181.Avocadolia Awaits You
"We’ve finished your training," Desirnight announced, its voice resonating like an echo in the vast expanse of the stadium. Two years had passed in that place, though in the real world, only two days had gone by. For Paltio, those two years had been a rollercoaster of challenges, sacrifices, and growth. Every blow received, every technique learned, had left its mark—both physical and mental.Paltio stopped in front of a mirror that suddenly appeared in the stadium, his reflection revealing the toll of the grueling training he had endured. His hair, now long from the time it had gone uncut, fell messily over his shoulders, framing a face marked by fresh scars and scratches. His clothes, once immaculate, were torn and practically destroyed, hanging in tatters on his body as a testament to every blow received and every battle fought.With a practical motion, he pulled a small object from his pocket—an old elastic band he had kept without thinking—and tied his hair into a high ponytail. T
182.The Planning (1)
The citizens available for combat gathered at the resistance base in Ban, gradually integrating with the local army. The atmosphere was tense but resolute, a reflection of the weight of the mission that lay ahead."Well, that’s all for today," Rodelos announced firmly, his gaze sweeping over those present. He had supervised every movement during training, carefully assessing whether everyone was ready for the challenge to come. Though some still showed signs of exhaustion, their faces radiated determination."How’s everything going here?" Ariafilis asked as he approached."Well… we’re doing what we can with the little time I’ve had," Rodelos replied with a weary sigh."You’re a good teacher," Alcho said from the ground, though his legs wouldn’t allow him to stand. "So good that I can’t even move anymore," the young man added with a strained smile, trying to lighten the mood."Thank you, sir," murmured some soldiers, bowing their heads in respect."It was an honor to train with the gre
183.The Planning (2)
In Tehtra, following the gathering of the shadows, the badger lords dispersed to their designated locations, where their armies awaited them.Troba—or rather, Galatea, disguised thanks to Meliradal’s magic—walked cautiously. She was visibly shaken by what she had witnessed during the meeting with the seven members of the Shadow Council. Her mission was clear: she had to inform her queen, Strongia, about everything that had transpired in order to prepare them for what was coming.The place was vast, and one could easily get lost, but fortunately for Galatea, the buildings were marked with distinctive colors that identified each shadow army. As she searched for her assigned position, something caught her attention: a hooded figure darted across a nearby alley. His dark, furtive silhouette aroused suspicion in her. Without hesitation, Galatea decided to follow him.She entered the alley quickly, but the figure had vanished. "Perhaps it’s just my imagination playing tricks on me," she tho
184.The Marine Dawn (1)
Paltio, Mok, and Lukeandria—the latter once again disguised as Pax—entered Avocadalia. The Red Shadow guards granted them passage without question. As the grand golden door opened, a contingent of soldiers awaited them on the other side. The place remained as eerie as they remembered: statues of red jade, representing the citizens, stood everywhere, casting long shadows under the dim light that moved with them."Just wait… you’ll see soon enough," Paltio murmured to himself, feigning disinterest as he casually tossed his bag aside, ensuring no one noticed. A confident smile spread across his face. "I don’t know what I’ll do yet, but I’ll free them from this curse."The carriage advanced slowly through the city streets until it reached the palace. At the entrance, Tejod awaited them, his expression calculating."Well, prince, what a fine carriage you’ve acquired," Tejod remarked sarcastically, eyeing the eccentric vehicle.Paltio and his companions stepped down from the carriage."Do y
185.The Marine Dawn (2)
Upon hearing the sound of soldiers marching and mobilizing from their posts, the group inside Paltio’s bag—Alita, Ron, Lucca, Rykaru, Toco-Toco, Nakia, Chiki, Lume, and Geki—prepared to act.Moments earlier, as they approached the gates of the realm, Paltio had said: "Well, guys, we’re almost at the kingdom’s gates.""So, what are we going to do?" Ron asked curiously, adjusting the makeshift backpack he was carrying."Well… I don’t know," Paltio admitted, scratching his head thoughtfully. "But what I came up with is that all of you get into the bag, and at the right moment, come out to support me.""That could work… if it weren’t for the immense army Tejod has in your kingdom," Lukeandria interjected seriously. "We can’t fight an entire army, not to mention the statues of the citizens scattered everywhere.""I hadn’t thought of that," Paltio murmured, frowning as he realized the magnitude of the problem."When do you ever think, Paltio? You almost never do," Alita teased with a half-s
