Elias and Lumina stood before the blade that held the key to victory—the blade. The island's serene surroundings seemed to hum with an otherworldly energy, and Elias's heart raced as he prepared to confront the guardian creature.
As Elias and Lumina shifted into battle stances, readying themselves for the impending clash, the guardian creature's voice cut through the tension. "I am not your enemy, child."
Elias's confusion was palpable as he lowered his guard. "Huh? Not our enemy?"
The creature's words held a weight of knowledge and familiarity. "I have been expecting you, Elias—the current Nexusbearer."
Elias's shock deepened, his brows furrowing. "How do you know my name? And why would you expect me?"
The creature's response was both shocking and revealing. "It is only natural for me to know, for I am the previous partner of the enigmatic Nexilith—your father."
Elias's mind reeled at the revelation. "Wait, what? You knew my father?"
The creature confirmed Elias's suspicions. "Yes, your father faced the Abyssal God with my aid. He was not alone, as history tells. And now, you stand before me, his son."
Elias voice held a mixture of disbelief and curiosity. "How is that possible? The battle between the enigmatic Nexilith and the Abyssal God was ages ago. If im truly his son, i should be over a century old."
The creature's explanation revealed the enigmatic connection. "your father used a spell of time manipulation to you elias to make you stop growing. intertwined with the power of Nexilith and Draconite. Elias is a hybrid of both bloodlines."
Elias struggled to process the information. "A hybrid of Nexilith and Draconite? But that's…"
The creature now introduced his name known as Draegon, spoke urgently, interrupting Elias's thoughts. "There's no time to dwell on this. Oceandream is under attack. Wield the Ethereal Nexusblade and aid your people."
Elias's determination surged as he extended his hand towards the blade, ready to grasp its hilt. "Can I know the name of this blade?"
Draegon obliged, revealing the blade's name. "It is the Ethereal Nexusblade—a weapon of great power."
With the blade in his hand, Elias felt a surge of energy coursing through him. "Let's go."
Lumina's concern was evident as she voiced their dire situation. "Wait, Elias, we're too far away from Oceandream. We can't make it in time."
Elias's mind raced, searching for a solution. "Hey, can you take us there?"
Lumina cast a spell upon Draegon, granting him the ability to traverse the distance with haste. Draegon's approval was swift, and Elias wasted no time.
As Elias, Lumina, and Draegon made their way through the depths, the waters around them seemed to blur, the ocean currents parting before their path. The urgency of the situation fueled their journey, each passing moment propelling them closer to their homeland.

The impending battle and the mysteries of Elias's lineage had ignited a fire within them, driving them to confront the threat that loomed over their realm.
Meanwhile, Elara, Leo, and Alex continued their journey to search for Elias. Their footsteps carried them across unfamiliar landscapes, a sense of unease gnawing at them as they pressed on. The three companions shared glances, their camaraderie evident even in the face of uncertainty.
Their travels led them to the edge of an expanse of water, where a remarkable sight greeted them. Nautalian royal soldiers stood in unison, their power shaping the waters into a circular path—a testament to their control over the ocean's currents. The trio watched in awe as the watery passage opened before them, a pathway paved by the Nautalians' unique abilities.
As they reached the other side, they were greeted by the presence of the king himself—a regal figure who exuded authority and wisdom. Elara's voice carried a mixture of urgency and frustration as she confronted the king. "Do you know what happened to Elias? Where is he?"
The king's voice held a sense of calm as he addressed their concerns. "You wouldn't to worry about Elias for he is safe.
Leo's analytical mind kicked into gear. "Where is he? What's going on?"

Elara's voice was a mix of understanding and relief. "I see. so he's on a mission to retrieve a powerful artifact. so he could fight the Sea Conqueror's."
The king nodded, his expression grave. "Yes, the situation has taken a dire turn. They now have the backing of an even more formidable force—the Umbral Cult."
Elara, Leo, and Alex exchanged shocked glances, their faces etched with disbelief. "The Umbral Cult?!" they exclaimed in unison.
The king's voice held a weight of concern. "Indeed. The Sea Conqueror's have formed with an alliance with the Umbral cult. Their intentions are unclear, but the threat they pose is undeniable."
Elara's resolve burned brighter as she clenched her fists. "We must find Elias and join the battle. We can't let them succeed."
The king's gaze locked onto Elara's, his approval evident. "Very well. While you wait for Elias, take this time to rest and prepare yourselves."
Elara nodded, her determination unwavering. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As they settled into a temporary respite, a royal Nautalian soldier hurriedly approached the king, his expression urgent. "Your Majesty, the Sea Conquerors have launched an assault."
The king's expression shifted to one of concern. "What? But since when did they gather the courage to be so bold to attack my country they should know that they should have no way of defeating."
The soldier's voice held a note of unease. "This time, it's different. They have brought allies of the Umbral Cult."
Elara, Leo, and Alex exchanged shocked glances once more. The gravity of the situation hung heavy in the air.
The King then ordered his royal soldier "We must act swiftly. Prepare yourselves for battle."
