"Ranjana put some sort of curse on Namaari so she's on his side."
This is bad. You see, we've been researching about this kind of magic. It is called
Thuốc độc tâm trí." (Translates to mind poison in Vietnamese.) "This is similar to the Druun, born from hatred and negative energy, and people can obtain it by absorbing it from a source used for good and protection, such as the dragon gem, and it gives the user the ability to read minds, control people into doing their bidding by using their past mistakes and trauma as manipulation, poison weapons, armor and other objects, boosts stealth and strength, and they can also crystallize one's blood by squeezing their arm."
"Raya, to get Namaari back, you need to tell her how much she means to you."
Mmm yes the plot thickens. Now you bambling, bumbling batch of baked beans, you sad lonely people, on with the ✨feature presentation✨
Raya was shocked. "A-are you sure I can't just kill him?"
"It's our best bet," Sisu said. "Okay, let's make a plan," Raya said. "I'll go to Ranjana's lair, free Namaari, and get rid of him. However, Ranjana is strong. We'll need more fighters than just us. You saw what he's capable of. He won't back down, no matter what. We have to be prepared for whatever he throws at us."
Sisu looked around the large cave. It was particularly lively today with dragons every, and new flowers blooming, with a small drizzle of rain complimenting the warm atmosphere. "I know who can help. Sang and my siblings could be really helpful, especially with all our powers combined. Also, the others who helped us get rid of the Druun."
Raya pressed her lips together. "I'm not sure. Noi and Boun are just kids, and Ranjana is probably about ten times more dangerous than the Druun. Tong is a good warrior, but I've seen Ranjana take out stronger people than him. He can crystallize blood, remember?"
Sisu sighed. "You're right."
"I can't risk the people I care about getting hurt, and that includes you and your family. I'm sorry Sisu, but I have to take him on myself. I have a way to free Namaari, I'll free her, send her back to Fang on Tuk-tuk, and take out Ranjana. Okay?"
"Okay Raya," Sisu looked at the ground sadly.
