Pasión en llamas: Amor y renacimiento en Madrid - Capítulo 38

38: Chatper 38 38: Chatper 38 Maya used the artifact to try and sense the nature of the liquid.

“This liquid is a powerful, magical barrier.

It’s designed to keep anyone from entering the fortress.” Lucas looked around.

“There has to be a way to get across.

Maybe we can find a way to neutralize the magic in the liquid.” As they were looking for a solution, they heard a loud, booming sound.

A large, mechanical creature emerged from the side of the fortress.

The creature was made of metal and had large, spinning blades for arms.

Seline quickly created a shield.

“Another challenge.

This thing looks tough.” Jack charged towards the mechanical creature, his sword raised.

The creature swung its blades at him, but Jack managed to dodge.

David leaped at the creature, biting and clawing at its metal body.

But his attacks seemed to have little effect.

Maya used the artifact to send a powerful blast of energy towards the creature.

The energy hit the creature, but it only seemed to make it angrier.

The creature let out a loud, mechanical roar and charged towards the group.

Lucas used his earth magic to create a large, earthen wall in front of the creature.

The creature crashed into the wall, but it quickly started to break through.

Maya, looking at the mechanical creature and the moat, had a sudden realization.

She focused the power of the artifact on the mechanical creature.

The artifact’s energy seemed to interact with the creature’s magic, causing it to malfunction.

The creature started to spin out of control, and its blades sliced through the air haphazardly.

It stumbled towards the moat and fell in.

As soon as it hit the purple – colored liquid, there was a large, magical explosion.

The explosion caused the liquid in the moat to dissipate, creating a bridge of sorts.

The group quickly ran across the bridge and reached the entrance of the fortress.

The entrance was a large, iron door, but it was locked.

Maya used the artifact to try and unlock the door.

After a few moments of concentration, the door creaked open.

They entered the fortress cautiously.

Inside, the air was thick with a sense of foreboding.

The walls were lined with strange, glowing symbols, and there was a constant, low – pitched hum.

They made their way through the corridors of the fortress, their weapons and magic at the ready.

As they walked, they came across a large, circular room.

In the center of the room, there was a large, black altar.

On the altar, there was a large, glowing stone.

Suddenly, a group of mages emerged from the shadows.

These mages were dressed in long, black robes, and their eyes were filled with a malevolent light.

The leader of the mages stepped forward.

“So, you’ve finally arrived.

You think you can stop us?

You’re too late.

The resurrection ritual is almost complete.” Jack stepped forward.

“We’re not going to let you resurrect that ancient, evil entity.

We’ll destroy that stone and stop you.” The mages laughed.

“You’re fools.

That stone is the key to the resurrection.

Without it, the entity cannot be brought back.

But you’ll never be able to touch it.” With that, the mages raised their hands, and a wave of dark magic shot towards the group.

Seline quickly created a shield, but the force of the magic was so strong that it pushed her back.

Maya started chanting a counter – spell, using the power of the artifact and the crystal.

Lucas used his earth magic to create a large boulder and sent it crashing towards the mages.

David charged at the mages, growling.

The battle in the circular room was intense.

The mages were powerful, and they used all sorts of dark magic spells.

They created illusions, sent bolts of dark energy, and summoned more minions to attack.

But the group was determined.

They fought back with all their might.

Jack’s sword flashed as he cut through the mages’ attacks.

Maya’s counter – spells weakened the dark magic, and Lucas’s earth magic disrupted the mages’ formations.

As the battle raged on, Maya noticed that the glowing stone on the altar was starting to pulse faster.

She realized that the resurrection ritual was accelerating.

She focused all her energy on the artifact and the crystal, sending a powerful beam of light towards the stone.

The light hit the stone, and for a moment, it seemed to dim.

The mages, seeing the stone being affected, panicked.

They redoubled their efforts to attack the group.

But the group was not going to be defeated.

