The Lost Shadow War

Chapter 10: The Path of Light and Darkness”



An Unexpected Oasis

• While advancing through the mountains, the team discovers a strange green oasis amidst barren rocks.

Samer (astonished): "Is this a miracle? Or am I dreaming from all the exhaustion?"

Lyan: "Be careful. This place looks too perfect to be safe."

• Upon investigation, an old jinn named "Sivan" appears, claiming to be a former servant of Ragheb who fled due to his cruelty.

Sivan: "Ragheb is not just a king; he is a legend fueled by darkness. If you wish to face him, you must first understand his power."

Sivan's Training

• Sivan decides to help the team by teaching them special techniques to combat the creatures of darkness.

• The soldiers start learning new skills, while Ziyan, Lyan, and Samer undergo intense individual training:

• Ziyan learns to use his strength to wield his sword more efficiently.

• Lyan enhances her speed, allowing her to attack and defend simultaneously.

• Samer masters how to turn his arrows into tools for illuminating dark areas and confusing enemies.

Sivan (addressing Samer): "You have potential, but you need focus. Your sarcasm may become your weakness."

Samer (jokingly): "I think I'll always fight darkness with a sense of humor."

• Ragheb sends a massive shadow creature to block the team's progress.

• The battle rages on as the team struggles to find a way to defeat the creature.

• Ziyan manages to strike its weak point, but not before sustaining a deep wound in his shoulder.

• Lyan saves him, but an injury to her leg slows her down.

Samer: "Why is it always you two who get hit? Looks like I'm the luckier one!"

Lyan (with a tired smile): "Or perhaps more cautious."

Rest and Recovery

• The team retreats to a safe spot in the oasis to recover.

• The soldiers assist Ziyan and Lyan while Samer lightens the mood with his jokes.

Samer: "I think I'll ask for a bigger reward after all these injuries I didn't get!"

Ziyan: "Your reward will double if you stop exhausting us with your chatter."

• During the rest, Lyan notices a new soldier acting suspiciously.

• Upon observing him, she discovers he's been sending secret signals to Ragheb's forces.

• He is captured but refuses to confess his betrayal.

Ziyan (angrily): "Betrayal at this time will lead us all to ruin."

Samer (sarcastically): "At least we have something new to entertain us… interrogating a traitor."

• The team decides to infiltrate a small shadow camp to gather information.

• Samer leads the mission with his stealth skills, while Ziyan and Lyan cover him.

• They find documents indicating that Ragheb is preparing to summon a legendary creature of darkness.

Samer (whispering): "Why can't he summon something nice, like a little bird?"

Battle in the Camp

• They are discovered inside the camp, leading to a fierce fight.

• Lyan fights skillfully despite her previous injury, while Ziyan takes on the main commander.

• Samer manages to blow up the camp using his magical arrows, disorienting the enemies and allowing them to escape.

Returning with the Documents

• The team returns to the oasis with the documents.

• Sivan reads them and discovers that the legendary creature is the "King of Shadows," a being no one has faced and survived.

Sivan: "If Ragheb intends to summon this creature, it will be the end of the world."

Ziyan: "We must stop him at all costs."

• The soldiers whisper among themselves about Ziyan's and Lyan's strength and Samer's life-saving arrows.

Soldier 1: "Ziyan is the warrior we need, but Lyan is no less important."

Soldier 2: "And Samer… his light-heartedness helps us get through tough times."

• The team begins planning their final assault on Ragheb's stronghold.

Lyan: "We can't wait any longer. The longer we delay, the stronger Ragheb becomes."

Samer: "And I'd like to finish this before we face another giant thing."

Ziyan: "We will be ready. We are so close to victory."
