"oh, the one that burned the whole orchard ━━ yeah, we're fine." vargas quipped and elysia snickered at his sarcasm.
        "just a couple of scratches. didn't hurt as much as the back flip." victor nudged nova as she grimaced.
        "still sorry for that." 
        they reached the structure after a few breaks of walking, with how far they made it ━━ and found addison and zed sitting on the roots. zed was pretty shaken up, his wristband failing after the blast that destroyed the orchard. willa and eliza were there too, but addison was the one by her boyfriend's side, attached to his arm. elysia frowned, feeling terrible that all they wanted to do was help, but they hurt them.
        "you guys didn't go with everyone else?" willa asked, seeing the four.
        "we're not exactly invited." vargas retorted with a sigh. he sat down on the ground against the cave walls. 
        "wait ━━ look at that," victor stepped closer to the roots, and elysia took her eyes off vargas to see what he saw. the machine beeped momentarily. "the black roots are from our orchard."
        "and the white roots are ours," nova realized. her eyes widened in anticipation. "why are they healthy if they both look terrible?"
        "no clue. maybe the cauldron has something to do with it?"
        elysia plopped beside vargas, exhausted from their walk as they all looked up. in front of the blossoming sunset were the wires, the shapes of their stones ━━ from both sides.
        "guys?" victor hesitantly expressed. "what does that look like to you?"
        "it's supposed to hold the lightstone," elysia says in awe. 
        "and the darkstone," vargas said. 
        "wait, ya'll have moonstones?" zed questioned and addison looked at him with a smile. 
         "that's how you get monsters!"
        "━━good point."
        "so that's what this room is for. to feed all the orchards from our moonstones' energy!" nova exclaimed.
        "we just need to bring the moonstones here!" elysia jumped up, pulling vargas by the arms as she swung them around happily. 
        "it's not gonna be easy." victor's voice was low, dimming the hope elysia felt sparkling in her chest. "that means stealing the most important thing from our villages and bringing them here. that's never happening."
        "we're gonna have to find another way." nova bit her cheek and sighed. "let's go."
        elysia looked down before vargas put his hand on the small of her back, leading her out the cave to follow. footsteps echo between the walls behind them, and addison and zed pop out, brows furrowed and determined.
        "wait!" zed panted. "never say never, cause it's not too late, strategize a plan and go innovate."
        "it feels like forever since we were your age. we're passing you the torch, so don't hesitate." addison sang, the group looking at each other. elysia wasn't sure if they could pull this off ━━ not after vargas and victor were banished and the bright sister's betrayed their own father. they would have to sneak in to get the stones! 
        "hi온라인카지노게임 is yours to make." zed wraps his arm over addisons's shoulder. she holds it with a soft smile.
        "it takes strength to break the chains."
