Episode 21:
Into the Dark Castle
Night covered the Shadow Mountains as Arian and Lyra quietly moved toward the Dark Kingdom.
The giant black castle stood like a monster in the darkness.
"Are you sure about the secret path?" Arian asked.
Lyra nodded.
"There is an old tunnel beneath the mountain. The Dark Prince rarely guards it."
They walked through a narrow rocky path until they reached a hidden stone door covered in ancient symbols.
Lyra pushed it slowly.
The door opened with a low rumbling sound.
Inside was a dark underground tunnel.
Cold wind blew through the corridor.
Arian held his glowing sword in front of him.
"This place feels… wrong."
Lyra whispered,
"Stay close."
As they walked deeper, strange whispers echoed from the walls.
Suddenly—
Shadow creatures jumped out of the darkness.
Arian reacted instantly.
Blue light burst from his sword as he fought them.
After a short but intense battle, the shadows disappeared.
Lyra looked at him with surprise.
"You've gotten stronger."
Arian looked toward the castle above them.
"I have to."
"Luna is waiting."
But neither of them noticed the small black crystal glowing on the wall.
The Dark Prince was watching everything.
