Matthew stood before the sealed passage, studying the glowing symbols on the cave walls. "This is strong," he muttered. "But nothing I can't break." He pulled out a strange device, a mix of dark energy and his own creation. As he activated it, the seal began to weaken.
Meanwhile, in the village, Luz sat near a fire, deep in thought. Munfa approached him. "You're thinking too much again," he said, crossing his arms.
"I know Den will find this place," Luz said. "We need to be ready."
Munfa smirked. "You're not wrong."
Before Luz could respond, a strong pulse of energy shook the village. Everyone turned toward the cave entrance.
Elena rushed to Luz. "That energy… it's coming from the entrance!"
Luz's eyes widened. "Matthew… He broke the seal."
In the dark army's camp, Matthew stood proudly as the cave entrance opened. He turned to Den. "It's done. They're inside."
Den grinned. "Then let's finish this."
The dark army marched toward the hidden village. Hook laughed. "They think they can hide. How pathetic."
Back in the village, Luz quickly gathered his people. "Den is coming. We have to defend this place."
The villagers looked afraid. Munfa clenched his fists. "We'll fight."
The night was quiet. Too quiet. Then suddenly—an explosion shook the village! The dark army had arrived.
Den stood at the entrance, looking down at Luz. "I told you, old friend," he said, his voice cold. "You can't run forever."
The battle had begun.
