All Chapters of The White Rose Of Damnation: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The morning was cool, but the rising sun slowly bathed the camp in gold.A calm hung between the tents, broken only by the movement of a few early risers shifting through the misty light.The chirping of birds intertwined with the distant roar of the sea, as if nature itself had granted a brief moment of peace to the war-torn land.Sky was already awake.As the sunlight filtered through the seams of the tent, she pushed herself up sleepily and took a deep breath of the morning air.The mix of smells-smoke, salt, and dewy grass-brought a strange sense of peace.For a moment, she felt as if all her worries had disappeared.Then she remembered the front, the endless training, the losses-and everything that had happened yesterday.Soon, the others began to stir as well.The large central tent where meals were served quickly filled with gathering soldiers.Breakfast was simple-freshly baked bread, boiled eggs, dried meat, and hot tea-but in times of war, even this felt like a royal feast.

At dawn the sky was still dark when the first screams cut through the silence of the frontline camp. The tension had been building for days, but the attack at sunrise shocked everyone. This was no longer a training camp. There were no safe walls, no daily routine, no safe zones. This was reality. This was war.Soldiers ran between the tents, grabbing their weapons and shouting orders. Dark shapes moved in the misty morning light. The Army of Darkness had arrived.Under her blanket Sky opened her eyes in fear. Her heart was pounding. She heard metal clashing, alarm calls, and someone falling not far from her. Through the thin fabric of the tent she saw moving shadows. Creatures she had once known only from books. Now they were real. And deadly.Sky jumped to her feet, grabbed her weapon, and stepped outside. The sight of the camp was terrifying. Fire cut through the ground. Explosions painted the sky red. Soldiers fought with blood on their faces and dirt on their clothes, but they did

The late morning sunlight came through the smoky and dusty air. The haze from the night attack still hung over the camp. The camp felt quiet and tense. People looked tired. Their bodies showed they had barely rested. The attack had shaken everyone. The shadow creatures came fast and hard. They damaged the defense lines and left many dead and wounded behind.Sky woke up slowly in the cool dim light of the main medical tent. Her face was pale. Her body felt empty. The memories of the night still chased her. The fever dreams had marked her mind, but when she opened her eyes a little, a familiar deep voice broke the silence.“Sky. I am here,” Damian said in a soft but steady voice. He sat beside her bed with his arms crossed, like he was holding himself together while he watched every small movement.“What happened?” Sky asked weakly. She tried to sit up, but Damian gently pressed her back down.“Rest a little longer. The night was hard, but you did it. You protected us. We pushed the att

The fog was thick like a wall, slowly creeping under their clothes and sinking into their bones. The world had lost its colors. It was not black, not gray, but something undefined, twisted, empty. Sky forced herself to her feet, trembling, while the others tried to gather themselves around her. The air was stale and heavy, and every breath felt like tiny needles in her lungs.“Is everyone alive?” Damian asked hoarsely.“Barely,” Faith hissed, gripping her ankle. “This place… it wants to swallow us.”Calder knelt beside Lennox, who was still holding the shard stuck in his shoulder. His face was pale, but his eyes were alert.Sky slowly turned in a circle. The landscape shifted unnaturally, as if the entire world were an unfinished dream that never fully solidified. In the distance dark shapes flickered. At first they looked like shadows cast by nothing. Then she saw movement. They were human shaped, but distorted, with elongated limbs and smooth faces where features should have been. T

Light. Then pain. Then… absence.Damian’s body crashed heavily onto the grass as he tore through the trembling skin of the portal. The world opened around him again—but not the way it had before. The air here was cooler, more solid, more real. And yet there was no relief in it.Because someone had not come with him.He lay motionless for several seconds after hitting the ground. The pain came in crushing waves. His ribs protested every shallow breath, and the blood seeping from his chest was no longer warm—only cold and dangerous.You’re not alone.That was the last thing Sky had told him with her eyes before she pushed him through.And now… now he was here without her.Somewhere nearby, Faith’s voice broke through the ringing in his ears.“Damian!”She stumbled to her knees beside him. Lennox and Calder followed moments later. All of them filthy. Wounded. Shaken to the core.But alive.Sky was not among them.Damian groaned and tried to roll onto his side, forcing himself up, but a v
