"5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Ready!" Krasper shouted forcefully, his voice resonating with determination.But just before they could act, Meliradal raised a hand, interrupting the moment."Wait! Hold on," she said quickly, her sharp eyes inspecting the container attentively. "I see it’s covered by the four elements: Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. Invisible to you, but not to me."Krasper nodded, understanding the situation."Alright, then…"Meliradal didn’t wait any longer. From her hands surged powerful whirlwinds of energy that began displacing something invisible around the artifact. Gradually, the four elements manifested, surrounding the prison like living barriers. With a precise motion, Meliradal condensed the elements into a small box that glowed intensely. When she buried it in the ground, a great light erupted in the sky, illuminating the firmament for a brief moment and dispelling any trace of the oppressive forces."Done, it’s gone. Now we can continue," Meliradal said, wiping the sweat

"What was all that, Professor?" asked Karpi, studying the monitor intently. "The energy levels the machine was showing have returned to normal.""Yes, it would seem so," replied Professor Kuang, adjusting his glasses as he analyzed the remaining data. A shadow of concern crossed his face. "Something serious has occurred, but we’d better investigate what happened in each of the affected locations." In his mind, he began connecting these events to the visit of the hooded figure in Fuertelia. Perhaps similar beings had entered each realm."Professor, but nothing strange happened here," interjected Ariafilis, frowning."Not in your realm, no," explained the professor, pointing to a specific spot on the holographic map. "But something nearby occurred on the outskirts of your domain. However, you won’t see it now because it’s gone.""We need to investigate," suggested Rodelos urgently. "Perhaps we should send someone to look into the neighboring realm." He then glanced at the professor, not

"So, a crystal of light and darkness… I like that name," said Ludra, gazing with fascination at the object before her. Its dark glow pulsed with latent energy, as if it were alive."Lady Ludra, what do we do with this thing now? Should we destroy it?" asked Dall, his innocent tone revealing both his inexperience and curiosity."Well, I don’t know what we can do with it. The best thing would be to contact the professor or Karpi to figure out our next move," replied Ludra, crossing her arms as she examined the dark crystal carefully. Her tone was practical, but there was an undertone of uncertainty in her voice."And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" asked Jock, frowning. "I doubt any signals will reach us here." He looked around, assessing the rocky walls and low ceiling of the cave. "Besides, how are we even going to get out of here?" he added, letting out a frustrated sigh.Ludra took out her communicator shell and tried to establish contact, but all she heard was static. "I t

"Lord Tertrol, I’m almost done with what we had planned. Very soon, we’ll be able to put it into operation," said Meloc, adjusting one of the devices in his hand as he spoke. His tone was enthusiastic but laced with nervousness."Good, then very soon I will defeat that despicable Tejod," replied Tertrol, his voice deep and filled with hatred. "Every bone, every scream, every memory will be a delight for me." His words echoed like a dark refrain, brimming with a thirst for vengeance that seemed to consume him entirely. It was clear that Tejod represented more than just a simple enemy; he was an obstacle blocking Tertrol’s path, a ghost that needed to be exorcised.The two were conversing when, suddenly, the surrounding air distorted. A kind of rift appeared in the space before them, as if the very fabric of reality had torn apart. From the rift emerged a being cloaked in black robes, its hood completely obscuring its face. Nothing could be seen beneath that shadow, but its presence was

"If I assemble this here and that over there, and with that thing... Yes, yes, it’ll work!" Professor Kuang muttered to himself as he frantically worked on his new technological masterpiece. His hands moved with surgical precision, placing components and adjusting connections with an enthusiasm bordering on obsession. Finally, after securing the last pieces, he began laughing as if possessed by some maniacal spirit."That’s good, right, Chip?" Paris asked upon hearing the professor’s chilling laugh, its intensity seemingly capable of shaking the laboratory walls."Well, whenever the professor creates something new, it usually works," Chip replied with a shrug, though his expression hinted at cautious skepticism."Alright, everyone, this new invention will help us," announced the professor, still wearing that unsettling smile that inspired more fear than confidence. "It’s time to test it, and I need a test subject. Any volunteers?"Chip and Paris exchanged glances, and without hesitati
