ENDLESS BATTLE

Freya raised her shield against the incoming spear of quiescence. Zilong dashed and attacked Moskov. He was so furious after Moskov aimed to attack Freya in an ambush. Even his wounded arms became numb just as long he could shot vengeance onto Moskov. Freya activated her shield and takes an aim of her sword to the opponents. Zhask kept on summoning beastly creatures that also distracted Freya for it almost suppressed Natalia, now was wounded. It seems Rafaela and Estes in Nost Gal, their powers were not enough together to bring protection and healing to all their allies because darkness had overpowered them. But the two was resilient and continued to combine their powers to protect their allies as the least they can do. The encounter between Tigreal's team and their enemies was getting even grave. Tigreal could not help his team because Leomord and him was one on one on the river. Leomord had an advantage riding his horse Barbiel. But also, since he was once dead. Tigreal still trying to find for weakness in every time he wield or struck his sword against the dark knight. Meanwhile, Selena enjoyed her hunting after again succeeded in turning Eudora, Bane and Franco as new allies of the dark. However, Argus was not interested in hunting for he had given the job to his well trusted allies. But moreover, he and Thamuz was busy searching for clues in the whereabouts of the twilight orb inside the great maze. Apparently, someone was so lucky to have the advantage from everyone including Argus. Long ago, the ancient Minos had preserved a relic map about the Minoan Maze. It was created to secure knowledge and a duty to be passed on to next generations. However, it was lost after the first wrath. Minotaur, the last son of Minos was after such map to advance the maze against Aldous. But both of them did not know it was already in the hands of someone whom was already in the maze too. Conflicts continue to rise as armies against armies and some travelers against travelers. One by one, each of their selfish desires starting to resurface and beginning to consume them to take advantage of each other. Either a fight for their beloved country, people, or selfish, cunning desires, to whoever and whatsoever side they choose to fight for, the twilight orb was quietly testing the waters. Until, one lucky man was guided by the twilight orb because only he was the one who seemed to do not bother choosing a side and the orb was so pleased with him. Returning to Tigreal, his teammates had succeeded in suppressing their enemies. It was already dawn, few light started to tweak across the skies in the Land of Dawn. Zilong had killed Moskov by piercing the spear of quiescence deep into his chest. And Freya also ended Zhask and his creatures. Thus, Zilong giving way to handle Leomord while Freya and Tigreal to advance the next stage. Natalia volunteered to assist Zilong and bid Tigreal warm good luck after planting a soft sweet kiss, sealed with their lips. The two knew how important for the army of the light to succeed the stages in the maze and to win the orb against the dark army, so sending out the strongest and more capable heroes to advance the maze whom were emperor Tigreal and war goddess Freya was the choice. Freya was moved by Zilong's heroic and bravery. So she gave him a tight hug and for the last time their hands where in each other's.

"I'll see you soon",

the goddess whispered.

"And I will wait for you",

Zilong said his last words and withdraw his hands. Without turning their backs, Tigreal and Freya proceeded in advancing the second stage.
