The Lost Shadow War

The Army's Discord Begins

• The team and their soldiers march toward Raghb's stronghold, but tension starts to grow among the soldiers.

• Some soldiers discuss the absence of the tribal elders in battle.

Soldier 1: "Where are the tribal elders? Their strength would make this much easier."

Soldier 2: "The elders have their wisdom, but it seems they're waiting for something… maybe the right moment?"

Soldier 3 (mockingly): "Or are they waiting for us to be crushed before acting?"

• Samer overhears the conversation and steps in to defuse the tension.

Samer: "Leave the judgment to the elders. We may not understand their plans now, but they won't abandon us."

Ziyan (loudly): "Focus on our current mission. We're all here to end the darkness."

In Raghb's Throne Room

• In his dark stronghold, Raghb stands before his army leaders in a grand hall filled with ominous winds.

Raghb: "Tell me, where are my enemies now?"

• Shemar, a cunning strategist and advisor, steps forward.

Shemar: "Your enemies are approaching, but they are exhausted. We should strike before they advance further."

• A powerful mythical being named Kirhan enters the hall.

Kirhan: "If you wish, I'll destroy them myself, my lord."

Raghb (with a calm smile): "Don't rush. Let them come closer. The darkness will do what you cannot."

Meeting the Great Master

• The team reaches an ancient valley surrounded by crumbling ruins, where they meet Hisham, an elderly master with immense power.

Hisham: "I've been waiting for you. You cannot face Raghb without understanding the secrets of his power."

• Hisham begins teaching them how Raghb uses shadows as part of his strength and reveals his possible weaknesses.

• Everyone trains under Hisham, focusing on overcoming their vulnerabilities:

• Ziyan learns mental resilience against the darkness.

• Layan hones her senses to navigate in complete darkness.

• Samer learns to blend his humor with focus to reduce the shadows' effects on him.

Hisham: "You are not alone. But you must be stronger than you are now."

Facing the Shadow Barrier

• On their path, they encounter a barrier of moving shadows that manipulate the mind.

• The soldiers are forced to confront their darkest memories, causing some to collapse.

• Layan uses her speed to guide the soldiers out, while Ziyan fights the shadows fiercely despite his exhaustion.

• Samer devises a plan to confuse the shadows by using specialized arrows that illuminate the area.

Samer (sarcastically): "I've lit the place up, so please stop hiding!"

Battle with Kirhan

• The team reaches a wide plain, where Kirhan, a mighty shadow leader, awaits them.

Kirhan (mockingly): "At last, Raghb's enemies. Did you think you'd reach him so easily?"

• A fierce battle ensues, lasting a long time.

• Ziyan fights Kirhan directly, but his overwhelming power forces Ziyan to retreat several times.

• Layan focuses on distracting Kirhan, while Samer searches for his weak point.

Samer: "All this darkness, and you couldn't find time to bathe? No wonder you're always angry!"

• Ziyan lands a decisive blow on Kirhan with Samer's arrow, but the battle leaves the team with severe injuries.

The Elders Take Action

• In a distant location, the tribal elders gather after hearing about the team's progress.

Elder 1: "We can't let them face Raghb alone. It's time to act."

Elder 2: "But if we intervene now, we may expose our secrets."

Elder 3 (firmly): "If they fall, everything will fall."

• In Raghb's camp, conflicts arise among his soldiers over decisions made by Shemar and Kirhan.

Soldier 1: "Raghb is sending us to die for no reason!"

Soldier 2: "Silence. The king has a plan, and we're here to follow it."

• Raghb appears, silencing the discussion.

Raghb (coldly): "No one questions my orders. If you do, you'll be the first to test the darkness."

• The team retreats to a safe location to heal, but the injuries leave them weaker than before.

• The soldiers begin complaining again, but Hisham urges them to endure.

Hisham: "The battle isn't over yet. What you've faced was just the beginning."

Uncovering Internal Betrayal

• The team discovers that one of their soldiers has been sending reports to Raghb.

• Under intense pressure, the traitor confesses:

Traitor: "Raghb knew all your moves… but I no longer wish to help him."

• They use his information to revise their attack plan.