Finally, with one last burst of energy, the group managed to defeat the mages.

The leader of the mages let out a final curse and fell to the ground.

Maya quickly ran up to the altar and grabbed the glowing stone.

As soon as she touched it, a wave of energy flowed through her.

But she could feel that the stone was still powerful, and she needed to find a way to neutralize it.

She focused the power of the artifact and the crystal on the stone, trying to break the magic that was tied to the resurrection ritual.

The stone started to glow even brighter, and then, with a loud, cracking sound, it shattered.

The group stood in the circular room, exhausted but victorious.

They had stopped the mages from resurrecting the ancient, evil entity.

But they knew that there were more threats out there.

They left the fortress and made their way back out of the desert.

They knew that they had a long journey ahead of them, but they were ready.

They were a team, and together, they would continue to protect the magical world from any and all threats.

As they traveled back towards the Council, they couldn’t help but think about all the adventures they had had and the challenges they had overcome.

They had faced powerful dark mages, strange creatures, and dangerous magical traps.

But they had always come out on top.

When they finally reached the city where the Council was located, they were greeted with cheers and celebration.

Elara, the head of the Council, stepped forward to welcome them.

“You have done it again,” she said.

“You have saved the magical world from a great danger.

Your bravery and determination are an inspiration to us all.” The group smiled, but they knew that their work was not over.

There would always be new threats, new challenges to face.

But they were ready.

They had the power of friendship, the knowledge they had gained, and the artifacts that had helped them on their quests.

And they would always be there to protect the magical world, no matter what.

Over the next few weeks, the group spent time recovering and sharing their experiences with the Council.

Maya continued to study the artifact and the crystal, looking for new ways to use their power for good.

Lucas helped train new earth mages, passing on his knowledge and skills.

Seline worked on improving the city’s defenses, and David continued to patrol the outskirts, keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble.

One day, as they were sitting in the Council’s garden, enjoying a rare moment of peace, Jack looked at his friends.

“You know, we’ve come a long way.

But I have a feeling that there are even bigger adventures waiting for us.” Maya nodded.

“Yeah, and we’ll face them together.

That’s what makes us a great team.” And with that, they laughed and talked, looking forward to whatever the future held for them in the magical world.

Their journey was far from over, and they were excited to see what new challenges and discoveries awaited them.

As the days went by, the group started to notice some strange things happening in the city.

There were rumors of strange lights in the sky and odd magical disturbances.

Maya, being the curious one, decided to investigate.

She spent hours in the library, looking through ancient texts and scrolls.

She also talked to the older mages in the city, asking if they had seen or heard anything unusual.

After a few days of research, she found a possible lead.

There was an old legend about a hidden, magical portal that was said to open every hundred years.

The portal was supposed to lead to a different realm, a realm filled with powerful magic and dangerous creatures.

Maya wondered if the strange occurrences in the city were related to the portal.

She called the group together and shared her findings.

“Guys, I think the strange things happening in the city might be because of this hidden portal.

We need to find out more about it and see if it’s a threat.” The group agreed, and they set off to find the location of the portal.

They followed the clues Maya had found in the ancient texts, which led them to an old, abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city.

The temple was in ruins, but they could still feel the powerful magic emanating from it.

As they entered the temple, they saw a large, circular platform in the center.

The platform was covered in strange, glowing symbols.

Maya walked up to the platform and studied the symbols.

“These symbols are similar to the ones on the artifact and the crystal.

I think this is the location of the portal.” Just then, they heard a loud, rumbling sound.

The ground started to shake, and the symbols on the platform started to glow even brighter.

A large, swirling vortex appeared in the center of the platform.

Seline quickly created a shield around the group.

“Be careful.

We don’t know what’s going to come out of that portal.” Suddenly, a group of strange, winged creatures emerged from the portal.

These creatures had long, sharp claws and glowing, red eyes.

They let out a series of screeches and charged towards the group.

