ELDORIA
THE ELDORIA 26
King Aldric sat on his shiny golden throne, with a sharp glare of eyes looking far out the palace's large windows. The red twilight that crossed the sky reflected the golden hue of the crown on his head. He was a strong and wise leader, who ruled with justice and wisdom for many years.
However, his mood felt tense on that day. He felt an inexplicable unease. This magnificent palace, which was supposed to be a place of peace and tranquility, now felt dark and haunted.
Suddenly, without a cue, there was a huge rumbling sound that shook the entire palace. King Aldric leaped from his throne, and the guards in the room immediately moved in panic. Precious paintings fell from the walls, and the crystal cups on the dining table broke into pieces.
Aldric immediately stepped towards the large window, looking out. A huge eruption had occurred in the distance, hitting the ground with a terrifying force. He had never seen anything like this before.
While the guards were busy securing the palace, one of the well-trained warriors approached King Aldric, carrying a paper scroll that looked extremely ancient and mysterious. He bowed respectfully and handed the scroll to the king.
"Your Majesty," said the soldier, "We found this outside the palace after the eruption took place."
King Aldric took the scroll and read it carefully. The dark writings sculpted on it made the hair on its nape stand upright.
"The population of Eldoria," he said slowly, "we are faced with a very great danger. This is a warning from the Dark Alliance."
Darkness Alliance. The name itself was enough to make everyone shiver. They are a group that has been hiding in the shadows, plotting a takeover of the kingdom with evil forces and black magic. All along, they had only been a vague threat in the legends stories, but now they had appeared with great power.
King Aldric read carefully the contents of the warning:
"King of Aldric,
The time has come for us, the Dark Alliance, to snatch Eldoria from you. We will rule Eldoria and evil forces will engulf this entire kingdom. Defend your throne if you dare, but you will not be able to protect this Kingdom from the destruction that we will bring.
We have sent a letter to hand Eldoria over, but you are so stubborn as the leader Eldoria used to be, then the coming battle will destroy everything.
Darkness will rule Eldoria."
King Aldric stared at the scroll with eyes that continued to digest the message. He knew that this was not an empty threat. The Dark Alliance was a powerful enemy, with frightening magical power. They had planned this attack carefully.

The main panesahat, a wise old man named Sir Cedric, spoke in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, we must consider what measures should be taken to face the threat from the Dark Alliance. Their forces are getting closer to our borders, and famine seems to be sweeping through nearby territories."
King Aldric nodded seriously, "You are right, Sir Cedric. This is a difficult time for our kingdom. We need to take wise and swift steps."
The magician stepped forward calmly, without showing any signs of threat. "Nobody needs to worry" he said in a soft voice. "I came at the behest of Witch Elara."
The presence of the witch made everyone even more suspicious. King Aldric scrunched his forehead, "What brought you here, witch? And why do you dare to appear before us uninvited?"
The witch smiled faintly, "I came bearing a message from Elara. He wants you to know that he has been closely watching the developments in your kingdom and your heroes."
The panesahats and advisors exchanged glances in confusion. King Aldric said, "If Queen Elara wants to talk to us, why doesn't she come alone?"
The witch replied, "Queen Elara has certain reasons to remain in her residence. However, he wants you to know that he has sent me to give you a gambara about the extent to which your heroes have reached in their quest for the peace of Eldoria."
Sir Cedric stepped forward, "What do you mean by this 'hint? "
The witch explains that Elara has sent her to provide a vision of the heroes' journey in the form of an unusual visual image. With a calm hand movement, he unleashed a mysterious spell. For a moment, the room turned into a glittering light, and then came the sparkling images in the air.
The first image depicts a young hero fighting against a terrifying dragon. He looked feisty and brave, and the dragon was finally defeated. Sir Cedric nodded in acknowledgment, "It was Dharon who had the power of a dragon, he was indeed the most powerful among the five heroes. "
The images are constantly changing, showing the various heroes and their sacrifices. The panesahats and advisors continued to look on with enthusiasm, pondering the meaning of what they were witnessing.
As the visions ended, the witch lifted her veil, revealing her stern-looking face. "Elara hopes you will consider well before taking any further action in any case."
King Aldric pondered, "Thank you for this message, witch. We will think about it carefully. However, we also have a responsibility to our kingdom and people."
The witch nodded in understanding, "Elara understood that as well, Your Majesty. He just wants to make sure that you don't forget the true meaning of your actions. Now, I will return to Elara and give a report that this message has been delivered."
With words of farewell, the witch left the room with steps as calm as when she came. The panesahats and advisers remained silent, pondering over the message they received. In the end, they know that their duties as heroes are not always simple, and sometimes require deep thought.
King Aldric said, "Let us consider wisely the actions we will take based on this message. We should always strive to be true heroes to our people."
The meeting continued with a different atmosphere, and the panesahats and advisers discussed more deeply about their duties and responsibilities as leaders. They know that although the world can be very complex, they must continue to fight for good and justice.
