Fear

The sky was painted in hues of pink and orange as the first rays of the sun began to emerge on the horizon, signaling the dawn of a new day. Barry and Gabriel, two close friends, stood side by side on a high cliff overlooking a vast, beautiful landscape. They had been on an arduous journey to save their friend Hazel.

Barry looked down at his homeplace mostly in shambles and thought if he was just more strong he could've saved the place but nevertheless the job was still undone. Today they had to confront the lady who caused this all and take revenge once and for all.

But one thing kept bugging Gabriel as he was seeing Barry in a very unusual manner, he wasn't being himself his expressions were cold as he only needed revenge to satisfy him.

He took one step forward and signaled Gabriel to follow but before he could even move Barry was gone from his vision and rushed towards the house of honor. Gabriel was shocked and tried to keep up but he was of no match to his speed.

[On Alan's Side]

Alan and Shelby hadn't rested the night and were on the move consistently, Alan was lucky as Shelby had some potions to regain their energy to continue and don't stop at all. After some while they reached a huge mountain and as they looked down they saw a Dark and misty land almost avoidable to the eye, Alan nodded towards Shelby and jumped from the mountain and was free falling. Shelby was stunned and unable to process what just happened but she had to follow him so without any further questions she jumped in a streamlined manner to catch up to Alan.

Soon they were closing in on the land and Alan cast a wind disc around their feet through which they glided from a small hill like snow surfing and safely reached the bottom of the hill and entered the land.

"DONT ever do that again'', said Shelby

Alan giggled at her response nervously as he thought she was joking but her expression was quite literal.

The place they had landed was quite dense and made it hard for them to see but they kept pushing forward until something stopped them. Alan fell to the ground followed by a terrifying scream and seemed like in a hell of pain, Shelby rushed over to him to see the problem but it was nothing, soon he fell unconscious in the hands of Shelby.

His eyes immediately opened up after he passed out but this time he wasn't in reality but he had been here this "place" was ringing something inside his head but he couldn't recall it quite well, suddenly a menacing aura took over him as the demon inside of Alan stood in front him.

"You fool why would you come here, Th,, this place is CURSED!!!" said the demon.

The demon disappeared from his sight as Alan came back to reality, He immediately got up scared and sweating as he didn't understand anything that had happened but he still kept feeling the menacing aura but this time it wasn't from the demon, this aura was pure.

Alan looked up and saw the master smiling at him, he was surprised to see him but immediately got up and greeted him.

"What brings you here, Alan?", said the Master.

"MASTER our land ha... has been attacked by the new government the residence is being plundered by their action Barry told us to get you back as he held them back", said Alan.

"Held them back? he wouldn't stand a chance unless... We have to go now!", ordered The master.

"What about this land master, are we going to leave this?", questioned Shelby

"This place is swarmed by entities and curses, it's inhabitable we have to leave" said Master

Master then took Shelby and Alan into his arms and carried them along as they were too tired to get back themselves.

With great momentum, Master carried both of them back to the top of the cliff and then again continued his motion towards the residence, only to be disturbed a little later.

(BOOM)

A small explosion occurred out of the blue with no real explanation, The master stopped and started to catch onto something but it was gone, Curious about the small event they didn't stop and kept moving but nature had other plans for them.

Before they knew it, Some mutated creatures were on their tail with high speeds and fangs, Master was quite aware that the explosion was a call for these creatures so without any hesitation he threw Alan and Shleby at the creatures while still running to the residence.

"IS HE CRAZY", screamed both of them in unison.

they both weren't ready for this but they had to push through, By using the ability to analyze Alan was able to classify them as level 2 creatures, and assumed them as no threat, but before he could turn off his skill, A creature lunged at him and slammed him into a tree followed by a ferocious scream.

"Level 2 you said?", taunted Shelby while not giving up her guard and countering the creature's move. Alan regained his balance and fought back and together with their joint moves they eventually defeated them, and the creatures turned to dust revealing a crystal on the ground.

They both were confused about the fact that these creatures existed and on top of that they revealed something mysterious. Alan went in to grab the crystal only for it to be absorbed into his body. He stood there shaken by the fact that Shelby was holding the other crystal normally without it being absorbed.

Before they could even question about the messed up events, they were suddenly warped back to Master who had made quite the progress. They barely regained their balance and realized that master had marked them while throwing at the creatures because he had trust that they could defeat them.

Both of them were stunned to see the master in action but couldn't dare to speak as they followed along but something was off master was showing the same expressions Gabriel told over the earpiece of Barry's and was confused as master's face showed seriousness and Fear?
