DARK MYTH: BRIARWOOD- General Burial & The Doom Dimension
The air in Briarwood was thick with ash and static, the kind that always settled over the town after the Shadow Master’s forces made a move. Nick wiped a smudge of soot from his morpher, stepping into the circle where the rest of us stood listening to Haru.
"I should have put this together sooner," I muttered, rubbing my temples as the lingering headache from the nightmare pulsed behind my eyes. "When I was captive with Narissa, she already had both Runo and Will Vandom under her thrall. Last night, the dream came back, clear as day. She had us cornered, and she banished Will, Queen Elyon, and Prince Phobos—the royal siblings—straight to the Doom Dimension. Her game has shifted. She’s actively collecting Guardians now, taking down the entire royal bloodline of Metamoor in one stroke."
"And her next stop is Zibmala," Haru Glory said, his hand resting firmly on the hilt of his sword. His eyes burned with an unrelenting focus. "The purple planet... that magical jungle world. Back in the day, we barely saved them when Doryu the Pumpkin King tried to rot the core of their realm. If Narissa reaches it first, she’ll siphon every drop of wild magic left in the canopy, using the captured powers of Phobos, Elyon, and Will to unlock the core."
Nick joined the group, looking around at the battered lineup. "There was another attack on the edge of Briarwood last night," he reported, his red jacket singed around the cuffs. "A lot of freaky things have been happening around town ever since the Guardians of the Veil showed up. Phobos was leading a vanguard before Narissa turned on him and took all three siblings down."
"It's all connected to the same source," Haru insisted, stepping into the center of our gathering. "Have you ever heard of the Memory of the Stars? It’s the origin point. Every answer to every question in existence can be found there. Everything since the universe began is remembered in its light. Nothing is going to stop me from getting there—and there’s no way in hell I’m letting the Shadow Master reach it before us."
Nick nodded, adjusting his stance as the mystic fire flickered around his hand. "Then we don't wait around for another attack. We set the course for Zibmala, track Narissa's trail, and pull the three siblings back from the void before the stars themselves go dark."
