Rise of Yahunyens: Origin

Episode 24: The Ninth Great God War

Griswa turned his eyes to the young man. "Guess we can talk?" he asked, hoping to understand the sudden urgency.

The young man looked at Griswa with a mix of awe and suspicion. "Are you the Skaar?" he asked.

"Yes, I am, I go by the name Griswa." he confirmed.

The young man nodded. "I sensed a strong energy, as did my Master. We knew someone with immense power was here. There are tons of things we need to discuss."

Yesdar and Malaes, still reeling from the recent events, interrupted. "Wait, who are you?" Yesdar asked. "And why did you ask us to stay away from Griswa?"

The young man took a deep breath. "My name is Fheniz Wrings. The energy level that Gris...waa emits is beyond anything we've ever encountered. Usually, such levels of energy are associated with beings of immense evil. We are the guardians of the Gate of Ehayor, and we protect it from monsters that cross over from other dimensions."

Malaes blinked in disbelief. "Monsters from other dimensions? Where exactly are we?"

Fheniz glanced at his master, who gave a slight nod. "This is the Gate of Ehayor," he said. "A place where worlds intersect, and beings from different realms can pass through. My Master, whom you see here, is Master Ehayor."

"Master Ehayor!" Yesdar and Malaes exclaimed in unison, their eyes widening in surprise. "We've been searching for Ehayor!"

Fheniz stepped forward, his expression serious. "Yes, Master Ehayor. And now, you have found him. But first, let me explain. Gris...waa's energy level is beyond calculation. Such power is rare, and it often belongs to those who harbor dark intentions. As guardians, it is our duty to protect the Gate from any potential threats."

Griswa nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "So, you sensed my presence and feared I might be a threat?"

Fheniz nodded. "Precisely. We had to be cautious. Now, about the Gate of Ehayor—this place is one among the nine gates of Schinong, a point where different worlds and dimensions converge. Monsters and other beings can enter through this gate, and it is our responsibility to protect it, we only kept it open because we were expecting someone, and that's you Gris...waa."

Yesdar, still trying to wrap his mind around the concept, asked, "But what exactly is Ehayor? And why were we looking for it if it's just a gate?"

Master Ehayor finally spoke, his voice calm and wise. "Ehayor is not just a place; it is a source of immense power and knowledge. It can grant unimaginable abilities to those who are deemed worthy. However, it is also a gateway, a passage between worlds. Understanding its nature is crucial."

Fheniz, noticing their confusion, suggested, "Perhaps it would be easier to show you. Step outside and see for yourselves."

Malaes and Yesdar followed Fheniz outside. As they stepped out, their eyes squinted against the bright sunlight. The stark contrast from the evening they had just left behind hit them hard. It was now broad daylight in another strange desert landscape.

"Is this what you call magic?" Yesdar asked, still adjusting to the light.

Fheniz shook his head. "No, it's not magic. It's natural, albeit extraordinary. You have entered a different world, a different dimension." his pace fast.

Malaes and Yesdar were amazed and confused. "So, we really are in a different world," Malaes whispered, still trying to comprehend the magnitude of their situation.

Griswa approached them. "Malaes, Yesdar, I know this is a lot to take in. But you need to rest. Sit down and let me talk to Master Ehayor. We need answers, and you both need to recover your strength."