Jack raised his sword and charged towards the creatures.

The creatures flew around him, trying to attack him from all sides.

David leaped at one of the creatures, biting and clawing at its wings.

Maya used the artifact to send a blast of light energy towards the creatures.

The energy hit the creatures, but they seemed to be immune to it.

Lucas used his earth magic to create a large boulder and sent it crashing towards the creatures.

The boulder hit some of the creatures, but more kept coming out of the portal.

The group fought hard, but they were starting to feel overwhelmed.

The creatures were fast and powerful, and there seemed to be no end to them.

Maya, looking at the portal, had an idea.

She focused the power of the artifact on the portal itself.

A beam of light shot out and hit the portal.

The portal started to shake, and the creatures coming out of it seemed to be affected.

The creatures started to slow down, and some of them even disappeared back into the portal.

Taking advantage of this, the group redoubled their efforts and managed to defeat the remaining creatures.

But they knew that they couldn’t just leave the portal like this.

They needed to find a way to close it before more dangerous creatures came through.

Maya, with the help of the artifact and the crystal, focused all her energy on the portal.

She chanted a powerful spell, and the portal started to shrink.

Slowly but Maya, with the help of the artifact and the crystal, focused all her energy on the portal.

She chanted a powerful spell, and the portal started to shrink.

Slowly but surely, the swirling vortex disappeared, leaving behind only the ancient, glowing platform.

The group let out a collective sigh of relief, their bodies aching from the recent battle.

Jack wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at Maya.

“You did it, Maya.

That was some amazing magic.” Maya smiled weakly.

“Thanks, but I couldn’t have done it without the artifact and the crystal, and all of you.

We’re a team, after all.” Lucas walked around the platform, examining the now – dormant symbols.

“I wonder what other secrets this temple holds.

There must be a reason why this portal was here in the first place.” Seline, still on edge, kept her shield up for a few more minutes.

“Well, whatever the reason, I’m just glad we managed to close it.

Those winged creatures were really tough.” David, in his wolf form, sniffed around the temple, making sure there were no more hidden threats.

He let out a soft whine and came back to the group, indicating that the area was clear.

As they were about to leave the temple, Maya noticed a small, hidden passageway behind one of the fallen columns.

“Guys, look at this.

There might be something down there.” Jack raised an eyebrow.

“Are you sure we should?

We’ve had a pretty rough time already.” Maya nodded.

“I have a feeling it’s important.

Let’s just be careful.” The group cautiously made their way down the passageway.

It was dark and narrow, and the air was thick with the smell of damp earth.

They used the light from the artifact to guide their way.

After a few minutes of walking, they came to a small, circular room.

In the center of the room, there was a large, stone pedestal.

And on the pedestal, there was a book.

The book was bound in leather, and it had strange, golden symbols on the cover.

Maya walked up to the pedestal and picked up the book.

As soon as she touched it, a wave of energy flowed through her.

The symbols on the cover started to glow brightly.

“Guys, I think this is a really powerful magical book.

I can feel the magic in it.” Lucas came closer.

“What do you think it says?

Can you read the symbols?” Maya studied the symbols for a few minutes.

“I think I can.

It’s an ancient language, but I’ve been studying it in the Council’s library.

It looks like this book contains powerful spells and knowledge about the magical world.” Seline looked around the room.

“Why would it be hidden down here?” Jack shrugged.

“Maybe it was to keep it safe from the wrong hands.

Or maybe it was waiting for someone like us to find it.” Maya opened the book carefully.

The pages were made of a strange, parchment – like material, and the writing on them was in a flowing, elegant script.

She started to read aloud.

As she read, the room seemed to come alive.

The air filled with a soft, golden light, and the walls started to show images of ancient battles, powerful mages, and strange, magical creatures.

“The book is showing us the history of the magical world,” Maya said, her eyes wide with wonder.

“There are stories here that I’ve never heard before.”
