It had been waiting for this moment, waiting for the moment when its bindings were shattered, its chains broken.
“Varethkaal,” Clara whispered as she looked around, her breath caught in her throat. “It’s the forest. The forest itself.”
The Spirit of the Last Name, the being that had controlled WildWood for centuries, was no longer just the vine, no longer just the root that tied the darkness together. It was the darkness itself now. It was the very land — every twisted tree, every fractured rock, every cloud that now blocked out the sun. It was alive, feeding on the ancient power that had once been dormant but was now waking with a hunger that could never be sated.
