Zeth headed home. The stone around his neck was shining. Well, it was already shining, but now it was shining even brighter. Zeth noticed this, but didn't pay much attention. "After all, it's just a weird piece of stone," he thought.
It was evening now. He thought of Sola. "She must have already gone home, I suppose," he thought. He went inside. Sola was sleeping. Zeth was also tired. He went to sleep and slept.
..
..
Wake up, Zeth. Wake up. You can't die again...
..
WAKE UP!
Zeth jumped out of bed. Someone had shouted "wake up" at him. "Another silly dream," he thought. Until he noticed the noises from outside. He looked at Sola, she was still sleeping. He went outside and saw the chaos. Everyone was running around. Zeth panicked. He was looking for someone he could ask what was happening. He saw Mark, who was shouting to people, "this way!" Mark was one of the three leaders. Zeth ran to Mark's side. "Leader Mark, what's happening?" Zeth asked. "We're in a hurry, go to the council building right away, Zeth!" Mark shouted.
Zeth didn't understand what was going on, but he knew that something serious was happening. He immediately went to wake up Sola.
"Sola, wake up! Wake the hell up!"
"What? What's happening?"
"I don't know, but something is definitely going on. We have to go to the council building right away."
Zeth carried the sleepily Sola in his arms and went to the council building. Inside, there was a great panic. Everyone was yelling, cursing, and some were shouting, "we're done for!" Sola was frightened and started to cry. Zeth tried to calm Sola down while his eyes searched for a leader or a founder. When the last person from N1 arrived at the council building, the doors closed and locked.
Kor and his brother Ron were hovering in the air. "BE SILENT!" Kor shouted. The leaders were hovering right behind Kor and Ron. Silence fell upon the council. Sol slowly began to calm down, while Zeth listened attentively to the founders.
Kor began to speak: "Residents of N1, first, please calm down."
Kor continued speaking,
"Our sentries observed a large group of demons approaching N1 using their magic. Unfortunately, our magical barrier cannot withstand such a large group. I and the leaders, a total of 9 people, will go to fight. We are calling for volunteers from among you to protect N1, our children, our women, and even our future. Those who volunteer, please gather in front of the council building within 5 minutes. The rest will not leave the council building." Ron said, "I am Ron, I will stay here to protect the last barrier and take care of you all. I will stay with you."
People were again overwhelmed by panic, but they knew there was no time. A few volunteers stepped forward and left through the main gate with the wizards, founders, and leaders.
Zeth's eyes searched for Malerva, and he found her. He went to her immediately and said, "Malerva, can you look after my sister for a few minutes? I need to ask Ron something." "Okay," a frightened Malerva said. She had every reason to be afraid. Her mother was among the fighters. This made her even more frightened.
Zeth jumped and swung from one rope to another inside the room and stopped at the closest distance to Ron. He knew that this was almost impossible without magic. But thanks to Zeth's incredible strength and light body, he could achieve it.
"Founder Ron!" Zeth called out.
"Zeth? What happened?" Ron asked.
"Allow me, I should go too. I can fight. I can protect our people-"
"No! Are you out of your mind? What will you do without any magic? Except becoming food for the demons and making them stronger?!" Ron said.
With great anger in his eyes,
"I can fight them. I am strong. I don't even need magic to kill them!" Zeth shouted.
Before Ron could respond, Zeth leaped out of the window at an incredible speed.
"Ah, that idiot musclehead!" Ron groaned.
"Don't die," he whispered to himself.
