Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 47: Shadows and Whispers
The black mist coiled and undulated, gradually enveloping the ruins like a serpent constricting its prey. The once silent night was now filled with murmurs and whispers, voices from a time long forgotten. The ruins, bathed in the chilling glow of the mist, took on an eerie life of their own.Liora, her heart pounding loudly in her ears, clutched the stone tablet tighter. "Orion, we need to find out what this means. This isn't just some guardian's trick. This is a warning, a countdown to something terrible."Orion nodded, his gaze fixated on the ever-growing mist. "These ruins are ancient, but they're not just a pile of stones. They were built for a purpose, and I fear that the prophecy isn't just pointing to an event but to a location. We might be standing right on top of it."A gust of wind blew, carrying with it soft, haunting whispers. Words formed, echoing around them, "Seek the heart, mend the part..."Liora strained her ears, trying to catch more of the elusive voices. "Did you

The mysterious figure took a step closer, the soft rustling of their cloak the only sound in the tense atmosphere. Every tree, every leaf, seemed to hold its breath, waiting for what would come next.Orion instinctively positioned himself in front of Liora, shielding her. His hand subtly moved to the hilt of his sword. "Who are you?" he demanded, trying to sound more confident than he felt.The figure chuckled, the sound low and mocking. "Names have power, young guardian. But you can call me Malachi."Liora's eyes widened with recognition, memories flooding back. "Malachi? The shadow weaver from the legends?"Malachi laughed again, louder this time, and it felt as though the forest itself shivered in response. "Legends? Oh, how little you know. I am as real as the threats you face.""What do you want with the Tapestry?" Liora inquired, her voice firm, but a hint of curiosity breaking through."Ah, the Tapestry," Malachi mused, circling them slowly like a predator sizing up its prey. "

The portal's vastness dwarfed the trio, its swirling colors shimmering and beckoning them to step inside. Each of them could feel the weight of the prophecy, the words etching themselves deep into their minds.Caelum was the first to speak, trying to lighten the mood. "Well, that wasn't ominous at all, was it?"Liora frowned, her fingers tracing the now still pages of the Celestial Codex. "This isn't a jest, Caelum. We have to understand the meaning behind this prophecy if we're to navigate the trials ahead."Aria took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the portal. "The question is, who among us will falter? Who will betray? And who... who will choose to fade away?""Does it matter?" Caelum replied, a hint of bitterness in his voice. "If we start doubting each other now, we've already lost."Liora placed a hand on his arm. "But we need to be prepared. If there's even a chance the prophecy is about us, we need to be vigilant."Aria nodded, her blue eyes sparkling with determination. "Lio

The mist was thick, almost suffocating. Aria tried to call out to Caelum and Liora, but her voice was swallowed by the overwhelming silence. She could hear her heart racing, each beat echoing loudly in her ears.Suddenly, her reflection emerged from the fog, moving gracefully towards her. "So we finally meet, face to face," it sneered. "Are you ready to confront your deepest fears?"Aria summoned her courage. "I won't be defeated by you or this illusion."Her reflection laughed, a haunting, echoing sound. "This is no illusion. This is a reflection of your inner turmoil, your guilt, and your fears."As they spoke, flames began to rise around them, threatening to engulf Aria. "Remember the village?" her reflection whispered. "The one you accidentally set ablaze with your unchecked powers? Those screams still haunt you."Aria gritted her teeth, memories flooding back. "It was an accident. I've grown since then.""But have you forgiven yourself?" the reflection taunted.Across the vast ex
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 1: Echoes of the Unseen
In the heart of a room, brimming with the underworld's most infamous werewolf kingpins, I find myself questioning the twisted turn my life has taken. My father, the formidable Alpha Don Julio, has thrust me into this auction, offering me to the one with the deepest pockets."500... 1000... 100,000..." The bids are rising quickly around me, as I stand exposed on the pedestal." Their disgusting eyes scan my body, evaluating my worth, calculating how much it will cost to have me in their possession. Just when the tension feels unbearable, a chilling voice cuts through the murmurs: Alpha Johnathon Dupree, the feared leader of the White Wolf Pack, declares, "One million dollars.""One million going once, one million going twice, one million for the third and final call... Sold!" The auctioneer's gavel struck, "To the man in the blue-gray suit up front."Hearing the finality in those words, a wave of dread washed over me. The tales of his notorious cruelty towards women echoed in my mind, ma

The haunting resonance of the lullaby still lingered, casting a spell over everyone. The room was thick with tension, each face painted with a mix of confusion and dread.Dupree was the first to break the silence. "Who was that woman?" His voice was low, more to himself than anyone else.Don Julio responded, his voice strained. "I have my suspicions, but nothing concrete. That emblem... It's a relic of our ancestors. Few remain."I touched the spot on my chest where my own pendant lay hidden beneath my dress, its presence now carrying a weight I hadn't noticed before. "That lullaby... my mother sang it to me."Dupree's gaze snapped to mine. "You never mentioned this before.""I didn't think it was significant," I admitted, feeling a rush of vulnerability. "It was just a lullaby. Why would it matter?""It's more than just a lullaby," Don Julio interjected. "It's an ancient song passed down through the seer lineage. It's believed to be a protective chant, warding off dark forces."A mur

The once-silent mansion erupted into chaos. The sounds of clashing steel and fervent incantations filled the air, punctuated by the desperate shouts of allies and the dark taunts of invaders.Dupree, drawing his blade, bellowed, "Protect the seers!" He then looked at me and Eryx, "Both of you, stay close!"But Eryx, ever the defiant one, quickly retorted, "We're not defenseless. We can fight!"Lysandra, appearing suddenly at our side, whispered urgently, "There's a secret passage to the east wing. It will lead you to safety. Go!""No," I declared firmly. "We won't leave our people behind."Eryx, gripping the hilt of a dagger that seemed to materialize from thin air, nodded in agreement. "Together, we stand a chance."Don Julio, amidst the fray, called out, "They're after the seers! We need to hold them off!"With a shared nod of understanding, Eryx and I began chanting in unison, our voices weaving an ancient spell. A barrier of shimmering light began to form around us, expanding outw

The luminous glow of the tome provided the only source of light on our precarious ledge. The spirits' haunting chorus continued their words a blend of warnings and lamentations.Dupree's face was etched with frustration. "This is no natural trap. It's a test, a challenge set by the guardians of the seer lineage."Eryx, holding the tome tightly, added, "They want to ensure only the worthy access its power."Lysandra peered into the chasm, her face pale but determined. "These spirits, they're not just guardians. They're memories, remnants of seers who faced this very trial and failed."The chilling implication hung heavy in the air — the fate of countless seers, trapped in eternal limbo, their power and potential never realized.Suddenly, my mother's apparition emerged from the mist once more, her voice clear amidst the cacophony. "To find the path forward, one must first look back. Embrace your heritage, accept your destiny."I stepped forward, my voice quivering with emotion. "Mother,
