...The Right Color...

Dylan couldn't express how relieved and happy he was when Aaron showed up at that moment. He has been struggling alone while being very anxious about everyone's safety since he didn't have enough power to protect them.

" I admit that Aaron's presence with us is more important than I thought. despite his lack of reasoning sometimes, there is no way we can continue this mission without him. "

- Dylan, why are you looking at me in such a lovely way? You are giving me goosebumps.

- Stop saying nonsense, other monsters are coming. Take care of them while I think about a solution.

Aaron used his power to kill any monster that got closer to them while Dylan took some moments to focus on resolving the clue. Sarra and Laila joined him to help.

- So, according to the clue, I wasn't supposed to touch the gold that was at the bottom of the fountain. But what does mean this phrase? Put what you took and take what you need. What should I put? and What do I need?

- I think we must put something inside the fountain instead of taking the gold.

- Yeah, I think that too, but what is this thing exactly? I can't do anything recklessly or the situation will get worse.

Meanwhile, Aaron was fighting the monsters. they were crawling from every corner.

- HURRY UP, DYLAN. I'M STARTING TO GET WEAKER. I FEEL LIKE MY POWER IS BEING SUCKED BY THIS PLACE. I WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOU LONGER.

Suddenly the ground started shaking under their feet.

- WHAT IS GOING ON?

Aaron screamed:

- BE CAREFUL, THE PLACE STARTED TO COLLAPSE. WE MUST MOVE.

The loud voices and the screams woke Mei up.

She opened her eyes and became very surprised to see such a horrific sight.

- W...What is going on here?

Sarra grabbed her hand:

- COME ON, LET'S GO.

They started running while the ground was collapsing under their feet.

- HURRY UP! WE MUST GO TO THE FOUNTAIN. IT IS OUR ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF HERE

Aaron helped Dylan and Laila to reach the fountain. As for Sarra and Mei, they were still behind.

- RUN, MEI, RUN

Aaron wanted to help them, but he was out of power already. He could only scream:

- KEEP GOING, SARRA, YOU WILL SOON GET HER.

Unfortunately, before reaching the fountain, the ground collapsed, and Mei fell. Sarra grabbed her from her hand before she falls into endless darkness.

- MEI, HOLD ON TIGHT!

Sarra was very weak, she couldn't use her magic to save Mei!

- TRY TO CLIMB UP, I WILL USE WHAT REMAINS FROM MY MAGIC TO HELP YOU.

Mei looked at Sarra, who was trying her best to rescue her, while she tried so many times to kill her.

- Why won't you let me fall, won't be that the best for you?

- SHUT UP AND START TO CLIMB. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THAT YOUR GRANDFATHER FILLED UP YOUR BRAIN WITH THAT CRAP. NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE.

Mei's tears started dropping, she realized that she was wrong. Sarra was indeed a good woman. she was better than her, who was blinded by hatred.

- I'm sorry...

- I SAID SHUT UP....YOUR GRANDMOTHER WON'T FORGIVE ME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU.

Mei felt that she became lighter because of the magic, she could climb up easily.

- Thank you.

Sarra dragged her from her hand and ran again:

- THANK ME WHEN WE GET OUT OF THIS PLACE SAFELY.

They finally reached the fountain:

- Now what? The fountain will soon collapse as well.

Dylan looked at the black water.

- Damn it, what should I put in there? Something that I took!

Suddenly Laila screamed:

- THE DIAMONDS! WE TOOK THE DIAMONDS.

- RIGHT! How could I forget that? But the diamonds are with Aramis.

- I took them back in case we needed them.

Dylan became pissed:

- You met him? When?

Sarra sighed:

- This is not the time for that, Dylan. Let's throw the diamonds and see what's going to happen.

Laila took out the diamonds quickly and threw them into the fountain. As soon as the diamonds reached the bottom, the water became clear, and the earthquake stopped.

- IT WORKED!

- NOW WE MUST TAKE WHAT WE NEED!

They took a closer look at the bottom of the fountain, there were a lot of golden coins and gemstones.

- What should we take? There are so many gems!

- What we need is not gold or diamonds. There are rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.

Dylan took a moment to think. He reached his hand, but he couldn't make a decision.

- We must choose the right color...Which one should I take?

Suddenly, and without notice, Laila took an emerald.

- LAILA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WE ARE NOT SURE YET!

- LOOK!

At that moment, the dragon appeared again...
