ELDORIA
THE ELDORIA 14

As the heroes continued their journey after receiving the message from the Elduah of the Eternal Village, the atmosphere within the group became tense. They walked through the dense forest, with Elysia leading in front, followed by Lyra, Arin, Dharon, and Drako.

Elysia felt something was wrong. He glanced at Arin who was walking beside him. Arin, who is usually full of vigor and energy, looks restless and worried.

"Elysia," whispered Arin softly, "There has been something troubling my mind since we left the village. Message from the Eternal Village. He said that I would lose the people I love."

Elysia understood the uneasiness of her friend. He felt the same dilemma. "Arin, I feel divided too. But we must not forget that the Light of Life is the key to saving Eldoria and we have been given a mission by King Aldric. "

Arin nodded, but his worries remained drawn on his face. "But what if we can't get through the trap in the Shadow Labyrinth? Are we going to die? And Eldoria will be overrun by darkness?."

Lyra approached them. "Arin, Elysia is right. We should prioritize searching for Life Light Artifacts. That's the only way we can save the crowd."

Arin nodded, though his heart was still filled with worry. They continue their journey with heavy hearts, keeping them always in prayer and hope.

As the sun sets and the moon takes over the illumination, Dharon, a hero gifted in hunting, declares something that leaves everyone speechless. "You remember when we were in the Valley of Hope, right? We are experiencing the illusions of the past. But maybe it's not just an illusion. Maybe it's a message from the future."

They all stopped their steps and looked at Dharon in confusion. "What do you mean, Dharon?" ask Lyra.

Dharon stepped forward and explained, "When we were in the Valley of Hope, we saw various scenes from the past. But, maybe it is a message from the future.The Eternal Village says that we are the last hope. It's possible that the message is to keep us focused on our mission, despite the temptation to go back and stop making this journey."

Elysia tried to process the idea that Dharon had proposed. "So, you're saying that the message in the Valley of Hope is a warning about what will happen if we don't complete our mission?"

Dharon nodded seriously. "Yes, but maybe not, that's what I think. We must remember that this mission is not only for ourselves, but for all that we love. We cannot get caught up in the past or the present. The future depends on our actions now."

Arin, though still feeling anxious, began to feel the spirit back. "You're right. We need to stay focused on this mission. Eldoria's counting on us as well as the many other lives out there that need saving."

With renewed determination, they continued their journey through the dark forest. They know that they will face many obstacles and dangers ahead, but with one strong goal and unanimous determination, they are ready to face it.

In the darkness of the deep night, the Dark Alliance gathered in their headquarters hidden within a deep and mysterious cave. They are a group of creatures filled with dark forces and ambitions to rule the world. Their leader, a masked being known as Lord Umbra, sat on a stone throne overlooking the large black crystal screen. The screen was a window to the outside world, where they could keep an eye on the movements of their enemies.

Suddenly, a fierce black wind flashed within the cave, carrying a thick fog that filled the entire room. The Darkness Alliance felt an evil presence approaching, and they immediately gathered around the black crystal screen. The black wind swirled in front of the screen, forming images that appeared from within the fog.

The heroes, Elysia, Lyra, Arin, Dharon, and Drako, appear in the image floating in the air. They were continuing their journey through the dark forest, with determined hearts. They carried their sparkling weapons and the fire of courage in their hearts.

Lord Umbra looked on with a darkened heart, realizing that these heroes were a threat to his plan. He ordered one of his masked creatures standing nearby.

The masked creature, who had been faithfully serving the Dark Alliance, bowed its head and prepared for action. He spoke in a resounding and mysterious voice, "I will do as I ask, Master."

The masked creature disappeared within the black fog that enveloped their cave. Quickly, he moved through the dark wind, infiltrating behind the heroes who kept walking through the forest. He was hidden behind a dark tree, waiting for the right opportunity.

Meanwhile, the heroes continue to advance in their challenging journey. They give each other support and encouragement, knowing that their task is very important. Elysia, who took on the role of the leader of the group, gave a thoughtful direction.

Dharon, who was always on high alert, checked around them and said, "Stay careful. We know that there's a great danger ahead."

Drako nodded. "We must not underestimate the power of the Dark Alliance. They must be watching us."

As the heroes spoke, the masked creature that Lord Umbra had ordered approached them. He hides behind a dark bush, ready to act. When he saw the right opportunity, he reported to his master through mental communication.

"The task is done, sir," said the masked creature in Lord Umbra's mind.

Lord Umbra smiled cunningly behind her mask. "That's fine. They'll never know what we're planning for them."

Back inside the Dark Alliance cave, its members waited with anticipation. They know that their evil plan is getting closer to success. In deep tension, they prepare to continue their movement and engage the heroes in a dark and dangerous battle.

Meanwhile, the heroes continue to advance unknowingly that they have become the target of the Dark Alliance's evil plans. They must remain vigilant, for danger is lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any time. Their journey to the Light of Life will be a true test of their courage, resilience and determination.

Curious Arin immediately raised his question, "Elysia, Lyra, can you tell me what the true form of the life light artifact is? I heard so many different stories."

Elysia smiled gently and replied in a calm voice, "Arin, actually no one knows for sure what it looks like. This artifact was so mysterious that it tempted everyone's imagination. However, all we can say is that the shape can change according to the person who sees it."

Lyra added, "Right, Arin. So, if you ask five different people, maybe you'll get five different answers. This is part of the appeal of this artifact."

Arin was amazed by their reply, "That's so exciting! I can't wait to know more."

Elysia said, "You just need to read a lot of history books, Arin.It will add insight to your knowledge."

Arin nodded, "Thank you, both of you. I really feel lucky to have friends like you."

The three of them laughed, Drako and Dharon just smiled seeing his friends laughing.
