Ramsay and Esther finally returned to the others, their steps heavy with what they had learned, but they found Ragmus lying lifeless on the ground—dead. Neither of them was worried about that since they knew Ragmus must have been killed because of the Syrics.

Noah, Redrick Mike, Kylie, Lilia, Ryn, Tracy, Hawk, Camelia, and Benjamin stood in stunned silence after hearing what Esther and Ramsay had told them. Each of them had battled monsters, both outside and within—but nothing prepared them for the unsettling truth Ramsay and Esther brought back with them which is, "The Sa'ers. The Great Kings. The other reality. The memories. And what was yet to come".

In the Dark Mountain, time had no real meaning. With no sun to rise or moon to fall, days and nights blurred into endless shadow. No one could truly say how long Ramsay and Esther had been gone. But now that they were back, the need to leave the mountain became more urgent than ever.

Yet no plan could be made—not until Ragmus returned.

  • THE MOUNTAIN SOUL

    It had already been decided—there was no turning back. If they wanted to leave this cursed mountain alive, they would have to go straight to its heart.Noah, Redrick, Ramsay, Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, Camelia, and Kylie all drew their swords. The metallic rasp of steel echoed faintly in the room, like the mountain itself was listening.Tracy, with only her golden arrow remaining, gripped the two long knives strapped to her thighs. She flexed her fingers as though preparing herself for the close-quarters fight to come. Ragmus, broad and imposing, needed no weapon at all—his claws, his pointy tails, and raw strength were more dangerous than any blade. Still, they all knew what awaited them: the soul of the mountain, a living force that would not let them pass unchallenged.Before they set out, Mike crouched beside the unconscious Esther. Her breathing was steady, but she looked pale and fragile in the cold glow of the cavern. Mike brushed off the dust of Esther's hair

  • THE WAY OUT

    The Sa’ers explained that their power no longer worked on Esther the way it once had. Her soul itself had blocked them from exerting full control. But that didn’t sever their bond—she was still linked to them, just as they were to her. The only change was that now, there were limits: only specific things could reach her, and putting her to sleep against her will happened to be one of them.When Esther suddenly fell to her knees, it wasn’t weakness or sudden pain—it was the Sa’ers forcing her into unconsciousness. They wanted to fulfill a promise: to show her what they had done in creating the new reality, and to reveal pieces of the old reality she had missed. For that, she had to be asleep.However, even while unconscious, Esther remained aware of her surroundings. She could feel the danger closing in on her family in the mountain. She refused to let anything happen to them. Twice, she shattered her connection with the Sa’ers to intervene in the fight, and twice she rejoined them to

  • FRUITS?

    Noah, Ragmus, Redrick, Ramsay, Camelia, Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Tracy, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, and Kylie walked through the narrow passage into a hollowed chamber deep within the mountain. The air inside was cool and still, with a faint mineral tang, as though the mountain itself were holding its breath.Ragmus knew this place well. It was one of his hidden retreats, a room carved out of sight whenever he slipped away from the mountain’s watch. No one really understood how such rooms existed—whether they were part of the mountain’s body or something older buried inside it—but they were real enough.The room was bare except for a single leather bag in the corner. Whatever lay inside was unknown, but no one had asked questions yet. Without a word, they all sank to the ground, dropping their weapons to the ground- too exhausted from the constant climbing and fighting to care about the cold stone floor.Esther remained unconscious, her weight cradled carefully in Redrick’s arms even after he s

  • ESTHER AGAIN

    The mountain could only watch as its minions fell one after another, their black ichor painting the ground. Noah’s wings cut through the air like a living shield, Ragmus’ tails shattered bones with every strike, and Ramsay’s blade moved so fast it blurred, severing Syrics’ heads as if they were made of paper. Redrick’s sword crushed skulls, Camelia’s twin swords cut through heads like a butcher, and Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, and Kylie fought back-to-back, leaving no opening. Overhead, Tracy’s golden arrow wove in and out of the swarm, drilling through Syrics’ skulls before looping back for another strike.Whatever Esther had done to them, it was working. Their movements were sharper, faster, stronger—too much for the Syrics to handle. The mountain felt its control slipping. Rage trembled through the cavern walls."Enough!", the mountain decided, "If my minions can’t kill them, I’ll bury them all".With a guttural rumble, massive slabs of stone ripped free from the ce

  • ANCHOR OF SURVIVOR

    The battle inside the mountain raged on without end, the air thick with the stench of blood and scorched stone. The Syrics hurled themselves forward in wave after wave, their speed climbing to a maddening level — yet still, they managed to land no decisive blow on their targets.Noah, Ragmus, Esther, Redrick, Ramsay, Camelia, Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Tracy, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, and Kylie fought without pause, their movements a brutal rhythm of death. Mercy had no place here — each strike was meant to kill.Ragmus circled the others like a living fortress, his claws, teeth, and barbed tails severing heads with savage efficiency. Noah, wings half-unfurled, moved between swordplay and magic, every motion deadly, every burst of power carving through the enemy ranks. Ramsay’s blade-work was unmatched, his movements as precise as they were lethal, his own magic shielding allies alongside Noah.Tracy was the battlefield’s watchful eye, her golden arrow weaving and diving through the enemy swarm

  • WE GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT

    As countless Syrics crawled down from above toward them, everyone saw Mike courageously step back into the middle, his sword unsheathed. His expression was that of a man fully prepared for what was coming.Upon reaching the center, Mike said bluntly, “Stop staring at the Syrics and gather around me.”It was almost as if his words carried an enchantment—everyone moved toward him without hesitation, forming a tight circle around him. Mike continued, his voice unwavering.“You all heard the mountain after it blocked the paths. It wants to kill us here. This is where it wants us—an arena of blood. Blood is what it wants, so we’re going to give it exactly that.”Then Mike turned to Ramsay and said to him, “We need more starlight surrounding the entire area. Our sight must be sharp, and we must see everything if we’re going to survive the Syrics. Vision and speed will be our lifeline".Everyone was taken aback—not just by what Mike said, but by the way he reacted the moment he saw the Syric
