The Red Crystal Kingdom
First Impression

Uzan and Arika drifted low out of the dark part of the cave into the interior of the cave.

After which, the two of them circulated a glance around the cave. The cave they encountered was glowing dimly. The environment around them looks dark and empty because the caves at the top and bottom of the cave have formed stalactites and stalagmites scattered with various sizes. In addition, on the left and right side they have a flowing river.

Arika. “Prince Uzan, I feel that I just woke up from sleep.”

“It was also just felt, Arika,” said Uzan.

After that, Uzan and Arika looked back and saw that behind there was only a pitch-black room.

After finding out the cause of their loss of consciousness, the prince and the magical girl turned back to look at their destination.

“I don't understand about what we are going to do here, prince,” said Arika. “Here very dark.”

“I conclude,” says Uzan, “that we should just walk forward because behind us is just a pitch-black room.

“Alright,” says Arika. After that, the magical girl followed the prince who started to step forward. “Prince Uzan, may Edgar and others good – fine.”

“Hopefully,” Uzan nodded. While walking, he asked, “Do you know about Akais stone, Arika?”

“I only know a little, prince,” Arika sighed. “What I know is that Akais stone has properties to strengthen a building.”

“It is very reasonable if this Akais stone is needed in collecting this magical material.”

“That's right, prince,” says Arika. “I assume that most likely all the functions of each – of the magical material we are collecting have to do with the recovery of the earthquake that occurred in Kastala.”

A moment of silence occurred between the two of them as they walked side by side in a straight direction in the dim glowing cave they were in. Uzan has the assumption that the mechanism to get clues in this cave is to walk straight until someone approaches the same as when he and Dubal were in the middle of nowhere on Giraf Hill to obtain Cain Silver Kagigar.

The prince pointed forward and said, “Let's continue the journey that way,”

The witch girl nodded.

After that, Uzan and Arika walk together without dialogue between each other due to the dim atmosphere that affects their behavior. This is because they also feel alert with – things that might appear suddenly – arrives.

In addition to the Stalactites and Stalagmites, they both also saw a variety of rocks that glow with a variety of colors that buried him cave walls. The multi-colored flashes of light attracted attention. But they both walked straight.

A little while later, the wind started to be felt by them. In the blink of an eye, they saw a giant bat appear suddenly – arrived and caused Uzan and Arika to be in standby position.

The bat is black and twice the size of an adult. The creature was perched in the sky section – sky cave and looked at Uzan and Arika in an inverted position.

“Welcome visitors,” sounds out of the cave room. Uzan and Arika had already learned that the Voice came from the Bat they were both facing.

The bat continued his speech, “For sure you two are here to get Baru Akais. Isn't that right?”

“That's right,” replied Uzan briefly.

“The sound of bats reappeared around the cave room. “You must meet three conditions if you want to obtain the Magical Material.”

“What are the terms,” asks The Prince.

I will immediately mention the terms,” the bat flaps its wings for a moment. After that, he closed his wings again. “First, Find the red bat. Second, fight the spirit warriors. Third, facing stone warriors.”

“You tammpak very well, Mr Bat,” said Arika with a doubtful tone, “but have any visitors ever come here?”

“There,” says The bat. “They all also want to obtain the Akais stone formed in this cave for hundreds of years. But it is a pity that they all died because they could not meet the conditions listed.”

“Did anyone ever get a stone Akais?” ask Uzan.

“Already,” said the bat. “He was a sorceress from the kingdom of Oslar. But it was a long time ago. About hundreds of years ago.”

Hearing the answer that was just thrown by the bat, the prince concluded that the bat means familiar with the World of Namaril.

“Prince Uzan,” said Arika nervously. “That answer makes me a little doubtful. I mean, if the person who obtained the last Akais Stone was hundreds of years ago, I'm also not sure that we'll be able to obtain it either. Moreover, he also said that – people tried to obtain Batu Akais late – this died in this cave.”

“I feel doubt inside the witch girl beside you, prince,” said the giant black bat. “But that also needs to be considered about the life flow that you two will choose. Do you still want to move on or do you want this place to be your grave.

“Again, this is a matter of life and death. So if you want to go back, then come back. You just need to say the word ‘back’ together. After that, you two will instantly fade and come back out in good health as usual.”

“We will never return,” said Uzan steadily. The prince also hoped that Arika who was standing next to him was also affected by his determination and decided to dispel his doubts.

Arika saw the strong desire that emanated in the prince's words. Arika sighed and tried to dispel her doubts and said, “That's right, we will both get the Akais Stone to recover the earthquake that occurred in Kastla.”

“Forge, yes?” said the bat. “ The earthquake did happen many – times in the beginning. But the end of this final –, it's not happening. Don't blame me if I don't understand what you mean.”

Uzan stared at the big bat was sticky – sticky. It's true what he said. If you think – think, until now the earthquake has begun to subside. Is there anything suspicious about the task he is carrying out? He doesn't understand yet. But he is already here and will be steadfast with his determination. “Here, we will keep willing to get the stone Akais.”

“Prince Uzan,” Arika sighed anxiously. “Maybe Mr. Bat's comments are true. I mean, there's been suspicion before about the truth associated with this task. In addition to that..”.

For the time being, we will remove that suspicion, Arika,” said the prince. “We will discuss with Edgar and other – about the tasks we carry. In addition, we do not need to worry about the history of the Akais Stone. The bat said that the previous winner of the Akais Stone was a witch. Here, you too are a witch. I'm sure that we have a chance to get Batu Akais.”

After hearing the persuasion of Uzan, Arika nodded steadily. “Alright, we will prepare – ready, prince.”

The bat goes back, “So, are you two willing to continue your determination to obtain the Akais stone?”

“That's for sure,” says Uzan. Arika also prepared – ready and raised a magic wand in her palm.

“If you two are indeed firm with your stance,” the big bat opens its big wings, he said, flapping it and throwing the wind towards Uzan and Arika until they both had to close their eyes with their hands and set foot on the ground so as not to crash.

Then, the bat came down and off the wall and perched on the ground. Both of his open eyes flashed a red light. “I'll present you with a test bagu.”

After that, the bat flapped its wings again and produced a bigger wind blow and led to Uzan and Arika. The witch girl lit her wand and cast a brilliant ball of magic that surrounded the prince and himself so that they were both unaffected by the bat wind.

Moments later, Uzan and Arika looked up and found hundreds of bats gathering in the sky – while flapping their wings as if they were about to swoop in and prey on. Among them a bat seemed to be giving off a bright red glow.

Uzan and Arika find out the existence of the red bat and look at them both follow the direction of the bat's movement because the animal moves quickly to and fro.

“I say again the first test more clearly,” The black giant bat perched in front of Uzan and Arika opened its big wings wide – wide. “Before you die for being my meal and other black bat food, you must first turn off the red bat that is between us.”

Uzan flashed a glance across the bat while taking out his sword. Arika prepared – ready by sending a green light from the end of her magic wand.
