Maleek, Voltus, Rangi, and Hao Gio finally arrived at the Divum Mountain Bride city gates, their breaths visible in the cold air as they entered the deserted city. Maleek, always observant, scanned the Tibetan and Nepali-inspired architecture that adorned the streets, his eyes tracing the intricate designs etched into the buildings. As they ventured further into the city, caution painted their every step, the eerie silence weighing heavy on their shoulders. The wind whispered through the empty streets, carrying flecks of snow that danced in the air, a chilling reminder of the dropping temperatures.

“Something is not right,” Voltus voiced, his tone laced with concern. “If you are talking about the weather, you are right. My balls will freeze if we don’t get out of this cold,” Maleek quipped, his teeth chattering as he rubbed

    Maleek lay sprawled on the cold, unforgiving ground, his body aching as if he had been torn apart and pieced back together again. His mind swirled in an endless void, a dark abyss that seemed to stretch on for eternity. Every time he tried to make sense of where he was, the darkness would press in tighter, suffocating him with its weight. He was alone—utterly and completely alone. His thoughts were fragmented, scattered like pieces of a puzzle he couldn’t quite put together."Maleek! Wake up!" A voice pierced through the stillness of his mind, urgent and insistent. It was familiar, soothing in its desperation.Groaning, Maleek stirred. His head throbbed, and his body felt like it had been through hell. Slowly, his senses returned, one by one—touch, sound, sight.

    Maleek awoke with a groan, his head pounding and a cold chill creeping through his limbs. He blinked rapidly, trying to shake the fog from his mind, and slowly pushed himself up from the hard surface beneath him. "Damn! My head..." he muttered, rubbing his temples, feeling the sharp ache like a vice around his skull. As his eyes adjusted to the dim light of the room, he scanned his surroundings. The flat walls were bare, with no windows to speak of, and the cold stone floor felt alien beneath his fingertips. Rangi sat cross-legged in a meditative position, his eyes closed in a state of tranquility, while Voltus, sitting slightly apart, stared blankly at the floor as though lost in thought."Where the hell are we?" Maleek demanded, the frustration in his voice palpable as he staggered to his feet, feeling a twinge of dizziness. He steadied himself on a nearby stone pillar as he looked from one of his companions to the other.Rangi, unfazed by the urgency in Maleek's voi

As she braved the elements, her attention was drawn to the illuminated communication crystal at her side, its pulsing light signaling an incoming message. With a swift motion, she activated the crystal, projecting a holographic image of Raifujin."My Viscountess, I have recaptured the prisoner Maleek, Palo, and others from the Illuminarium City," Raifujin reported. "Excellent," Venganza replied, her voice resolute. "And what of the blue flame data crystal? Have you found it?""I am very close," Raifujin assured her.
