The Pattena Heroes

Every 5,000 years, the celestial planets Platymus, Cantrus, Glarion, aligns in perfect harmony with their moon. This is a cosmic event of greatest power and potential. The evil Emperor Zalthar long long ago directed his archmage, Mordak, to forge a mystical disc - the Pattena that has the ability to absorb the combined energy of these celestial bodies. Legend foretold that whosoever used the Pattena during the alignment can either dominate or destroy the celestial realms. Five millennia ago, a coalition of heroes - the Planon Alliance - shattered the Pattena and stopped Zalthar's insidious scheme. The disc fragments were scattered across the planets and peace ensued for generations. However, Mordak’s agents have now diligently collected the hidden fragments and are much closer to restoring the dreaded artefact. It is up to five heroes - Kael, a skilled warrior with his own tragic past; Elara, a cunning rogue and a master thief; Zephyr, a charismatic bard with his own secrets; Thorne, a lone ranger with natural abilities; and Lyra, a young and inexperienced but gifted mage - to unite and prevent the Zalthar and Mordak from achieving their dark ambitions as the time of the alignment once more draws near. They must journey on across treacherous landscapes and enemy territory to locate the remaining disc fragments and learn more about their ancestors’ legacy. Failure is not an option for it would spell doom for all life as they know it.

Chapter 31 Avoiding the road barricades

The Alliance team sandwiched Majorie between them as they ducked into the alley and started circumnavigating the barricade. As they moved through the snake-like pathways, Majorie couldn't help casting his mind back to his induction training as a Planon Alliance agent. This basic training was mandatory for every agent and it equipped them to deal with the usual sorts of threats that they would face in their work. He had sometimes put his combat training to use as an undercover agent. But this experience was altogether on a whole different scale and he couldn't help but wonder if he and this group of agents could cope with it - although they looked very fit and experienced.

For his part, Jackson, the team lead couldn't help but listen to his honed instincts that told him that the net was closing in. Sometimes, listening to his instincts, he would suddenly take alternative back routes that were less likely to be watched.
