At first, it's only a faint whisper like a brush against my ear, but then it becomes louder and stronger until it's screaming, calling me home — the call of the gate. I'm not aware of the smoke and darkness surrounding me and filling the room, because right now, darkness is all I can see as my mind travels toward the call. My mind shifts through the darkness fast, black thick clouds whip past my vision. A faint orange glow is visible in the distance, and the further I go toward the call, the brighter and redder it becomes until I suddenly break through the darkness and see the flames of hell and the burning red gate covered in black soot.

Isolde, visibly disturbed by a particular echo, murmured, "Some of these memories... they feel personal. Like they're plucked from my own past." Elysia, trying to comfort her, replied, "The void is a reflection of what was and what might be. It resonates with our own experiences. But we can't get lost in it." Suddenly, the orb's glow intensified, illuminating a pathway. Following its guidance, the guardians came upon an ancient-looking tree, its bark dark and its branches bare, save for a few leaves that shimmered like the night sky. The Abyssal Oak. Ezra approached the Oak, the orb resonating strongly. "This is it. But it seems... dormant."

Scarlet's lifeblood spilled onto the stone floor, crimson liquid cascading over the mystical orb. As Scarlet's blood mingled with the orb, the chamber quaked with a violent tremor. The very fabric of the room seemed to pulsate with an ominous energy. Annik watched in horror as his beloved Luna's life force drained away, his heart breaking with each passing second. Suddenly, the darkness consumed Annik, his body trembling uncontrollably. His eyes turned black as the abyss, a transformation overtaking him. He emerged from the shroud of darkness, a monstrous black wolf, his aura radiating power and madness.

♠️ ETHAN ♠️ The warehouse smelled like rust and damp concrete, old oil, and now, the sharp tang of blood. We’d dragged Brandon to one of Dre’s safe spots on the outskirts of the city—a forgotten industrial shell where screams didn’t echo far. He was tied to a metal chair in the center, wrists raw from the zip ties, head lolling from the punch I’d given him earlier. Dre flipped on the single hanging bulb, casting harsh shadows across Brandon’s face. He stirred, groaning, eyes fluttering open to the nightmare.

Dad—Kael—stood at the front, gun raised, eyes sharp and steady like the old warrior he’d always been. Ethan scanned the shadows. Elara’s blood magic stirred uneasily, reacting to the twins’ pain. The chamber opened suddenly. At its center stood a cracked stone pedestal. And on it— the orb. A small sphere of swirling black void, veins of sick light crawling across its surface. Cold rolled off it in waves. Vorath waited inside. The twins cried out at the same time. Aria’s eyes flashed black, the void blooming wide and hungry. Kai’s light flared in answer, thin and strained, pushing toward her.

cried Mars, in a voice that frightened everyone, as his black veins reappeared and his lenses became very dark. But Darkle, not afraid, held his hand to do their job, they pulled out an old woman who was terrified Mars' eyes became red and black as he stared at his frightened companion Can he face an entire herd? “I am ready to kill your flock one by one for my companion, and you are the first, do you know this?” With a hiss, he said, taking slow steps towards Darkle, who was staring at him coldly

Leon roared, his amber eyes scanning the darkening room. The shadows in front of the fireplace began to swirl, condensing into a thick, misty vortex. From the dark fog, an ethereal figure stepped forward. It was the pack Oracle. Her long, tattered robes seemed to float around her as if underwater, and her eyes were entirely clouded over in a milky white, completely devoid of pupils. "Alpha Leonhart," the Oracle rasped, her voice sounding like dry leaves scraping across stone. It echoed in a terrifying, unnatural cadence that made the hairs on my arms stand up.

The edges ragged and jagged tears bit into the words. Lloyd peered close, the rips making it a bit harder to read, as well as the uneven script, written by a hand that had been shaking. The sun is bright. But all around us is darkness. I could have all the gold in the world. The hidden locations are wide open. But the cost is crippling. I had much of it tossed over the side. The weeds can conceal it and the drowned men can have use of it. The beast knows I came close to finding some way out. And the consequence was worse. Their souls, my own and the blood of children. It won't be sated until a hundred or maybe more have been slaughtered.

She kept checking with Xavier and Conri, asking if they were able to turn around and leave before continuing. Finally, they stepped into a dark cavernous room made of cold, hard stone. A sourceless dark light with a deep red hue permeated the room. She didn’t know how light could be dark, but it looked like a thick cloud of reddish black. She could vaguely make out things when she focused on an area. Not perfectly, but enough. “Do either of you feel the desire to get to Tartarus?” Thea said. “No,” Conri and Xavier said together.
