'Ares, I didn't expect Rais Musi to be here, but his nephew isn't. Did you notice?’ asked Rex suddenly.I just remembered that Aran is nowhere to be seen. Even though he must have grown into an adult since seven years had passed, I should be able to recognize him. However, as far as the eye could see there was neither Aran nor his father. There are two possibilities, they die, or they come with the palace. But if they were with the group defending the capital, how could Rais be here?"I'll find out," I said.I ate even more and every time The Golden Tree's power was replenished, I immediately used it to replenish my weak muscles. The more I do it, the better I feel. In a few moments, I was able to stand up and I could walk my feet without assistance. I will recover to prime condition in no time.A few moments later, I managed to finish all of this beast meat down and I started to feel my body getting better. I tried running on the spot. At first, I struggled, but after trying for a wh
"Yeah, really damn it," said Nola.“Thanks for telling me about this, Nola,” I replied.“Rex, you must understand that once we open the dome, the palace will already be preparing to attack,” said Nola while widening her eyes.“I understand,” I replied.“Their attacks just got bigger and bigger until they almost knocked down all of our defenses. You can imagine what happened when they opened the dome. How many will be the victims? We won't be able to survive,” she said again, as if to convince me not to agree to that.I nodded.“Nola, I am just one person. I'll give my opinion on this, but I can't guarantee the end result," I said.“They must be listening to you, Rex. I know that,” said Nola with great confidence, breaking my words just now.I'm a little surprised because Nola is so sure that my opinion will be heard the most. The weight of the tons was back on my shoulders. I can only nod and agree with whatever she says and hope she leaves here soon.“I risked everything and joined t
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked him. I want to sound less defensive, but I can't seem to pull it off. I sounded like I was accusing Rais Musi of something evil, I could see from his expression. Though, I was just asking. Okay, fine, I do suspect him, but I don't mean to show it.“I just want to talk, General. No other. I don't even have any weapons with me," he replied.I looked him up and down. Indeed, there was nothing that looked dangerous about him now. He had no weapons, no pouch, or anything else. He only wears what is attached to him.'Just listen to what he has to say,' Rex told me."Okay. Let's go now," I replied.I then walked with Rais Musi into the Tribe I knew as the flaming tribe totem, but some things had changed.“We have now changed our name to New Flame Totem Tribe, because we are no longer the same. Khores gave the name," Rais said without me asking.I nodded because in my heart I was still very wary of Rais. He also seemed to realize that, so he led me to
"Come on, Rais. Regarding my father, I think that's enough. But don't expect me to forgive you for what happened to Noe. He died because of you," I replied. My words were probably very sharp and it made Rais take a deep breath and slightly lowered his head. I don't feel guilty because Rais made Noe die just because of his blind hatred for Rex. Rex agreed to my words inside my head.“I'm sorry for that too,” he replied in a low voice.I'm speechless. I don't want to say that I have forgiven him or anything like that. So I can only stay silent and stare at him.“I have to go to a meeting. Are you going too?” I asked him.“I am not one of the invited leaders. You go," he told me.I got up and left him just like that. I quickly walked to the meeting place. They held their meetings in a common area close to the battlements and the outermost dome. There was an area like a large hall that could accommodate many people at once.When I arrived, there were a lot of people already gathered insid
Everyone fell silent hearing my screams. They all stared at me and I suddenly felt I had done something stupid. I can't possibly answer if someone asks if I know the solution.‘You have to come up with something,’ Rex said to me.He never helped in matters like this. He should at least come up with an idea. Oh, forget it! The idea isn't any good."So what do you suggest, General Hito?" asked Toth Karan who had been arguing with the person next to him.I gulped. Everyone was looking at me and I had to say something before I looked stupid.“If we open the dome, it is not certain that we will find a food source. What if our food sources are out of reach? We're just going to kill ourselves," I finally said.“We already know that, General Hito. Do you have any ideas for a solution?” asked one of the white-haired men I didn't know.'Send some scouts out of the dome. Surely some people can go outside without having to open the dome, right?' Rex gave an idea. I guess the idea wasn't so bad th
I don't understand what I did wrong to Nola so she really looks angry and looks away like that."What did I do wrong?" I asked Rex while walking.'Who knows? But aren't women like that?’ asked Rex.I shrugged but I thought Rex had a point. Women are unpredictable and no matter how often I get close to women, I don't understand them at all. So, I didn't think about that anymore and walked towards my camp. I took time to go into the kitchen and get some food to eat in the tent. It feels like my stomach feels hungry too often after I wake up from a coma. I mean Rex's belly.'Seven years of not eating we have to make up for it by eating continuously,' Rex commented in my mind.I sat staring at my food. I decided to take a few sips first while thinking. It seems that people have forgotten a little about the existence of The Red God seven years ago. People are no longer shunning me and keeping their distance like before."Do you think The Red God will show up again and mess things up?" I as
I was surprised to see Queen Anea's appearance which was very different compared to usual. She was wearing very beautiful clothes but showing off her body more than usual. I think she had something on her skin that made it glisten in the lantern light. Her hair fell beautifully under her glittering crown. Her face looks much prettier than usual.‘What the—’Rex also saw what I saw."Your Majesty the Queen, I am ready for the ritual," I said."Oh no, you're not ready," she said."Eh?"Suddenly coming from all directions, the beauties of The Moon Worshipper tribe who were all dressed quite short today. They all wore clothes similar to their queen, but in a simpler fashion. They wore very miniskirts and a kind of short tank top that exposed their slender, muscular bellies."Wait, what are you guys going to do?" I asked the beautiful women.“Preparing you for the ritual, General,” replied one of the beauties.“Prepare him,” said Queen Anea.One of the women held my hand and led me away to
Queen Anea's sighs mingled with the singing of the women behind us. I was unable to hold back my desire and when she squealed with pleasure, I released her only to turn her beautiful body to turn towards me. She lay limp when I turned her over. Her breath was shallow and she was sweating, but in my eyes she looked even more beautiful.I stripped off all her clothes and she let me do it. Of course, wasn't this her wish? I'm a bit relieved that Rex disappears at a time like this because he's too young. Hopefully he doesn't see any of this. I held both Queen Anea's wrists and saw her soft hair flowing on the soft mattress."General, I—"She wanted to take a moment to breathe but I wouldn't let her. It's a shame to have such a beautiful woman waiting. I immediately do it from this position, making her scream in pain. She's so cramped and makes me feel so desire. I move my body and like dancing on top of her body. Her beautiful body squirmed because of my movement, she sighed with pleasure
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
