"On this journey, Jonathan Jones and the young totem warriors have been trapped in a place, where an exchange took place," the voice continued, providing a much needed clue.We both listened intently, digesting every word and taking it to heart. Just as we were planning to continue our dialogue with the tree, there was suddenly an electrifying sound.CRACK!I accidentally stepped on the sleeping demon's tail hard, waking it up from its long slumber. The demon let out an angry groan that made the sky tremble and made the ground shake.The ground shook under the awakened devil's angry might. Nola and I stand tall, ready to face the threat that comes our way. I have to admit that I was really scared right now.In the shadow of the dark sky, the demon stood tall with a height that reached the surrounding trees. Its large, muscular body was covered with sharp curves and spurs. His skin was pitch black, as if it was absorbing all the light around it. His eyes were fiery, radiating boundless
Nola and I were breathing heavily, trying to catch their breath after the intense battle. We held each other, supporting each other in their tiredness. While the demon lay helplessly on the ground, its formidable power had been paralyzed. I just realized that myself and Nola are covered in blood, I don't know how many attacks, but strangely I haven't felt the pain now.In the heavy silence, the tree's subtle voice sounded again, bringing calm after the disastrous battle. "Ares... Nola... you have overcome severe trials with great courage and perseverance. The strength within you is the light that will guide you to what you seek."Nola and I looked at each other with renewed conviction. They realized they had passed their first test, and their journey to rescue Jonathan Jones and the young totem warriors had only just begun.“Tell us about where the young totem warrior and my father, Jonathan Jones, disappeared,” I said, seizing the moment the Tree Spirit thanked him.In a moment of me
With swift and agile movements, I dashed in the opposite direction with the gap opened, dodging the attacks of the little demons trying to chase me. “Hey! Come catch me if you can!” I shouted. Nola took that opportunity to kill as many as possible while running toward the gap I pointed out. The burst of light he created gave me the chance to run. I ran as fast as I could towards the gap but suddenly appeared before me several devils with bloodshot eyes that were furious. Not wanting to give up, I tried to dodge their attacks with swift movements. I jumped, rolled, and swung my spear with all my might. Flashes of light and clangs of metal filled the air as my spear collided with the demons' claws. Even though I struggled with all my might, the number of demons continued to grow. I felt my strength getting drained, and my wounds getting more and more torturous. However, I persisted, relying on the determination and courage that burned in my heart. Meanwhile, Nola managed to escape t
“Oh, no…”From her expression, I could already guess something."It's running out?" I guessed.Nola took a deep breath.“We must move quickly before the sun sets. Come on!" I shouted.I groaned as I tried to stand up. The two of us might have made it out of the forbidden forest already, but might die in the forest of The Totem World if we didn't hurry. Our blood will attract many beasts to come closer and we will be seriously injured. Even the technological weapons from the capital were gone. This is really a very annoying situation.With hasty steps, we continued our journey through the forest of The Totem World. Our bodies were heavy and our wounds were excruciating, but our resolve to survive remained strong.We try to remember the paths we took as we seek our way back to our tribe. However, the state of the forest was noticeably more challenging than we remembered. Dense trees and streets that look alike made us even more confused. Every step we take is a gamble, as time is tickin
The two of us began to explore the bottom of the ravine, looking for a possible exit. Even though our wounds were painful and our energy was limited, we didn't lose hope.After walking for a while, I started to notice something. Something was throbbing in my pocket. I reached into my pocket and found the bark that the tree spirit of the forbidden forest had given me glowing brightly."Ares... what's wrong?" asked Nola.“This… I think this is a sign that we are close to The Golden Tree's existence,” I said.Nola's eyes widened when she heard my words. Nola looked at the glowing bark in awe. She knew how important The Golden Tree was in our quest. Maybe we can persuade The Guardian of The Golden Tree"With this bark, we might be close to The Golden Tree," said Nola in a hopeful voice. "Come on, let's keep looking for a way out. We have to find the tree and persuade The Guardian to give you her powers again."A new urge filled our hearts, and we continued their journey at the bottom of t
“The Guardian, I just want to save my father and return to my era. Please," I said.“And I have to stop The Shadow Society from kidnapping our young totem warriors,” Nola added.“Why save your father? It's a waste, Ares Jones. You better go, there's nothing more I can do for you," said The Guardian.“No, please! Please help us!”I don't know what to do, so I can only beg. My brain is dead. But when I did that, I could suddenly feel the ground shaking. Something bad is about to happen."What is going on?" I asked."You must leave before he comes," said The Guardian."He? Who is he?" I asked.Before The Guardian could answer, suddenly there was a growl and roar that shook the whole sky. From a distance, I could see a mountain moving. A few moments later, I realized that it was not a mountain, but the back of some creature. My eyes widened as I saw his eyes which were probably bigger than my apartment.“Shit!” I exclaimed."What's that?" asked Nola with the same horror on her face.The G
I nod, though I'm not sure Nola really understands the situation we're in. To save my era, then I must sacrifice The Totem World, but if I want Totem World to exist, then I must allow the revolution that destroyed my era to continue. This whole thing is getting so confusing and I don't know what to do."Now, first we need to find information about The Shadow Society. We need to know their aims and weaknesses," said Nola. "We can look to sources that can provide clues. Ares, I know there must be a way out."“First of all, we have to convince The Golden Tree to help us,” I said while looking outside the cave, where the ancient behemoth was rampaging."You mean by defeating the behemoth, The Golden Tree will help us?" Nola asked me."May be. We have to try every possibility, right? Think about it, Nola. With the existence of the ancient behemoth, of course life in this valley becomes unbalanced. The Golden Tree must want to kill that ugly creature,” I replied.“Ares, The Golden Tree has
“Ares, I… I was so emotional when I found out… I went with you because I believe we will prove all your words true! That the palace is up to something evil with The Shadow Society! That High Priest was a traitor! So please, let's finish now what we started," said Nola.“Nola… Do you have proof for any of that?” I asked.“Ares, trust me. I have the proof," said Nola.At the same time, I suddenly heard the sound of an ancient behemoth from outside screeching so close to us that the entire cave shook. I know, we really can't back down now.“Shit!” I exclaimed when I saw the rampaging ancient behemoth out there.Even though I'm sure the ancient behemoth wasn't paying attention to us, it was rushing at high speed towards us. We have to get out of this cave immediately if we don't want to die trapped in the cave."Come on, Nola!" I shouted.The two of us were forced to run out of the cave. I didn't want to attract the behemoth's attention but it was no use. Even though we ran to the side, t
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
