After King David's speech to the Knights, every knight split into four teams; Darcie and her team would go to their designated locations. Sharaletta boarded the second ship that led to their locations given to them, and other members boarded the other two boats that led to the outskirts of Treesape. While the aircraft launched, a black-coated woman was deep within the forest, which David and Yegor battled; she stared down at the castle within the city that had been struck. "What a terrible place to be at such a beautiful time of the year." The woman said mysteriously in her Russian accent. She then walked out from the mountain and prepared her assassination plan. Far away from Treesape Asalikith, many islands were out from the surface; Chris Deratea awoke from his deep sleep in the ocean. He swam upward and reached the surface of a small island; he then crawled out from the sea that kept him sealed from the world. "I... will not... lose to such... a weakling." Chris babbled to himself loudly. He observed the surrounding area, and he then felt reality set in when he noticed the blood dripping from his arms, face, legs, and torso. Then, in the distance appeared a black mist; it caught his eyes instantly; a voice that sounded very familiar to him spoke in a dark and terrifying tone, "You failed; you thought you had it all under control, huh? Yet, you lost to someone you claimed to be superior over."
Chris heard these words and then realized the voice that spoke to him was his boss; he felt fear filling him inside. The black mist approached him slowly, and then another figure, a woman, stepped out from the fog. "Chris Deratea, you have failed to execute my requested simple task. I knew you wouldn't pull through; I knew you would be deadweight. I will do what I should've done to Mandy and Yegor. You are useless to me now; thank you for your terrible performance, Chris." The boss explained to him. "Now you just hold on Mr. hide in the shadows, I was far superior over those two losers. I performed better than them; I was cut off because of that woman who was all over Taski. Haven't you heard of mistakes? If I recall correctly, EVERYONE MAKES THEM! Plus, what about you? You claim you're this powerful man, yet you don't even wish to show your face to me. Who's the failure here, huh? Yeah, that's right, hide yourself in the shadows. I'm still standing here; what could you do to me?" Chris argued with him aggressively. The black mist remained calm and quiet but then spoke, saying, "You have contributed to my plan, I must say; however, I must now put you down for good. You will only be a roach in the batch. Mikalah, terminate him for good. Don't let him have any breathing space either."
The woman who wore the black coat then summoned her hand sniper gun and directed her shot straight into Chris's head. Chris struggled to move and could hardly catch his breath, "Wait a minute, who are y...?" Chris asked but was then immediately cut off and shot in the head. He fell slowly with much blood loss, his eyes then turned red and rolled to the back of his head; he then falls back and is thrown into the sea. Chris slowly sinks downward to the sea floor with blood flowing out from his head. Chris then closed his eyelids one last time, and all he could think was the exact words he repeated in his head, "I..., F...ailed?" The black mist and Mikalah then walked away into a portal leading to the base of the Solar Pyramid; thus, the boss's daughter was now the new assassin for the Solar Pyramid. "Listen to me, my daughter, and you are now the new face of our organization. You are to handle the queen and king of Treesape, kill them, and leave them lifeless." In response to her father, she spoke in her Russian accent to him, "Yes, father. I will end the King and Queen over this Land, and they will not have breath in them when they're dead. I will not fail you, father."
Now, over to Darcie and her team, the royal children and their team flew out to Riches Beach, their first closest location. Taski laid in his bed and thought about Ariah for hours, "I wonder what she could be up to right now, I hope she hasn't forgotten about me. What if she changed her mind? I hope it's nothing bad." He then looked outside his window and viewed the outside lands and mountains, the many beautiful clouds, and the oceans that were visible to his eyes. He could only think about the future with Ariah, all the places they could visit, the many moments they could make with each other and the family they could start together. Soon afterward, Darcie knocked on the door and entered his room; she sat on his bed and asked, "Hey bro, you doing good? You look down, is something bothering you?" He couldn't bring himself to admit the truth to her and brushed it off with a lie, "Yeah, I'm doing good, sis, just observing the view up here before we land at the beach."
