“The High Priests. He must have done this. He might be able to put The Red God to sleep for a while, but he would not be able to defeat him. It's just a matter of time for The Red God to wake up," said Mora."We don't know what their plans are. It is possible that he will take advantage of the anger of The Red God to destroy us," added Khores."They can incite The Red God to destroy you, General Hito—er, I mean Ares Jones," said Rais.Everything they said made perfect sense.Mora and Khores nodded, indicating that they believed what I said."So, what are we going to do now?" asked Bill.“We have to fight The Red God and stop him from destroying this world. We must also find a way to defeat the King. The revolution must take place and you must have a new king who will act justly. The capital must share all knowledge and the tribe must contribute to food and animal husbandry. Only then could the world advance to the next stage. This civil war must end,” I replied.“First of all we have
I hope the same. I looked at Khores who was now sweating coldly. Since then he had not dared to move."Khores, now try to lift your feet," I said.Everyone nodded, agreeing with my words. Khores took a deep breath. We didn't know what was coming, so we took a few steps back. Khores raised his foot that was stepping on the trap panel slowly. My heart was pounding along with his movements. Until finally, his feet actually lifted off the ground.We waited a few seconds, but nothing happened. We breathed a sigh of relief and thought we were safe. However, before I could say anything, I suddenly heard a very fast hissing sound.“Down!” I said while crouching down.We all ducked, but apparently not all had time to duck so quickly.“Khores!” I shouted.I saw Khores fall to the floor, his hands clutching his stomach. Blood flowed from his mouth."Khores, are you all right?" I asked frantically.He couldn't answer, only shook his head weakly.I knelt beside him and tried to check his pulse. Ho
“We can't keep digging into this wall like this. There has to be a greater power,” I said."This crystal," Rais said suddenly.We all looked at Rais who was still holding the crystal object. From that thing, I could feel quite a bit of power. Maybe we can use it to get out of here, but how?We looked at each other, looking for a way to use the crystal's power to help us get out of the room. Finally, I have an idea."I'll try to link the power of this crystal to the power of my The Golden Tree," I said."Isn't it over?" she asked.“I'll try to use the rest of his strength. With the power of this crystal, maybe it can help,” I replied.Everyone nodded in agreement and I started trying to activate my Golden Tree power by focusing on the crystal. I felt the energy from the crystal combine with the power of my Golden Tree and then released that power into the wall in front of us. The wall started to vibrate and I thought it would break soon."Retreat!" I shouted.We all took a few steps ba
I thrust my spear into one of the dead machine parts. I don't care, I have to wreck everything until it's totally broken. The others followed what I did. When I had had enough, I stopped."Come on, get out of here before anyone sees us," I said.We immediately ran out of the room and outside the soldiers were still hallucinating. Quickly, we dashed back towards the secret tunnel we entered just now. Rais found a more hidden path, but we remained cautious, afraid that someone would see us. My heart beats fast. Soon the King will realize that his transmitter tower is not working. We have to get back to the tribe before that happens.We ran as fast as we could toward the secret tunnel we passed earlier. My heart was pounding, I was afraid that there would be palace soldiers or anyone else who would see us there. However, we passed quite hidden streets, following Rais' steps. After running for about 15 minutes, we arrived at the mouth of a secret tunnel. We were relieved that no one was c
We continued walking towards the forest which looked lush and deserted. After walking for a while, we found a fairly large cave in the middle of the forest. We decided to take shelter in the cave for a while.As we entered the cave, I felt relieved and felt safe from the palace soldiers' pursuit. We sat there for a few moments catching our breath and recovering from the tough fight."I don't know what happened next," I said to Toth Karan and Bil."We have to think about the next strategy," said Toth Karan."What should we do now?" I asked."We must return to the dome immediately and we must carry out the next mission to defeat The Red God," replied Bil."And returning Rex's soul to his body. But approaching The Red God who is now in the palace won't be easy," I said."We have no other choice. We have to try," answered Bill firmly.I nodded and we quickly decided to head back to the dome as quickly as possible. We don't know what will happen next, but one thing is certain, we must retu
After a while, Mora entered the medical tent and announced that the leaders of the Moon Worshiper Tribe were waiting in the meeting room. I immediately got up and got ready to join them. The next mission will be more difficult and dangerous, but I'm ready to face it. With the support of the leaders of the Moon Worshiper Tribe, the might of The Golden Tree, and the abilities of every team member, I believe we will be able to defeat The Red God and end the suffering in this kingdom. I quickly finished my meal and immediately went to the meeting room. With the power that has been filled and also the appearance of a woman who claims to be the guardian of The Golden Tree, I feel confident that I can finish all of this. When I entered the room, I could see all the remaining tribe leaders, including Queen Anea who looked tired. It turns out that during this time, the Queen intervened in repairing the crack in the dome. "General, we are glad you are okay," said Bil, who had apparently repla
