Dark armour message

The scent of wood smoke and roasting goat mingled with the salty tang of the nearby sea, creating a heady aroma that filled the bustling marketplace of Yul Kala. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the colorful stalls overflowing with fresh produce, handcrafted wares, and shimmering fabrics. Laughter and lively bartering filled the air, a symphony of commerce unique to each vendor. Agustin and Elena weaved through the throng, their knapsacks already laden with provisions for their perilous journey into the Sierra de Alamos mountains.

Their destination: the legendary abode of the Otomi tribe, rumored to possess knowledge of a forgotten path that could lead them to a way to stop Alejandro's growing power. News of his tyrannical rule had reached even this remote village, carried on the worried whispers of traveling merchants.

As they secured canteens and a sturdy map from a weathered old cartographer, a hush fell over the marketplace. All eyes turned towards the entrance, where a figure cloaked in a dark, hooded robe emerged. An air of mystery hung about them, an unnerving quiet following them like a shadow.

As the figure approached Agustin, the crowd parted nervously. Agustin rose from his haunches, his hand instinctively going towards the hilt of his sword. The figure stopped a respectful distance away, the hood casting their face in a deep shadow.

With a voice that rumbled like distant thunder, the figure spoke. "Agustin," they rasped, their voice surprisingly gentle. "I come not as an enemy, but as a bearer of news."

Intrigued yet cautious, Agustin gestured for them to continue. The figure threw back their hood, revealing a weathered face etched with lines of hardship and a flicker of determination. Their eyes, a piercing shade of amber, held a depth of experience and a hint of urgency.

"I am Dark Armor," they rasped. "A wanderer who has witnessed the growing darkness of Alejandro in dark world."

Elena, ever vigilant, tightened her grip on the dagger strapped to her thigh. The name "Alejandro" hung heavy in the air, a constant reminder of the formidable foe they were about to face.

Dark Armor held up a hand, silencing the questions forming on Agustin's lips. "Alejandro is consolidating his power," they continued, their voice low and urgent. "Cause he was growing stronger than expected , a ritual that will solidify his hold on this world."

A knot of dread formed in Elena's stomach. They had to find a way to stop him, and fast.

"The Otomi tribe may hold the key," Dark Armor said, their voice filled with a sliver of hope. "Legends speak of their connection to the ancient ways, of their knowledge of powerful magic that could counter Alejandro's darkness."

Agustin felt a surge of renewed determination. The Otomi tribe was their only hope. "We are heading there now," he declared, his voice firm. "Do you have any information on the quickest route?"

Dark Armor shook their head, a hint of regret in their gaze. "The path to the Otomi is shrouded in secrecy and fraught with danger. But there may be others who can help. A man of knowledge of Otomi and lives in cima de sierra named George . He might possess knowledge of hidden passages or forgotten rituals that could aid you on your quest."

With a curt nod of thanks, Agustin and Elena shouldered their packs and weaved their way through the dispersing crowd. Dark Armor's words hung heavy in the air – Alejandro was waiting for his freedom and then he may invade this world and finished his revenge .

And before Agustin said anything dark armour disappeared.

As they exited the marketplace, the weight of their mission pressed down on them. The vibrant colors of the marketplace seemed to fade, replaced by a grim determination etched on their faces. The once-joyful sounds of bartering were now a distant echo, replaced by the silent promise they made to each other – to find the Otomi tribe and stop Alejandro before it was too late.
