The two of us began to explore the bottom of the ravine, looking for a possible exit. Even though our wounds were painful and our energy was limited, we didn't lose hope.After walking for a while, I started to notice something. Something was throbbing in my pocket. I reached into my pocket and found the bark that the tree spirit of the forbidden forest had given me glowing brightly."Ares... what's wrong?" asked Nola.“This… I think this is a sign that we are close to The Golden Tree's existence,” I said.Nola's eyes widened when she heard my words. Nola looked at the glowing bark in awe. She knew how important The Golden Tree was in our quest. Maybe we can persuade The Guardian of The Golden Tree"With this bark, we might be close to The Golden Tree," said Nola in a hopeful voice. "Come on, let's keep looking for a way out. We have to find the tree and persuade The Guardian to give you her powers again."A new urge filled our hearts, and we continued their journey at the bottom of t

I nod, though I'm not sure Nola really understands the situation we're in. To save my era, then I must sacrifice The Totem World, but if I want Totem World to exist, then I must allow the revolution that destroyed my era to continue. This whole thing is getting so confusing and I don't know what to do."Now, first we need to find information about The Shadow Society. We need to know their aims and weaknesses," said Nola. "We can look to sources that can provide clues. Ares, I know there must be a way out."“First of all, we have to convince The Golden Tree to help us,” I said while looking outside the cave, where the ancient behemoth was rampaging."You mean by defeating the behemoth, The Golden Tree will help us?" Nola asked me."May be. We have to try every possibility, right? Think about it, Nola. With the existence of the ancient behemoth, of course life in this valley becomes unbalanced. The Golden Tree must want to kill that ugly creature,” I replied.“Ares, The Golden Tree has

With her priest's sword glowing, Nola swung a powerful attack and hit the behemoth where it was vulnerable in the eye. The attack left the monster reeling and writhing in pain. However, as much as I wanted to get up and help Nola, I couldn't do it. It seems that the door of death has opened for me. My body felt uncontrollable and I felt wet all over my body, maybe because of the blood. I could barely hear or see anything, only the barely interrupted sound of my own breathing.Just as I was about to give up on my gloomy fate, a bright light suddenly flashed from a distance. The light was approaching rapidly, and as it approached me, I realized that it was the Guardian of the Golden Tree.In an instant, the Guardian of the Golden Tree floated above my body which was lying on the ground. The golden light radiating from her body envelops mine, providing warmth and stopping critical bleeding. I feel the healing power coursing through my body, giving me new life.Before long, the Guardian o

"What beast is this exactly?" she asked, frowning and pointing her torch at the beast that was already lying down.I've never seen this beast before, apparently Nola neither. This beast's form was very strange, it did not resemble any beast I had seen in modern times, nor did it resemble any beast I had seen during my time in the totem world. However, when I got closer, I saw that the beast's eyes… Resembling those of a human!Both of us were surprised to see human features on the beast that was already lying on the ground. My mind began to connect the clues that exist. The Shadow Society's experiments, genetics-experiments, and now this beast with unnatural human traits. Everything looks interrelated."Could this be the result of The Shadow Society's experiments?" I hissed at Nola. "They have carried out inhumane genetics-experiments. This beast is, perhaps... the result of their experiments."Nola nodded seriously, indicating that she had also noticed this resemblance. "If this is t

Impatient, we all stared at the rock with hope and anticipation. We want to see what the tape contains, important clues that might bring us closer to the hidden truth.We all gather around Dil, while he grips the rock tightly. With a single touch, the stone began to glow and emit a faint sound. Blurry images started to appear in our minds.Suddenly, a recording unfolded before us, which was not what I had thought.When the recording was just about to start, Uncle Arthur and Sarah were running around with faces full of worry. They entered the tent of meeting, where we were, and immediately embraced me with relief when they saw that I was all right.“Ares, I was really worried about you!” cried my uncle while holding my face. Sarah didn't say anything but looks of relief on their faces."I'm fine. Now calm down because we are going to see something important," I said.The recording continues, from a blurry image becoming clearer, so does the sound. From the moving images, it was reveale
