📍 Planet Golden Lurmus

The new King welcomed us with a cheerful smile, his voice filled with promise.
He pledged his full support in saving Morvena and Timbon.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUCjjVJqwW
Somalan stepped forward, his tone more serious.
There was a way-a magic portal he could create, open for only one hour.
But there was a catch: only four of us could go.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGqYNA0yYA
And worse, the dark magic of Planet Skaar would weaken us every fifteen minutes.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eX3c1cEo1
We would have to move fast.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0waflYt9W
The crystal's two halves were finally joined, but Somalan warned us-we had to use it at the exact moment to separate Magmulus from Morvena and Timbon.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP1vlfwyN4
We made the choice.
Galoth. Juvin. June. Me.

Somalan's hands glowed as he summoned the swirling portal, handing me a magic hourglass to keep time-and serve as a compass to Morvena and Timbon.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IGLVgVTaI
We stepped through.

Planet Skaar was pure nightmare.
Lava rivers cut across blackened ground, and the air stank of brimstone.
Dark magic wrapped around us like chains. The moment June and I set foot there, the weakness hit-sharp and suffocating-just like Somalan warned.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VeDCgDtBL
We didn't waste time. The hourglass sands were falling fast.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OXaQBOS6G
In the distance, a towering spire loomed. At its peak, Morvena hung in heavy chains, surrounded by snarling demons and shielded by a shimmering forcefield.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatqntXKeto
Timbon was nowhere in sight.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb11jcBjMa
We charged.

The moment Morvena saw us, her eyes burned with rage.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7xujLlg3Y
> "Kill them!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME1wcicp0X
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAnIGmz7US
The demons rushed us.
I drove my magic knuckles into their chests, each strike echoing like thunder.
Beside me, Juvin's freeze-sword slashed through claws and fangs, ice hissing against lava.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7PaHDFPHK
Galoth and June pushed forward toward Morvena, but then-
Timbon appeared.
Not alone.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DQrd7ZQYN
He was flanked by the Dark Vultures-Lex's spies.
Lex must have promised him escape in exchange for joining forces.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfbLEwtK7A
The vultures were vicious, their fire-breath scorching the air.
My power was fading with every heartbeat.

While I battled at the front, Juvin fought shoulder to shoulder, cutting through the demon horde.
But Timbon's focus never wavered-his eyes were locked on me.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK2CpXyP1F
All these years, I had faced him in countless battles, every clash a test of skill and willpower.
This time, he found his opening.
With a sharp feint, Timbon's blade was suddenly at my heart.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtXYTKj8lO
My breath caught-
But before the strike could land, Juvin stepped in, parrying the blow with a burst of icy magic.
The impact threw Timbon back into the firelit dust.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktFb98vrVi
I looked at Juvin for a heartbeat longer than necessary.
And in that moment, something changed.
Somewhere between the chaos and the blood, I began to like him.

Then Galoth did it.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOI5UHV0O
He slotted the two crystal halves into his weapon, and with a roar, the gun fired a blazing beam of light.
The demons crumbled to ash.
The vultures fell from the sky, burned clean.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp0ctrDcxp
The crystal's radiance washed over Morvena and Timbon, weakening them both.
June, pouring the last of her magic into the beam, made the light burn even brighter.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiJrfAtbvi
Morvena's scars began to vanish.
Magmulus shrieked as its shadowy form was ripped from their bodies.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqXRJM21uE
Timbon collapsed-free.
But Morvena... she still clung to the demon's influence.

Galoth and June stepped forward.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC91Bax6V2s
June's voice trembled.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrikx9CpwB2
> "Morvena... I need you. I miss my friend."

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrBjejj1AH
Galoth pulled something from his coat-a small, worn dragon toy.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Y8KKR3e5
> "Remember, Julina? Heman? The games we used to play?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup65knBCMb
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWKQ9Bqdh5
The light flared one final time.
Morvena's eyes cleared.
She was back.

er. The portal was closing.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKhPp0KSnl
We stepped through, leaving Magmulus trapped in the burning wasteland forever.
