**Kelly Thompson's POV** The sapling isn't just a tree-it's a *mirror*. Its obsidian bark reflects my face, twisted into the Rootmother's cruel smile. The emerald leaves whisper with my voice, taunting, coaxing. The survivors circle it, their weapons trembling. Some beg me to burn it. Others kneel

"Mother," Eden began, his voice carrying a weight beyond his years, "this scepter is more than just a symbol of our pack's strength. It embodies the unity and the collective power we hold. With its aid, we can amplify our magic, disrupt the Black Faes' dark enchantments, and trace the steps of those
