ELDORIA
ELDORIA 2'S

King Aldric sat with great authority on the throne of his kingdom, while important files were scattered on the table in front of him. The afternoon sun illuminated the room through the palace's large windows. In a calm atmosphere, the King focused on examining the royal plans and reports.

Suddenly, the sound of loud footsteps stomped on the marble floor of the palace. The great warrior in iron clothes approached King Aldric quickly. Submissive respectfully, he saluted, "Your Majesty, the witch from Snow Mountain wants to meet you.She said that there is one important thing she wants to convey to you."

The King frowned, pondering for a moment. The Snow Mountain Witch is a mysterious creature known to possess magical powers that are rarely seen. What important thing does the Snow Mountain witch want to convey so that she must come directly to the kingdom of Eldoria.Is this about a bad premonition that always haunts her feelings?

"In this case, let him enter" said the King at last.

The soldier nodded and immediately turned away to convey the King's message to the witch. The King looked back at the files before him, but his mind was distracted by the thought of the Snow Mountain witch. What brought the witch to her kingdom? And what is the real purpose?

The door of the room opened slowly, and a mysterious woman in a snow-white robe stepped in. His face was filled with friendliness, yet his eyes radiated profound wisdom.

"Greetings, King Eldric," he said in a soft but confident voice. "I am Elara, the Snow Mountain witch. I have come to bring very important news."

King Eldric was stunned by the presence of the witch, but his wisdom allowed him to give a sign of respect. "Greetings, Witch Elara. What news did you bring?"

Elara nodded seriously. "The darkness that had been locked inside the forbidden forest would be unleashed, and the evil shadow again crept in the corners of the Eldoria kingdom. At this time, the darkness alliance was planning a devastating battle that would shake Eldoria.We should be prepared to face it."

King Eldric grasped the back of his throne tightly. "I have sensed the changes in the air, yet have no idea what caused them. What do we do?"

Elara answered with determination. "We must unite, King Eldric. The magical resources that exist in this kingdom are the key to facing the darkness. Look for your best witches and knights. Train them, combine their strength. We must find the Light Artifact, an ancient heirloom that can be the determinant of our victory in the battle to come."

Elara smiled gently. "Only if we unite can we face this threat successfully. The time may be short, but hope remains. Remember, darkness may be strong, but the light of our kingdom is also invincible."

With those words, Elara left the room with gentle steps, leaving King Eldric with renewed determination. Darkness may have crept around, but the fire of the spirit to resist remained burning in the hearts of the king and the inhabitants of Eldoria.

Amidst the bustling crowd, the rumbling sounds grew louder and louder. Two men were engaged in a fierce fight in the middle of the road. Their numerous blows ensued, creating a circle filled with cheering spectators and shouting their support.

Suddenly, the wind became cold and dark. As if coming from a shadow, a mysterious black entity appeared amidst the crowd. A strange and terrifying aura surrounded him, emitting an energy that made many people feel anxious and afraid. Their eyes were focused on this black shadow, as if hypnotized by its unnatural presence.

Between the continuing fights, the two men suddenly felt a great pressure on their chest. It was like there was a heavy burden suddenly appearing and pushing them away from each other. They found it hard to breathe, and their gazes turned from angry to fearful. These black shadows, without speaking a word, managed to create a coercive and frightening effect on them.

Suddenly their bodies soared into the air, then fell violently to the ground. A dark glint, like a black shadow, was seen escaping from their crashing bodies. Fresh blood began to flow from the wounds that had not yet healed, but the blood had a strange and foreign color — pitch black like a dark night.

The people around shouted in shock, looking at this frightening sight. Fear and confusion spread among the crowd, filling the air with an unnatural aura. Suddenly, the two injured bodies disappeared rapidly, as if they had simply vanished within the darkness. The remnants of black blood evaporated into the air, leaving behind fading traces.

The houses around the market were filled with terrified whispers. People become afraid of the presence of a terrifying creature or force, which can turn fights into supernatural phenomena that take lives in an instant. Everyone feels a haunting uncertainty, feeling threatened by forces they don't understand.
