Zelda. Brenda's hands tightened on my shoulders. "Remember what I said? It ends here," she hissed.

Suddenly, A car screeched loudly to a halt nearby, distracting Brenda momentarily. As she turned, a stranger emerged—a man with blazing golden eyes. My gazes locked on his, and a surge of energy coursed through me. Strength I'd never known surged through my limbs.

But old habits die hard, and leading meant responsibility. The mark flared again, more insistent this time. A white-hot brand pulsing from inside my forearm, through muscle and bone. My fingers spasmed against my will. I grabbed my arm, squeezing until my knuckles blanched as if I could physically restrain the curse from spreading. My vision blurred at the edges, and the buildings around me were momentarily replaced by a dark chamber, the silhouette of a hooded figure, and the phantom smell of incense and blood. Just as quickly, it was gone, leaving me cold and clammy in the evening air.

Maggie runs over with an ancient book of herbal lore clutched tightly in her jaws, dropping the heavy, leather-bound tome onto the flags before shifting back into her human form. Her face is pale beneath her wolf-form scruff as she flips frantically through the brittle, yellowed pages of the ancestral archive we managed to rescue from the vault during the initial siege. Her finger traces a faded, ominous illustration of a corrupted heart, pointing out that this particular curse is the dreaded "Phantom Rot," which can only be slowed by a rare frost-lily found exclusively in the deepest, most perilous cavern of the Frostpeak Highlands.

My heart felt heavy with anticipation and desperation. I’d been waiting a long time for this moment. Raising a hand, I knock on the weathered door, its surface adorned with symbols and sigils that pulsed with otherworldly energy. The hair along my arms rises as my knuckles rap against the wood. The door creaks open, revealing the interior shrouded in dim candlelight. Stepping inside, I find myself in a familiar room filled with an assortment of herbs, potions, and artifacts. The air is thick with the scent of incense, seeming to almost hum with a mysterious power. My wolf growls softly, the hair on the back of my neck rising.

He whispered something, and a warm sensation rushed through my body, like a soothing herbal bath after a snowstorm. As I enjoyed the healing, feeling the pain gradually fade, my attention snapped back to Levante. He had opened a small gray cloth bag. My eyes widened in shock. Inside were wolfsbane and powder of dried black spider lily. Levante noticed my gaze. A cruel smirk played on his lips. A shiver ran down my spine. I had no idea what he planned to do with them, but something clicked. This cozy cottage wasn’t just a peaceful retreat. It was where his ruthlessness merged with the cruelty of nature.

I parted my lips, forcing the words out, anchoring myself in the bond. “You are…my pack member.” The connection sparked to life between us, and we broke apart, running past each other without pause. But the curse was relentless, sliding after me like a shadow, pressing, reminding, suffocating. “I can’t even keep count anymore,” Phina snapped, her voice sharp with frustration. “These hallucinations are messing everything up.”

He was watching the woman in the jade mask. “Do you recognize her?” I asked. “No.” “But?” “I’ll find out who she is before dawn.” He said it like a promise. When we returned to the main hall, the host was preparing the final lot. Lot #112. A corrupted scepter wrapped in whispercloth—said to “speak to the dead.” Completely illegal. Marked with three Council bans. Last seen in a cursed battlefield forty years ago. No one asked how it had gotten here. They only leaned in, hungry.

She hovered her left hand above them quickly to see if she could sense something coming from them and pulled it back to grab a black glove out of her jacket. “Were they by the graves that got raided? I will take these. We just started our investigation. It’s too soon to tell if they’re related to our case, but we will look into them. Thank you for bringing them to our attention.” Coralis knew exactly what these marbles were, but she couldn’t tell what they were to the caretaker.
