The Red Crystal Kingdom
Step Determination

After hearing the story of Uzan and Arika, Edgar and the others were amazed.

“It is true that we fainted here,” Dubal said. “But we—or at least I—do not feel that we have fought with you both.”

“That's right,” says Sara. “I also did not think that Rota and I will fight together against Arika.”

“While so,” said Rota. “which Arika said about the three major powers that I have is undeniable. For the next, you should be more careful – hearts, Arika!”

“Alright,” Arika nodded.

Edgar scissors. “I did not expect that we were made into clone dolls by bat creatures just.”

“You said that the conversation was going round and round?” dubal. “This ban on the history of the Akais Cave is quite convincing for me. Especially about the witch who lost her power after getting the Akais Stone a hundred years ago.”

“That's why,” Arika pouted. “Because Invel can not be trusted, then we also can not be completely sure that the history of the Akais Cave is the same as that spoken by the dracula.”

“At least Invel gave you a gift, right, prince of Uzan?” Sara smiles.

“That's right,” says Uzan. “Hopefully we'll get the most out of Dim someday.”

“Uzan,” said Edgar. “when you and Arika were in the Cave...ehemm..before we fainted or anything, we discussed and concluded that this task is suspicious.”

“That's right, prince Uzan,” says Dubal. “Especially the cessation of periodic earthquakes that occurred since our departure to collect this magical material.”

“I've guessed that you guys will talk about this,” said Uzan. “Not only since the absence of Rivata when the direction of Material Magis.”

“I also suspect this,” said Arika.

“But in fact, we have been directed that we should head to Lumina Forest, the Pixi forest, to get the Lumina Stick,” Rota said. “So, after this, what's your decision, Prince Uzan.”

Uzan stared at the ground while thinking for a long time. His – colleagues simply stared at the prince while waiting for a decision to emerge from him.

“Do you have any input so that I can determine the direction of our next steps?” tanya Uzan while spreading her gaze to around her – friends.

“It depends on your initial decision on this, Prince Uzan,” Dubal said. “Are you planning to continue your journey, or turn around to head to Kastala Palace?”

“Already so far,” says Uzan. “I don't think it's possible if we want to go back to Kastala.”

“Still possible,” says Rota. “I can open the portal to Bukit Giraf if you want, prince. It will shorten the mileage to return to Kastala. Moreover, if it is important, I can also go straight to the Palace by combining my powers, Arika, and Sara, whose risk is that the three of us will lose magic for three days.”

“Why would you go that far, Rota?” ask Arika.

“Before, I wanted to follow you guys because I wanted to meet with Galar and crush him,” Rota said while crossing her arms. “After a while, if I pay attention to the course of this group, there will be a betrayal that, more or less the same, or even more heinous than Galar has done to Fatta and other Giraffe creatures.”

“That would be the scale, Rota,” said Uzan. “Here, what's in it if we compare it with continuing our journey to get the Lumina Sticks as already directed by the Magical Material Parchment?”

“I don't want to be so bad, but..” Edgar. “It also means that we follow the will of Faraq and we will ahem...played?”

“Do you have to be so bad to think to Faraq, Edgar,” Sara said.

“How the Prince,” Arika turned towards Uzan who was still thinking. “Have you been able to draw any conclusions?”

Moments later, Uzan said, “How about we continue the journey to get this Togkat Lumina. However, we will not return that Magical Material to Palace.”

“Kukira it's a good move,” Dubal said. “What is the basis for the selection of that step, prince Uzan?”

“Bad prejudices and take advantage of opportunities.”

“Should you not use prejudice to make decisions, prince,” Sara said.

“Normally, should Prince Uzan decide with a logical mind and not prejudice,” Dubal said. “However, the word ‘utilize the chance’ he just test seems to have a good connotation for us because it means, that, if we can have the Lumina Wand that we will obtain and keep watch – guard if we are betrayed by the Palace. Isn't that so, prince of Uzan?”

“That's right,” says Uzan. “Or at least, that was my goal for a while.”

“For the time being yes,” Edgar holding chin. After all, with Rivata missing from the directive, does that mean that we will also be looking for that Rivata?”

Uzan. “What I have in mind now is that we will continue the journey to get the next Magical Material. After that, we will immediately turn to Giraf Hill to head directly to Istana.”

“Wait,” says Sara “Did you forget that you too are being hunted on Giraf Hill because we have taken the Silver Kagigar Cloth without their knowledge and without their permission?”

Rota hit the forehead. “I forgot!”

“Luckily you remind, Sara,” said Edgar as he glanced at the girl. “If not, we will shit”

“Alright, prince,” Rota rectifies. “If you want to return to Kastala Palace, then I, Sara, and Arika will be willing to present the portal magic for you.”

“And remove the power of the three of you for three days?”

“It doesn't matter,” says Sara. “It should be known that the portal room to Kastala Palace cannot be entered without risk because there is an invisible magical dome that prevents magical creatures from entering and entering the portal at their own pace.”

“If Rena hadn't become the Witch and Healer Section's Superior,” Edgar pouted.

“We should be happy because with the observation of Rena, Magical creatures that enter Kastala reduced drastically, Edgar.” Said Sara.

“Ya..yaa..” Edgar shook his head. “At least you three have to bear the risk of losing strength for three days if we do turn back to Palace.”

“I don't mind that,” said Arika. “I will present magic to it if it is useful to resolve this uncertainty.”

“Alright,” Uzan nodded steadily. “Let's get ready to leave for Lumina Forest.”

After their breakfast toilet, Uzan and his companions stood up and prepared – ready with their horses, Zero, and also the carriage he carried. Previously, Uzan performed a ritual together with Rota, Arika, and Sara to activate the portal to the Lumina Forest.

Uzan imagined the Lumina forest that was imprinted in the subconscious of his mind. The forest was dark and surrounded by dozens of Pixi that floated and then passed around the surrounding.

After the Ritual was over, Dubal immediately rode on Zero. Uzan and the others got into the Kencana train. Moments later, a black portal twisted in front of them. After Dubal spurred Zero's horse bridle, they immediately sauntered towards the portal and soon vanished from existence.
