THE REALM OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS
"The conjurers who came here to Delirium with us were probably long gone", Sara told us.
"The adventurers must have returned to the Ten-Kingdoms", Chash opined.
Suddenly, we found the signatures of several people in the realm. So, we flew there to check on them.
"Who are these people? Why are they still here after the realm was closed from exploration?" Chash asked us.
We alighted into a mountain where there was a small cave opening.
"What do we do now?" Melroy asked us.
"We explore", Ratatouille replied to us with a grin.
Finally, Ratatouille could have some treasure hunting time. So, we went inside the cave to look.
Suddenly, several familiar breezes of air blew across us.
"I know these people", I told my friends before shouting out, "Why are the Solomon Temple still here in Delirium?"
The breezes stopped and several people dressed in black skintight clothes appeared before us.
"Are you Ivan? How did you get here?" one of them asked me.
"Camliden, I should be the one to ask why you are still here in Delirium?" I asked him.
"We are no longer in Delirium", he replied to me to our surprise.
"Then where are we?" Cassandra asked the assassin from the Temple of Solomon.
"We came to look for the Rune of Light and Darkness following Mother Asereth's wishes and came to this place, the realm of Light", Camliden told us.
"Or one of the Realms of Light to be precise or the corridor going to the light", another assassin corrected him.
Delirium didn't send us back to the outer realms of Delirium but to another realm, the realm of Light or the corridor leading to it which was somehow connected to the Delirium realm.
"We need to get back to the Ten-Kingdoms", I told Camliden.
"We need to fulfill our mission first. We are so close", he replied to us.
"What is your mission?" I asked them.
"To find the Root of Shadow. It can only be found between the convergence of light and darkness", Camliden replied to me.
"Where is that?" I asked Camliden.
"It's somewhere here, the entrance but we couldn't find it", another assassin said to us.
"Let me help you", Handsome told us as he turned back into a rat.
The rat scoured the cave and its tunnels and caverns.
"I found it", Ratatouille said to us finally after searching for a very long time.
Ratatouille brought us to a hidden crack that was camouflaged and hidden by magic. This camouflage fooled the Temple of Solomon assassins, so they missed this spot entirely.
"There are no entrances here. We checked this place before", Camliden told us as he touched the rocks on the wall that Ratatouille found the secret entrance.
"That is because you couldn't break the magic barrier", Melroy told us as his wives sent their Sphere Arrayes before the rocks.
"Countermagic"
They cast a spell that countered the magic that hid the entrance behind the walls. There was a magic entrance behind the magic concealed walls.
"You really found the entrance", Camliden said to us excitedly.
We walked into the hidden entrance and passed through a narrow tunnel. Eventually, we reached another cavern that was filled with crystals that resonated enormous magic.
"We are rich. This is a magic mine", Ratatouille said to us.
"These crystals on the walls are much stronger and denser than our Magic Crystals", Melroy told us in awe.
We followed the trail left behind by the magic crystals which probably flowed out from a magic portal.
"The last time I found a place like this that flows out treasures was at the Aquor Gate that poured out magic pearls", Melroy said to us as be brought out some beautiful necklaces to show us.
The Aquor Gate was also found in a cave like this one, but the cave was in Pallantium.
"What is the Aqour Gate, husband?" Sasha asked Melroy.
"The cavern at the Aqour Gate became our family's main source of income by mining the magic pearls that flowed out from the gate. After the devastation brought about by the Illuminati alien invasion to our world, that was the main source of income for our world's reconstruction. But that is another long story for another time", Melroy explained to his wives.
Before long, we actually reached the magical gate to this mine.
"Finally, we reached your treasure gate", Ratatouille told Melroy with anticipation.
But there was more than one treasure gate here, there were two Gates here that stood opposite each other.
"This is the convergence of Light and Darkness", Camliden told us excitedly.
-----
Standing side by side, the two magical portals emanate an intriguing aura, one radiating a mesmerizing light, while the other exuding an enigmatic darkness.
These portals serve as gateways to realms of contrasting energy and essence, offering a striking juxtaposition between light and darkness.
The Portal of Light is a dazzling spectacle, its ethereal surface shimmering with luminescent hues. The portal emanates a gentle warmth, drawing in those who seek enlightenment and illumination.
Beside the Portal of Light stands its stark contrast, the Portal of Darkness.
Its presence is felt as a palpable chill in the air, and the surroundings appear shrouded in an impenetrable veil of obscurity.
Though standing side by side, the portals remain distinct and independent, each representing the power and allure of its respective realm.
The Light and Darkness from both magical gates flowed through each other forming a sort of Yin-Yang combination.
Somewhere between the two opposing forces was the fusion of Light and Darkness.
------
"How can the portal gates to two separate magic realms remain so close together?" Melroy asked.
"That is the reason this place is so rare and hard to find", Camliden replied to him.
"What are you looking for here actually?" I asked Camliden.
"The root of Shadow. It is born here between the two magic gates", Camliden replied to us.
"What is the Root of Shadow?" Cassandra asked but before anyone could answer her, we found it.