Darcie didn't ask any further about him and took it as is; she then asked about his thoughts on the attack and what he could think about it. "Honestly, I was somewhat scared to admit it; Mandy was really close to me and almost sliced my neck; I thought I started bleeding. Thankfully, Mikado stepped in and saved my butt." They both discussed how they would approach an underwater sanctuary and the first Heartlin stone, "Something tells me there will be a secret kind of code we'll need, or maybe someone there will help us." Darcie explained to him. Afterward, she left his room and approached the control room of the aircraft. There, she sat in a comfortable seat that put her to sleep and relaxed until they reached their destination. After 4 hours, they arrived at Riches Beach; they landed near the most considerable open section of the sand line. They then began searching for the key that would lead them into the underwater sanctuary; however, they were left with the giant puzzle they had discovered.
"Well, everyone, we've made it here, but now we are left figuring out how to get into the sanctuary. Does anybody have a solution, options, ideas, something?" Darcie announced and asked her team. Taski suggested scattering out to find anything related to a sanctuary opening key, while Drake suggested searching for anyone around for clues. Mikado imagined flying around to search for anything suspicious, and Killian didn't even bother answering. "I think we should all split up and search for clues; that way, we could all participate and contribute," Taski recommended to them. Thus, the decision was made that everyone should separate and investigate the beach shore and the forest behind them. The sun rays were scorching them, and the humidity made matters worse; Taski then removed his top to prevent overheating. Mikado couldn't help but stare deeply at him. The six then scattered and began their hunt for answers.
Further out from the Asalikian land, Sharaletta and her team used their full throttle to speed into the Philippians. Her team and she weren't too far from Darcie's location, and they only had 2 hours after passing Darcie at Riches Beach. Aboard their ship, Sesakayla and Tesakai had conversations with each other and taught each other many lessons about their abilities and advantages. "I think you'd be great at dimming the scene in an intense battle; you'd make the scene epic-looking while fighting a big battle. However, I'm curious how you'd manage your lighting around us. Would you hurt us in the process? Have you put any thought into that?" She asked him. He replied, "My lightning is effective; however, it will not hurt you since you are my comrade. It only strikes those who are threats to life." It couldn't full wrap around her mind when he mentioned this to her, only his words would be enough to fill that hole. Down the hallway where each room was, Akaio found herself asleep for a little while. Akaio then fell into a deep sleep, leading to a dream.
All she could see was a city with many tall skyscrapers lying waste in ruins; the sky was red like hell was unleashed upon the earth. She looked around her and saw many unorganized creatures flying around; many seemed like a different species of creatures never known. Then suddenly, over near a cliff, was a man who looked much like Taski. "Taski?" She said over toward him. His body was beaten up and bruised as a war had unleashed. She walked over to him slowly, but as she got closer, her body became numb. "What... have I... done?" He spoke quietly. Akaio became frightened and panicked. She cried loudly, "WHAT'S GOING ON, TASKI?!" Then suddenly, she awoke to reality with a scream; this alarmed the others aboard the aircraft. "It was just a dream?" She asked herself.
Sesakayla then panicked through the door and asked, "What happened? Are you okay?" Sesakayla then comforted her in her distress and anxiety, "I had a dream, that the earth looked like a hell vision, these demon - like creatures were flying around and it terrified me. That's not the only thing. I saw Taski standing near a cliff and talking to himself." The two then stayed with each other until they arrived in the Philippines. "Akaio, listen to me. Whatever you had seen in your dream was only just a dream. I'm here, sister; I'm here to be by your side all through." Sesakayla comforted her sweetly. Akaio's water ki was disturbed and moved through her unnaturally, "My ability force is disturbed; I can't seem to still it like normal. Sesakayla, my dream felt more like reality, not some dream. Taski seemed scared and beat up badly as if he had just got out of a serious fight with someone." Akaio spoke in response with fear.
Soon afterward, Sharaletta and her team arrived in Cebu City of the Philippians. It was around the 10th hour after they landed and prepared themselves; Sharaletta brought out her radar to track down the energy of the Heartlin stone. "Aight, everybody, we need to head toward that tall lookout up there on that huge hill. That's where the stone should be located; remember now, We are representing Asalikith and King Diarmuid. Let's try not to play too rough now." She announced to her team. Thus, Sharaletta and her team made their way toward the lookout upon the hill within the deep and vast trenches of the woods.
