(The way to the old man).

(Zayan) and his fellow warriors got ready and rode their horses, heading to Mount (Mayani).

A conversation took place between them as they galloped on their horses:

Daniel: Guys, look at the bright side of it. We are going on a trip together. We will have a lot of fun. Other than that, I am very handsome. My handsomeness will give you positive energy continuously. Make sure of this.

Zayan, smiling, with a little affected expression on his face, said: "Look at yourself, you look like my brother Nayan, with your confidence and your arrogant manner."

They all laughed at his politeness.

Zayan's facial features changed, becoming sharper and more serious.

Let's joke now (Lucas) tell me now about that path that leads us to that mountain. I heard that it has two paths. Which path did you take?

Lucas: Yes, Commander, that mountain has two paths, one for soldiers when they come to the magicians to meet the Emperor's demands, and the other path is for magicians. No one can cross it except them because it is full of traps and dangers.

Sai replied with a look of astonishment on his face: Wah really what you say it looks more interesting and we will have fun.

Daniel: I also heard this from many people who used to live near the mountain, and for them this mountain is a dark and cursed nightmare that brings death.

Zayan Lucas happened: So tell us how the mercenaries entered the mountain and how were you able to follow them?

Daniel: Yeah, yeah, tell us. I'm excited to hear their story. I love stories so much.

Sai turned his head towards Daniel and was upset: You idiot, why did you act like we were going on a rabbit hunting trip with our families? Don't you know that we can never come back alive from this mountain?

Daniel is smiling and moving the features of his face, he looked very nice: When you are so tense, warrior Sai, I am with you and I will protect you, do not be afraid.

Sai: Come over here, brat, I'll kill you before we even get home.

Zayan: Why don't you stop this childish behavior? Let Lucas continue talking to her, the two brats.

Lucas: The mercenaries were sent by the Emperor, and they were his followers, and they moved by his orders to resurrect and increase the misery of the peasants of the village (Nakoto), so when they entered the mountain, they entered through the Emperor's soldiers, and I was able to cross when I crept behind them and killed one of the soldiers and disguised himself as him so that I could cross this What happened in that period when I was gone.

Zayan shook his head, saying: Well, then we have to cross the path of the witches and pass all the traps they set, we have to protect each other and come back alive from this journey.

Daniel claps his hands excitedly: I'm burning with energy, I'm going to cross them all and kill the witches and cut them in half with this sword of mine.

Lucas looked at him: Daniel, if you die, I will bring you back to life and kill you again, do you understand?

Daniel confidently raised his eyebrows: Look and you will see what the warrior Daniel will do.

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, I'll see, I'm sure of that.

Zayan pulled the reins of his horse and said to his companions:

Come on, we have to hurry now to reach a place near the mountain road and camp there before it gets dark, and in the morning we start entering the mountain road.

His comrades: Yes, that's a good idea. We have to hurry up, then.

Zayan excitedly: Let's go.

They reached a valley with many dense trees far from sight, and the night began to prevail around.

Zayan: This is the right place where we will camp today, and we must not light a fire so that none of the magicians will notice us. We must be careful in everything we do.

The next day, the warriors woke up and began to prepare themselves to enter the path of the cursed magicians

Sai: I have a bad feeling, this place is swarming with incredibly negative energy.

While they were walking with their horses, they saw the road and approached it. The atmosphere was very quiet and suspicious. There was only the sound of their horses' feet echoing, but they continued to advance and entered the path of the cursed magicians. There was no one there, which made them more careful and ready.

The horses started behaving strangely, as if they seemed to see something they did not see, and it frightened them very much, then they began to act crazy, trying to throw their owner off their backs.

Zayan: What happens when horses act like this??!.

Sai: Looks like they were put under a spell (hallucinations).

Zayan trying to control the horse: What?? The spell (hallucinations) it's damn magic they're starting to use their magic on us.

Zayan looked at his companions and commanded them and said: Come on, we have to get off the horses, otherwise we will become weaker like this.

They began to descend, and each of them drew his sword, ready for any attack they would face.

Suddenly they began to feel that people were attacking them with swords, but they could not see them.

Daniel: Damn, what's going on how are we going to fight guys we can't even see? ... What'll we do.

Zayan, showing signs of extreme anger: We have to fight them and stand firm, we are only at the beginning.

Lucas: But, Commander, how will we fight them when we don't see anything?

Zayan: All we have to do now is block the blows we receive, trust our instincts as fighters, and feel in which direction the next blow will be.

Sai: Daniel, watch your back quickly.

Daniel: What?!.

Daniel sustained a deep wound in his shoulder while he was busy repelling attacks from the front.

Zayan: Damn, Daniel are you okay?? Hold on, we will come to you.

In a sudden and unexpected moment, a very beautiful girl appeared, dressed in a black robe covering her head, and cast a spell on the soldiers and horses.

Zayan and his companions began to see these invisible soldiers, they were spirits that were summoned by the magicians using the lower black magic and used them to carry out the orders of the magicians, and they began to fight them and get rid of them.

Lucas: Damn, what is it, they number in the thousands.

Zayan: Sai, quickly go check on Daniel and protect him

Sai: Alright sir.

The girl began to fight with them. She was highly skilled in combat, unlike her appearance, which seemed to be a girl with a weak and small body. She is really a very great girl.

What will happen with Zayan and his three warriors Will they be able to pass this stage of the path and overcome these evil spirits, or will they be defeated? What is the secret of this girl and her mysterious power, and why did she help them?

next....
