Impatient, we all stared at the rock with hope and anticipation. We want to see what the tape contains, important clues that might bring us closer to the hidden truth.We all gather around Dil, while he grips the rock tightly. With a single touch, the stone began to glow and emit a faint sound. Blurry images started to appear in our minds.Suddenly, a recording unfolded before us, which was not what I had thought.When the recording was just about to start, Uncle Arthur and Sarah were running around with faces full of worry. They entered the tent of meeting, where we were, and immediately embraced me with relief when they saw that I was all right.“Ares, I was really worried about you!” cried my uncle while holding my face. Sarah didn't say anything but looks of relief on their faces."I'm fine. Now calm down because we are going to see something important," I said.The recording continues, from a blurry image becoming clearer, so does the sound. From the moving images, it was reveale
“He's gone, I just used magic to let him say his last words. No one can ask him anything more,” said The High Priest.We were all silent in grief and silence. Now, the evidence is coming to light, leading us to an unexpected reality. There is something sinister lurking behind the castle walls, and my father, Jonathan Jones, may have been implicated in the evil plans of The Shadow Society.We realized that our journey was not only to find the truth but also to protect our tribe from a bigger threat. In the dark of the night, we steeled our hearts and prepared to face the increasingly complex and dangerous conspiracies right before our eyes."Everything Ares said was true," Rex said after that."What should we do now?" asked Dil while taking a deep breath.I looked around. Mora, who had not said anything since earlier, and Queen Anea were seen starting to shed tears seeing the pitiful condition of one of the young totem warriors who had disappeared during a hunt. Of course, what lay bef
"Fine, I'll do it," I said firmly. "I will try to lure my father out of the palace and find out his plan. But we must be careful and ready for any possible danger."Mora touched my arm trustingly "You did the right Ares. We will plan our next steps carefully and keep ourselves safe."We sat down together, devising a plan carefully. Each step must be well thought out and adapted to complex situations. A tough task awaits, but we are ready to face it to protect our tribe and uncover the truth hidden within the castle walls."We don't know where Jonathan Jones really is. The palace is very wide and it is not easy to infiltrate," said Bil."I think we should lure him out," Mora said.Mora is right. It's the only easiest way. With Ares here, we can lure him out. Of course he cares about his own child, “said Rex.“Ares, can you do it?” Dill asked me.“I think it can be done,” I replied."We can start as soon as possible. We can't wait until they kidnap the young totem warrior again,” said M
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
"Now I know nothing more, uncle. I don't know what's right and what's wrong anymore,” I answered in a low voice. My eyes sting and I know soon tears will roll down my eyelids, even though I try to hold them back. The situation became silent as soon as they heard my words, as if the whole tribe also felt my pain. I don't know what happened to mom. If it was my father who harmed my mother, I really don't know what to believe anymore. Suddenly, hurried steps were heard approaching towards the assembly hall. Everyone turned to the door, and they were surprised to see one of the young totem warriors, named Arin, enter the room out of breath. "Sorry, I disturbed the meeting," Arin said in a breathless voice. "Nola... Nola is missing!" “W-what?” I asked. Hearing the news, the atmosphere in the hall became even more tense. "Was he kidnapped?" asked Bill. “Nola is a priest with high power, it wasn't easy to kidnap her. Whoever did this has completely crossed the line," Rex said. Everyon
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
"So The High Priest knows about all this?" I asked.Raccati nodded again."That's why he knew Nola was up to something," Raccati replied.“Then why would Nola want to poison The High Priest? Why did Nola say that The High Priest killed her parents?” I asked.“It's part of the palace order. Nola doesn't want to do it, but she has to. The High Priest used to side with the palace, but then he proved his loyalty to the tribe at the last moment. The Palace didn't like that. He is indeed an old man who is unstable and unpredictable. I don't know where he will take his side," Raccati replied."So the palace ordered Nola to kill The High Priest?" I asked.“That's what I know,” Raccati replied.“Then why did you kidnap me at this time?” I asked."I need your help, Ares," she replied."My help?"Raccati Mor doesn't seem like a man who likes to ask other people for help, but now he asked for my help and I knew immediately that something very dangerous was about to happen."You have the power of
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
