The sky above the new world was dark and gloomy, shrouding the land and their hearts with an atmosphere of tension. After destroying the ancient power crystal, they realized that the power was not completely gone. There was still residual energy threatening to re-emerge, and they had to do something great to ensure it would never return.
"We've destroyed the source of that great power," Sai Fan said, gazing at the sky. "But I feel there's still dark energy left. We must control and seal it forever."
"Otherwise," Nai Seng added, "that power could return, and this world would be in great danger again."
They knew that the only way to make sure that power wouldn't come back was by performing an ancient ritual—one that required a great sacrifice.
**"We must seal this power,"** Elder Kiran said with wise voice. **"This is the last resort, and it will demand a huge sacrifice from us."**

## The Final Ritual
They gathered at a sacred place hidden deep within the forest—a large altar made of ancient stone carved with energy symbols. In the center, they placed a small dark crystal, still holding remnants of the ancient power.
"Now is the time," Sai Fan said, taking position in front, gripping his sword tightly. "We will seal this power and make sure it never threatens the world again."
Nai Seng prepared her magic, while Sei Fun held his magical tools and the small crystal needed for the ritual. Elder Kiran began reciting an ancient spell, connecting their powers with the forces of nature and the energy of the world.
"If I have to do this," Nai Seng whispered, "I hope all of you stay here and pray for the success."
"No," Sai Fan replied. "We all have to do this together. This is our fight."
They began channeling their energies into the small crystal, trying to control the remaining dark power. But the force was immense and fought back, releasing deafening waves of dark energy.
"This… is too much!" Nai Seng shouted, struggling desperately to keep the energy in check.
"Focus! Don't let that power overpower us," Sai Fan tried to calm himself and his friends.
Meanwhile, Elder Kiran continued reciting the ancient spell, linking their strength with the forces of nature. He knew this was the last hope—the great sacrifice necessary for saving the world.
**"If I have to sacrifice myself…,"** Nai Seng whispered, **"it's for the sake of this world. I am ready."**
Suddenly, the energy from the small crystal exploded in a blinding burst of light. A massive wave of energy enveloped the entire area, and the remaining dark force began to merge and slowly fade away.
"This… is a success," Nai Seng said, looking at the dimming light with tears flowing down her cheeks. "We've done our best."
But during the process, Nai Seng herself started to weaken, her body slowly vanishing within the burst of light energy. She had sacrificed herself to seal the power forever.
"Na…i…" Sai Fan shouted, tears threatening to fall.
Sei Fun and Elder Kiran were also moved to tears. They knew that Nai Seng's sacrifice was the final step to save their world.
"She… is a true hero," Elder Kiran said with trembling voice.
Her remaining strength merged with the energy of nature, creating a burst of light symbolizing courage and sacrifice. The world gradually became peaceful and calm once again.
**"Nai Seng's sacrifice will be remembered forever,"** Sai Fan whispered, looking at the sky. "She sacrificed herself for this world."

"Epilogue: The Legacy of Courage"""
After that event, the three of them returned to the village, carrying the message that courage and sacrifice are the greatest powers of all.
They realized that true strength doesn't only come from magic or physical power, but from the heart and the courage to do what is right—even if it means sacrificing everything.
"This is a valuable lesson," Sai Fan said. "We must continue to maintain this peace and strengthen our friendship. Because as long as we stay united, we can face anything."
Under the bright sky shining once more, they looked toward a hopeful future, knowing that their adventure had left a mark of bravery and immortality.
