The forest loomed darker and colder as Selene and Eli ran, their breaths coming in sharp gasps. The trees seemed to close in, their twisted branches forming a canopy so dense that not even the faintest glimmer of moonlight could penetrate it. Selene clutched the vial tightly, its faint glow barely illuminating the path ahead. “Do you think she’ll be okay?” Eli asked between breaths, his voice trembling. Selene didn’t answer immediately. She wanted to believe Kael would survive, but the doubt gnawed at her. “She’s strong,” Selene said finally, though her tone betrayed her uncertainty. Eli nodded, though his expression was grim. “We have to keep moving. Kael gave us this chance, we can't waste it.” The path twisted and turned unpredictably, leading them deeper into the forest. Each step felt heavier, as though the ground itself resisted their progress. The air grew colder, and Selene shivered, wrapping her arms around herself. Suddenly, the path split into three narrow trails,

Selene and Eli trudged onward, the golden light in the distance their only beacon. The air grew colder with each step, the once-vibrant colors of the realm dimming into muted shades. The ground beneath them felt brittle, cracking slightly under their weight. Eli glanced around, his dagger drawn. “This place is too quiet. It’s like it’s holding its breath.” Selene nodded, clutching the glowing vial close to her chest. “The figure said this realm doesn’t forgive intruders. We have to be ready for anything.” As they neared the base of the hill, a faint sound reached their ears, a soft, almost melodic whisper. It was faint at first, like the rustling of leaves, but it grew louder with each step they took. “Do you hear that?” Eli asked, his voice low. Selene stopped, straining to listen. The whispers seemed to be coming from all around them, echoing and overlapping. Though she couldn’t make out the words, the tone was haunting, sending shivers down her spine. “What is it saying

The world around Selene and Eli seemed to warp as they stepped through the glowing portal. They landed with a soft thud, the air around them thick and heavy. The ground beneath their feet was uneven, a vast expanse of jagged rocks stretching out before them. The sky overhead was a deep, swirling violet, clouds swirling ominously above them. It was a world like no other, cold and distant, a place where even the air seemed to shiver with unknown energy.Selene took a deep breath, her heart still racing from the events they had just witnessed. She could still feel the echo of the mirror’s power, the way it had twisted her memories into something almost unbearable. But now, in this strange, alien world, there was no time to linger on the past. The future, and whatever trials it held, awaited them."Eli," she whispered, her voice carrying a mix of exhaustion and determination. "We’ve come too far to turn back now."Eli gave her a small, reassuring smile, though the concern in his eyes was

The ground beneath Selene trembled, her heartbeat echoing in her ears like a distant drum. She stumbled backward, eyes wide as she tried to make sense of the figure emerging from the shadows. Her breath came in ragged gasps, and her chest tightened as she stared at the person who had just spoken her name in a voice that was both familiar and foreign."Eli?" she whispered, her voice barely audible. The emotions inside her were a storm, wild and uncontrollable, as the name passed her lips. Could it really be him? Was he standing right in front of her?But the figure’s presence felt wrong, distorted. His eyes once warm and full of life now appeared cold, empty, as if he were nothing more than a hollow shell. The once familiar warmth of his smile had been replaced with a sinister smirk."I knew you’d come for me," the figure said, his voice carrying a strange, mocking tone that sent a shiver down Selene’s spine. "How predictable, how utterly naïve."Selene’s breath hitched, and her heart

Selene stood alone in the cold, the darkness of the night swallowing her whole. Her hands were trembling, her heart a chaotic mess of emotions she couldn’t make sense of. Eli had just walked away, as if everything they had shared meant nothing. Derek’s warning still echoed in her mind, each word sharper than the last. But even now, as the doubt threatened to swallow her, Selene couldn’t bring herself to believe that Eli was lost.She had to find him. She had to know what had happened to the man she loved. The man who had once made her feel like she was everything.The wind howled around her, a harsh reminder of the world she was now living in one full of lies, secrets, and broken promises. She could still feel the warmth of his touch, the way his hands had held hers as if he never wanted to let go. But that man, the one who had whispered sweet words in her ear, was gone. And in his place stood a stranger.Selene’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind her. Her hea