Mora nodded and got ready to leave. I gave her some of the needed equipment, including a ring with the symbol of the Moon Worshiper Tribe that would help her gain access to the shrine of worship.After Mora left, we continued discussing our next plan. We planned an attack on the shrine after Mora provided information about The Red God's whereabouts.We know that this mission will be the most dangerous and difficult. However, with the combined strength of all the Tribes, The Golden Tree, and the abilities of every team member, we are confident that we can successfully defeat The Red God and end the suffering in this kingdom. And most importantly, I can return to my world and my own body."You think Mora will be fine alone spying into the palace?" asked Bill."I'm pretty sure she can. We now know of several alternative ways into the palace, with all his skills he should be fine,” I said.I had no idea that Mora could pull off disguises before, but something seemed to tell me. Mora seeme
At the same time, I heard a voice from behind. When I turned around, I saw a man armed with a sword chasing Mora. I don't have time to think long. Quickly, I picked up my sword and dashed towards Mora and the man."Mora, run!" I shouted while pointing my sword at the man.However, the boy didn't back down and instead raised his sword to attack me. I was ready to fight but when I saw that man's face I was shocked because he is Toth Karan!"What happened Toth Karan?" I asked in shock."Toth Karan? What are you doing?" asked Mora, also surprised.The man in front of us did not answer my question. He instead threw his sword to the ground and said, "You guys are really smart. You managed to find a secret passage to the palace. But you shouldn't neglect one thing that matters: me."Mora and I looked at each other, we had no idea what she meant."What do you mean?" I asked."Toth Karan is a good totem warrior, but his weakness is that his arrogance is too high. I can easily controlled him,"
The light of the full moon envelops the room with a magical glow, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. Moonlight gently kissed Nola's face which was tense with pain. I stood by her side, my right hand holding hers tightly, conveying warmth and strength from every touch. But the healers want me outside, so I have to go out.“Arghhh!! It hurts!" she cried, the sound of the night's silence interrupted by a cry of pain. The healers forbade me from entering the room, and I could only hear moans and screams from behind the door. Anxiety swept through my heart, I couldn't wait to hear news about Nola's condition.Suddenly, a healer came out of the room and approached me.“My King, you can come in and accompany the Queen,” he said to me.I went into the room and held Nola's hand. Nola held my hand tightly, her eyes staring at the ceiling of the room filled with darkness. Deep moans escaped her lips every time a contraction hit. The light of the full moon, even though it couldn't enter th
That morning, the sunlight played games with the leaves, creating a magical blend of shade and golden glow. The fresh scent of flowers and herbs wafts in the clean air. It was as if nature itself was participating in celebrating this historic moment.The once simple assembly hall now sparkles in the splendor of natural jewels. Folded flags made of silk fluttered brilliantly, and decorations made from dried leaves and fresh flowers decorated every corner of the room. The light from the shining totems reflected the colors of life, implying a new awakening of their power.A moment before the sunlight reached its peak, I came to Nola who was getting ready in the preparation room. The soft light from the crystal chandelier reflected a beautiful glow on her dress made from natural materials, giving her an aura of stunning elegance.When she turned around to see me, her sweet smile filled the room. "Ares," she said in a soft voice that seemed to wash away my nervousness. "You shouldn't have
In an increasingly debilitating state, my voice broke in the reflection of the vibrations of light around us. Light flashed, creating an invisible yet powerful energy network. "I won't give up, even though my body feels increasingly fragile. I won't let you be trapped in this darkness, Nola," I said with trembling determination. The words seemed to be a mantra, strengthening my will even when my body could barely support itself.The Shadow Diamond Totem, glowing with fading black light, spoke in a voice filled with urgency. "Ares Jones, we don't have much time. We have to hurry. Nola needs us.""The Grand Healing Totem's light is starting to fade," she added, her voice filled with determination but sounding fragile. "We have very limited time, Ares Jones."Deep anxiety welled up within me, making me realize that not only these totems were on the verge of destruction, but also Nola and my own life. However, I knew I couldn't give up. It is my mission to reunite Nola's divided soul. Des
