“Hurry up, Rex,” whispered Noe."What are you doing? Quickly get out of here!” exclaimed Rum Hito.Of course, we ignored his words. We've come this far, there's no way we'd just leave. I immediately checked the iron bars and found a padlock that had been enchanted. Of course it's not really a spell. This must be some kind of totem code used to sophisticatedly lock it. I have to crack the code using the power of The Golden Tree. I'm kind of a hacker now.Now, I can use the power of the golden tree more smoothly, without needing to concentrate on having it appear before my eyes. My body glowed with golden light and so did my eyes. I immediately saw the totem codes that locked it. My hand quickly moved, deciphering the code.“Hurry up, Rex,” Noe said.Noe was very worried and I could understand because I could also feel that The Black Cloud was starting to move towards us. The noises were getting less and less though they were still audible, but if I were that monster, I would certainly
I could hear Noe's screams as we changed places. This is probably something very terrible for him. This should be terrible for me too, but it feels like I'm always so close to death that I'm numb. Rex is still crying in my mind for leaving his father in that horrible prison. I don't know what The Black Cloud will do to him, but I can be sure that his father will live because Noe has told us that all prisoners live to suffer more.In a few seconds, I felt our bodies had moved places. I still managed to see the library door opened. The King will definitely look for us wherever we go after this. However, the Totem World is vast and I'm sure technologies like satellites and stuff were destroyed after the revolution, so it would be very difficult to find us. I can breathe a little easier.I fell heavily onto the stone floor as the light dimmed. Noe also groaned and I could see he fell down pretty hard. The displacement spell didn't promise us falling into a soft spot, but at least our head
“Rex!” someone shouted, waking me up from my dreamless sleep. However, the voice that woke me up was neither Noe's nor Rex's. I was really surprised because it was Nola's voice. I opened my eyes and looked around because I thought he had arrived at this empty shelter, but it turns out that I'm the only one there. Noe had gone somewhere and the moon was already shining, illuminating the dark sky. "Nola?" I asked, looking all around for the sound, but I saw no one. I just realized that my body feels weak, must be because of the bloody marks. “Rex! I wasn't really there. I sent this message because…” Nola's voice stopped. “Nola? I can't hear you!” I shouted. “Rex, you need to get out of there immediately,” she said. “W-what? Is this an order from the High Priest?” I asked. Nola seemed to be saying a few more things but I couldn't hear her clearly. It's like an intermittent telephone line. I realized just now that there had been gold dust glistening faintly around my ears and head
“High Priest, I received a distress signal from the tribe, so we rushed out of here,” I said after the High Priest closed the gate again.The old man then turned around and looked at me.“What exactly were you doing in the palace?” he asked.“The king wants to kill me, so I have to escape,” I answered him.The old man took a deep breath and walked deeper into the old shelter. It's already dark, but he came here alone, it makes me very curious.“High Priest, you came here alone?” I asked.'Ares, don't tell me we got a message from Nola! I have a bad feeling!’ Rex shouted in my mind.I wanted to ask why, but I couldn't do it in front of the High Priest as well as Noe. However, all of this was very sudden and the contradiction between the High Priest's and Nola's statements made Rex's words make sense. I won't say anything until everything is clear. This little boy has good intuition."Don't worry about me," he told me.Noe just kept quiet and kept his distance. He looked at me with a lo
"Damn you! Damn it!” I shouted while continuing to pound on the invisible wall.“I know you've always thought this had something to do with Rais Musi. Well, he's not as smart as you think,” said the High Priest."You will pay for Canu's death!" I shouted.The High Priest only smiled at that and ignored what I said. He immediately turned around and walked out of the tent. I tried to find a way out by banging on this invisible wall, but I couldn't do it.“You will wait here until they come,” the High Priest said as he walked out. He said it without even looking back.'He's going to kill Noe,' said Rex inside my mind.I widened my eyes at Rex's words because I knew they made so much sense."Hey!! Hey! Don't you touch him! Noah! Noah! Run!” I shouted with all my might.The High Priest paid no heed to me. He immediately walked out and as soon as he opened the tent door, I clearly saw Noe in the front there. Looks like he overheard our conversation and he immediately ran outside in vain. Of
I stepped inside the portal just as the shelter's gate was forced open. The big horses from the palace pushed their way inside. At the same time, I was sucked into the portal. The dizziness and spinning only lasted for a moment and suddenly, I was at the end of the portal.My eyes needed to adapt before I could see more clearly what was around me. I fell to the ground hard and dry. Someone was sticking out his hand to me and when I looked up it was Toth Karan."General Hito," he said.I took his hand and he helped me up to my feet.“It was the High Priest!”Those were the first words that slipped from my lips."What?" asked Toth Karan.Now I realized that I was in the Shadow Totem Tribe. The Totem Warriors of the shadow totem are behind Toth Karan, they are already wearing armor, ready to go to war. One thing that surprised me was that they could create teleportation portals.“The High Priest! He betrayed me!” I exclaimed.Toth Karan looked surprised. However, he said nothing.“If tha
The horses kept running and we didn't use any light. The Totem Warrior in front of me directs the horse to walk behind the trees, we walk in the darkness. I understood that we shouldn't attract attention and secretly travel to one of the tribes."Where are we going?" I asked one of the totem warriors accompanying me.“Moon Worshipper Tribe,” he said.'That tribe is the most introverted tribe. This is a surprise,' said Rex in my mind.“The Tribe is the most secretive, how can you contact them? Have they really become our alliance?” I asked.“They are the first tribe to respond to the alliance proposal from Toth Karan. For years they kept themselves closed, maybe because they didn't want to kill each other with other tribes. They just want to live well, but it turns out that the symbol of the revolution makes them move immediately," he replied.‘That’s quite amazing actually,’ said Rex.From Rex's thoughts, I could tell that not many knew how life was in the Moon Worshiper Tribe. They w
"Come closer and sit here," said the woman, getting up and walking towards a table that looked like a dining table with several chairs around it. He pointed at a chair so I could sit. She herself sat in one of his chairs. She then motioned for the maids to give me food and drink, then they all left leaving us alone. I gulped because I was used to being in danger after dinner.“The revolution is at hand, Rex Hito. I want to ask something from you,” Queen Anea said to me. I guess this woman doesn't like to mince words and wants to say something to the point."You must grant it, otherwise I will not offer you any protection," she said.Just met for a few seconds, but she is already threatening me like this. However, I had no choice but to comply with what she asked.“I understand that I cannot refuse your request, Your Majesty,” I replied."Very well then," he replied with a smile. From her smile, I already knew this woman kept secret."So what is it that you wish to ask of me, Your Maje
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
