"We're heading towards a world known as 'Elysia.' Have you heard of it?” Noelle asked.
Sapphira hummed, thinking for a moment. "Elysia…yes, I’m familiar. It's a beautiful world that serves as the home of the angels. A world known for its tranquility and harmony. But what is troubling the World Core there?”
"From what I've heard, someone is trying to exploit the natural resources of Elysia for their own selfish purposes," Noelle replied, her voice a bit sharper. "They're damaging the environment, upsetting the balance of the world.”
“And who might this perpetrator be?”
Noelle explained, her expression grave, "An entity, or rather, an Angel, known as the 'False Archangel', has taken control and is spreading darkness throughout the world.”
Sapphira's brows raised, taken aback by the news. "The False Archangel? That's troubling indeed. I've heard of the False Archangel before, a deviant from the rest, a being consumed by its own arrogance."
Noelle ran a hand through her hair, gathering her thoughts. "It's not just the World Core we will need to confront, but the False Archangel itself. It's no easy feat, but it's not impossible.”
The girls listened intently, their expressions turning a mix of determination and worry. Alice was the first to speak up. “How do we go about confronting the False Archangel? Any weakness or strategy that you know of?”
Noelle leaned back in her seat, pondering the question. "The False Archangel is not invincible, but it will be a great challenge. It thrives on chaos and fear, so your unity and courage are your greatest assets. When it comes to specific weaknesses, I recall that the False Archangel has a weak spot. Legend has it that its corrupted powers stem from a corrupted Crystal Light, a symbol of its twisted power. Destroying this crystal would greatly weaken it, making it vulnerable.”
"A corrupted Crystal Light," Noelle repeated, her fingers tapping against the arm of her chair in thought. "That sounds like our first target then."
"How do we locate this crystal?" Camilla chimed in.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"The False Archangel is not one to hide their treasures," Noelle responded. "It would most likely be guarded within the False Archangel's throne room, a place of pride and power. Getting there, however, will be the difficult part. The False Archangel's Palace will be heavily fortified, and its guardians relentless and powerful.”
"We'll just have to be relentless and powerful ourselves then," Alice said in a determined tone, her jaw set. The other girls nodded, each one silently pledging to do what it took. Alice added, "We won't give up. We've come far already to let this False Archangel stand in our way.”
Noelle smiled, a spark of respect in her eyes. "Good. You need that determination if you hope to stand a chance. "The False Archangel is cunning and dangerous. But if you are able to successfully reach its throne room and destroy the Crystal Light...the rest should be history.”
"Then that's our plan of action," Alice said, standing up from her seat. The other girls except Camilla and Sapphira followed suit, nodding in agreement.
"So we'll head to Elysia, confront the False Archangel, and destroy that crystal," Noelle added, her voice filled with resolve.
"Just remember," Sapphira warned as they got ready to leave, her voice taking on a more serious tone. "Never underestimate your enemy. The False Archangel may be twisted, but it's formidable. Work together, stay vigilant, and most importantly, never lose hope.”
The girls nodded, each of them taking her words to heart. They thanked Sapphira for her insight and gathered their possessions, preparing to say their goodbyes.
Sapphira watched them leave the hotel room, a pang of anxiety and worry in her heart. She hoped that they would be able to overcome the task at hand and bring light back to Elysia.
As the girls stepped out into the night, they were filled with a mixture of determination and apprehension. Elysia was waiting for them, and so was the False Archangel. They knew it wouldn't be easy, but they also knew they couldn't back down. The safety and harmony of Elysia depended on them.
“So what do we do now?” Rachel asked. “Go straight there?”
“Well,” Noelle began. “It is quite far from this world. We would have to return to Amaranthine Town, the crossroads of the universe, and prepare for the rest of the journey.”
“Ah, neat,” Alice said. “So we'll have time to explore the town a bit and go to those alien restaurants I was told about, or the communities of humans and other species from across the universe.”
“Oh right!” Camilla said, excitement in her eyes. “I’ve heard about that place too. The town sounds like a total melting pot of cultures. And the food…I’m definitely looking forward to some new tastes.”
“We’ll finally be able to relax a bit too,” Rachel added, the corners of her lips tugging upwards. “No more immediate dangers, no more rushing to save the world.”
“Well, we still need to save Elysia,” Noelle pointed out, her ever-present need to be focused on their mission.
“But,” she added, a smile on her face. “I guess we can take some time to rest and enjoy the trip. We’ve earned it.”
“Hell yeah,” Camilla added with a grin. “Wish I could come, but I still have that surfing competition to set up and all that jazz. Still, a few days of relaxation, exploration, and some good food, sounds like a well-deserved break for you guys.”
“Agreed,” Zalgo said, a smile growing on her face. “Let's make the most of this little break we have. We've been through a lot. We could all use some downtime, and I won't say no to some good alien food.”
They all laughed in agreement, a lighthearted feeling settling over them. Despite the looming danger ahead, they relished the thought of a respite, a moment to breathe and enjoy the journey.
“Then it’s settled,” Rachel stated, standing up from her chair. “To Amaranthine Town we go!”
With a sense of anticipation and relief, Noelle encased everyone bar Camilla and Sapphira in her aura and teleported away, the next stage of their journey before them. They set their course for Amaranthine Town, each one of them looking forward to a brief but very much needed break before facing the False Archangel.
