The Trap of Shadows
The Titans left the cities with heavy thoughts but no clear answers.
"There is something wrong," one Titan said, looking back at the silent world."But I cannot sense evil… only calm."
That mistake would cost them dearly.
Because while the Titans searched for answers, the Evils were already planning.
The Evil's Plan
Deep within the Dark Den, shadows moved like living things. The Devil stood at the center, the human body steady, the Devil's Heart glowing faintly within.
"They doubt," said the Evil of Deception."But they do not understand."
"That is enough," replied the Devil."Confusion is the door through which destruction enters."
The plan was simple—and cruel.
The Evils would not attack the Titans.They would use the planet itself.
A World Turned Against Its Protectors
Across the planet, the Shadowed Ones received a silent command.
When the Titans walked among them again, the people would gather.Not in fear.Not in anger.
In trust.
The Evil of Deception prepared false visions—memories of pain caused by the Titans during the ancient war.The Evil of Domination strengthened the mental chains.The Evil of Destruction waited beneath the surface of the land, feeding energy into the ground.
The planet was being turned into a cage.
The Titans Step Into the Trap
Unaware of the danger, the Titans returned once more, determined to understand what was wrong.
As they descended, the people gathered peacefully around them.
"You have returned," the people said together."We need your guidance."
The Titans lowered their guard.
That was the signal.
The ground beneath them glowed with dark symbols. The sky dimmed. Invisible barriers rose, powered by the minds of millions bound to the Devil's will.
The Titans tried to move—
And felt resistance.
"This is not possible," one Titan said."This world should not be able to hold us."
From the shadows, a calm voice echoed across the land:
"Every cage is strongest when built from trust."
The Devil had sprung the trap.
And the Titans, still not knowing the true cause, realized too late—they were no longer visitors.
They were prisoners.
