📍Hall of Wisdom, Somalan's room

We returned from Planet Skaar, battered but victorious.
The new King Lurmus and Somalan greeted us with wide smiles.

Galoth rushed forward and embraced Morvena. His tear-filled eyes said more than words ever could—a father’s love, fierce and unshaken by centuries of pain.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSyBfHdgZ8
Morvena’s voice cracked as she whispered,
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4wdYHxZ96
> “I’m sorry, Father. I should never have thought about using dark magic to take revenge on Lex.”
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnkIN7tdsJ
Before she could say more, Galoth shook his head.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi1RXcjRL1
> “It’s okay, my daughter. None of this was your fault. We’ll prove it to the Elder. I’m just glad you’re here with me again.”
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgKFYlRpM2
We all stood there, smiling at the reunion. After centuries of suffering, Morvena and Timbon were free.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye6M0wNcAL
Both of them turned to us with gratitude.
Timbon even stepped forward, his voice low.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgaIasYhme
> “I’m sorry… for all the fights before.”
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO12SVx7XA
I couldn’t hold a grudge. I knew now that none of it had been his fault.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk1L31StZd
Our next step was clear—we had to return to the Elderly and prove Morvena and Timbon’s innocence, and expose Lex’s schemes once and for all.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0OCGE3d0w
Somalan agreed to come with us, and King Lurmus assigned several of his guards to protect the journey.

We were just preparing to leave for the Dream Realm when it happened.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWutWb12cY
A heavy thud—then a blinding flash.
A smoke bomb erupted at our feet, releasing a choking, magical haze.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIiYecgKdP
The air grew thick, burning my lungs. My vision blurred. One by one, everyone fell to the ground.
Through the swirling smoke, I caught a glimpse of boots—black leather, worn from travel.

Kangrod.
The loyal servant of the Elderly.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6jc5NDOYv
Before I could speak, darkness swallowed me whole.

When I woke, the cold bite of iron surrounded me. We were in a prison chamber—me, Juvin, Galoth, June, Somalan, the Golden Lurmus guards… and Kangrod himself.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55h3zQi6oa
He was pacing, his hands bound.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PezxkEUDy
His words spilled out quickly.
He’d been sent by the Elderly to follow us, to discover our true intentions. But when he arrived at Golden Lurmus, Lex was already there, spinning lies.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLxyPNG3Gw
Lex told Kangrod that we had turned against the Dream Realm—allying with the new King Lurmus to seize power by freeing Morvena.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORSevjnhmH
Kangrod believed him.
And so, he helped capture Morvena and Timbon.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElglJsXtiS
His voice grew heavier.
But soon after, Kangrod discovered the truth—Lex had been lying all along. By the time he confronted him, Lex had turned on him too, locking him in the same cell as us.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7Y3euX59y
Then came the part that made my stomach turn.
Kangrod said Lex was planning to twist Morvena’s mind again, make her evil once more, and then kill her in front of the Elderly—sealing our guilt forever.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMbjJ3Ylif
Kangrod lowered his head.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRD0uUSesI
> “I’m sorry. I was blinded by loyalty… and now we’re all trapped.”
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCb3aJ6MTd
I clenched my fists.
Somewhere out there, Morvena and Timbon were in L
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKyBKxcJEX
ex’s hands.
And we had no idea if we could reach them in time.
