I am bound and weak. Forced to walk in the middle of The Shadow Society's forces, I was led to another room in the palace. As the door opened, I saw Alaric Lambert, the leader of The Shadow Society, sitting on a majestic throne."Welcome, Ares Jones," Alaric said with an evil smile on his face. "Finally, you're in my hands. You've messed up our plans all along, but now, it's all coming to an end."I stared at him hatefully but I felt weak and bound. There's nothing I can do in this situation. I tried to think of a way to escape or free Nola and Raccati, but that seemed too difficult a task.Alaric continued "You might be wondering what the true plans of The Shadow Society are. We have discovered an extraordinary power in The Totem World, a power that can change this world. By using the genetic mutations present there, we have almost succeeded in creating a DNA fusion between the young totem warriors we abducted and the armies of the modern world. The result is a powerful and invincibl
I feel angry and devastated. I can't accept such justification. "So you're going to make me a sacrifice?"The Guardian looks at me with compassion. “Ares, you must understand that your role in all of this is important. However, you have the power to choose your own path. I cannot force you to become the victim for the destruction of the modern world. It was your own choice when you decided to return to the Totem World. outlined, Ares. There is nothing we can do to save the modern world."Before I could respond, the world started spinning again and I woke up again in a dark place. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was still bound and in the presence of Alaric and The Shadow Society's army. They all looked at me with evil smiles on their faces."Ares Jones, it's time for us to continue the extraction process," said Alaric in a cold voice. "We'll take everything we need from you right now."My father was seen standing in the corner of the room. Someone pushed himself forward. He s
In one sudden move, I released a burst of energy from my body that shattered all restraint. The Shadow Society troops were shocked and staggered backward. Alaric glared with confusion.My father watched the scene with wide-open eyes. There was a hint of hope in her eyes as she realized I still had the strength to fight back."Ares, run! Save yourself!" cried my father in a voice full of despair.I didn't want to leave my father, but I knew I had to take this chance. With the strength I had left, I broke free from the bonds and dashed out of the room.However, I cannot leave my father. I know that my father will be killed by The Shadow Society. So, I decided to run again."No! Go and don't come back!” my father exclaimed.I saw a soldier from The Shadow Society shooting something at me. My father saw it too, then he did something unexpected. He jumped and blocked the soldier. The shot hit him right in the chest. Not just once, but twice. His blood splattered my face, then my father fel
I knelt beside the lying beast, taking a deep breath. The battle was over, and I managed to defeat a strong foe. Even though my body felt tired and hurt, I felt relieved and satisfied that I had fought and triumphed against the darkness.As I looked around, I noticed that the sounds of war drums were getting closer. The Tribe was already in danger, and I could no longer delay going back and helping them. I have to run toward that voice and protect the people I love.As I dashed through the forest at top speed, I inevitably fell to the ground hard. Pain shot through my body as I realized that my leg was badly injured. I tried to stand up, but couldn't move my sprained leg properly. Falling and sitting there, I felt despair approaching.However, suddenly, from behind the bushes near me, two familiar figures appeared. It was my friend, the winged wolf, and his grown son. They were still alive and found me at the most crucial moment.The winged wolf came closer and kissed my face gently a
In my dream, I could see into the palace. The Shadow Society seems to have succeeded in creating an army of powerful mutants using a serum created from my blood and the power of the Golden Tree. The army is ready to attack the tribe with power and cruelty that has never been imagined before.I saw an army of hideous mutants, with sparkling eyes and bodies wrapped in fierce black energy. They are getting ready to destroy everything around them, seeking power and destruction. In a state of despair, I watched this horrific scene without being able to do anything about it.Suddenly, I woke up from my dream with sweat pouring down my face. A sudden realization dawned on me, and I felt an urgent urge to rush back to the tribe and warn them of the imminent danger."Come on, buddy!" I cried in a tone full of anxiety. "We must quickly return to the tribe. They are in danger!"The winged wolf, who had been sleeping nearby, immediately woke up and understood the urgency of the situation. She sto
"Then what should we do now? Nola and Raccati are in the palace, The Shadow Society has created an army of mutants, the tribe no longer believes in me, and a war is about to break out. Everything has failed. Maybe this prophecy is wrong… I can't save modern times, let alone save the tribe. The modern age is doomed to collapse and there is nothing I can do, and the tribes will become slaves to the rulers. I have failed," I said as I sat down.The winged wolf stared at me then howled a little while moving its head towards a mural on the wall. The mural depicts a place with tall buildings which were later destroyed."Yes I know. The modern age has certainly been destroyed in the revolution which may have already occurred by now. The Guardian of The Golden Tree has told me that I can't change fate," I replied."Maybe, I also can't change the destiny of tribes who have to become palace slaves," I continued again.The two wolves let out a small howl, as if trying to cheer me up. They let me
With firm steps and a passionate heart, I left the cave, ready to face the arduous but hopeful journey. I know that the dream I had gave me the guidance and courage needed to change my destiny and bring change to this tribe and this world.Even though I might die, at least I died struggling. Compared to just being quiet. I would still die, but I chose to die in a more honorable state.Resolved, I left the cave with passion burning within me. I entered the outer world filled with challenges and dangers, but I was ready to face them with the courage and strength I had just found.I know that the journey toward saving the destiny of the tribe will not be easy. The Shadow Society has great power and a wide network. However, I will not back down. I don't want to see this tribe and world fall into darkness and destruction.I don't have extraordinary physical strength, but I have strength within me. The power of love, courage, and determination to do what's best for the people I love.On thi
In the chaos that engulfed me, I moved nimbly and nimbly. I protect my comrades in arms and fight The Shadow Society with determination. The Golden Tree's power allows me to perform unexpected attacks and change the flow of battle.At a critical moment, I jumped into the air and used The Golden Tree's power to create a flash of light that blinded the enemy. With a quick move, I destroy the enemy's weapon and immobilize their movement.“Ares… you are back?” he asked.I was immediately wary of seeing Rex and the other tribe leaders after their last attack on me. They all stared at me with expressions I couldn't easily decipher.“I'm not the enemy, Rex… A lot happened in the palace. Nola and Raccati, they are not traitors either,” I said.Bill and Rex looked at each other.“I believed in you from the start, Ares,” Rex replied. If anyone knows me best in Totem World, it's Rex. We once shared the same thoughts."We have a lot to discuss, but first, we have to push back the palace troops,"
