The Lost Shadow War

Chapter 12: At the Gates of the Great Battle



The News of the Elders

• While the heroes are recovering in camp, news arrives that the great elders are moving to support them.

Hesham (smiling): "I never expected to see these men again. When the elders move, it means things have reached their peak."

• The elders:

1. Sheikh Maheeb: A legendary tribe leader with immense physical strength, wielding a giant axe said to be crafted from celestial stone.

2. Sheikh Qais: A wise and skilled healer, with spiritual abilities that allow him to read and manipulate his enemies' intentions.

3. Sheikha Zainab: Masterful with dual swords, known for her speed and unparalleled strength, a symbol of bravery among the tribes.

Raghab's Plans at His Headquarters

• In a distant stronghold surrounded by magical shadows, Raghab discusses his plans with Shimar.

Raghab: "I want the next battle to be a lesson for them. If the elders have arrived, it means my enemies are really starting to unite."

Shimar: "I'll send the Shadow Lords to delay them. Every minute they waste plays into our hands."

• Raghab's commanders:

1. Kassandra: A wicked sorceress who controls toxic winds, known as a silent killer.

2. Grafton: A massive fighter capable of turning his body into deadly stone, making him a living shield.

3. Fayros: A swift duelist who wields a poisoned sword and can launch deadly air blades.

The Arrival of the Elders

• The elders arrive at the camp, surrounded by an aura of power, surprising everyone.

Maheeb (in a deep voice): "Where are the enemies of the light? We've come to end the darkness."

Zainab (with a confident smile): "And where are the young heroes? We've heard so much about your adventures."

• Samer looks at Ziyan and winks at him.

Samer (sarcastically): "I think they're talking about me. Ziyan isn't very good at heroic adventures."

Ziyan (smiling): "At least I don't run away when things get tough!"

• While advancing toward Raghab's stronghold, the army is ambushed by Kassandra and her toxic wind soldiers.

Kassandra: "The elders, the heroes of light… you won't leave here alive!"

• The toxic winds spread, causing soldiers to fall one by one.

• Qais uses his spiritual abilities to create a barrier that blocks the toxins.

Qais: "Don't underestimate the elders, Kassandra. Our power is unlike anything you've known!"

• Layan strikes at Kassandra with incredible speed, but Kassandra vanishes into a whirlwind of winds.

Samer (calmly): "It's her turn now, but we'll bring her back to the ground soon."

• In a narrow valley, Grafton appears to face the team.

Grafton: "This is your place of death. No stone will let you pass!"

• A fierce battle ensues, with weapons breaking against his stone body.

• Maheeb faces him directly, using his giant axe to block his strikes.

Maheeb (smiling): "Is that all you've got? I've seen rocks harder than you!"

• The battle ends when Ziyan and Samer team up with Maheeb to destroy Grafton by delivering a focused strike to his weak spot.

• Fayros appears at night, attacking the camp with his swift movements and poisoned sword.

Fayros: "You won't sleep tonight. Darkness doesn't need rest."

• Zainab intervenes, blocking his swift strikes with her dual swords.

Zainab: "You're fast, but I'm faster. You won't escape me."

• A thrilling battle ensues between the two, ending when Hesham interferes and disables Fayros's sword with his spiritual skill.

• With the defeat of Grafton, Kassandra's retreat, and Fayros's flight, the dark powers surrounding the area begin to weaken.

• The soldiers feel better, and the elders discuss the next strategy.

Qais: "Raghab is only testing us. We must expect that the real battle hasn't even begun."

Talking About Raghab

• The soldiers whisper about Raghab's ability to control the shadows, wondering if even the elders can face him.

Soldier 1: "If his commanders are this powerful, how strong is Raghab himself?"

Soldier 2: "The elders are here. Maybe they can stop him."

Soldier 3: "But is that enough?"

• Samer joins the conversation.

Samer (sarcastically): "If Raghab loves the darkness so much, we'll light up his world a little!"

• Raghab is in his headquarters, watching the team's movements through a magical mirror.

Raghab (calmly): "So, this is how it is… the elders are complicating things."

Shimar: "Do you want to intervene?"

Raghab: "No. Let them come closer. Our plan isn't complete yet."

• The elders and heroes unite with the army to prepare for the assault on Raghab's stronghold.

Hesham: "Don't expect the next battle to be easy. Every step will take something from you."

• Layan looks at Ziyan and Samer.

Layan: "Are we ready?"

Ziyan (confidently): "More than ever."

Samer (sarcastically): "As long as we fight with the elders, it seems like we've got a better chance!"
