“It’s a shame we couldn’t do the same in Hassdalia,” murmured Paltio, a tinge of sadness coloring his voice as he gazed out the carriage window. His face was shadowed, weighed down by memories that seemed to press heavily on his shoulders. Alita sat silently, lost in thought, her eyes reflecting a deep melancholy but also something more—a quiet internal conflict that appeared to be slowly consuming her.

“Hey, did the mouse eat your tongue or what?” Ron interrupted, breaking the uncomfortable silence with his usual jesting tone. He glanced at Alita with a forced smile, attempting to lighten the mood. “Why so serious, friend?”

Alita snapped abruptly out of her trance, blinking several times before responding. She lifted her gaze toward Ron, though her eyes remained distant, as if seeing something far beyond him.

“No, it’s nothing… I think I was just lost in my thoughts and didn’t notice. Sorry,” she replied softly, her shyness almost tangible. Yet, no sooner had she finished speaking th

    "You're alive!" exclaimed Alita, breathing a deep sigh of relief as a smile lit up her face. But at first, she had been startled by the sound of Ron's voice, and upon looking closer, she noticed something different about him.Ron met her gaze, still disoriented. "I’m fine… I think," he said, but as he glanced down at his body, he realized he was entirely covered in a strange, dark green layer, like some kind of protective shell. The tip of the sword-like hair that had pierced him fell to the ground; apparently, it hadn’t hit any vital spot thanks to that armor, which had rapidly healed his tissues."Ron, but how?" asked Alita, both awestruck and confused."I don’t know," he replied, staring at his arms in amazement. "I just wanted to protect you with all my heart, and then… something covered me completely." His skin now had a hardened texture and faintly shimmered under the light, like natural armor. "I don’t know what it was, but it made me remember things… things my grandfather used

    “What?! What has happened?! Ron, boy!” Mok shouted from below, his voice thick with disbelief as he stared at the sword-strand impaling Ron’s back.“Poor fool,” Pax muttered from her position, her tone a mix of sarcasm and sorrow. “That’s why those who think they’re heroes always end up dead.”“Ron!” Paltio called out desperately, his voice cracking as he watched the scene unfold from atop Toco-Toco. Guilt and helplessness overwhelmed him.“Stay calm, lad,” Golden said firmly but compassionately within his mind. “You must press on and defeat that thing. Honor your fallen friend.”Alita, still on the ground, tried to lift Ron while sobbing uncontrollably. “I didn’t think… you were this heavy, Ron. I just thought you were annoying, but literally, you weigh a ton,” she stammered, attempting a nervous joke to distract herself from the panic consuming her. “What am I even saying?” she scolded herself, her trembling hands resting on Ron’s motionless body. “Please, get up, you idiot. Don’t l

    The true form of Troba was more horrifying than Maxin and Ragil could ever have imagined. “She looks horrendous,” both sisters remarked in unison. The villain had transformed into a colossal beast, her eyes gleaming with a malevolent light while her monstrous body cast ominous shadows over the battlefield.“Pay dearly, all of you!” Troba roared, opening her massive maw to devour everyone present. Her voice thundered like a dark storm, shaking the very air around them.“Look out!” Mok shouted as he sprinted to the front lines. With practiced skill, he hurled his knives into the air, forming a shimmering silver shield that spun rapidly, deflecting some of Troba’s attacks.“Everyone, evacuate the area!” Galatea commanded, her steady voice cutting through the chaos. “Those who can fight, join me.”Without hesitation, several warriors rushed toward her, ready to confront the beast. Among them was Ron, who grabbed Alita by the arm. “We’d better go,” he urged, but she shook her head vehement

    "So, you’ve seen her true form?" they all asked at once."No," Lukeandria replied, her voice tight with a barely perceptible shiver. "But I saw her face—ghastly, wrinkled. If we can force her back into that state, she’ll be drained of energy. Plus, we need to get that guitar away from her... and shut that snout of hers." A wry smile curved her lips. "Then maybe we’ll have a chance to break her hold on the others.""I think she wanted me for some kind of body-swapping ritual or something," Lukeandria mused, crossing her arms and furrowing her brow."I see..." Alita murmured, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "That might be our way in. She doesn’t know we escaped. If we can lure her out, we could set a trap—but first, we need to cut off her source of power. We have to rescue Paltio and the others."The girls pressed forward through a damp, narrow tunnel winding beneath the castle. Their footsteps echoed softly off the walls, the air thick with moisture. At last, they reached the door. Luke

    "Seriously?" Maxin and Ragil chuckled at the name."You looked better as Pax," they said in unison, sharing a mischievous glance."I think it's a good name," Alita offered with a friendly smile toward the girl."Yeah, whatever, kid," Lukeandria replied in an indifferent tone, though her eyes hinted at discomfort."Kid? We're the same age," Alita shot back with a smirk."I always thought it was odd how short a soldier you were."Lukeandria scowled, but before she could reply, her expression hardened."Now that you’ve seen my face… I have no choice but to eliminate you all, to keep my secret hidden."Her voice was steady, but a flicker of doubt crossed her gaze."Sure, sure," Alita replied with a casual wave, brushing off the threat.Still, Lukeandria studied them seriously—and for a moment, it wasn’t clear if she meant it.Before she could act, Galatea stepped in."You’ll have to deal with Troba first. She saw your face before any of us.""You're right," Lukeandria admitted after a bri
