THE TOMB OF KING AROTHAR
"That Oriese should not be so easily killed by the Phantoms. He is strong, He even defeated Bion and Spiros", another added.
"Have you not heard, Aesoness? That Bully didn't finish his classes in the academy. His teacher pushed through his graduation without teaching him everything that all of us know because he bullied all his classmates and obstructed his class", Lord Temeros said to Aesoness.
"What? He didn't learn anything from the academy?" Lord Lady Aesoness asked before she added, "But the academy's teachings are useless in my opinion".
"This bastard Oriese probably had never heard about the Phantoms of the Dark Realms and didn't know how to deal with them. Without a weapon of the magic of Order, the Phantoms are indestructible", Lord Temeros added.
"That bastard will be finished without such means to deal with the Phantoms", another added.
"Hahaha", they all laughed.

"I've discovered some Knights fighting with a group of Phantoms ahead of us", Ratatouille told me after he returned from scouting ahead of us.
"Finally, there are people in this realm", I replied to him.
"We should join up with them to explore this realm", Ratatouille told me and suggested.
"That might not be a good idea. Eugenia warned me that some of these knights came to this realm to harm me", I replied to him after pondering about it.
"Should we go another way then, if that is the case?" he asked me.
"No, we trail them. They seem to know what they are looking for in this realm. Perhaps they can lead us to the treasures that you are looking for", I replied to the greedy rat.
"Good, I'll turn into a rat and listen to their conversations", Ratatouille told me.
"That will not be necessary", I replied to him as I put my fingers to my earphones.
"Don't tell me that artifact in your ears can hear from a mile away?" Ratatouille asked me.
"Together with this additional device it could", I replied to him as I brought out a sound amplifying receiver device.

We observed the Lords of the Knight of the Order from a distance. From their conversations, I discovered they were unkind to me and one of the reasons they came here was to deal with me.
"These bloody knights mean to harm me", I reported to them.
"These Knights of the Order were not weak at all. We should just leave them alone, there are treasures elsewhere", Ratatouille suggested to me.
The Knights here were probably as strong as Spiros, or even stronger. They were not young knights either. They had the benefit of time and experience. They weren't easy to deal with.
"We've been here for a long time but there is nothing much to find. These guys must have come prepared and know what to look for in this realm", I said to them.
"Where are they going?" Ratatouille asked me greedily and rubbing his hands in anticipation of finding good loot.
"They are looking for the tomb of King Arothar, the founder of the Knight of Order", I replied to him.
"We should follow them to the tomb of King Arothar", my teacher said to me suddenly.
"Yes, yes, there must be much treasure there", Ratatouille added.
"Do you have something you want from there?" I asked my teacher.
"Yes, the body for my resurrection", he replied to me to my surprise.

The Knights of Order soon reached the ancient battleground within the realm of the Tomb of Order, where eons ago their predecessors clashed with the Phantoms of the Dark Realm.
Strewn across the field lay the poignant remnants of their valiant predecessors – shattered swords and battered armor, silent witnesses to the epic struggles waged against the encroaching darkness.
Once hailed as the preeminent templar force across the Ten-Kingdoms, the Order's knights surpassed even the renown of the Conjurer Court. In their unwavering commitment to safeguarding the realm, they ventured to this hallowed ground, where the Gate to the Realm of Darkness threatened to spill its menacing influence into their world.
With indomitable resolve, they succeeded in sealing the Gate, ensconcing it within the mystical confines of the Tomb of Order.
Even in death, these noble knights remained vigilant sentinels, steadfast in their eternal duty to repel the encroachments of darkness.
It was here that the current knights of the Order ventured in search of the fabled relics and treasures that lay dormant within the earth.
Beneath the vestiges of ancient conflict lay a hidden trove – the final resting place of the legendary King Arothar, the mightiest of knights.

"We are getting closer to the tomb. I can feel the divine body calling to me", Emperor Tian told me.
Without a need to prompt him, Ratatouille scoured the ancient graveyard of knights to loot. There were more possessions of the fallen knights here than anywhere else in the realm.
However, the danger here was greater than anywhere else in this realm. This was the center of the realm where the Gate to the Realm of Darkness rested above in the sky over this battlefield.
Suddenly, a claw that was much larger than the other Phantoms appeared from the sky. An enormous Phantom clawed out from the sky and dropped to the battlefield below.
The Realm of the Dark anticipated the arrival of the Lords of the Knight of Order and came to offer battle.
--------
"Why did a Lord Phantom appear from the sky? This has never happened before", Lord Temeros asked the other two lords.
"The Realm of Darkness reacts to our presence and threat thinking we came to invade their turf and they sent out their strongest champion to meet us", Lord Iketes replied and explained to him.
"We didn't kill that many Phantoms on the way here. We usually chase them away after a fight without taking their lives", Lord Temeros added and protested.
"Maybe someone else is killing the Phantoms in this realm", Lord Lady Aesoness suggested to them.
"It is that damned Oriese again. Didn't he read the manual before coming here, stronger Phantoms will appear if we kill many of the weaker ones", Lord Temeros added.
