"Men, get him! Then we’ll split the loot once we’ve stripped him clean," the woman said, unsheathing a sword with a sinister glint in her eyes. The other thugs quickly followed suit, brandishing improvised weapons and closing in on Mok with hostile intent.A group of men approached from behind, but Mok spun with elegance, avoiding every attempted strike with precise movements. "I don’t want to harm you. Just give me the information, and we’ll leave," he said calmly, his composed voice contrasting sharply with the tension in the air.As he spoke, he dodged attacks with the grace of an expert dancer. They came at him from all sides—swords, fists, and kicks aimed directly at him—but the butler blocked and deflected each one without losing his composure. Not a drop of sweat appeared on his brow, nor a speck of dust marred his impeccable suit."Wow, that butler is really good," Lucca murmured from a corner, watching in awe as Mok moved as if part of a perfectly choreographed performance. "

"Is there another god besides Avocios?" Golden wondered aloud, his voice thoughtful. "Perhaps one of his brothers... Who could this Serlet be that Lucca mentioned so much?"Golden continued to ponder in silence as he watched Paltio train with Toco-Toco. The purple light Lucca described, and the fact that this being had gifted such valuable weaponry, intrigued him deeply. "Who could it be? And why would one of Avocios’s siblings be around here?" he questioned himself, searching for answers in his mind but finding no clear conclusion.Meanwhile, Paris and Kilibur were arriving in a frozen desert. The landscape was desolate: enormous dunes covered in ice shimmered under the faint moonlight, and the icy air cut like invisible blades.Paris stopped in front of the group. "We must dismount and follow a narrow path on foot," she instructed calmly.Kilibur nodded and dismissed the illusory horses with an elegant gesture. Without wasting time, they began to make their way along the narrow trai

"Hey, Paltio’s grandfather," Ron began as they walked in a line alongside others who had been rescued from Pinkertalia, "This place is way too hot. Even though there’s no sun thanks to Tejod, the weather is still scorching and oppressive." He paused for a moment to wipe the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.Rodelos, who led the group with steady strides, turned his head slightly toward Ron. A faint smile crossed his face. "Well now, boy, I always thought you were the strongest. But I see you’re acting like a Trishap."Ron frowned, offended. "A Trishap? I’m nothing like that! I’m strong!" he exclaimed, lifting his gaze with determination. However, his words rang more like a defense of his pride than a confident declaration. He resumed walking, gritting his teeth as he kept his thoughts to himself."A Trishap is an animal with the head of a chicken and the body of a monkey," Alita explained to Chip with an amused smile. "They’re very cowardly creatures.""I see," Chip r

"Chip, it really is you! I'm so glad you’re alive!" Paris exclaimed, tears in her eyes as she ran toward him. Her voice trembled with emotion, and when she reached him, she hugged him tightly, as if afraid he might disappear again."So, is that him?" 'X' asked, watching as Paris excitedly approached Chip. His tone was calm but laced with curiosity."Yes, it’s him," Karpi confirmed, adjusting the special glasses he wore. "I’d recognize him from a mile away," he added proudly, tapping his lenses. "These let me see details others wouldn’t notice.""Enough," the leader commanded firmly, and everyone obeyed immediately. The chaos of the battlefield gave way to an awkward yet hopeful silence.Chiki and Nakia, for their part, were relieved to see Alita and Ron among those present. Nakia was the first to approach, smiling broadly. Chiki, though more reserved, also felt relief—though he wouldn’t admit it easily."Wow, kids, we thought you were dead," Nakia said sincerely, placing one of her wi

"Mr. Butler, I still don’t quite understand why Tejod gave Paltio all that time until something called the Marine Dawn occurs," Lucca asked while taking a sip of tea. His tone was curious but also tinged with concern, as if sensing there was something deeper behind that decision."It’s a good question," Mok replied, setting his cup down gently on the table. "But I don’t have the answer. All I know is that it’s when the water visibly changes due to the rising of the waves, almost as if it wants to reach the moon. This phenomenon happens at Roca Marina, in the Sea of Mist, near our kingdom. It’s a unique event that occurs once every thousand years."Mok paused before continuing: "I don’t know why he specifically chose that moment as the deadline. Perhaps it’s part of some greater plan, but only Tejod knows for sure.""I see… So it’s a unique phenomenon, and the water rises so high it almost seems to touch the moon. Impressive, but there’s definitely something fishy about it," Lucca refl
