News of the Cursed Tower
The doctor sat with Malik and Waleed in the cabin that had become their home over the past years. The fire in the hearth flickered softly, and the serious expression on the doctor's face hinted at something important.
"It's time for you to take the next step," the doctor said, holding an old book adorned with strange symbols.
"What are you talking about?" Malik asked, furrowing his brows.
"The Cursed Tower," the doctor replied in a deep voice. "An ancient structure holding immense secrets and unparalleled power. But reaching it will not be easy. Each step is a test, and each floor a different challenge."
Waleed glanced at Malik with a smirk. "Is it just a tower? Or will it try to eat us too?"
The doctor chuckled slightly and said, "Don't expect it to be ordinary. The tower is alive, a living entity that constantly changes. What lies within reflects the strength and will of those who enter."
As the doctor explained more about the tower, he took out a small stone from his pocket and handed it to Malik.
"This stone belonged to your mother," the doctor said. "She knew something about the tower, and perhaps she anticipated you would face it someday."
Malik clutched the stone tightly, feeling a strange warmth radiating from it. "This means my mother sacrificed everything knowing this is bigger than we ever imagined…"
"But why is the tower important?" Waleed asked, staring at the doctor.
"Because it holds the Stone of Light and Darkness," the doctor answered, his eyes gleaming mysteriously. "This power can either save this world or destroy it."
During their journey to the tower, they stopped at a small village to gather supplies. There, they met a mysterious figure named "Shizar," an elderly man with vast knowledge of the tower.
"I heard you plan to enter the tower," Shizar said, gazing at Malik and Waleed. "Do you truly understand what you're walking into?"
"We know it won't be easy, but we're prepared," Malik replied confidently.
Shizar laughed and said, "We'll see. You might need more than just courage."
The Perilous Path
As they approached the tower, they faced their first trial on the road. A group of creatures appeared, seemingly guarding the way.
"It won't be easy from the start," the doctor said as he gripped his staff.
The battle began, with Malik and Waleed showcasing their hard-earned skills. Waleed unleashed lightning-fast arrows, while Malik wielded his sword with techniques infused with magic.
"Don't hold back! This is just the beginning!" the doctor shouted as he unleashed a powerful wave of energy.
The Tower Appears
After defeating the creatures, they finally stood before the tower. The structure seemed to pierce the sky, with each floor pulsating with a different energy.
"This is the Cursed Tower…" Malik whispered as he stared at the storm swirling around it.
"Do you feel it? It's like it's watching us," Waleed said with a sarcastic smile, though he hid his unease.
"There's no turning back now," the doctor said firmly. "Remember: every step in the tower is a test. You must work together, or you'll never make it out."
The First Step
The doctor took a step toward the massive door leading into the tower. When he touched it, it opened slowly, revealing a dark corridor stretching into the unknown.
"Are you ready?" the doctor asked, turning to Malik and Waleed.
"Always," Malik said, while Waleed tightened his grip on his bow, his resolve unwavering.
They took their first steps into the tower, marking the beginning of a journey fraught with mystery and danger.
