Chapter 5 - The Intriguing Arrival

Amidst the rustling leaves of the dense jungle, a hushed murmur rippled through the air. The sound of a marching army, ten thousand strong, echoed through the trees. At their helm was a young man, his attire resplendent with luxury, marking him as a noble of great importance. Behind him trailed others, similarly adorned, their eyes alight with the thrill of adventure. Among them, a seasoned commander named Baku led the troops with an air of authority.

This noble young man, as it turned out, was none other than Baku, the Crown Prince of Bakan Kingdom, a realm that boasted a million-strong population. They had ventured into the depths of the jungle for a specific purpose: hunting exotic animals. As they advanced further into the unknown, whispers of caution rippled through the ranks of the commanders.

One of the commanders, his voice filled with awe, spoke to his companions, "Have you heard? This jungle is colossal! No one has ever dared venture deep. They say it's the forbidden realm, a place where no soul returns alive. Legends of its dangers have permeated every corner of Angus World."

Indeed, Angus World was vast and diverse, comprising numerous kingdoms, each with its own unique culture and history. As the Bakan army moved closer to the ominous Forbidden Realm, the tension grew thicker, as if the air itself crackled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, inside a tent in the heart of Karba village, Chief Kappa sat with the elders, his brow furrowed with worry. "It has been too long," he murmured, his voice heavy with concern. "Utto should have returned by now."

The elders exchanged uneasy glances, their minds clouded with fear. Just as their conversation grew more ominous, a young warrior burst into the tent, his eyes wide with alarm. "Chief Kappa, there's a massive army approaching our village! They're like none we've seen before!"

Silence settled over the tent, broken only by the distant sounds of the approaching army. The grand elder, the eldest among them, spoke with a quiver in his voice, "This… this feels ominous. No one has come here in ages. What could bring such a force to our humble abode?"

Fear gripped the hearts of the elders, a primal instinct warning them of imminent danger. The atmosphere was thick with uncertainty and foreboding. Deep inside the jungle, amidst the secrets of the Forbidden Realm, and within the heart of Karba village, a storm of unknown proportions was brewing, threatening to reshape the lives of everyone involved.
