The Calm Before the Storm

Selene opened her eyes to a delicate aroma of herbs and smoke. For a brief moment, she wondered if she was lost in another dream. Above her, the ceiling was constructed of rough wooden beams, with the soft dawn light filtering in through the window. The atmosphere was cool, thick with the scent of healing salves. Then she sensed it — a warm hand gripping hers.

Reven.

He was seated at her bedside, his eyes laden with fatigue. His shoulder was wrapped in a bandage, and his shirt was ripped at the sleeve. Yet despite his injuries, he retained an unyielding presence — just as he had always been.

“You’re awake,” he murmured, relief washing over his voice.

Selene attempted to sit up, but her body resisted. Her magic had depleted her entirely. “What… what became of the rogues?” she inquired, her throat parched.

“Gone,” Reven asserted. “Or dead. But they were far from ordinary rogues. They carried the stench of dark magic — the type that shouldn’t exist in this world

    When the Moon WeepsThe subsequent night arrived too quickly, shrouding the fortress in a heavy, unsettling stillness. The torches lining the walls flickered dimly, their flames wavering like fading stars. Wolves now roamed in pairs, their ears quivering at every sound, their hearts burdened with fatigue and fear.Jorah leaned against the western watchtower, gazing into the fog. They had been waiting for three days. Three long, seemingly endless days had passed since the earth ceased to tremor. No fresh shocks, no voices, no indications — only silence.Sleep evaded him. Each time he shut his eyes, the valley appeared before him — illuminated in red, exhaling darkness — accompanied by Selene’s voice floating on the breeze.“Commander,” a gentle voice called from behind. It was Mira again. She had scarcely left his side since that fateful night. Her robes were stained with ash and dried blood from her efforts to care for the injured, yet her spirit radiated a quiet resilience that reass

    The Burden of SilenceDaylight emerged softly and chill over the stronghold. The scant warmth the sun provided did little to quell the discomfort that hung in the atmosphere. The once lively courtyard now resonated with the sounds of hushed conversations, clinking armor, and anxious hearts.The pack had remained awake. Not after the night of quakes.Commander Jorah positioned himself on the elevated wall, observing the forest beneath. The valley was silent now — too silent. Where there had been flashes of lightning and shifting forms, only still fog lingered, winding through the trees like spectral fingers.Mira approached, her footsteps gentle but her expression marked by fatigue. “They’re beginning to lose confidence,” she spoke softly. “Some of the younger ones believe the Luna’s voice was merely a trick of the curse.”Jorah didn’t turn to face her. His hands rested on the stone railing, knuckles tense. “Let them believe what they will,” he muttered. “As long as they continue to fi

    The Night of TremorsThe earth growled like an injured creature. The fortress stones creaked, cracking under a pressure they could not see as the moon turned a bloody red in the sky. Every wolf within the stronghold sensed it—the call of ancient power coursing through their very bones.Jorah stumbled out of the command hall, his claws only partially formed, his eyes glowing gold. “Secure the gates!” he yelled, but his voice was swallowed by the chorus of howling—hundreds of wolves crying out together, a blend of anguish and fear. He glanced toward the valley where their Alpha and Luna had disappeared days earlier. Lightning illuminated the landscape, not from above but emerging from the ground itself, rending the forest with streaks of crimson light.“What is going on?” Mira exclaimed as she rushed to stand beside him. Her hair clung to her face, her eyes filled with dread.“The curse,” Jorah growled. “It’s awake and raging.”The soldiers in the yard struggled to maintain their footi

    Through the Heart of the SealThe light engulfed them completely.In one breathless instant, Selene sensed her spirit being yanked from her body. The surroundings whirled, sound vanished, and she felt weightless — plunging through a limitless tunnel of light and shadows. Reven’s grasp on her hand was the sole thing keeping her tethered to reality.Then, with a thunderous rush of air, they landed.Selene gasped, her knees hitting soft earth. She blinked rapidly, attempting to understand her environment. The air was warm, thick with the fragrance of wild jasmine and rain. Above them stretched not stone but sky — a twilight expanse caught between night and dawn, painted in swirling shades of gold and violet.Reven stood slowly, his golden eyes scanning the horizon. “Where are we?”Selene got to her feet beside him, her heartbeat still racing. “It’s… stunning.”And it truly was — impossibly so. They found themselves in a sprawling field where silver grass shimmered under the twilight glow

    The Voice Of Blood The cavern grew eerily quiet. Only the faint resonance of the glowing runes filled the air, pulsing in sync with Selene’s heartbeat.Her breath came rapidly as the crimson eyes watched her from the shadows. For a moment, she was frozen. Then — a voice. Deep. Familiar. Too human to be attributed to the creature lurking in the dark.“Selene…”The sound enveloped her name like a memory — gentle, quivering, steeped in sorrow.Reven tensed beside her, his claws shimmering slightly in the silver glow. “Who’s there?” he shouted, his voice bouncing off the stone walls.No response came. Just the slow, steady thrum of footsteps.Selene’s heart raced. She recognized that voice. It was more than mere familiarity — it resonated in her very blood.When the creature emerged into the light, Selene felt her legs nearly buckling.It wasn’t a monster. Not now.A woman stood before her — or what was left of one. Her form sparkled with an ethereal glow, her hair as pale as ice, her ey

    Beneath the Cursed ValleyWhen Selene opened her eyes, the world was enveloped in silence. It was not a tranquil silence, but one that pressed against her skin — heavy, suffocating, almost sentient.She found herself on cold ground, her cheek resting on smooth stone that glimmered softly with veins of silver light. Above her, a ceiling of crystal roots and luminescent moss illuminated the cavern in a gentle blue glow. The air vibrated subtly, as if the earth itself had a heartbeat.For a long time, she was unable to move. Her body felt as if it weighed nothing, her heartbeat slow and distant. Then — a voice.“Selene…”Her breath caught in her throat. She turned her head, and there he was — Reven, lying just a few feet away, his chest rising and falling faintly. The light from the cavern danced in his dark hair, and his skin appeared pale, glistening with sweat.“Reven,” she breathed, crawling toward him. Her hand shook as she pushed his hair back from his forehead. His skin burned wit
