"Is this a possible coincidence?" whispered Nola in confusion.“Perhaps someone told them about our vault, or perhaps they have access to the same knowledge and resources,” Queen Anea replied in a hoarse voice.Our friends looked worried, confusion noted on their faces. The magic dome is a powerful protection and difficult to break, even for those who created it. But now, the dome was in the hands of our enemies, and kept us trapped outside the palace, completely unable to enter."What should we do now?" asked Bill with a feeling of despair.I pondered for a moment, trying to find an answer. However, it seems we have reached a dead end. Without a way to infiltrate the palace, our plan to meet King Hon and persuade him into an alliance feels impossible."Right now, we can't do anything," I sighed heavily. "We should return to the hideout and discuss some more."We all left the place, leaving behind a palace that was protected by a magic dome that exactly matched our tribe's. Our hearts
Hearing Nola's words, my heart split. I understand her motivation, but I also can't imagine losing her. But I know that Nola is a strong warrior and has unwavering determination."No, but..."“Ares, I know you're worried about me, but rest assured, this is the only way. If I show myself, King Hon will definitely be lured out,” said Nola."Let's talk in more detail how the plan will be carried out," I said finally.We all sat in silence around the bonfire around us.“Even if Nola becomes the bait, we still can't get close to the palace. How can we get King Hon out?” I asked.Mora nodded.“From the results of my investigation, King Hon is most likely hidden by Alaric. He might not be able to freely go in and out of his own castle now,” Mora replied.I took a deep breath, so did Nola who was sitting beside me."Actually there is one way," said Nola.We all turned to Nola, intrigued by her new idea. Nola busied herself with something in her pocket and finally pulled out a diamond ring tha
Everyone fell silent, understanding the importance of this step. If The Grand Flaming Core had fallen into enemy hands, we needed to know who was responsible and how to deal with it. If Nola could find out everything from inside the palace, it could be a huge boon to our cause."Wait, Nola!" I said.Nola who was already walking away from our hiding place, stopped walking and turned to me."I'll be fine, Ares," he told me."That's not it, Nola. I have a better idea!” I shouted.The idea that popped into my head felt like a good idea and came out of the blue. I think this will be the solution to all my worries.***To carry out my idea, we installed a communication device on the inside of Nola's robes. We also installed a magic monitoring device so that everyone in the tribe can see what's going on in the palace and can send help. He looked at me with a face full of worry."You sure this will work, Ares?" he asked."Of course," I said.Ten minutes later, my plan was executed. With her l
"Damn it! You think you can beat me with this trick of yours?" shouted Alaric, furious at the chaos I'd diverted.I purposely made myself appear strong and ferocious, drawing the full attention of Alaric and The Shadow Society's army. They don't realize that Nola has already managed to find King Hon. I just need to wreak havoc a little longer for Nola to persuade King Hon to come out with her.Amidst the chaos I created, I kept trying to attract the attention of Alaric and his troops. They tried to deal with me with magic attacks and weapons, but I shrewdly dodged every one of them. The devouring flames around us grew bigger, reinforcing the illusion that I was an invincible foe.My body transformed into the figure of a huge bird burning with fire. My gallantly flapping wings reflect a fiery red light, filling the night sky with a luminous beam. Amidst the stillness of the night, the hoarse sound of a fire-breathing bird boomed like thunder, breaking the stillness of the lonely night.
Nola added, "We have to work together to achieve our goal. One mistake could be disastrous for all of us."We are also willing to cooperate with King Hon, even though the feeling of distrust still haunts our minds. After a night of discussing and strategizing, we discovered that King Hon does indeed have valuable information about The Shadow Society. He knows their weaknesses, the main strengths to watch out for, and the secret alliances they have formed.“I am very tired and it is very late at night. We all haven't rested yet. Let's finish our meeting tonight," said Bill.“Bill is right. We will not be able to think calmly if we are exhausted. The enemy has The Grand Flaming Core, we have to think about the next plan carefully. We will regroup here tomorrow morning,” I replied.
We feel even more desperate to hear this news. Sarah looks increasingly weak and there is no way to heal it. We decided to stay by his side and support him as best we could. I looked around, there were so many of them dying. We don't know if they will survive until morning comes and The Red Moon is gone. We don't even know if we ourselves, as totem warriors, can survive this. I feel that my breath is getting heavier and heavier.We all felt so limited and anxious, no one knew how to deal with this situation. The Red Moon continues to emit energy that makes us weaker and weaker. All attempts at healing seemed to be in vain, and we could only pray that morning would come as soon as possible, bringing an end to this darkness.Amidst despair and worry, we continue to be by Sarah's side, providing the support and positive energy we have. However, our limited strength made the anxiety even stronger. We're trying to put our heads together and try to find a way to last until morning comes.No
Nola nodded in agreement, "That's right, Ares. We have to make sure that no one tries to spoil our plans. If anyone tries to betray us, we have to find a way to ambush them and take back The Grand Flaming Core.""We don't have time to think too long. We have to act quickly. We can't even wait for nightfall. We only have a few hours left," I said with concern."There's one thing we can try," Nola said suddenly."What's that?" I asked with widened eyes."I think we can lure the traitor out," said Nola.Ten minutes later, Nola and I called everyone to gather in the middle of our hideout.“What announcement will you make, Ares?” Mora asked me."Okay, now that everyone is assembled. I have a very important announcement to make," I said.Everyone was silent and listened. The atmosphere became very silent because of it. All the tribe leaders fell silent and waited."I'm going to perform the honesty ritual," I said in a loud voice.I could see a few people frowning and looking at each other.
Without hesitation, we changed direction and followed Nola's lead. The chase continued, and we again gathered our energy to continue the chase. However, as time went on, Dil became more and more adept at sneaking himself up. He kept changing places quickly, leaving behind a confusing trail."Damn it, he's too nimble!" I said frustrated.As we continued to follow his trail, we eventually found clearer tracks. And it was at that moment, I saw Dil's figure flying in the sky, heading towards the towering mountains."I saw him! He's heading to the mountains!" I cried, alerting the others to his whereabouts.Without hesitation, we increased our speed and power even more to catch up to him who disappeared in the horizon. I continued to give directions and we tried our best to narrow the distance between us.We continued to chase until we finally approached the top of the mountains. Dil seems to be trying to find a place to hide but we won't let him escape his capture.We drew nearer and near
