domination,make kingdoms kneel before them—a world where darkness prevails. These spirits, when unleashed, release a poisonous fume called miasma. It plagues the people of the kingdoms, making them sick and sometimes even causing death. Even animals are not spared from its grasp."
Tilla's pupils expanded in realization. "Wait, so these evil spirits are the ones that are vanquished by Raina's rain?"
Zanus nodded, his expression grave. "Indeed, it is a threat that must be thwarted at all costs. The malevolent spirits they seek to summon are entities that have been banished by the purifying touch of rain, and their return could spell disaster for both mortals and immortals."
Rue's sentence was edged with concern. "That sounds like a nightmare."
Zanus nodded again. "Yes. The rain acts as a purifying force, banishing the spirits from this realm. The Dark Eye's plan is to gather an unprecedented number of these spirits and unleash them, overwhelming the balance between worlds."
Raina's utterance was laced with concern. "But how does that grey elf-Veruke fit into this? And who are The Dark Eye specifically?"
Zanus's expression turned somber. "Veruke was a once-loyal guardian of this realm who succumbed to the allure of power and darkness. The Dark Eye is an organization of individuals who share his twisted ambition. They seek to harness the very spirits that your rain dispels."
Raina's eyes blazed with audacity. "Then we can't allow them to succeed."
Zanus agreed, a sense of hope in his eyes. "Then there is a task you must undertake. In the far east, there lies the Rain Temple—an ancient place of might and purity. Perform the sacred ritual there, and your rain will carry the power to cleanse the world."
Raina's determination was unbreakable. "I'll go to the Rain Temple and perform the ritual. I'll bring an end to the miasma and the threat of The Dark Eye."
Zanus's timbre projected a solemn yet reassuring tone. "My daughter, this is a task of great importance. The fate of the realms lies in your hands. But remember, you are not alone. Rue, Tilla, you are Raina's companions and allies. Together, you can overcome even the darkest of forces."
Rue was showing unwavering support. "Raina, you've got this. We're right here with you, every step of the way."
Tilla added with a grin, "And don't forget, we've got some powerful flames and a whole lot of determination on our side."
“Thank you,it means a lot to me… Your presence gives me strength.”Raina is grateful for the support.
"Thank you, Father, for your wisdom and guidance. I will go to the Rain Temple and fulfill my duty."
Zanus's talking was full of pride and love. "May the storms and skies protect you, Raina. The fate of the realms rests in your hands."
With Rue and Tilla at her side, Raina left the presence of her father and embarked on the journey to the far east—the location of the Rain Temple. As they walked through diverse landscapes and encountered the beauty of the world, their spirits remained resolute and their steps purposeful.
In one village, they were welcomed with open arms . The villagers' laughter and camaraderie were infectious, and for a brief moment, the weight of their quest was lifted.
Yet, not all places were as welcoming. In a distant village, they witnessed the thirst-stricken desperation of a community grappling with drought. The well was dry, and the ground cracked beneath their feet, a stark reminder of the delicate balance between nature and survival.
Raina's heart ached for them, recognizing the touch of The Dark Eye's malevolent influence.
Passing through a meadow, they encountered a stream that flowed with crystalline water. They rested by its banks, the sound of flowing water soothing their spirits. Rue playfully splashed his face with water, eliciting laughter from Tilla. Raina's eyes held a serene sparkle as she watched their carefree moment—a reminder that even in their quest, there was room for simple joys.
Amidst fields of wildflowers , valleys and finally a desert shrouded in mist, they came upon a clearing where a lone figure stood. An elf unlike any they had met before. He had long hair and his attire was a striking blend of green and black, and he was armed with a silver bow that emitted a gentle light. Darting through the air were arrows made of pure light, each striking with precision.Raina's eyes narrowed in recognition. "Is that... an Elf?"
Tilla's interest was scaling as she observed the newcomer. "I've heard of Elfs—elemental beings who have a connection to nature."
Raina's voice held a note of curiosity. "You're an elf, but you're different from the one who attacked me. Who are you?"
As they approached the Elf, he turned to regard them with a friendly smile. His eyes held a glimmer of mischief that contrasted with his calm demeanor. "Greetings, travelers. I am Marsh, a wanderer of these lands,seeking to protect the balance that sustains them."
Rue's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Protect the balance? Just like us!"
Rue's interest was piqued. "A wanderer? What brings you to these parts?"
Marsh's smirk held a hint of playfulness. "I roam the realms, seeking beauty and balance. Nature's whispers guide me."
