Chapter 63 - Ancient Warning

Aiden made his way through the bustling corridors of the guild hall, his mind filled with the weight of the conversation he was about to have with the guild master. As he approached the office, he took a deep breath, steadying himself before he knocked on the door.

"Come in," a deep voice called from within.

Aiden turned the doorknob and stepped into the room. The guild master, a tall and imposing figure with dark Elven features, sat behind a grand desk adorned with maps and documents. His expression was calm and composed, yet carried an air of wisdom that demanded respect.

Guild Master: "Aiden, please have a seat. I've been expecting your report."

Aiden took a seat across from the guild master, his eyes focused on the Pergament containing the ancient elf language. He placed it carefully on the desk and began to recount their findings in the ruins of Olymp, emphasizing the mysterious message they had discovered.

Aiden: "We followed the traces, explored the ruins, and stumbled upon this Pergament with the ancient elf language. Lyra recognized it but couldn't decipher the message. We suspect it may be a warning of some sort."

Guild Master: "Hmm, I see. This is indeed troubling. The ancient language holds great power and knowledge, and its appearance in such circumstances is not to be taken lightly."

Aiden's heart raced as he waited for the guild master's response. He knew the fate of their world rested in the hands of their leaders, and he hoped they would be prepared for whatever was to come.

Guild Master: "Aiden, what you've discovered is worrisome. It suggests that we may face a formidable threat in the near future, though the identity of these intruders remains unknown. We must prepare ourselves for their arrival."

Aiden nodded, his eyes locked with the guild master's, understanding the gravity of the situation.

Aiden: "What do you suggest we do, Guild Master?"

Guild Master: "We will gather all the hunters for an emergency meeting. I will share this information and outline our preparations. We must fortify our defenses, train our hunters, and ensure that we are united in our efforts to protect our world."

Aiden's determination grew stronger as he listened to the guild master's plans. He knew that the path ahead would be challenging, but with the guidance of their leaders, they would face it head-on.

Guild Master: "The preparations for the camp will need to be expedited. We shall begin in two days' time. It is essential that we rally our forces and stand united against this impending threat. We cannot afford to underestimate the danger that looms over us."

Aiden rose from his seat, a sense of purpose coursing through his veins. He thanked the guild master for his wisdom and guidance, eager to share the news with his companions.

Aiden: "Thank you, Guild Master. We will be ready for whatever comes our way. I will inform the others about the emergency meeting and the preparations for the camp."

With a firm nod, Aiden bid farewell to the guild master and made his way back through the corridors, his steps filled with a renewed sense of urgency. He returned to the training hall, where his companions awaited, unaware of the grave news he had just delivered.

As he walked toward them, he couldn't help but feel the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. The fate of their world hung in the balance, and it was up to them, as hunters, to rise to the challenge and protect what they held dear.

Aiden walked briskly through the familiar corridors of the guild hall, his thoughts consumed by the gravity of the impending threat. As he neared the training hall, he could hear the clang of weapons and the sounds of intense combat echoing from within. Pushing open the heavy wooden doors, he stepped into the training hall, his eyes scanning the area for his comrades.

Theron and Lyra sparred with each other, their movements fluid and synchronized, while Gragas observed their technique, offering occasional advice. Kloyo, ever focused, honed her archery skills with precision and accuracy. Aiden couldn't help but feel a surge of pride at the sight of his friends, their determination shining through in their training.

With a determined stride, Aiden approached his companions, their attention shifting to him as he drew near. They sensed the seriousness in his expression, their playful banter ceasing as they awaited his report.

Aiden: "Everyone, we have urgent news. I just spoke with the guild master, and we've discovered something troubling. The ancient elf language and the message we found in the ruins of Olymp... it's a warning. Intruders are coming, and we need to be prepared."

Lyra lowered her bow, her brows furrowing in concern, while Theron and Gragas exchanged glances, their expressions shifting from curiosity to a mixture of determination and worry. Kloyo, her eyes gleaming with resolve, stepped forward.

Kloyo: "What do we need to do, Aiden? Tell us everything."

Aiden took a deep breath, relaying the guild master's instructions and the plans for the emergency meeting and preparations for the camp. His voice resonated with determination and a sense of urgency.

Aiden: "We must be ready. The guild master is gathering all the hunters for an emergency meeting. We need to fortify our defenses, train relentlessly, and unite as a team. Our world is at stake, and we cannot afford to underestimate the threat that lies ahead."

Theron, his grip tightening on his sword, spoke up with determination.

Theron: "We've faced challenges before, and we've overcome them together. This will be no different. We'll be ready, Aiden. Count on it."

Lyra nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with determination.

Lyra: "We'll do whatever it takes to protect our world. We've trained for this. We're a team, and together, we can face any enemy that comes our way."

Gragas, his voice resonating with determination, added his support.

Gragas: "We've proven ourselves time and again. Let's continue our training, push our limits, and be prepared for whatever comes. We'll face this threat head-on."

Aiden smiled, a mixture of gratitude and determination lighting up his features.

Aiden: "Thank you, my friends. We've faced trials together, and I know we can overcome this one as well. Let's continue training, hone our skills, and be ready to stand united against the intruders. Our world is counting on us."

With renewed determination and a shared understanding of the task ahead, the group returned to their training, their focus intensifying as they prepared themselves for the challenges that awaited them. Their camaraderie and unwavering spirit served as a reminder that together, they were stronger than any adversary they might face.

In the training hall, the clash of weapons resumed, echoing with a resounding determination, as Aiden and his companions pushed themselves to new heights, united in their resolve to protect their world from the impending threat.
