Siverra moved quickly through the forest, his eyes locked on the distant horizon, as he set his sights on the Mana River. His mind was focused on the task at hand, his determination unwavering. He couldn't rely on anyone else to help him, not even Garcis, his former ally. He had to do it all himself.
With each step, Siverra's thoughts grew more intense. "If that bastard Garcis refuses to help me...I'll just have to take it all myself!" he muttered. A cruel smile spread across his face, an expression that even he found unnerving.
The forest around him was dense and alive with the sounds of nature. Birds chirped, leaves rustled, and the distant sound of rushing water could be heard in the distance. Siverra continued on his path, his feet pounding the ground beneath him.
He paused for a moment, looking around him. The dense canopy of trees that surrounded him seemed to go on forever. But he knew his way. Garcis had shown him a secret path, one that would lead him straight to the Mana River. The river held the key to his power, and he was determined to claim it.
Siverra picked up his pace, casting a spell to increase his agility. His legs glowed blue as the magic took hold, and he began to move with lightning-fast speed. He leaped over fallen trees, dodged around rocks, and weaved through the thick underbrush.
As he ran, he contemplated his plan. He had to take the Mana River for himself, and he couldn't let anyone else stand in his way. Even Garcis, who had helped him in the past, was now his enemy. Siverra knew he was strong enough to defeat him, especially with the help of his monster, Bubbles.
Meanwhile, Garcis was back at his home, speaking to a female warrior. She wore a large suit of armor and carried a broadsword on her back. Her blonde hair flowed down her back, and her blue eyes were piercing. Her name was Shina, and she was a member of the Royal Guard.
"What did you need from me, Garcis?" Shina asked, rolling her eyes at him. She had no respect for him, and it showed in her tone.
"I need your help with something," Garcis explained, his face serious. "I have a lead on the beast that's ruining all of the dungeons. There's also treasure involved."
Shina raised an eyebrow. "I see. What's in it for me?"
Garcis knew he had to be careful with his words. Shina was not one to be trifled with. "Valle...I need--"
Shina interrupted him, her voice rising. "Valle? You know that's a name I don't go by anymore. I'm Royal Guard Shina. Don't forget that, commoner."
Garcis felt a twinge of fear. Shina was dangerous, and he knew it. But he also saw an opportunity. He could use the beast to take her out and claim her gear, along with the Void Flame gloves. He smiled to himself, playing with his hands as he contemplated his plan.
Shina sat back down, her arms still crossed. "So...explain to me! What exactly do I need to do and for what?"
Garcis didn't hesitate. "Void Flame gloves. That's your prize. I need you to kill a man and help me defeat this monster. With your assistance, it should be easy."
Shina's eyes widened at the mention of the gloves. "Easy. For Void Flame gloves? Heck, I'd kill much more innocent people for those,"
'Siverra is as good as dead now!' Garcis internally smiled as he planned just how they would kill Siverra..
