Mr. L and Mr. Z explained Kai and Simon about the Eclipse Arcana and what was at stake for hours. After listening to Mr. L and Mr. Z, Simon said. "So, there will be a war doesn't matter what my Master does.."
Mr. L said, "I'm afraid that's true. If Kai doesn't go after the Eclipse Arcana, the Dark Realm Magicians will get it and will break the seal and release their leader. If the seal broke, all of us will die.."
Mr. Z took over and said, "If Kai goes after the Eclipse Arcana and somehow gets it before the Dark Realm magicians and defeats the Eclipse Arcana's guardians. Then Kai has to reunite all six pieces as soon as he does that. The Realm leader's seal will break, and there will be a war.."
Mr. L took over and said, "Kai, war is inevitable. There's nothing you can do to stop it, and this time, the chances of Astra winning are half as low as last time."
Simon asked, "And why is that?"
Mr. L said, "Twenty-seven years ago when the first time we had a war against the last time. The Entire Astra stood united as a singular kingdom. Now, look at what has happened after Asta's death. Those false kings have divided his kingdom into six pieces like a cake."
Mr. L also said, "Last time, everyone was helping each other in that war. Now, everyone is full of themselves. They think they are stronger, richer, powerful than others. This will be the reason Astra will lose, not unless someone takes King Asta's place and reunites all six kingdoms once again."
Kai finally broke his silence, "That will never happen."
As Kai said, he stood up from his chair and said, "It's a race. A race to see who is going to start this war and end it.."
Kai looked at Mr. L and said, "I know the location of the first piece of Eclipse Arcana. which is located in Verdantia's jungle, but nothing about the others. But I'm sure you do.."
Mr. L said, "Yes, we do know the location of each piece. The first one is located in Verdantia. As you said, it also has its very own guardian who will stand in your way. As for the second piece, why should I tell you it is your journey to find them." Mr. L continued, "But the second piece guardian has a history with you."
Kai immediately realized upon hearing Mr. L's words. "Terramor..." Kai murmured.
"CORRECT!!!" Mr. Z took over and shouted.
Simon remembered something and said, "Master, what about the curse of Eclipse Arcana?"
"Don't worry about that. There's no magic in the entire Astra that could ever affect me," Kai said confidently.
Mr. Z interfered, "Kai, don't get overconfident. We can only hope that Eclipse Arcana doesn't work on you, but remember, just like Nocturnium works on you. There is a chance that Eclipse Arcana could curse you or even cause death upon touch. Eclipse Arcana's powers are far beyond our reach. We don't even know its full capabilities..."
Mr. L took over and flicked his fingers. As he flicked his fingers, six small wooden chests appeared on the table. "That's why we have prepared this for you. These chests are made of Nocturnium, which can contain Eclipse Arcana's powers. Just like that mask contains your anger, you must put each piece in a different chest. If you don't do that, then Eclipse Arcana's power will overwhelm these chests and break them."
"Now it's time to get you some new equipment. What type of armor will you like this time?" Mr. L asked
"Whatever that suits my cloak," Kai stated.
Mr. Z took over and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of that. What about Eiera and Rin?"
"Don't worry about them. I'll make sure they won't engage in a fight," Kai stated.
"It's time for me to leave. They are waiting for me at the entrance." As Kai said, he put on the new white mask Mr. L had given him.
As Kai put on the mask, the mask's color started to change. The mask started to change its color from white to gray and eventually made it to pure black color. The mask had absorbed all of Kai's anger and rage he had at that moment.
Mr. L took over and said, "Don't leave so soon. At least talk to us for a bit more. We need to talk to you about something."
Kai listened to Mr. L and sat on the chair. "What is it do you want to talk about?"
"Kai, you remember what we told you about your future?" Mr. L asked.
Kai responded with a nod and said, "I remember, but I don't believe it."
Mr. Z took over and said, "Your future still hasn't changed, Kai. You need to stop making new friends. Your friends are your worst enemies. You will..."
"Die by the hand of a loved one. Both of you have told me this plenty of times. I heard you the first time, but I don't believe you. I'll be the one who is going to decide my future." Kai stated.
"We hope that's true." Mr. Z murmured in a low tone.
"Kai, why don't you bring Rin and Luna here?" Mr. L took over and asked.
"I won't bring them here. This place is filled with Spellhounds. They won't attack me, but they will attack them." Kai said
"At least tell us about Rin. How is she after your last night encounter with the Assassins?"
**********************************
Outside the Entrance, Eiera, Rin, and Luna were panicking as the sun was about to rise in four minutes. While Aiden was still trapped by the Scorchers, and the Eternal Blade was still hovering over the Scorchers.
Eiera said out loud, "Why is he still not out!"
"I think the Spellhounds and the watcher might have killed him. After all, he is nothing without the Eternal Blade." Aiden said in a mocking tone.
Eiera, Rin, and Luna shouted at Aiden. "SHUT UP!!"
Rin asks Eiera, "Is there something we can do?"
Before Eiera could respond, Aiden said. "We could go in there and bring him out."
