Dungeons.

According to the book's lore, Dungeons were sentient beings that came into existence with something. It doesn't come into existence without any material to work on. Whether that material is someone's fear or strong emotions, folklore, myths and stories, popular cultures. But finding these dungeons is not an easy job. Dungeons are Rarity in the book timeline and finding one was equivalent to finding titanic survivors in the Bermuda triangle or hitting a million dollar lottery. But conquering a dungeon gives you an equivalent prize but that information isn't known in the timeline of the book and neither does Aaria know about it.

This question came into our minds. How to conquer a dungeon? The answer is simple: Defeat the Dungeon master.

“Aaria…! Are you really thinking about battling against me?” Jisusee asked about Aaria intentions, her true intentions. “You helped me no us in recovering that Cube without even asking a question and now you will pour water on your hard work. Why?”.

Aaria kept her silent for a while. This allowed enough time for other squirrels to surround her. She is completely surrounded by all sides.

“You wanted to know what happened to the Alpha Sitri sent to help you right!” He paused for a second before answering. “He was killed. He died to protect you and save you so you can successfully deliver that cube to us. Many people's lives were endangered in the town of IB-anna because you tried to help us and now you want to go against it.” Jisusee kept asking Aaria with these questions. After a while Aaria started to speak.

“You know, when I got in this dungeon and you guys helped me and in a way made me feel like I'm a free person. I was really glad and I really wanted to repay those fairs.” Her voice started to crack. She was sobbing and tears were coming out of her eyes, but she continued speaking, “When I was escaping from the town, I was asking myself why I was helping you guys? Why did I accept that request when I knew I had no capabilities of completing it?” She wiped her tears and regained her breathing and looked upwards towards Jisusee. “I did it hoping that you guys would take me in and I would be free from the outside world. I didn't want to get beaten like before. I wanted to be treated like a normal person again just how I was treated in Duke Helstein’s mansion.”

“Then, just stay. You don't have to worry about anything as long as you live here. You won't be beaten like how you were in the outside world.” Jisusee added, trying to divert Aaria's mind. Jisusee knew that Aaria's a powerful figure that even Sitri couldn't tell him about her blessings but he is still conscious as he hadn't seen her using one.

“ Yeah I know. That's why Jisusee can't let Anna go. You don't have to make her into your …..”

“ I can't. Aaria. I will die if the process is stopped in the middle of it.” Jisusee added.”That thing is connected Right with my heart. Once stopped in the middle of the process once more. I will die for sure this time.”

Aaria went silent for a while. She didn't utter a single word after Jisusee told her the truth about it.

“I'm sorry Jisusee. I know this is selfish of me but I can't let Anna die. I have yet to say my sorry to her. “ Aaria answered with a dry smile while a tear fell from her right eye down.

“I see.” As soon as Jisusee said it, the flying squirrels around Aaria jumped at her to attack her. They slashed at her, bit her and tore her clothes apart. They swarmed her in an instant but Jisusee noticed something. He recalled all the squirrels to only found Aaria covering for both Ace and the baby squirrel with her body with no scratches or injuries on her.

“What? How could this be? You definitely were hurt last night?” Jisusee is confused as well as Aaria's is. She also couldn't understand what's happening. Then suddenly Jisusee moved his body to look towards the Ocean. The moving of the giant tree caused a minor earthquake in the dungeon.

“What is that?” Jisusee yelled when suddenly a huge neck came out of the Ocean. It was huge enough to rival the giant tree height. It has a shell on its back and a mark of his back right fin. As soon as his face got out, he sprayed boiling water from on his mouth at Jisusee causing him some damage.

“Where did that thing come from?” Jisusee yelled. Aaria, who also doesn't know what's going on outside, tries to run towards the flower when A Giant Squirrel blocked her way. It was the same squirrel who came to rescue her last night.

“Oh you are fine. That's Great to know but would you kindly let me go, big guy.” Aaria is trying to communicate with the giant squirrel Hoping it would let her go but suddenly it jumps up in the sky, spreads his wings and glides towards Aaria to attack but then something blocks his path. It was a tree branch that sprouted from the ground. It was Sitri. She has regained her consci

ous and is trying to help Aaria
