The Land of the Knights
Scene 97: "On the Seashore"
_ The Land of the Knights is vast, and even the place where the puzzle rests belongs to it… However, what the **Guardian of the Puzzle** meant by "your land, the Land of the Knights" refers only to the area from which the sailor came.
On the seashore, two knights are sitting, playing chess, leaving their horses behind. They are the warriors **Deep Sage** and **Butamot**, fighters from the Unknown Fighters of the Land. However, they cannot use the Earth's power or activate the warrior's armor, as their powers are under the puzzle's control.
Butamot spoke:
"You always lose because you worry about the pawns as if they were real soldiers. You fear losing their lives."
_ After a few moments, they noticed that the tide had washed the sailor's hat from the previous scene onto the shore. Deep Sage approached and picked it up.
He said **sorrowfully**:
"He did not succeed, then."
_ Then they noticed something else that had appeared in their land—something unpleasant to behold.
Butamot, surprised and tense:
"Black smoke!"
Both Butamot and Deep Sage:
"Burning fire has engulfed the Land of the Knights!"
Immediately, they mounted their horses and galloped back to their homeland. Upon arrival, they found it burning. They extinguished the fires, and only ashes remained, along with a few surviving knights… It was a very painful scene.
_ Deep Sage gathered all the remaining knights and said:
"Knights… we must solve the puzzle and free our land. I will lead this battle, and everyone will participate. We will not return until victorious. Those unwilling to take risks may stay behind."
All the knights eagerly expressed their desire to face the puzzle's challenges. They prepared several large sailing ships, stocked them with provisions, weapons, and even horses, readying themselves for the challenges ahead.
_ Deep Sage placed the hat swept by the tide on his head and shouted loudly:
"Another battle under my banner…
It will continue until its call is Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory!"
Hearing these encouraging words, the knights shouted with all their strength, repeating:
"Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory!"
_ In the background of the scene, a clip chants these words with an inspiring melody, igniting courage and enthusiasm in the heart. Imagine hearing it:
"Another battle under my banner…
It will continue until its call is Viiiiiiictory!
Victory, Victory / Victory, Victory / Victory, Victory / Victory, Victory!"
Narrator:
With these words, Commander **Deep Sage** eliminated any chance of defeat… and ensured that his battle would not end until he declared glorious victory.
To be continued.