The dream just disappeared, fading into endless darkness, and Nola seemed to disappear from my field of vision. I remained asleep, without dreams or images haunting my mind. My body responded deeply to rest, immersing me in an undefined dream world. Abstract images awaken and disappear over an immeasurable span of time. Nola, as if closely linked to the dream world, moved far from the horizon of my mind, disappearing in the surrounding darkness.As morning approached, the sun's rays seeped in through the thin curtains, painting streaks of light on the walls of the tent. I woke up slowly, thrown back into the real world. Rex stood tall by Nola's side, his eyes reflecting a deep worry, hinting at thoughts hovering over the worst possible possibilities."How is she doing, Rex?" I said in a voice that was still hoarse, following the footsteps of the dreamland I had just grasped.Rex looked at me sincerely, his eyes filled with deep worry. “She is still in a weak state; there are no signi
The aroma of spices and herbs filled the air when my eyes opened. My body felt heavy as if all my energy had been drained. Gathering the power to repair The Shadow Diamond Totem was indeed a tiring task.Beside me, Mora stood with a concerned look. "Ares, you are lucky to have survived. But don't underestimate your strength. Don't forget your own limits," he said in a soft voice, hand holding out a healing potion. It tastes bitter but immediately brings freshness to my body."Thank you, Mora. It feels like I was born again," I said with a faint smile.Mora smiled softly. "You will be fine, Ares. The entire tribe is grateful for your sacrifice," she said, her eyes shining with respect."Where is The Shadow Diamond Totem?" I demanded, my curiosity peaked.Mora looked at me warmly. "She is resting in the Shadow Totem Tribe's temple. She needs time to recover her strength from all this."She went to tell the others that I had woken up. Not long after, Toth Karan and the totem warriors ent
In the chaotic battlefield, with magic explosions and echoing groans, I stood before The Shadow Diamond Totem who kept screaming. Her body swayed, trying to break free from the totem warrior's bindings, but her strength only depleted further.I realized that in a state like this, where she was still conscious and twitching wildly, it was very difficult for me to repair her totem codes. My concentration must be stronger than before. However, I can't watch her continue to suffer like this."Get some more blood, we need her weaker!" I ordered several nearby totem warriors. They responded swiftly, opening buckets of blood and meticulously watering The Shadow Diamond Totem. Every drop of blood entered her body, producing the desired effect.However, the woman's desperate screams still roared, filling the battlefield. Bil, with tense eyes, found his courage. "She has to pass out, Ares. We need you completely focused," he said, trying to calm himself and decide on that bold move. I nodded fi
All the totem warriors, men and women who dared to face this darkness, had positioned themselves behind a tight wall of protection. Their eyes were full of determination and firmness as they waited for his next order. The air was thick with tension, and only the sound of the gentle breeze blowing through the leaves could be heard.Only I dared to stand in the middle of the open field, in front of The Shadow Diamond Totem that was almost formed. Swirls of wind and black smoke surrounded him, creating an extremely frightening effect, as if he was the dark embodiment of the subconscious.I was tireless, even though every fiber of my muscle felt tense, and my breath came in short gasps. With strong will, I transferred energy from myself to The Shadow Diamond Totem, seeking to fill the void within him with light and goodness.However, the longer I used my energy, the more tired I became. As weakness began to creep in, I could no longer hold back the cry of exhaustion. "Ahhh!" my cry trembl
The three of us called all the tribe leaders for a meeting at the meeting camp. Tough and cool-headed steps are the price that must be paid to save Nola. Moonlight radiated softly in the night sky, giving this gathering a sacred feel.Toth Karan sat with a serious attitude, his deep eyes filled with deep worry. Rex, with his might, gave off an aura of confidence in every word he spoke. I, trying to hold tightly to my anxious heart, stood in front of the leaders who looked at me with hope."Leaders, we have important news we need to convey," I said in a calm but authoritative voice. "I have found information in the Totem Code Book that can help us save Nola and return the Shadow Diamond Totem to its original state."Mora looked at me curiously. "Original state? What do you mean Ares?"“In the past, this totem was a source of goodness for this tribe. However, there was damage that caused the totem code to have problems. "If we can fix it, the totem will return to being a source of goodn
After eating the beast meat provided by Toth Karan, the feeling of fatigue in my body began to recede. New energy flowed through me, reigniting my enthusiasm to complete this mission."Thank you, Toth Karan. This meat really helps me," I said gratefully to Toth Karan.Toth Karan nodded with a warm smile. "That's good to hear, leader. Is there anything else I can do for you?"I thought for a moment, then finally decided. "Toth Karan, I need some time alone. Can you leave me here so I can concentrate?"Toth Karan nodded in understanding. "Of course, Ares. I'll leave you alone. If you need me again, I'll be in my cabin."After Toth Karan left, I returned to focusing on the thick book open in front of me. Carefully, I touched the surface and started reading again with full concentration.As I delved deeper into the contents of the book, my spiritual eyes began to drift over the pages filled with runic writings and symbols. I began to feel the energy of the totem code book itself radiating
