The night was thick with tension as Joong, Pond, and Phuwin returned to the palace. They gathered in Joong's secret base, the ancient scrolls and artifacts now seeming to hold even more weight as they searched for answers.
Joong: "We need to find out how this transformation happened. There has to be something in these scrolls that can help us."
Pond nodded, diving into the scrolls with renewed vigor. Phuwin paced, deep in thought, occasionally stopping to examine a particular passage or artifact.
Phuwin: "There must be some ancient magic or powerful spell that could cause such a transformation. The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is known for their mystical abilities, but this goes beyond anything I've ever heard."
Joong glanced at Dunk, who was still resting peacefully, unaware of the turmoil his existence was causing.
Joong: "Dunk... or Daonuea, he was special even as a mortal. There was always something different about him. I need to understand what happened to him."
Hours passed as they continued their search. Scrolls were read and reread, ancient texts pored over for any clue. Finally, Phuwin's eyes lit up as he found a passage in an old, dusty tome.
Phuwin: "Nightmare Nectarum."
Phuwin hesitated for a while, a serious look crossing his face.
Phuwin: "Your Highness, Nightmare Nectarum. That flower might hold the key to unlocking this whole puzzle."
Pond's eyes widened with concern.
Pond: "But that flower is dangerous. Joong, been casting a spell on it to prevent any problems all this time."
Joong looked at Pond and Phuwin, his expression resolute.
Joong: "Let's take some more time to study this. Dunk is still not well at the moment, and we shouldn't tire him out with this. We'll take it step by step."
Phuwin nodded in agreement.
Phuwin: "I'll create more potions to help him heal faster. We need to ensure he's strong enough before we delve into this further."
Joong: "Thank you, Phuwin. We'll get through this together."
As they continued to plan their next steps, Joong felt a renewed sense of determination. With Dunk's recovery as their priority, they would unravel the mystery of the Nightmare Nectarum and uncover the truth behind Dunk's transformation.
