sturdy, as if it is a guard for the devil sleeping in front

Nola and I were breathing heavily, trying to catch their breath after the intense battle. We held each other, supporting each other in their tiredness. While the demon lay helplessly on the ground, its formidable power had been paralyzed. I just realized that myself and Nola are covered in blood, I don't know how many attacks, but strangely I haven't felt the pain now.In the heavy silence, the tree's subtle voice sounded again, bringing calm after the disastrous battle. "Ares... Nola... you have overcome severe trials with great courage and perseverance. The strength within you is the light that will guide you to what you seek."Nola and I looked at each other with renewed conviction. They realized they had passed their first test, and their journey to rescue Jonathan Jones and the young totem warriors had only just begun.“Tell us about where the young totem warrior and my father, Jonathan Jones, disappeared,” I said, seizing the moment the Tree Spirit thanked him.In a moment of me

“Oh, no…”From her expression, I could already guess something."It's running out?" I guessed.Nola took a deep breath.“We must move quickly before the sun sets. Come on!" I shouted.I groaned as I tried to stand up. The two of us might have made it out of the forbidden forest already, but might die in the forest of The Totem World if we didn't hurry. Our blood will attract many beasts to come closer and we will be seriously injured. Even the technological weapons from the capital were gone. This is really a very annoying situation.With hasty steps, we continued our journey through the forest of The Totem World. Our bodies were heavy and our wounds were excruciating, but our resolve to survive remained strong.We try to remember the paths we took as we seek our way back to our tribe. However, the state of the forest was noticeably more challenging than we remembered. Dense trees and streets that look alike made us even more confused. Every step we take is a gamble, as time is tickin
