"After all your father is waiting to be rescued," Nola added again."Okay. So how do we get into the forbidden forest if it's sealed?” I asked."Leave it to me. We'll go alone. No one needs to know, including Mora, your uncle, or your beautiful girlfriend. Understand?" asked Nola.I caught a hint of jealousy when Nola called Sarah that way."Me and Sarah weren't related," I said. I don't know why I feel the need to explain."Whatever," replied Nola, as if she didn't care."We leave tomorrow night. Remember, no one can know," she added.The next night, Nola and I gathered at the village gate, ready to begin our journey into the forbidden forest. We try to move quietly so as not to attract anyone's attention."Are you sure we shouldn't tell Mora or my uncle about this plan?" I asked doubtfully.Nola looked at me sharply. "Ares, we are going to the forbidden forest for this dangerous mission. We can't risk their lives or involve more people than necessary. I know this is a difficult deci
Full of courage, Nola jumped into the air and plunged her sword into the dragon's skin. The dragon roared in agony but didn't give up so easily. He knocked Nola off his back. "Come on, Nola! Use your bow!" I called out to Nola. Nola nodded and aimed her last arrow at the dragon. Finally, the dragon fell to the ground trembling, its last breath escaping from its open mouth. We both breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that we had defeated the dragon. We looked at each other with a sense of victory and relief. “Come on, Ares! We continue our journey again, "said Nola. She wanted to get there quickly because this place was very dangerous. I nodded and we immediately walked further. We didn't know where to go and where the Tree of the Sleeping Devil was. However, our consciousness soon shifted to what was in front of us. Under the shadow of a lush tree, a large silhouette was sleeping peacefully. "Ares, be careful. Something is in here," whispered Nola in a trembling voice, gripping
The tree gave off a magical aura that felt so strong, showing the existence of an uncontrollable power. Seen between the branches there are several fruits that look sparkling with striking colors. They prove to be signs of strength and life that sleep in serenity, awaiting the moment when that power will be awakened.However, amidst the beauty and splendor of the tree, there was an indescribable feeling that filled the air. The gloomy and tense atmosphere created worry in our hearts. We felt the existence of the giant sleeping demon, so close and so threatening. But we know that our task will not be easy, and we must remain alert and courageous to face it.The two of us stood in the shadow of that eerie tree, feeling the vibrations of an evil power that filled the air. Nola stared at the gigantic demon with eyes full of courage, while I held my spear firmly in my hand, ready to fight back if needed.The tree looks so firm and sturdy, as if it is a guard for the devil sleeping in front
"On this journey, Jonathan Jones and the young totem warriors have been trapped in a place, where an exchange took place," the voice continued, providing a much needed clue.We both listened intently, digesting every word and taking it to heart. Just as we were planning to continue our dialogue with the tree, there was suddenly an electrifying sound.CRACK!I accidentally stepped on the sleeping demon's tail hard, waking it up from its long slumber. The demon let out an angry groan that made the sky tremble and made the ground shake.The ground shook under the awakened devil's angry might. Nola and I stand tall, ready to face the threat that comes our way. I have to admit that I was really scared right now.In the shadow of the dark sky, the demon stood tall with a height that reached the surrounding trees. Its large, muscular body was covered with sharp curves and spurs. His skin was pitch black, as if it was absorbing all the light around it. His eyes were fiery, radiating boundless
Nola and I were breathing heavily, trying to catch their breath after the intense battle. We held each other, supporting each other in their tiredness. While the demon lay helplessly on the ground, its formidable power had been paralyzed. I just realized that myself and Nola are covered in blood, I don't know how many attacks, but strangely I haven't felt the pain now.In the heavy silence, the tree's subtle voice sounded again, bringing calm after the disastrous battle. "Ares... Nola... you have overcome severe trials with great courage and perseverance. The strength within you is the light that will guide you to what you seek."Nola and I looked at each other with renewed conviction. They realized they had passed their first test, and their journey to rescue Jonathan Jones and the young totem warriors had only just begun.“Tell us about where the young totem warrior and my father, Jonathan Jones, disappeared,” I said, seizing the moment the Tree Spirit thanked him.In a moment of me
With swift and agile movements, I dashed in the opposite direction with the gap opened, dodging the attacks of the little demons trying to chase me. “Hey! Come catch me if you can!” I shouted. Nola took that opportunity to kill as many as possible while running toward the gap I pointed out. The burst of light he created gave me the chance to run. I ran as fast as I could towards the gap but suddenly appeared before me several devils with bloodshot eyes that were furious. Not wanting to give up, I tried to dodge their attacks with swift movements. I jumped, rolled, and swung my spear with all my might. Flashes of light and clangs of metal filled the air as my spear collided with the demons' claws. Even though I struggled with all my might, the number of demons continued to grow. I felt my strength getting drained, and my wounds getting more and more torturous. However, I persisted, relying on the determination and courage that burned in my heart. Meanwhile, Nola managed to escape t
“Oh, no…”From her expression, I could already guess something."It's running out?" I guessed.Nola took a deep breath.“We must move quickly before the sun sets. Come on!" I shouted.I groaned as I tried to stand up. The two of us might have made it out of the forbidden forest already, but might die in the forest of The Totem World if we didn't hurry. Our blood will attract many beasts to come closer and we will be seriously injured. Even the technological weapons from the capital were gone. This is really a very annoying situation.With hasty steps, we continued our journey through the forest of The Totem World. Our bodies were heavy and our wounds were excruciating, but our resolve to survive remained strong.We try to remember the paths we took as we seek our way back to our tribe. However, the state of the forest was noticeably more challenging than we remembered. Dense trees and streets that look alike made us even more confused. Every step we take is a gamble, as time is tickin
The two of us began to explore the bottom of the ravine, looking for a possible exit. Even though our wounds were painful and our energy was limited, we didn't lose hope.After walking for a while, I started to notice something. Something was throbbing in my pocket. I reached into my pocket and found the bark that the tree spirit of the forbidden forest had given me glowing brightly."Ares... what's wrong?" asked Nola.“This… I think this is a sign that we are close to The Golden Tree's existence,” I said.Nola's eyes widened when she heard my words. Nola looked at the glowing bark in awe. She knew how important The Golden Tree was in our quest. Maybe we can persuade The Guardian of The Golden Tree"With this bark, we might be close to The Golden Tree," said Nola in a hopeful voice. "Come on, let's keep looking for a way out. We have to find the tree and persuade The Guardian to give you her powers again."A new urge filled our hearts, and we continued their journey at the bottom of t
