"I wonder how far Mok went... It already feels like so much time has passed," Paltio thought, feeling a growing concern for his friend. The young man paced back and forth in the small room, walking its length several times due to its confined size."Calm down," Alita and Ron said in unison, trying to soothe him. They knew Mok was skilled and wouldn’t be easily captured; plus, he had his stealth and the powers of his magical rings on his side."It’s just that it’s the first time he’s been separated from me for this long," Paltio explained, nervously clenching and unclenching his fists as he moved them up and down."Hey! Why didn’t you ask Golden to read that Mejod guy’s mind?" Ron suddenly asked."Yeah, that’s right! You could’ve done that from the start, Paltio," Alita added."Of course I thought of that! It was my first idea," Paltio replied, frustrated. "And yes, I asked Golden. But he said he couldn’t read the badger’s mind… Not even the guards or anyone in this kingdom. All he hear

Everyone gathered around the pineapple girl, whose expression conveyed seriousness as she observed each of them one by one. After a few seconds of silence, she took a deep breath and said: "Alright, I’ll tell you," reaching into her pocket to pull out an old, worn book that she had been carrying. The object looked ancient and battered, bearing marks of heavy use that hinted at its importance."I’m here to rescue someone who is very important and who can turn the tide in our favor."The group stared at her, astonished. Who could be so important that she and her team would risk their lives for them?She began to explain: "After you left for Avocadolia, Lukeandria, my team and I received intel from a reliable source. The purple shadows had captured a powerful being with extraordinary abilities. So, we decided to take on this mission."Paris continued, describing her team in a tone both proud and nostalgic: "Chip, the tomato, is our expert in traps and explosives. He always carries some g

From the walls emerged several enormous eyes, and from them shot beams directly at Paltio and his team. They were on the verge of annihilation when Mok, with astonishing speed, used his knives as reflective mirrors to deflect the attacks, saving them from certain death."Thank you, Mok," Paltio said, exhaling in relief."That was too close," Paris murmured, still trembling with fear."We need to get Kilibur out of there soon," Golden urged, his voice tense with urgency."No! Friend, run… That monster is extremely dangerous," warned the young fox, his voice heavy with anguish."We’re not leaving you here," Paltio responded firmly.The eyes fired laser beams again toward the group, but Mok once more countered them with his knives."Master, if you’re going to free him from that machine, do it quickly. I can’t keep this up for much longer," Mok cautioned, his tone betraying a hint of fatigue.Paltio ran toward where Kilibur was seated, determined to remove the helmet. But as soon as he tr

Moments earlier, Kilibur had been removed from the machine when something strange began to happen across the realm. Slowly, the citizens stopped repeating—or even thinking—the words that had dominated their minds for so long: “We are all friends, and Mejod is a great leader.”However, shortly after, emotions and thoughts began to shift. The citizens no longer carried out their daily tasks; instead, they felt strange, confused, as if something within them had been altered. Gradually, they began interacting with one another, noticing unsettling details: some figures in armor, who once wore the colors of the realm, now bore dark uniforms marked with a distinctive purple insignia. It was clear they had been under a powerful illusion, but now that illusion was starting to fade.The citizens, feeling a mix of curiosity and alarm, began gathering in small groups that quickly grew in number. Plazas and streets filled with people murmuring among themselves.“I think we’re under attack by the P

Kilibur placed his index finger on Paltio’s forehead and connected him to the search plane. However, this time, the environment wasn’t as distorted as before."Why does it look normal?" Paltio asked, glancing around curiously."Well, that’s because of my power," Kilibur replied with a smile. "I’ve removed all illusions from this place, leaving it in its original form: a clean space without so much madness.""Alright, let’s focus on why we’re here," Paltio said, regaining his composure.Suddenly, Rykaru appeared floating beside Paltio. The prince sighed, still wondering how the little creature managed to sneak into these moments unnoticed.A door opened in front of them, revealing a long passageway. Kilibur pointed the way."You must follow it, Paltio."The young prince advanced with Rykaru in his arms, while Golden suddenly appeared next to Kilibur."Hey, you should’ve asked me before doing that," Golden said, crossing his arms."Yes, but there was no time," Kilibur responded with a m
