The Spark of Upcoming Battles

• As night falls, the elders and heroes gather to discuss the information gathered from their recent infiltration.

Naif: "Zafir isn't just a commander. It seems his strength comes directly from the Light and Darkness Stone itself."

Haroun: "He's a warning sign. We need to understand this stone before it's too late."

• The elders decide to divide their forces into smaller groups to infiltrate different locations in Ragheb's camp and gather more intelligence.

• During one of the missions, a small group led by Sheikh Jabran is ambushed by Zafir and his men.

Zafir: "I thought I broke you in our last battle. Are you here to test your luck again?"

• Jabran retaliates fiercely, using his wind-based techniques and light weapons.

• The fight becomes intense, with injuries on both sides, but Jabran manages to retreat with his men after dealing some damage to Zafir's forces.

Jabran: "This is only the beginning, Zafir. The worst is yet to come."

• Urgent messages are sent to the remaining elders who have yet to join, including Sheikh Hazaa, Ziyan's father.

Haroun: "If the others don't come, this battle will end before it even starts."

• In a separate scene, Sheikh Hazaa is shown in a distant desert, hesitating to join due to personal conflicts and memories of Ragheb.

• During one of their missions, Samer, Ziyan, and Lian encounter a new commander from Ragheb's army named Qareen—a tall man with green eyes and pale skin.

Qareen: "You're just children playing in a war far beyond your grasp. You will fail, just like those before you."

• A battle ensues immediately. Qareen uses unfamiliar techniques, including summoning shadow creatures.

Samer (in pain): "Could he be worse than Zafir?"

Ziyan (joking): "At least this one doesn't talk much!"

• The fight drags on, with both sides showing different tactics. Lian demonstrates her mastery with daggers, while Samer shows exceptional courage despite his injuries.

Qareen: "You don't know what you're up against. Ragheb is closer to victory than you think."

• The battle ends with Qareen retreating after sustaining injuries, but he leaves them with a chilling warning:

Qareen: "Next time, I won't be so merciful."

• Ragheb is shown in his distant lair with his advisor, Shemar.

Ragheb: "Our forces are ready. It's time to crush them all."

Shemar: "Let them try. No matter what they do, the stone will be ours."

• A separate scene shows Sheikh Hazaa talking to his men about why he hesitates to join.

Hazaa: "I know Ragheb. He's not just a tyrant. He's a monster who knows how to break his enemies from the inside out."

• His men try to convince him to join, especially after Haroun's messages highlighting their need for him.

• Back at the camp, the elders decide to use ancient techniques to set traps around Ragheb's camp.

Haroun: "We won't attack them directly. We'll make them come to us."

Naif: "This will be risky, but if it works, our chances will improve."

New reinforcements in Ragheb's army are revealed, including summoned creatures and warriors trained by Shemar.

Ragheb: "Nothing will stop me. Not the elders, not their so-called heroes."

• The chapter concludes with Sheikh Hazaa finally deciding to join the alliance, but he places a condition on his son, Ziyan: to be prepared to face the truth about their family's past.

Hazaa: "If you're going to stand in this war, you need to know what you're truly fighting for."
