it kept on yelling at Abednego. "The game is now, to bring him down, the time is ripe for Igodo forest, yes, for the entire evil forest to drink his blood," the things thundered as it crunched down on the head of Matendechere and chewed, laughed and cried as it devoured her flesh from slit area. Licking the blood that was dropping from the head. Abednego's mind, body, soul weren't prepared for this moment. The thing pulled bowels out from the lifeless body of Matendechere. Abednego's world… shattered and crumbled right before his very eyes.

“He wants to cut us off.” Aria met his gaze. “Then we choose the path that serves us not him.” --- Later that morning, the war council gathered. The map lay open before them, marked with fresh reports. “We have two choices,” Kael said. “Follow the main road risk ambush or move through the Blackwood paths. Harder terrain, but fewer eyes.” Murmurs rippled through the tent. Many glanced toward Aria. She studied the map, mind racing. “We take the Blackwood,” she said at last. “If Velkar wants us off the main road, we won’t give him the satisfaction.”

I felt Theo's eyes on me, but I couldn't look at him, couldn't risk seeing the concern there when I was still so angry about his deception. Simpson's conversation was brief, direct. He gave Elijah's and Elena's numbers, then waited, his gaze occasionally flicking between Theo and me. His phone buzzed less than two minutes later. "Both phones are active," he reported, looking up from his screen. "They're pinging from the same location—somewhere in the middle of Blackwood Forest, approximately two hours northeast of the Royal City." "Blackwood Forest?" I repeated, confusion momentarily overtaking my worry. "That makes no sense. Blood Moon territory is nowhere near there. Why would they be in B

A loose scrap of parchment, thin as old leaves, slid half free from between the next two sheets. For a moment, all I saw was the edge of it—rough, torn. My heart gave a little leap. I tugged it gently out. It was a hand‑drawn map. Crude, yes, but more detailed than the tiny sketch. Lines for rivers. Little triangular mountains. A thicker, darker line marking what must be the border between Blackmoon and whatever lay beyond—Nightfang’s territory now. Near that border, a small X had been scratched in, just off a crooked river bend, near a cluster of hastily drawn trees.

If the Council found him— they would kill him. The boy looked up at her weakly. “Am… am I cursed?” Maelis’ heart tightened painfully. Because she did not know how to answer anymore. Far away, beyond mountains and storm-covered forests— Blackwood prepared for war. Blackwood had sealed its gates three days ago. And tension inside the territory was nearing collapse. “Still no word from the Alpha?” Commander Ryden slammed a map onto the strategy table inside the fortress war room. “No direct communication.”

It was a bridge of ink and intent, connecting the city’s managed core to the untamed periphery. "The woods are moving faster than we expected," a scout named Kael said, handing the heavy book to Sophia. His hands were calloused and stained with pine resin. "The old roads are being reclaimed by the root systems. In another two years, the map you have in the Institute won't just be out of date; it will be a work of fiction." Sophia ran her hand over the rough-hewn cover. "That’s why we’re here, Kael. We aren't trying to stop the woods. We’re trying to learn how to walk through them without breaking anything."

"Old territory maps dating back to the pack's founding. I caught him in here yesterday, claiming he was researching family history." Casie approached the maps, trying to focus despite the distracting heat pulsing through her veins. The oldest showed the original Blackwood territory, much smaller than their current holdings, centred around what was just the main packhouse. “It’s not here, I can’t feel it, anywhere. It should be stronger if it were in this room. However, nothing is marked on here where it might be; they were definitely thorough to ensure only the rightful person could use the Tears power.” Rick stepped closer, his gaze sweeping the room. "What about hidden compartments? Secret

Debby asked looking at them all and looking back at the map which seemed to have been covered in black ink in most certain areas. "Because that place has not been able to be visited for hundreds of years..." Luca said quietly. Lilly listened with a racing heart. “This place is as forbidden as the Vicious Realm. Even worse than that….” Lilly looked sadly at the small, dull, and old map in front of her. Evil place? Then why did Elden Wood look so calm and peaceful in her dream?

~ A small glitchy sound echoed within the room, and an overhead panel suddenly appeared above the orb. [Registered Item Located] {Enchanted Item (Grade 6): White Amber has been located. Coordinates will be displayed below.} [Tap For More] The room initially fell into a tense silence, but Aldred broke it by tapping the panel. Instantly, a detailed map of the Black Market sprawled across the display, resembling a typical mobile app map. Numerous buildings dotted the map, each marked distinctly. The KariBlanc Group gave off a ‘blue’ glow, which was meant to signify the starting point of the journey.

Two were missing. The feed cut to black. Ethan slowly took off his headset. He placed it on the table. The plastic cracked under his grip. He turned to Emily. The room was deadly silent. Lord Blackwood was looking at her with open contempt. Seraphina was smiling—a small, satisfied smile. "I..." Emily stammered. "I thought..." "You thought wrong," Lord Blackwood said.
