I was silent in the darkness of the room, my eyes closed tightly. Controlling my breath, I focused on the bright spot that was starting to shine in the darkness of my head. The strength I had just discovered radiated from within me. The light was so strong, but its warmth enveloped me with tenderness.Slowly, I began to feel myself being lifted from my bed. I am no longer bound by the physical limits of my body. It was a freedom I had never felt before. My body, now just a shadow, looked peaceful lying on the bed.Determined, I decided to visit Rex's dream. He, my best friend who had been beside me from the start, had to know about the danger that threatened Nola. By diverting their attention, I hoped to give them a chance to prepare themselves.However, when I entered dreamland, I saw them, sitting three of them. Mora, Nola, and Rex. The three of them hadn't fallen asleep at all.Rex and Nola were sitting in the living room, their heads buried in maps and old books containing ancient

For a moment, I saw Nola as if she could see me. Her eyes were wide open, and she clearly recognized my presence. A tear rolled out of her eyelid, reflecting the magic behind our meeting.“Nola!” I exclaimed hopefully.At a glance, I could see her nodding, and her lips curved into a smile. However, suddenly she closed her eyes and her body fell limp. The medical team around her began to move faster, working non-stop in an effort to save her.Mora, even though she looked worried, didn't waste any time. She spoke firmly, "This poison has started to spread to her heart. We need a special healing potion, right now!""The concoction still needs ten more minutes," said one of the medical team members in a worried tone."Damn it!" shouted Mora, her eyes radiating determination to save Nola."Can it be accelerated, Mora?" Rex asked in a trembling voice, his worry clearly visible on his face.Mora shook her head slowly, giving the bad news that the potion-making process could not be accelerate

The two people seemed to have reached the limit of their patience. I could see their tense faces and eyes shining with despair. “That's bullshit,” I snapped in a shaky voice, trying to defend Nola and clarify that their accusations were baseless.However, before I could do more, suddenly the two people started to look unwell. Their faces were pale, their eyes were blank, and they began to sway back and forth before finally falling to the ground. There was a roar among us, screams and cries of panic filled the air. We were all shocked, unable to believe what had just happened.“No!”Mora immediately ran towards the two people, panic clearly visible on her face. "Quick, we need help here!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with anxiety. The tribe members who were nearby immediately rushed over, trying to provide help. However, when Mora checked the two people's heartbeats, her expression immediately changed to an expression of deep sorrow. "It's too late...," she whispered in a hollow voi

I stared at his face in deep confusion, trying to understand the meaning of his words."Severus? Who is he? Did he order you?" I asked."Severus," he repeated.However, the answer still didn't provide any clues. Instead, her body slumped from my grasp. Slowly and silently, he fell to the damp ground of the forest, his last breath slipping out in a halting gasp.I froze for a moment at this eerie scene, the realization of death so sudden and unexpected. He had gone, taking with him the mystery of Severus and whatever secrets he might have carried.“Damn...”I was forced to lift the lifeless body. Carefully, I decided to take his body back to camp. Our footprints are scratched in the damp earth, drawing dark marks on the earth that has witnessed this mysterious death."Call all the tribal leaders," I said to one of the tribesmen who saw me carrying this body.“O-okay, General,” he replied before running away.Soon the tribal leaders came from their camps. Rex left the medical camp after

My steps continued to run as fast as I could, even though the dense forest tried to pull me into its embrace. The giant branches brushed the breeze as if to guide me through this secret corridor of nature. The humid air hugs every fiber, carrying the scent of wet earth and fresh leaves. Sunlight danced through the green leaves, marking the path that I hoped would lead me to Nola. However, the longer it goes on, the emptier it becomes. Every corner of the forest looks the same, and Nola's traces are increasingly eroded by this fierce nature. The strength within me began to run out, and my body collapsed in exhaustion, falling into the darkness of unconsciousness.A scream broke the silence of the forest, calling my name over and over again. However, I had sunk into the gray-white of unconsciousness.When my eyes finally opened again, the gray world slowly faded, replaced by a soft light that enveloped the tent. Mora was beside me, her face full of concern. "Ares, you're back," she whis
