At the end of the tunnel Risk truly saw mahad, he was waiting for them with a horse and he's riding on it.
"You're on time, hop in!" Risk nodded and then he threw Zell to Mahad back and then rode to another horse. They immediately leave the land again, and this time maybe it will take time for them to be back.
They ran for the whole night, they just stopped when they saw the sun rising and they saw a river in the middle of the forest. They didn't know how far they would go, but for sure they were far enough.
Risk and Mahad go down from riding their horse, after they put a blanket in the ground they laid Zell there. They heard the running water, the bird chirping. Risk is exhausted and still wondering what is happening right now at the Land of Lazaro. He looks at Mahad, they let the horses drink in the river. He seated under the three and lay his back on it, same with Mahad.
"My uncle made a deal with someone to save the people in our land, maybe Zell already explained about curses to you. And yes, it's true. A cursor wants our land, I also don't know why but I think this is not the perfect time to know about it." Mahad started to explain.
So he knows about the deal?
"I didn't know you knew about curses too.."
"Yeah, because it's in our family history. And Zell always shares the curse's knowledge he learned every time."
"Then what did you know about the cursor in your town? Why do we need to leave? Zell said we can defeat cursors if you know their weaknesses. Maybe we will have a chance to fight the cursors."
"I thought you don't care?" Mahad assumes.
"No, it's just because I promised to help him to protect your land and now we are escaping."
"Listen Risk, Yes Zell has knowledge about curses. Even if we discover the enemy's weaknesses it doesn't guarantee our victory, weaknesses can be someone's strengths too. This is hard for me too, but all I wanted for now is to protect our people because we can't afford war for now."
"So what will we do now?"
"We need to go to Dark Mountain in the east of this continent, there is something important there that we need to get. Before Zell's father died, he left us a word. He sealed his curse in his body after he discovered he was cursed and the one who sealed his curse is the healer on that mountain, because he sealed his curse it wasn't able to possess someone but after ten years the seal will break and it will find a host again to suck it's lifetime. We don't really know what he left there but father said this is the time to get them and I have a guess what it is."
"I see but I don't understand why he needs to seal the curse, why?"
"It's because there is a big possibility that the next someone will be Zell. If someone was possessed of curse, it can kill that person within days, weeks, months, and years depending on how strong the curse is. The only way to survive these curses is to break them or to conquer them but there is no way to break the curse now. So the only way is to conquer them and make it your own."
"So, Zell is cursed?"
"I don't know yet, but I know for sure it is coming."
"You know right? The three types of Curse? Zell's father has the Alpheus. The inherent curse, this type of curse is known by the family since it only possesses the blood of the first person who it possesses. The advantage of being possessed in Alpheus type is that, because it is in the line of the family for hundreds years. They already know how strong it is, how it works, and maybe how to conquer it."
So it means there is a possibility that what Zell's father left there is information about his curse and how to own it. Zell shares that Curses have level in possession, first level is being possessed, this means curses are the one controlling you. Aside from dying from a curse, it could be dangerous in the environment too. Because curses will use your body to curse someone and suck their lives.
Next level is conqueror, you conquer it and control it. If you can conquer it then you'll have its power, and also you can command the curse to stop sucking your lives.
Mahad gets some bread on his bag and then he splits it on to haft and he gives the other on Risk, while they're eating the bread they hear a loud groan in pain of Zell while in the ground. They look at him, and Zell opens his eyes. From brown color, his eyes change into gold one like a tiger.
Mahad immediately approaches Zell who's yelling in pain, Risk also approaches him and looks at Mahad.
"What is happening to him?" He asked.
"Argggggg!" Zell cried again, he stood up from laying on the ground. Mahad held him to help him but then he waved his arm so hard that even Risk was thrown strongly to the three. Risk and Mahad hit in the trees; they both groaned in pain and fell to the ground again.
"What is happening to him?" Risk asked again, and stood up from the ground. Just for a second they heard a blaring wail from Zell's mouth, it was like he was in deep agony.
Risk saw a circle around Zell in the ground, he couldn't understand the script written inside the circle with chains around it. To his surprise the written words and the circle shine so brightly to the point it hurts the human eyes, they close their eyes and then they hear Zell crying in agony again. They heard chain breaks, and cracking bones.
When they open their eyes, Zell is gone and what Infront of them is a massive beast. A mythical tiger.
"I think the seal broke…" Mahad whispered, and that means they'll need to fight this five times bigger beast in front of them. What the fuxk is happening?!
