2025-07-14 09:00:07CHAPTER 33 – RED TRAILS IN THE CITY
A thin mist still blanketed the city streets as Kael and I finally returned, our steps heavy but full of determination. After the long journey from the foot of Mount Milestone, it felt strange to set foot again on sidewalks that once felt so familiar. But everything was different now—I was no longer the Aria I once was, and this city no longer felt truly safe. Every street corner seemed to hold shadows of a past that now felt foreign. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the relentless pounding of my heart.
Before doing anything else, I decided to stop by Dr. Sarah’s animal clinic. There was a strong urge in my heart to let her know I was alright. The clinic was just as I remembered: the sharp scent of antiseptic in the air, the sound of dogs barking from the back kennels, and soft laughter from the treatment room that, for some reason, always made me feel at ease. But today, the atmosphere felt mor

Chapter 43 – THE UNDYING FLAMEPOV: AriaThe night air still blanketed Silverwood in a lingering chill, though not as piercing as the nights before. Something had shifted—maybe because the tension had hardened into resolve, or because the fear within me had found a defined enemy. The road ahead was still dark, but I no longer felt alone.I sat on the edge of an empty bed in the clinic, right where Luna had once lain. The scent of herbs and antiseptic still hung in the air, but there was no stir from the blankets, no breath from the sister I loved. Only the faint trace of her presence remained, incomplete and fading.Then a familiar sound floated in through the open window—soft, yet searing. A long, deep howl full of pain. My body shot up at once.Kael.I didn’t wait. My feet moved before my mind even issued the command. I pushed the clinic door open and froze. There he was—a massi

CHAPTER 42 — A LIGHT BEHIND THE CURTAINThe night air still held a biting chill, slipping through the cracks in the old wooden walls of Dr. Hayes’ clinic. Even though the hearth in the corner glowed softly and the oil lamp hanging from the ceiling cast a warm golden light, the wind outside still managed to creep along the skin with a gentle but relentless cold. The clinic—usually the safest refuge—felt too quiet tonight. Too fragile.The lamp’s glow sent tiny shadows dancing across the walls and table, as if something alive lurked behind every corner. The scent of herbs and alcohol from the small medicine shelf dominated the air, mingling with the aroma of gently steaming chicken soup from the clay bowl on the center table. Across from me, Dr. Hayes gently pushed that bowl toward me.“Here. Sit. Eat something before your body completely gives out,” he said softly, though there was weight in his voice. It

CHAPTER 41 — TRACES OF POISON.I don’t remember exactly when I fell asleep.Maybe it was right after we arrived in Silverwood, or maybe it was my body, too exhausted, finally giving in to the toll of the journey and the constant tension I had been carrying.All I remembered was the sound of the river outside the window, flowing gently, and the embrace of the night—comforting, for the first time in a long while.It felt like breathing in a safe place.The air I drew in met no resistance. Not like the nights before, when every breath felt laced with caution.Now, my body finally softened—like fabric slipping free from a hook. For a moment... I could be fragile.I sat in a wooden chair by the window of the tiny bedroom in Dr. Hayes’ clinic.Moonlight filtered through the cracked frosted glass, casting a soft reflection on the tiled floor.I stared at the full moon as it emerged fully

CHAPTER 40 — ASH BENEATH THE SKYThe night forest had turned into something foreign. There were no hoots from night birds, no rustling from small creatures. It was as if the world held its breath—watching as three shadows streaked through the darkness like black lightning. Only the whisper of the wind and the soft crunch of dried leaves underfoot resonated now and then as sharp claws touched the ground.Kael led the way. His wolf form stood tall, his jet-black fur glistening under the moonlight. His golden eyes burned like embers in the night, speaking volumes without words: anger, fear, and resolve. Marcus, burlier and covered in reddish-brown fur, followed with heavy breaths. Each of his steps pounded like war drums against the cold earth. Behind them, Elena ran in near silence. Compared to the other two, she was sleeker and more agile, her reddish-gray fur shimmering like flames dancing in the wind.The three of them moved as one,

Chapter 39: Beneath the Shadow of the MoonThe forest looked like a dark labyrinth, with towering tree silhouettes dangling like shadowy hands trying to reach us. The night wind slipped through the gaps in my clothes, stealing what little warmth was left in my body—already drained by magic and exhaustion. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and aged humus—ordinarily calming, yet tonight, it only added to the weight pressing on my chest.Luna lay fragile in my arms, her body featherlight yet burdened with the weight of the world. Her skin was cold, her breaths short and labored—like a candle's flame barely clinging to life. Every step I took dragged memories, guilt, loss, and fear behind me—all piled into the silence I carried.Kael, Marcus, and Elena moved ahead of me, their steps quick and nimble between jutting roots and wild underbrush. The narrow footpath was barely visible, yet they avoided snags of roots and soft earth with ease. I tried to keep pace, but every system

CHAPTER 38: "Betrayal and Truth"“Sarah… what are you doing?” My voice was hoarse.I wanted to believe this was just a nightmare. That my best friend, the person I had trusted all this time, wasn’t actually standing there as part of the darkness that had shattered our lives.Sarah chuckled softly. The warmth in her laugh was gone. “I’ve been by your side all this time, Aria. Listening to your secrets. Protecting you. But at the same time... I was also working for them. For Project Mirror.”Kael moved instantly, his body tensing, golden eyes glowing. He leapt toward Sarah, but halted mid-air—as if hitting an invisible wall. He was thrown back, slamming against the stone wall with a loud thud.I rushed to him, dropping to my knees beside him. “Kael!”He growled, but signaled he was still alive. I turned to Sarah, my breathing heavy. “Why, Sarah? You know who I am. You know how much I needed yo
