At the same time as Alden's duel, within the Territory of Earth, a vicious clash was taking place. The heavens boomed and shook, a thunderous noise splitting it apart.
Rain fell from the sky in great waves, and the wind was especially fierce. Amidst the chaos, pleasant and enchanting voices reverberated softly like gentle melodies.
They wormed their way into one's soul, disabling one's defences. A sense of peace and security welled within whoever heard it.
The defenders, individuals wearing earthen armour, resisted the insidious call to the best of their abilities. Unfortunately, the weaker warriors couldn't hold on very long, and thus, under the cunning command of these voices, they dove into the Haunted Archipelago.
Their fates were swiftly sealed.
As the battle progressed, the storm continued to grow in intensity.
And that's a wrap for Volume 1!
I'm still undecided on what to call it, but thank you to everyone who has read these 65 chapters so far. I hope you continue to enjoy Alden's story. I'll be taking a small break to prepare for the next volume, and hopefully, updates will be back to normal after that.
Happy reading :)
TIO will go on a two week hiatus
