In a huff, Sarah walked near Layan and whispered, "Is my brother flirting with you?" Layan was shocked by the question and stopped dead in her tracks, staring at Sarah. Sarah rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Yeah, like it's not obvious. We all know he's flirting with you... Don't act surprised." She continued walking, catching up with the others, which infuriated Layan. Layan ran after her, grabbing her and pulling her back. "You can't just say that and walk away like you did nothing." Sarah feigned innocence. "What did I say? What did I do?" Layan hissed through clenched teeth, "We all?! Who are you? And what gave you that idea?" Sarah smirked with irritation, "His actions and your eyes give you away... Listen, I don't mind. You're not so bad, and I think my mom will like you... But I'm mad about one thing... Why is he getting in my way? I really like Major Muhammad... Why does he forbid me from something he allows himself?" She threw out her last words with a mix of jealousy an

The ground trembled with the echo of the gunshot as Taymour squeezed the trigger. The bullet shot out of the pistol's muzzle like a flash of lightning, cleaving the air toward Saber's chest. But in that crucial moment, Maher lunged forward like a meteor, his body shimmering with a blinding flash of light. He extended his arm with incredible speed, grabbing his uncle and pulling him away. The bullet pierced the cave wall behind them, scattering into sharp fragments. Saber gasped in shock, unable to believe he was still alive. Meanwhile, Taymour quickly summoned his men. "Capture Maher! I want him alive!" Maher swiftly used a laser beam to free his uncle Saber's bonds and pulled him to safety behind a rock. "Uncle, stay here and don't expose yourself to danger. He doesn't want you; he wants what I have." A ferocious smile spread across Taymour's lips. "You can't escape! You've walked right into your own demise!" he screamed. Suddenly, Sven the Vile released his shadows, which spread

He was crucified on a flat table, which he knew to be a dissecting table by its feel. He was shackled, his hands and feet bound, and his eyes covered with a black blindfold that plunged his vision into darkness. Maher breathed with difficulty through his nose, his mouth still stuffed with fabric to prevent his screams. He was indeed a prisoner of Timur's evil. All he could truly think about was what would happen to humanity after him. What would happen to his family, relatives, and loved ones? If Maher lost this battle, it meant the world had lost, that evil had triumphed over good. Maher took a deep breath; he had to fight to his last breath. He wouldn't surrender, and even if he lost, he would die standing, without retreat or submission. Timur's voice pierced the silence; it seemed he had returned, ready to begin his wicked plan. Maher felt a cold gust of air on his bare chest. He was planning to steal the Seal. The Seal was protected by a fortified spell, and Timur couldn't get it

As soon as Maher finished uttering the incantation, the trees began to sway violently, as if an unseen force was pushing them. Their branches hit each other with a terrifying screeching sound. The air whistled mournfully, dragging behind it dry leaves that swirled into a raging vortex, rising from the ground in a frightening spiral. The ground began to tremble beneath Maher's feet, cracking as if it was about to swallow him and everything around him. The sky was covered with dark shadows, hiding the sun's disk as if it had been blotted out. The shadows began to gather and undulate like the blackest of sea waves. They coiled and rose, forming a terrifying entity—a Saven of Hatred, similar to the Saven of Oblivion but far more hideous, with prominent red eyes, long sharp fangs, and thick gray lips. His long ears protruded from the black hood that fell from his head to his feet, concealing the ugliness of his body, which was revealed by his massive, long, octopus-like arms. His appearan

Maher laughed softly. "Do you think we've died and gone to heaven? Not yet, my friend. We still have a long way to go. Wake up and gather your strength." Raad let out the breath he hadn't realized he was holding, shouting with immense joy, "Damn it, man... just in the nick of time! I never thought seeing you would make me this happy." They both laughed as Al-Tha'aqib headed back to the others. --- Sarah was feeling frustrated and Layan was comforting her, while Muhammad's condition worsened due to the spreading poison. "Why can't I see anything? I can't lose my ability at this critical moment." Al-Tha'aqib's voice rang out as it descended towards them like a hawk. Layan and Sarah rushed forward, waiting for it to land. As soon as Layan's eyes fell upon Maher, she screamed with happiness and threw herself into his arms. "Brother! Oh my God, I thought you were dead! Why were you so late? We missed you so much," she sobbed again. Layan breathed a sigh of relief; their leader had f
