“Bloody hell!” I cursed when I heard the all-too-familiar buzzing sound.A moment later, I could see from behind the trees a swarm of fat mosquitoes starting to appear. My old friends were getting hungry. The wolf immediately growled and she stared at me. She lowered her body and I understood what she meant. She wanted me to climb on her back.I quickly jumped on her back and the wolf began to spread her wings. The golden herbs healed her wings quickly and now she could fly fast. We shot up into the sky and I was terrified. I shouted while clinging tightly to the wolf's back. The baby wolf that was flying beside me snorted as if he was laughing at me.However, this was not the time for jokes. I looked back and realized that the giant mosquitoes had started chasing us. But this wolf flew much faster and from her direction, I already knew that she was taking me back to the shelter. She knows our shelter apparently."Thanks, buddy," I said to her, gently stroking her head. The wolf lower
I don't know what he'll give me as a gift, but since I've brought him the Golden Herbs, he should be giving me something worth it in return, right? I wish he'd give me something like a day off to face danger and eat as many as I want, or something like that. Holidays are a luxury in my eyes now.The High Priest ordered one of his apprentices to take the golden herbs from my hands and I voluntarily handed them over.“Come with me,” the High Priest said to me.I just nodded and followed behind him. As we walked, all eyes turned to me and I had to play the fool. I don't know how long they will stare at me like they're staring at a strange creature and maybe over time I'll get used to it. Rais Musi and Aran watched me with their faces scrunched up and I smiled because I thought they looked funny.This was probably the first time a new totem warrior like me who failed to awaken many times visited the priests' shrine. I just recently saw apprentices who looked very different from us who wer
I couldn't help myself, I kept seeing several patterns and suddenly one pattern that caught my attention appeared very clearly before my eyes. “Kid? Are you okay?” The High Priest asked. I couldn't answer even though I wanted to. My eyes kept moving as I watched the patterns that kept appearing before me and I couldn't stop. “Rex Hito!” he called out my name. I started to panic because the apprentices had started to get on their guard but I couldn't stop or even answer. They started standing around me, ready in case something happened. “Rex Hito! Can you hear me?” cried the High Priest again. Suddenly I could control myself but I felt so weak I fell to the ground. I really should learn to control the power of the golden tree next time. I don't know what will happen now because I feel a strong urge to do something according to the pattern I saw earlier. I'm also curious, with the pattern I saw earlier, what can I make? “Rex! Are you all right?” asked the High Priest again. "Let
“He can make weapons using totem dominos!” one person exclaimed. Astonished voices rang out from all directions and I felt like I was the center of attention again. What's so special about being able to make totem dominoes? I asked around and immediately got the answer from Rex Hito's mind. Unfortunately, not everyone could make totem dominoes, only the High Priest and his apprentices. It was very rare for a Totem Warrior to be able to do it alone. God, the golden tree really put me in the spotlight."You're asking me to duel?" asked Rais Musi with bulging eyes full of anger.“No,” I answered quickly while lowering the dagger I just made using the totem domino.I put it back on the pile of bones and apparently the dagger can be stored in it as if it disappeared. My movements were too fast but I didn't show any fear. Maybe my face looked arrogant so Rais snorted at me."You are afraid to fight me, child?" he asked.Of course, damn it! I've never fought a Totem Warrior before and I know
“We will return tomorrow to our village with all the food supplies. Our journey will not be easy, so we should all take a good rest. Rex Hito, you will start your studies as soon as we arrive at our village,” said the High Priest.“F-fine,” I stammered a little and my voice was a little hoarse because I was so nervous.My heart raced and it felt like my body was turning cold. Maybe because I was too excited. Finally I experienced an improvement in my life in totem warrior. In my heart I thank the golden tree that has brought me to this stage. I just need to learn how to control his strength which sometimes gets too much.Rais Musi and Aran naturally didn't like this, but after the High Priest said that we should rest, everyone started leaving tonight's exciting show. They started going into the tent to rest."We'll see, kid. You are exactly like that traitor. No one will be able to help you later," Rais said to me as he passed me and deliberately nudged Rex's small body so that I almo
I walked silently following the line. The farther we walked, the more Khores told us to speed up our steps. I understand because the sun is about to set and we are still quite far from the village. So far, there's been no real danger because we're using flaming torches to guard us both the front and the back. I saw the logistics team like Noe and Rea looking more relaxed on the way back. Of course, they would be protected because they were the ones carrying the valuables now, the food.The sound of ugly screams startled me and I looked up at the sky. I widened my eyes because up there were two ugly bald birds with big claws. It's the vulture. Of course, they were interested in the groceries we brought. That must be very appetizing."Oh shit," I cursed under my breath.However, it turned out that my curse was heard by several people around me. They looked at me."Stay cool. We have lots of flaming torches. We'll be fine,” said a totem warrior.I just nodded. Maybe I overreacted because
“Defensive formation!” cried the High Priest again.The apprentices then made a different move. They then made a light that covered us all like a shield. Unfortunately, the shield was formed too late so a creature from the shadow managed to get inside. One of the shadow monsters severed the neck of a child from the logistics team. I don't know what his name is. I was about to shoot the monster, but someone already did it and failed. Of course, those monsters are made of shadows that cannot be killed with normal weapons.“Fire blasts!” shouted Khores suddenly.When he called out like that, I actually saw that Khores' eyes were shining like fire. He then stretched out his hands and from them came a blazing fire. Khores is a top class totem warrior and I was really hoping that super cool attack just now was able to stun the monster, but it didn't. The monster just screamed, its movements seemed to show that it didn't like the light of the fire, but the fire couldn't paralyze it at all.T
We walked as fast as we could and finally, we arrived back at our village safely. The relatives living in the village were already anxiously waiting for the totem warriors and priests to return. The sound of crying was heard everywhere and broke my heart. Happy tears came from those who found their husbands and children coming home. However, sad tears came from those who kept waiting until all the entourage had gone home, but the person they were waiting for didn't exist. Even though we did our best, but every hunt, it was impossible for everyone to survive. Pain pierced my heart when I saw them cry. Maybe that's what Rex experienced when his father didn't come home after hunting that day.Damn it, I totally remember that day from Rex's mind. I really felt what Rex felt and it made me unable to help myself. I ran towards the back of the village, where there was a clean river, and spilled all my feelings there. The sound of gurgling water makes the sound of my crying not too clear. I l
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
