작가: AJ Reed
last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-09-26 01:40:56

The first timid rays of dawn softened the edges of the ancient forest as Lena made her way back to the sanctuary, every step weighed down by the night’s confrontation. The battle at the stone circle had ripped through the shadows hanging over her mind, but it had also left unseen wounds—fractures hidden beneath her brave facade.

When she crossed back through the sanctuary’s protective wards, the familiar scent of pine and earth wrapped around her like a balm, yet she felt strangely detached, as if part of her had lingered in the darkness beyond the trees. Travis awaited her near the entrance, eyes sharp with worry and relief in equal measure. Without a word, he pulled her into a fierce embrace, grounding her in the present, in the reality they were fighting to preserve.

Inside, the sanctuary was alive with cautious optimism. Jasper and Sarah approached, their faces etched with exhaustion but also hope. “The spell’s grip is weakening,” Jasper reported quietly. “Thanks to you, Lena.”
