Capítulo 31: The Crossroads of Destiny
In the silence of the night, inside their small hiding cave, Arya watched Laksmi studying the protective spell from the ancient book they had found in the temple ruins. The light from the small lantern cast soft shadows on Laksmi's determined face. Arya couldn't contain his admiration. Even though everything had turned complicated, Laksmi remained calm and focused on their goal.
"Have you found it?" Arya asked as he approached.
"This spell will provide temporary protection, but I'm not sure if it's strong enough to fight Raditya," Laksmi replied without taking her eyes off the book.
Arya clenched his fist. "He is not just our friend. He knows every weakness we have." We need to find a way to turn the situation around."
Not far from there, Arjuna was checking his weapons. His mind was filled with doubt and guilt. He feels responsible for Raditya's involvement in this battle. A soft whisper haunted her: Did I push him to the dark side?
Laksmi stopped her reading and turned to Arjuna. "We can't fight Raditya with just strength." He needs to be awakened. But, it won't be easy. We have to find a crack in his resolve."
Arjuna nodded weakly. "If that's what needs to be done, I'll try. But if he won't listen... we have to prepare for the worst."
The next morning, they approached a village that seemed to have been attacked by the forces of darkness. Arya led the way, observing every trace left by Raditya and his followers.
"These tracks lead north," Arya said, pointing to the wheel marks on the ground.
"He is carrying something." "Maybe an artifact stolen from the temple," added Laksmi.
They continued their journey until they finally arrived at a valley filled with thick fog. In the middle of the valley, there stood a magnificent yet grim fortress.
"That's their stronghold," Arya said while gazing at the fortress.
Arjuna tightened his grip on the sword. "We have to get in, but this will be a difficult task."
Lakshmi took out the scroll of spells she had prepared the night before. "I can clear the path, but we must move quickly." This fog might be cursed, and we can't stay in it for long."
With the power of Laksmi's spell, they managed to pass through the fog and approach the fortress. However, upon arriving there, they were confronted by Raditya who had been waiting at the main gate.
"You came too," said Raditya with a cold smile. "I've been waiting for this moment."
"Raditya, stop this!" "You don't have to continue down this path!" shouted Arya.
Raditya laughed. "This path? This path is the only choice left for me. "You never understand."
Arjuna stepped forward, his gaze filled with sadness. "We can fix everything." "You are not alone, Raditya."
However, Raditya raised his hand, and dark shadows began to circle around his body. "If you really care, prove it with strength."
The battle broke out. Arya and Laksmi worked together using a combination of their physical strength and spells, while Arjuna attempted to attack in the hope of penetrating Raditya's defenses without harming him.
However, Raditya is too strong. The dark shadow surrounding him looked like an unshakable wall.
"Arya! Laksmi! We must unite our strength!" shouted Arjuna in the midst of the battle.
Arya nodded and signaled to Laksmi. With trained speed, the three of them devised a strategy to trap Raditya within the protective circle of spells created by Laksmi.
"This is for you, Raditya. We will not give up!" Arya shouted with full conviction.
Raditya seemed momentarily shaken. Behind the dark shadow that enveloped him, his face seemed to show doubt.
"Raditya, remember who you really are!" shouted Laksmi, her voice trembling between hope and despair.
But before they could reach Raditya, a mysterious force from within the fortress surged towards them, breaking Laksmi's spell and throwing the three of them to the ground.
Raditya looked towards the source of the power, his face appeared shocked. "What... this isn't my part..." he murmured.
The tension is rising. At the moment the three of them rose again, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows of the fortress. The figure was tall, with glowing red eyes and a black cloak that billowed like flames.
"You are all just pawns in this game," said the figure in a cold voice.
Raditya looked shaken. "Who are you?" "I never agreed to this!"
The figure smiled coldly. "Agree or not, you are bound to me, Raditya." Your destiny is no longer yours."
Arya stared intently at that figure. "Who are you?"Who are you? What do you want?"
"I am the true owner of the power you seek," he replied. "And you are nothing more than a small nuisance in this grand plan."
This chapter ends with simmering tension, leaving readers in great anticipation for a larger battle in the next chapter.
When the night began to swallow the light, the forest where they were hiding was filled with faint sounds. The trees rustled as if whispering something incomprehensible. Arya stood at the edge of the campsite, gazing into the darkness.
"Laksmi, it's time," he said without turning.
Laksmi approached him, clutching the ancient book that had been their source of knowledge all this time. "I'm ready. But this is just the first step." After this, there is no turning back.
Arya turned, his eyes showing a determination that steadied the heart.We have come too far to turn back now.
Behind them, Arjuna was preparing his weapon. Although silent, he looked restless. The shadow of Raditya, who has now become their enemy, continues to haunt him. How can I save a friend who has lost himself?
On the other side of the valley, Raditya stood atop the fortress tower, gazing at the mist enveloping the valley. However, his thoughts were not focused on the enemy that might come. There is another war he is facing a war against himself.
The mysterious figure that had appeared earlier now stood beside him. "Your doubt is your weakness, Raditya," he said coldly.
"I do not doubt my strength," Raditya replied. "I just want to know, is this really the only path?"
The figure chuckled softly, a sound that trembled the air around them. "The choice was made the moment you accepted my power." "Don't forget, you are here not by force, but by your own will."
Raditya fell silent. Those words, though true, felt like shackles that only added to the burden on his shoulders.
Arya, Laksmi, and Arjuna finally arrived in front of the dark and towering fortress gate. Without waiting long, Arya pushed the gate with all his might. The door opened slowly, revealing a long corridor filled with dim light from torches along the walls.
"This is the place," Arya said in a low voice.
They walked slowly, wary of every movement. However, before they could take another step, a loud laugh echoed through the entire corridor.
"Welcome," said Raditya, emerging from the shadows."Welcome," said Raditya, emerging from the shadows.
Arya and Laksmi stopped in their tracks, while Arjuna stepped forward. "Raditya, enough. Stop this before it's too late."
Raditya laughed again, but this time there was a hidden note of sadness behind it. "You came to stop me?"Did you come to stop me? Or to try to save me?"
"We came to bring you back," Laksmi replied firmly.
However, before they could continue, a mysterious figure appeared behind Raditya. "A touching conversation, but unfortunately, our time is limited."
Arya immediately recognized the aura of darkness surrounding that figure. "You! You are the one who has ruined it!"
The figure smiled. "I only offered what he needed. The rest, it was his own choice."
Raditya looked down, but then straightened his body again. "You think this can be resolved with words?" Let's see who is stronger.
The battle began. Arya and Arjuna tried to approach Raditya, while Laksmi used her spells to fight the mysterious figure. However, the dark power enveloping Raditya and that figure seems too strong for them to confront.
Arya launched a barrage of attacks, but Raditya always managed to evade them effortlessly. "You still think you can defeat me, Arya?" You don't know how far I've come.
Meanwhile, Laksmi was starting to get exhausted from facing the attacks of the mysterious figure. "I need time!" she shouted to Arya and Arjuna.
Arjuna tried to distract Raditya. "Raditya! It's me, your friend." You don't need to do this. Remember who you are."
However, Raditya only smiled coldly.Friend? What kind of friend lets me fall this far?
Those words pierced Arjuna's heart, but he knew this was not the time to give up. "I'm here now, Raditya." I will not leave you."
The battle continued, growing more intense with each attack launched. However, amidst the chaos, a small light began to emerge in Raditya's heart. Do they really care?
