Jordan and Lucia were seated under a tree; at this point, the night was already setting in, and it was almost time for them to head out.Jordan had a question he wanted to ask, and he hadn't looked for the best time to do so, but now seemed to be the best time. He took in a deep breath before asking, "Why have you chosen to follow us, and in surprise, you knew anything about the mission?"Jordan had been very curious about this exact question; it’s as though she knew every single thing about the mission and Jordan, and for once, he told her."There's a prophecy that my mother showed to me, that I will accompany someone into a mission that will bring the balance of all lands and tribes and will prevent a great catastrophe from happening."Jordan stared at her as she spoke, but he had more questions he would have to ask: "What about your grandmother? Will she be fine?"Lucia sobbed before resting her head on Jordan's shoulder. "I don't really know, but she was brave enough to help me."

Each step sent uneasiness down their spines. The ground was filled with blood and skulls of dead people. Jordan had never imagined that this is how the Dark Castle would be; perhaps this is why it was called the Dark Castle, because every single thought about it smelled of danger.Lucia was standing close to Jordan. While moving forward, she was also scared; never in her life had she been this scared.Jordan noticed how her body was shivering.

He was feeling uneasiness clouding his body. He turned around but couldn't make sense of what he w

Jordan, knowing he is the only one who has the chance of defeating this monster before them, took a deep breath before mumbling, "If fighting you till death is the only way to stop your evil plans from happening, then I will do that with all due respect."After he said this, he lifted Lucia from the ground into his hands, and in the next second, he vanished from the ground, then appeared where Ethan was. "She is yours; keep her safe."Jordan, at this point, had awakened something inside of him; he felt extremely strong, and at the same time, he had this feeling within him that the Dark Lord would still want to attack Ethan and Lucia. Jordan was now faced with a task: to defeat the Dark Lord and at the same time protect Ethan and Lucia."Prepare yourself, because you are going to be facing someone very powerful, and I won't resist holding back on you.
