After Ken and Son split up to search for the entrances, Ken entered the western entrance. The corridor was narrow and dark, but after a few minutes of walking, he reached a large hall filled with a mysterious blue light. In the center of the hall, he saw a giant statue of a white tiger.
Ken: This must be it. The statue of the legendary White Tiger.
As Ken approached the statue, the ground began to shake, and the stone eyes of the statue started to glow with a bright blue light. Suddenly, the spirit of the White Tiger appeared before Ken.
White Tiger Spirit: Welcome, my heir. You have proven your worth by reaching this place.
Ken: Who are you?
White Tiger Spirit: I am the spirit of the legendary White Tiger. My true power lies in protecting the world from darkness. Now, I will grant you a part of my power to become my heir.
At that moment, a blue light enveloped Ken, and he felt immense power flowing through his body. His hair turned to silver white, and his eyes to a bright blue.
Ken: I feel the power... it's amazing!
White Tiger Spirit: Remember, your power is not just for your protection but for the world's protection. You will need to unite with the other heirs to face the coming darkness.
Ken: I will. I'll find the others, and we'll be ready for any danger.
On the other side of the mountain, Son entered the northern entrance. The atmosphere inside was cold and dark, but he kept walking steadily. After a while, he reached an underground lake, and in the middle of it, there was a giant statue of a black tortoise.
Son: This is it. The statue of the legendary Black Tortoise.
As he approached the statue, a green light began to glow from the stone eyes of the statue. Suddenly, the spirit of the Black Tortoise appeared before Son.
Black Tortoise Spirit: Welcome, my heir. You have proven your worth by reaching this place.
Son: Who are you?
Black Tortoise Spirit: I am the spirit of the legendary Black Tortoise. My power lies in wisdom, patience, and defensive strength. Now, I will grant you a part of my power to become my heir.
A green light enveloped Son, and he felt immense power flowing through his body. His hair turned to a deep black, and his eyes to a bright green.
Son: I feel the power... it's amazing!
Black Tortoise Spirit: Remember, your power is not just for your protection but for the world's protection. You will need to unite with the other heirs to face the coming darkness.
Son: I will. I'll find the others, and we'll be ready for any danger.
Ken and Son then met at the foot of the mountain, each feeling the new power they had gained.
Ken: Son, did you feel that?
Son: Yes, we now have the power of the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise. We must find the others.
Ken: Let's start searching. We won't stop until we find all the heirs.
Meanwhile, in the southern world, Azumo and Shinzo were heading to the next kingdom in search of other heirs. The journey was long and tough, but they were determined to succeed.
Azumo: Shinzo, we must be close. This map indicates a nearby location.
Shinzo: Let's keep going. We have a big task ahead of us.
The journey of the heirs had already begun, and the darkness loomed on the horizon. But with their new powers and unity, they were ready to face any challenge.
In the southern world, Azumo and Shinzo advanced through dense forests in search of the next kingdom. The map guided them through narrow paths and beautiful landscapes, but a sense of danger surrounded them.
Azumo: Shinzo, we must be close. This map points to a nearby place.
Shinzo: Yes, I think I see lights there. It must be the Kingdom of Ariana.
They arrived at the outskirts of the kingdom, where the local soldiers greeted them cautiously.
Soldier: Who are you? And what are you looking for in our kingdom?
Azumo: We are adventurers searching for something specific. We need to meet your king.
The soldier looked at them with suspicion, but he agreed to guide them to the castle after they explained the map and the Crimson Bird.
At the castle, the king warmly welcomed them and listened to their story carefully.
King: So, you are looking for the heirs of the legendary powers. I have heard about you and your mission. There is something that might interest you.
The king led them to an old room filled with manuscripts and maps. In the center of the room, there was a large map pointing to a specific location in the southern mountains.
King: This map is ancient, but it points to a place believed to contain a legendary power. You might find what you're looking for there.
Azumo: Thank you, we will begin our journey immediately.
After being supplied with the necessary provisions, they set out for the southern mountains. The journey was arduous, but enthusiasm drove them to continue.
Meanwhile, in Akanahari Mountain, Ken and Son continued to explore the mountain. After each had gained their power, they felt a great responsibility.
Ken: Son, we must find the cave entrance that leads us to the other heirs.
Son: Yes, the vision indicated their presence in this mountain. Let's keep searching.
As they advanced, they noticed ancient carvings on the mountain walls. They indicated the presence of a secret passage leading to a large cave.
Ken: This is it. Let's proceed cautiously.
They entered the secret passage cautiously and found themselves in a vast cave filled with legendary symbols. In the center of the cave, they saw a massive gate carved into the rock.
Son: This gate must be the entrance to the other power.
Ken: Let's open it carefully. We don't know what's inside.
They slowly opened the gate, finding themselves in front of a bright light. They entered the large hall, where the spirits of the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise awaited them.
White Tiger Spirit: Welcome back, my heir.
Black Tortoise Spirit: Your journey is not over yet. You must unite with the other heirs to face the great threat.
Ken: We are ready. We will find them and protect our worlds.
At that moment, they felt a stream of power flowing through their bodies. They became stronger, more prepared to face the darkness.
The paths of the heirs met again, each feeling the new power and the great responsibility on their shoulders. They knew their mission was not over and that the great threat still loomed on the horizon.
Ken: We need to continue searching for the other heirs. We cannot face this threat alone.
Son: Yes, let's move quickly. Time is not on our side.
The journey of the heirs took a new turn, filled with challenges and adventures. But with their new powers and unity, they were ready to face any challenge that might come their way.
To be continued...
