30Please respect copyright.PENANASnVofGzCobman in his twenties appeared behind the girl, calling out loudly:
30Please respect copyright.PENANABk3vSZa6Aj
- Yara, Yara, stop, you fool... this will only lead you to ruin.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAgXricHBuqv
She heard him but ignored his words, running even faster. Realizing he could not catch her, the man knelt down, placed a glowing blue orb before him, and began drawing strange symbols upon it. Black smoke rose, and from it emerged a slender, tall creature-its skin burned, its face completely deformed, two red horns protruding from its forehead, one broken, and its wide black eyes without pupils. He commanded it to seize the girl.

The creature darted toward her in an instant, but by the time it reached, she had already entered the gates of the house-the Prison of the Supernaturals. The man tried to follow, but though the door was open, he collided with an invisible barrier. Approaching it, he muttered:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAnSbodRc7QA
- So even you cannot enter...!
30Please respect copyright.PENANAOa36axy35p
The strange creature struck at the unseen wall and replied:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAp5bTfpEhkB
- It's the sigils of that cursed old man!
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxJnvzQSzCq
The man sighed:
30Please respect copyright.PENANApPJDeMssUm
- As long as they are inside, we are safe. But Yara's entry may cause trouble.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUnJnVQHy2Z
The creature answered:
30Please respect copyright.PENANA0DlelbQ211
- Your sister is bold, breaking your family's laws. But who says they haven't already taken control of her? You know their power-especially the old man, Adrian.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAD380EaewdB
The man sat again, placing the blue orb before him:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWcqmu37WCw
- If you know their strength, then you know mine as well. I am certain she chose this path herself.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAEb0QbHLZ9T
He drew a square with a circle inside upon the orb, tapping different points. With each tap, a blue spark appeared and vanished near the prison's walls. He said:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAR90cMtGYXm
- I've stationed soldiers here. They'll inform us of any movement or news. I'll need your company these days.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzBrpboWxuU
- ...Where to?
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZKf2ZY3Lfs
- ...I've finally decided to repay the debt of the Blue Core.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZQGxJC81z8
- Hahaha, what's gotten into you now? Are you afraid?
30Please respect copyright.PENANA7oHr1Gvbl1
- Enough joking. Let's move.
30Please respect copyright.PENANADt5exZ1emx
Meanwhile, inside the prison, Yara felt relief knowing no one could enter. Yet guilt weighed on her for leaving her brother and family behind. She heard the main door creak open, but no one came out. Hesitant, she stepped inside. The door shut by itself, telling her retreat was no longer possible.

She scanned the vast, empty first floor with its large windows. At its center stood a spiral staircase made of transparent material leading upward. As she climbed, her foot slipped-she fell hard. The floor was slick, seemingly made of the same transparent substance, beneath which lay a black layer etched with strange symbols, giving the place a majestic aura.

From her fall, she noticed a slightly raised spot on the floor. Crawling to it, she discovered what looked like a hidden door leading downward. She tried to open it but failed. An odd sensation and intense curiosity overwhelmed her. She lingered, examining its strange carvings, until a voice echoed from above:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtPdAV0rbZL
- It is rude to meddle with what is not yours. You waste your effort; it will not open for you, nor is it your concern. What you seek lies above.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAGjDFUJ6Ulm
She turned toward the source: an old man with gray hair and beard, gazing at her seriously with piercing blue eyes. She replied:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAyjvjIlGJTD
- I wasn't meddling, only curious about this door. I apologize. So... you must be the old Adrian, the enemy of our village.
