The Ruins

Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu journeyed on, their next destination being Lakanrak city.As they walked, they stumbled upon a ruin of an old castle, hidden behind a thick veil offoliage. Appolo's eyes widened, and he whispered, "Nazdahara castle, the legendarystronghold of King Azdaram."

Michi looked at Appolo with curiosity, and Appolo continued, "You heard about the kingwho had the seven sins power 1000 years ago, right? So this is the ruin of his castle, wherehe once ruled with an iron fist."

Thelma's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Why not go and check it? You already told meeverything, so let's check it. We'll be lucky if we get some information about the ancientcivilization."

Michi nodded, and they ventured into the ruins, their footsteps echoing through thedesolate halls. The air was thick with an eerie silence, and the only sound was thecrunching of gravel beneath their feet.

As they explored the ruins, they stumbled upon ancient writings etched into the walls,telling the tale of a King's rise and fall. Nobody understood what they meant, but Michi'seyes widened as he approached the writings. "I can read it," he said, "but I don'tunderstand what it is. It's like a language I've never seen before."

Appolo and the others looked at Michi with surprise, and Michi continued, "I don't knowwhy I can read it, but these writings are very difficult to read... Wait, wait, there'ssomething...the King ... got the sins powers to..."

Suddenly, a blast rocked the ruins, sending Michi and his friends tumbling to the ground.The same shadow figure from the end of Spirit nation appeared, its presence ominous."You can't know too much," the shadow figure growled, "and if you know too much, thenyou have to die."

The shadow summoned a horde of skeletons, their bony hands grasping weapons. "Attackthem," the shadow commanded.

Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu stood ready, their hearts pounding with anticipation. Theyknew they had to face whatever lay ahead, together.

As the skeletons closed in, Michi's scythe flashed in the dim light, ready to strike. Appolo'sflames danced on his fingertips, while Thelma's thorns bristled with deadly intent. Henu'seyes gleamed with a fierce determination, his fists clenched.

Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu stood ready, their eyes fixed on the horde of skeletonsbefore them. The air was electric with tension as the two sides clashed in a flurry of steeland flame. The skeletons were relentless, their bony bodies seemingly impervious to pain.

Michi's scythe sliced through the skeletons with deadly precision, but there were too manyof them. Appolo's flames danced across the room, engulfing several skeletons at once, butthey just kept coming. Thelma's thorns ripped through the skeletons' bony flesh, but theydidn't seem to feel any pain. Henu's fists crushed the skeletons' skulls, but they justwouldn't stay down.

As the battle raged on, the four friends began to tire. Michi's scythe was covered in cracks,Appolo's flames were dwindling, Thelma's thorns were broken and battered, and Henu'sfists were bruised and bloody. But they refused to give up.

Just when it seemed like the tide was turning in their favor, the remaining skeletons joinedtogether, forming a massive skeleton unlike anything they had ever seen. Its bones were asblack as coal, and its eyes glowed with an eerie red light.

The four friends stood before it, their bodies bruised and battered. Michi's scythe wastrembling in his hand, Appolo's flames were flickering, Thelma's thorns were limp, andHenu's fists were shaking.

But they knew they had to keep fighting. With a fierce cry, they charged at the massiveskeleton, determined to take it down.

The battle was intense, with the four friends fighting for their lives. Michi's scythe slicedthrough the skeleton's ribs, Appolo's flames engulfed its skull, Thelma's thorns rippedthrough its spine, and Henu's fists crushed its pelvis.

But the skeleton just wouldn't die. It swung its massive fists, sending Michi flying across theroom. It stomped its foot, creating a shockwave that sent Appolo tumbling to the ground. Itswung its ribcage, knocking Thelma's thorns out of her hand. And it kicked Henu with itsbony leg, sending him crashing into the wall.

The four friends struggled to get back to their feet, but the skeleton was too powerful. Itraised its foot, ready to deliver the final blow.

Michi, Appolo, Thelma, and Henu stood ready, their eyes fixed on the massive skeletonbefore them. The air was electric with tension as the two sides clashed in a flurry of steeland flame. The skeleton was relentless, its bony body seemingly impervious to pain.

The fight was Intense, with the four friends fighting for their lives. Michi's claymore slicedthrough the skeleton's ribs, Appolo's flames engulfed its skull, Thelma's thorns rippedthrough its spine, and Henu's fists crushed its pelvis.

Suddenly Michi reached deep within himself and unleashed the power of his claymore. Ablast of energy shot out of his body, striking the skeleton with incredible force.

The skeleton stumbled backwards, its bones cracking and shattering. Michi took advantageof the distraction, striking the skeleton with all his might. Finally, with a mighty blow, Michislashed the skeleton's head and crushed it with his claymore.

As the skeleton collapsed to the ground, Michi's forehead stone turned golden. But hisvictory was short-lived, as the shadow reappeared and started to choke him from behind.Appolo and the others rushed to save Michi, but the shadow was too powerful. It went intoMichi's mouth and started to cut him from the inside out. Blood came out from everywhere,and Michi's face seemed weak as the blood flowed continuously.

Just as all hope seemed lost, a golden light dropped from above and enveloped Michi'sbody. The shadow screamed in agony and came out of Michi's mouth, and Michi turnedunconscious due to severe pain. But his wounds started to heal, and his body began toglow with a soft, golden light.

The shadow screamed and cursed, "Curses on you all, you fakes!" before turning into dust.Appolo carried Michi on his lap, and the others watched in awe as Michi regained hisconsciousness. Suddenly, a young boy with cat ears and a tail appeared out of nowhereand said, "You should say thank you to me for saving him nya."

Michi looked up at the boy and asked, "Who are you?"

The boy smiled and said, "The holder of the gem of pride, Nian! Nya!"And with that, a new chapter in Michi's journey began.
