A light off

The leader of the traitors stared at Alice with a piercing glance, a sardonic smile stretching her lips. "You know what this key opens, don't you?" ,' he asked in a veiled voice.

Alice felt a shudder run her spine as she met the merciless gaze of the cult leader. She knew that the key not only revealed secrets, but also unknown dangers, truths hidden for centuries. But she was not ready to give in to intimidation.

"We know that the key opens the door to immense power," she replied with a firm voice, refusing to show her fear." But we are ready to face the consequences of our actions. We will not shy away from the unknown."

The leader of the traitors laughed, a squeaky sound full of contempt. You are brave, but bravery alone will not protect you from the dangers that lie ahead," he said with a cruel smile.

Arion stood beside Alice, her comforting presence providing silent support. No matter what awaits us, we will face our destiny with determination and courage," he said in a firm voice, challenging the leader of the traitors with his gaze.

The cult leader of the traitors looked at them for a moment, his eyes shining with an unhealthy glow. Then, with a last scornful smile

The leader of the traitors slowly advanced towards her, and said in a dark and bewitching voice. This key, has a bewitching appearance, reflecting the hope and promise of an elusive truth. But in reality, it opens a door to a realm that transcends all things, a realm of pure darkness, where hope turns into absolute despair. '

Alice felt a shudder running down her spine as she listened to the sinister words of the traitor's leader. She realized that the quest for the key had taken them into dangerous territory, where each step brought them closer to the precipice of uncertainty.

Arion clenched his fists, his expression mixed with determination and apprehension. We knew this quest was perilous," he said in a firm voice, "but we are not afraid to face the darkness if it means protecting what we believe in."

The leader of the traitors lifted the key in front of him, his smooth and brilliant surface catching the ambient light. "So, what do you choose?" He asked in an icy tone. " The truth, however dark it may be, or do you prefer to remain in ignorance, safe from the horrors that await you on the other side of this door?"

Alice exchanged a look with Arion, then with the other members of the group. They knew that their decision would determine their destiny, but they were prepared to face the consequences, whatever they were. With renewed determination, Alice spoke: "We will choose the truth, whatever it may be. We will open this door and face our destiny with courage and resolve. '

the chief looked at the key and looked up at Alice's hate-filled face and said in a deep, silent voice, "Let her be reckless and pity that there is unfortunately only one key" he drew a long sword from his back with a scarlet color then attacked Alice by surprise but Arion at the last moment when the blade was two doight to cut the nipple of our dear heroine, this put in front to protect her but her torso was cut leaving a fatal wound that will take away our dear Alice's companion

The group was gripped by horror as Arion collapsed, his body badly wounded by the brutal attack of the traitor leader. Alice rushed beside her mentor, her trembling hands trying to contain the flow of blood that was escaping from the deep wound.

"Arion! No, don't leave me! Stay with us!" She begged, with tears in her eyes as she pressed her hands against the gaping wound.

Arion smiled feebly despite the throbbing pain that consumed him. "I am sorry, my dear Alice... I could not go any further...", he murmured with effort, his gaze filled with regret and love for his protégé.

The rest of the group gathered around them, divided between sadness and rage in the face of this injustice. But before they could react, the leader of the traitors disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind chaos and pain.

Alice held Arion's hand tenderly, feeling life slowly escaping from him. "I will not abandon you, Arion. You have taught me strength and determination, and I will continue to fight in your honour," she promised, with her voice of determination.

Arion closed his eyes, a peaceful smile stretching his lips. I am proud of you, Alice... you have grown so much my young girl, and always remember what I taught you the first time...that the hope lives in all of us," he whispered before passing away peacefully, his last breath carried away by the wind of adventure.

The group was overwhelmed by a deep sense of sadness as they stood around Arion. Alice felt a crushing weight in her chest, as if the whole world was collapsing around them. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she shook Arion's hand, unable to accept the reality of her loss.

The other members of the group were petrified by the tragedy that had just struck. Their mentor, their guide, lay there, victim of the cruelty of the traitors. Their hearts were heavy, filled with sorrow and deep anger towards those who had caused this suffering.

The silence that followed was overwhelming, only Arion's smile left an atmosphere of harmony around our travelers. Everyone stood there, unable to find the words to express their pain, their pain. The world seemed to stop, frozen in a moment of eternal agony.

Then, slowly, the reality of the situation imposed itself on them. They knew they had to continue, that they could not abandon the quest for which Arion had sacrificed his life. But sadness enveloped them, obscuring their vision of the future, making each step heavier than the previous one.

Still, a glimmer of determination shone in Alice's eyes as she rose, carrying the burden of Arion's memory on her shoulders. She knew she had to go on, not only to honor her memory, but also to find the truth they were all looking for.
