I nodded and we continued our journey through the secret passage. We walked carefully, avoiding palace guards and any traps that might lie along the way.After passing through several hidden passages and rooms, we finally reached the exit that led outside the palace. I felt relief and tension as we entered the dark tunnel that connected the palace to the outside world."Ares, you must go now. Take good care of yourself," my father said."Come with me, father! Stop working for them!" I shouted.My dad shook his head and let go of my hand.“Go away! Before they know!”“Father, but…”“Ares, forget about me. Go back to the tribe, and… don't go back to modern times,” my father said while looking at me closely. I knew something bad would happen and my dad was really into it.“Daddy!”"Go now!" he cried as he closed the hallway door quickly.I couldn't go back inside because he had locked it from the inside. I was silent with tears starting to trickle down my cheeks. This was really beyond m

However, I already shouted while throwing a fist towards the old man's face. I didn't expect to hit him right away because I know how strong this guy is. Sure enough, before my fist reached his face, my hand couldn't move. It was as if an invisible force was holding him back. “I know you hate me, Ares Jones. But your feelings have blinded you. Nola is not a girl like you think,” said the old man in a calm tone. I was forced to lower my fist and then I went out of the tent of meeting. I stepped out of the tabernacle of meeting with a heavy heart. Disappointment, anger, and confusion filled my mind. What happened exactly? Why is all this happening? Suddenly, a powerful echo filled the air, and I felt the wind swirl around me. In an instant, something large and luminous appeared before me. It was Raccati Mor, the winged man who had kidnapped me earlier. "Silence, Ares Jones," his voice echoed through the air. "You must come with me." I was shocked and wanted to fight back, but Racca

After the guards left, we continued on our way quickly, taking advantage of their ignorance of our presence. With caution, we managed to escape and reach the middle of the palace without their knowledge. Now we just need to find Nola's whereabouts.We walked carefully in the middle of the palace's luxurious corridors, trying to avoid the soldiers standing guard. Raccati remained alert, his eyes constantly checking every corner of the room for any sign of Nola."There is a special room on the upper floors of the palace where Nola may be held," Raccati whispered to me. "I studied the map of this palace for some time, and I know the way to get there."We moved through the brightly lit alleys, trying not to attract anyone's attention. Every door we passed, we checked carefully to make sure there weren't any guards inside.Suddenly, Raccati pushed me into a small alcove hidden in the corridor wall. I looked at him in confusion, but he placed a finger to his lips, motioning for me to remain

I am bound and weak. Forced to walk in the middle of The Shadow Society's forces, I was led to another room in the palace. As the door opened, I saw Alaric Lambert, the leader of The Shadow Society, sitting on a majestic throne."Welcome, Ares Jones," Alaric said with an evil smile on his face. "Finally, you're in my hands. You've messed up our plans all along, but now, it's all coming to an end."I stared at him hatefully but I felt weak and bound. There's nothing I can do in this situation. I tried to think of a way to escape or free Nola and Raccati, but that seemed too difficult a task.Alaric continued "You might be wondering what the true plans of The Shadow Society are. We have discovered an extraordinary power in The Totem World, a power that can change this world. By using the genetic mutations present there, we have almost succeeded in creating a DNA fusion between the young totem warriors we abducted and the armies of the modern world. The result is a powerful and invincibl

In one sudden move, I released a burst of energy from my body that shattered all restraint. The Shadow Society troops were shocked and staggered backward. Alaric glared with confusion.My father watched the scene with wide-open eyes. There was a hint of hope in her eyes as she realized I still had the strength to fight back."Ares, run! Save yourself!" cried my father in a voice full of despair.I didn't want to leave my father, but I knew I had to take this chance. With the strength I had left, I broke free from the bonds and dashed out of the room.However, I cannot leave my father. I know that my father will be killed by The Shadow Society. So, I decided to run again."No! Go and don't come back!” my father exclaimed.I saw a soldier from The Shadow Society shooting something at me. My father saw it too, then he did something unexpected. He jumped and blocked the soldier. The shot hit him right in the chest. Not just once, but twice. His blood splattered my face, then my father fel
