Kaima

The sound of my keyboard filled the quiet office. My fingers moved fast, my mind trying to focus on the heaps of documents scattered around my desk—numbers, contracts, property reports—anything to drown out the chaos in my chest.

I was back at work. I needed to leave the packhouse because of how everyone looked at me with pity in their eyes, like they were waiting for me to break down.

But I was fine.

Or at least, that’s what I kept telling myself.

“Should you even be here?”

His voice came from the corner of the office, carrying that sharp-edged calm only one man could pull off.

Nathan.

I kept trying to avoid his gaze. He looked effortlessly handsome. Get yourself together, Kaima. I kept my head still buried in work. “I have work to do,” I said simply.

He moved out of his chair, stopping beside my desk. “You’re not supposed to be working, Kaima. The healer said—”

“I’m fine,” I said quickly, stopping him before he could go any further, my eyes still on the screen. “My legs are h

    KaimaThe ground started moving, and at first I thought it was all in my head. The feeling was subtle, almost like a vibration under my feet. I tightened my hold on Nicholai instinctively, pressing closer to him, my heart racing. But it wasn’t only me who felt it.“Can you guys feel that?” Tara asked, her voice tight.“Tara… Tara,” I said, lifting my head from Nicholai’s chest, fear rising sharply. “Behind you.” I pointed, my finger shaking, to a portal forming behind her.Wind slammed into us like a tidal wave, so sudden it stole my breath. The ground shook violently, like a volcano was about to erupt beneath us. Pebbles lifted off the floor, spinning in the air as the pull intensified, dragging everything toward the swirling darkness.“What the hell is going on?” I yelled, my voice almost swallowed by the roaring wind.We all turned to Kyle, and for once, he looked just as shocked as we were. His brows furrowed deeply.“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of a portal opening in the labyr

    NathanI hated this place so much. The deeper we went, the worse it became. The more we kept going, the weaker I felt, like something unseen was slowly draining me from the inside. It wasn’t physical exhaustion alone—it was heavier than that, sinking into my bones, into my head. It was like this place was subconsciously draining me, feeding on whatever strength I had left.And right now, all I wanted was to stop. To sit down. To breathe. But I couldn’t. We needed to find her. That thought alone forced my legs to keep moving, forced my breathing to stay even, even when my chest felt tight. Kyle walked a few steps ahead of me, completely unbothered.It was like this place had no single effect on him.“Hey,” Kyle said suddenly, glancing over his shoulder. “How are you holding up?”“I’m fine,” I answered quickly, too quickly.He gave me an amused look that annoyed the shit out of me. “Nathan, are you sure?”“Yeah,” I muttered, jaw tight. “Totally fine.”We kept walking, twisting into anot

    NicholaiWe had been walking for so long it didn’t just feel like hours—it felt like years. My legs ached, my muscles burned, and my sense of direction had completely abandoned me. I was pretty sure we were going in circles, trapped in some cruel loop that refused to end.All we did was walk through another wall of bones and push ourselves through another narrow passage that led nowhere. The sound of our footsteps echoed strangely, as if the maze was mocking us. The air was suffocating and untouchable; it felt like this place didn’t know what fresh air was, like it had never existed here at all. I was tired of walking. Exhausted. But if we stopped, who knew what would come at us from the dark again. After a while, I stopped. My chest rose and fell unevenly as frustration finally boiled over.“There’s really no way out of this place, is there?”I turned to Tara, who looked like she’d been trying so hard not to pass out. Her face was pale, her steps unsteady, but she forced herself to

    KaimaKyle looked frustrated as he kept looking around the endless stretch of darkness like just his stare would produce a magical door out of here.He ran a hand through his hair as if he wanted to rip it out of his skull. “No… no… this shouldn’t be happening. The portal was supposed to take us straight into the underworld. The portal shouldn’t link here unless—” he stopped.Nathan frowned. “Unless what?”Kyle looked at us as if contemplating what to say.“Unless what, Kyle?” Nathan snapped.“Nathan, take a look around. I’m very sure I’m not the only one feeling the energy this place radiates. In case it’s not clear to you, we are in one of the worst realms in all of existence. The labyrinth doesn’t just appear by accident. Someone diverted us into it on purpose.”My throat went dry.Who would do something like that, and why?Kyle continued pacing. “Only a powerful being could reroute a portal this way. Whoever did it wanted us lost—not just lost, but separated.”But then everything

    NicholaiI woke up in suffocating darkness that pressed down on me like a living thing. My eyes strained but I didn’t see even a faint glimmer of light. My breath came in quiet bursts, my heart pounding against my chest.“Kaima,” I called her name, but no response. “Kaima,” I tried again, louder this time, still nothing. “Kaima, where are you?”I looked around. There was no single trace of her.“Kaima!” I yelled again, but still nothing.“Where… where the hell is everyone?” I whispered, looking around in plain darkness.Then I heard it, a soft pained cry somewhere to my right. It was Tara.“Tara… Tara?” I called out.Her weak trembling voice replied, “Nicholai…”I ran—or rather, I moved fast—towards her, my senses guiding me through the darkness. The air smelled of dust and decayed bones buried under centuries of sand. Then I saw her, half slumped on the ground, coughing, her chest heaving.“Tara,” I knelt down beside her. She was shaking, eyes wide with fear. When I helped her up, I

    KaimaMy fingers were trembling, and it felt like the guardian was staring straight into me, like I already knew the memory I feared losing the most.Nathan moved forward, almost shielding me with his body, but the thing didn't stop looking at me. It kept staring at me with those red eyes.And then it spoke."Especially you, celestial child. Your price must be higher."I didn't even get a chance to react when Nicholai moved, like he was about to fight with the guardian, but was stopped by Kyle."No," Nicholai growled, "she's not giving you anything."The guardian snapped his neck so fast toward Nicholai I thought it was about to fall off.Then he said, his voice low, "None shall pass, not even the dying wolf."Nathan stiffened beside me.The dying wolf—hearing it out loud made it feel realer than it already was.Nathan's voice was strained, like he hated the words that left his mouth. "Kaima... we don't have a choice."My throat felt so dry."But why me? Why do I have to give more tha
