"Pant! Pant!" A guy spoke while heavily breathing. "Hurry! We can't let it out of this dungeon, otherwise, humanity will perish! We can't kill it; it's too powerful. We'll use Death Sealing! May our sacrifice lighten the world.."
A woman spoke, "Shut up, bastard! I just can't die yet! I'm too young. I'll live for another 1,000 years!"
Another guy spoke while laughing, "Haha... look, an old hag saying she's young... it's been a while since someone joked this good!"
The woman replied with anger, "You! Hey, Arcanis, watch out... Behind you!"
The guy looked behind. A long tail followed him and pierced through his left shoulder. He suddenly used magic to recover and told the other six people, "Seems like this will be our grave, but as the saying goes — 'I won't die alone, I'll take you with me'... Haha!"
The woman spoke, "No way. Is there no other way? We can't die! What about the Council? Will there be no dangers after our death for humanity?"
Arcanis spoke, "We have to die; there's no way around it. And as for your question, yes, our death might temporarily shut down the Council, but maybe in the future, our throne might have heirs. As for dangers, there'll be many, but we can't be there forever. They have to fight in the end!"
Another woman tried to cheer up everyone, "Don't worry, guys, we have fulfilled our roles. Our families have heirs. It won't take long before someone seats on the throne."
"Hey, but you know it won't be swift. The path to the Council of Thrones is deadly!" said Dravonar.
Arcanis spoke with a heavy tone, "We don't have much time. Go into formation, we'll perform Death Sealing! Now!"
Everyone surrounded the entity, and Arcanis started chanting. Everyone spoke their last wishes, "May the future have light, unlike this era.
A bright golden light shot out from everyone's heart, and a few tears flowed. The bright light covered the whole dungeon...
"Ahhhhh!!!" The entity screamed.
Arcanis said, "Hold out a bit longer, the sealing is done, just a bit more strength! Even if one strand gets out, the world will be doomed..."
Everyone gathered their last bit of strength and strengthened the spell...
"Yes, we did it!" Arcanis spoke while spitting blood. He turned back to see his teammates, but everyone was lying on the ground, lifeless. Everyone had a lifeless body...
Tears started floating, but they all knew the results. Arcanis was in his last breath and made graves for his teammates but didn't build one for himself. He left a sign there saying, "We might die, but thrones never! When darkness arises, the Council of Thrones shall rise again."
Arcanis fell on the ground, without life in his body...
