Lord of the Truth

”NgghhhAAAH!”

As the oppressive blue veil lifted, gasps of relief echoed throughout the realm. Spirit creatures that had collapsed moments ago now stirred.

Some rose shakily, others sat with wide eyes, all breathing deep gulps of spiritual air.

The torment was over—at least for today.

”RAAAWR—!!”

Pythor the mammoth, the six-armed gorilla, and the remaining elite warriors halted mid-strike.

A sudden lightness overtook their bodies—the training gravity had lifted.

They knew instantly: The lesson was done.

”My turn!” Evergreen exclaimed with enthusiasm, clapping her hands together.

Above, the green sun pulsed with life. It unleashed a soothing wave of radiant energy that cascaded like rain across the domain. Wherever the light touched, wounds vanished, bruises healed, and shattered spirits were restored.

Strength returned.

Breath stabilized.

Eyes brightened.

The army of spirit beasts was whole once more. Ready to fight. Ready to serve.

But for the first time in a hundred years…

They would be allowed a full day of rest.

Robin reached his destination at last.

From the crystalline floor of the domain, a curious structure had sprouted—like a sacred bud blooming from the soul of the land.

It rose, split into two elegant halves that twisted upward like ancient vines, and rejoined at the top to form a gate-like structure.

In its center, a fluid void shimmered—then solidified into a mirror-like surface, gleaming with hidden knowledge.

Robin extended his hand and placed his palm gently against the surface.

His voice was calm… resolute… filled with quiet command.