186.The Marine Dawn (3)
"Well, brat, it’s time to go. Lord Tejod is waiting," one of the guards announced in an authoritative tone.Paltio rose from the chair without hesitation, ready to leave. Mok followed closely behind, but before he could cross the threshold, two guards crossed their spears in front of him, blocking his way. "Only the prince may go. You must stay, foolish butler," the guards sneered disdainfully."Mok," Paltio said, turning toward the scene, visibly irritated by the situation."Hey, I can’t go without my butler," the prince protested, trying to reason with them."Don’t bother, prince," another guard retorted, shoving him roughly to the ground. "Lord Tejod only wants you. Besides, be grateful that he hasn’t turned your butler into red jade and is letting him stay here peacefully."Paltio got to his feet, brushed the dust off his suit, and looked back at Mok. The latter calmly said, "It’s alright, young master. I’ll be fine. I’ll see you later," as if trying to convey confidence and preve

"Are you sure, cat? Did you look everywhere?" Chiki asked skeptically, raising an eyebrow at Toco-Toco."Of course! Who do you think I am, flea-bag?" the feline retorted with feigned indignation, raising his head haughtily."Calm down, don’t fight. This isn’t the time," Nakia interjected, stepping between them while spreading her wings in a gesture of peace."You’re right," Chiki admitted, though she spat on the ground to show her displeasure. "I’ve already searched ten times, and there were no more statues anywhere. I even checked some kind of bunker, and nothing. These were the last statues in the entire kingdom," the feline assured them firmly."So where could my daddy’s parents be?" Rykaru asked, looking at the others with worry in his eyes. His voice trembled slightly, reflecting his distress."Could that damn Tejod have destroyed them and made Paltio work all this time for nothing?" Ron said, clenching his fists in frustration."I don’t think so," Mok replied thoughtfully. "Thou
188.The Marine Dawn (5)
The Shadow Council had succeeded in extinguishing the life of the Scepter of Avocios—the last flame of light on the planet. Everything was now ruled by shadows; the already darkened skies grew even darker, and the moon began to be engulfed by the rising sea, surging with immense power like a geyser. The water that rose was no ordinary water but magical—once an ancient light and pure entity, it had become inert and putrid after the emergence of the shadows, as dark as nothingness itself. The water surged higher and higher, piercing through the sky and blocking out the moon, as if slowly filling it from within.Once the water completely covered the moon, it radiated a black flash. The moon resembled an eclipse, but instead of being purely dark, it appeared as some kind of portal. The Marine Dawn had begun. "Finally," said a voice emanating from the moon. "I will finally be free," the voice declared."Our lord," the councilors intoned, kneeling before the voice. Tejod did the same, and e
189.The Marine Dawn (6)
Paltio’s friends were about to arrive in their tank-carriage when Mok noticed something strange. He furrowed his brow, glancing around uneasily. “Wait a moment… What’s going on here?” he murmured under his breath. According to his calculations, this place should have been shrouded in thick mist, but now everything was unnervingly clear. He could see every detail of the road without effort.“What’s wrong, Mok? Are we not there yet?” Alita asked, watching him curiously as he remained lost in thought.“It’s odd, Alita. This place was supposed to be covered by mist, but now everything is visible. Even the path looks cleaner,” Mok replied, pointing toward the horizon with a worried gesture.“Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Maybe we still have some way to go,” Ron interjected, adjusting the strap of his backpack as he spoke.“No, I’m certain. According to my map,
190.Urugas
“Foolish child,” Urugas said in a voice that resonated like distorted thunder, “Who would have thought that you were the one preventing my arrival. Now you will serve a purpose. Do not resist; you cannot escape those threads.”Paltio was immobilized, trapped in a lethal web of lightning that held him motionless before the horror unfolding before him. With supernatural speed, Tejod drew an enormous sword from his cloak—a weapon that seemed to have been concealed in some magical space, similar to Paltio’s bag or Mok’s combat coat. Without hesitation, he drove the blade directly into the boy’s heart.“Die,” Tejod hissed with a cruel smile, twisting the sword before pulling it out.Paltio felt his entire world fade, his hopes vanishing like smoke in the wind. In that instant, images of his life flashed rapidly through his mind: happy moments with his friends, laughter shared with his family, adventures lived alongside those he loved. Everything seemed to crumble as he fell to his knees, u
