Bravely enter the kingdom of sand sculptures

Aiden stood on the ruins of the city of Purgatory, watching the people ruled by demons gradually return to a free and happy life, but he felt an unspeakable emptiness in his heart. Defeating the demon did not bring him the expected sense of accomplishment, but instead made him more deeply aware of his own lack of strength. He knew that his journey was far from over.

Just as Aiden was deep in thought, a gentle breeze blew across his cheek, seeming to whisper in his ear. He looked up to the sky and saw a flock of elegant birds dancing to the rhythm of the wind. Suddenly, he realized that this was not just a natural wind, but a conscious, living being.

"You are?" Aiden asked curiously.

"I am the Windspeaker, Illya." A soft and melodious voice responded, as if coming from all directions.

Aiden looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. Finally, he noticed a woman in a light blue dress standing in front of him. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes revealed the light of ancient wisdom. She seems to be one with the wind, sometimes clearly visible, sometimes seeming to drift away with the wind.

"I have been observing you for a long time, Aiden." Ilia continued. "Your courage and kindness attracted my attention. You gave up the power of the moon stone and chose your own path. This is a choice worthy of respect. .”

Aiden smiled slightly in gratitude. "I just believe that everyone should follow their own path and not rely on outside forces."

"Because of this persistence, I decided to give you a prophecy." Windspeaker Ilia's tone suddenly became serious, "The road ahead will be full of more unknowns and dangers, but at the same time, there will also be greater opportunities waiting. With you. You will meet a powerful ally, and your destiny will be closely linked."

After hearing the prophecy, Aiden felt an inexplicable excitement and expectation. He knew that his adventure had just begun, and that this prophecy would guide him towards new challenges and miracles.

"Thank you, Illya." Aiden said sincerely, "Please tell me, where should I go?"

The Wind Whisperer smiled and pointed to the east, where the sky was illuminated golden by the rising sun. "East, beyond the Thunder Peak, through the Dark Valley, you will find your answer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Illya's figure gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a gentle breeze and dissipated in the air. Aiden stood there, his heart filled with infinite longing and determination for the future.

Aiden embarked on the journey to the Thunder Peak, filled with curiosity and fear of the unknown. The prophecies of Illya the Windspeaker echoed in his ears, driving him forward. The sky in the east gradually became gloomy and dense with dark clouds, which seemed to indicate a difficult road ahead.

After several days of trekking, Aiden finally arrived at the foot of Thunder Peak. The mountain peaks in front of us are towering into the clouds. The tops of the mountains are covered by thick clouds. Thunder rumbles and lightning flashes through the clouds. The scene is both spectacular and terrifying.

Aiden took a deep breath and started climbing. The mountain road was steep and he used both hands and feet to carefully avoid loose rocks and landslides. As the altitude increased, the wind and rain became more intense. The wind howled like a knife, and the rain soaked his clothes.

Just as Aiden climbed halfway up the mountain, a sudden lightning struck a nearby rock, triggering a small landslide. Aiden scrambled to find shelter. At this moment, he noticed a sunken cave and quickly hid in it to avoid the landslide.

The cave is dark and damp, but at least it provides shelter from wind and rain. Aiden took out the flint and lit some hay, bringing a little warmth and light. He knew he couldn't stay here for too long, but he also needed a short break to regain his strength.

Just then, he heard a strange sound coming from outside the cave. Out of curiosity and vigilance, Aiden cautiously walked towards the cave entrance to explore. It was a sound he had never heard before. It seemed to contain some kind of rhythm and melody, which was both mysterious and attractive.

As Aiden tried to identify the source of the sound, a figure appeared in his sight. It was a tall man, wearing a green robe and holding an exquisite wooden staff with a one-eyed symbol carved on the top. His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was chanting some kind of spell in concentration.

The man sensed Aiden's presence and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with wisdom. "I am Shaman Elon, the guardian of this mountain forest." He introduced himself in a low and magnetic voice.

Aiden responded politely and asked what exactly he was chanting. Elon explains that he is communicating with nature and trying to calm the incoming storm to help Aiden safely pass through Thunder Peak.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Aiden asked Elon to show him how to negotiate the dangerous mountain. The shaman nodded in agreement and told Aiden that only by passing a test could he get the clue to the top of the mountain. The test is to find a crystal known as the "Thunder Heart", which is the soul of the mountain and only the truly brave and wise can discover its traces.

Aiden accepted the test without hesitation. The shaman Elon gave him an amulet made of feathers and bark, which was said to protect Aiden from lightning at critical moments. Aiden accepted the amulet, thanked Elon for his help, and immediately embarked on a journey to find the Thunder Heart.

Adventure is always accompanied by unknowns and dangers, but Aiden firmly believes that as long as he has determination and faith, no matter how difficult it is, he can overcome it. He knew that this test was not only a physical challenge, but also a test of his will. Under the guidance of Shaman Elon, Aiden continues to move towards the Thunder Peak to find the mysterious crystal hidden in the storm.

Aiden found the crystal known as the "Thunder Heart" at the top of Thunder Summit. The crystal emits a faint blue light and is surrounded by a faint sound of electricity, which seems to echo the thunder and lightning of the mountain. Aiden carefully removed the crystal, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment and respect. Shaman Elon's trials strengthened his faith in his path.

With his heart of thunder, Aiden descended the mountain safely. His heart was filled with the determination to go to the Dark Valley, which was the only way to the next destination. There he will find a powerful ally, according to the prophecies of Ilia the Windspeaker.

Darkdale, as its name suggests, is a low-lying area forever shrouded in shadow. Dense trees obscure the sky, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate the thick canopy. The air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, and strange cries came from all directions from time to time, which was unsettling.

Aiden steps into this mysterious land, clutching the Heart of Thunder in the hope that it will protect him if necessary. As he continued to go deeper, the sounds around him became louder and more diverse, and it seemed that countless unknown creatures were peeping at him in the dark.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged into Aiden's heart. He subconsciously rolled to the side and avoided a shadow arrow falling from the sky. After standing still, he looked around alertly, trying to find the source of the attack.

"Don't be afraid." A deep and powerful voice sounded in the darkness, and then a tall figure walked out of the shadow of the trees. This man is wearing black leather armor, holding a long bow, and his eyes are cold but sharp. He is Aiden's future ally, the hunter Carlin.

"I am Karin, the hunter of Darkdale." He said in a firm and serious tone, "I have been watching you for a long time, and I am impressed by your courage. But I must test your skills to make sure you are worthy of becoming mine. companion."
