But he remained steadfast, keeping his preferences locked away. "But it's a truth game!" protested one of the staff members, a hint of frustration shown in his voice. "You're supposed to tell the truth." Mateo smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Indeed, it is a truth game," he affirmed, his tone confident. "And I spoke the truth by saying it's a secret. I haven't lied to you." A ripple of realization spread through the group, followed by a chorus of laughter. They marveled at Mateo's cleverness, acknowledging the intelligence he had employed to navigate their inquisitive game.

It looked alive. "What is it?" "Truthroot. A rare potion. Forces the drinker to confess their deepest secrets. One drop is enough to unravel a life." I took the vial, holding it up to the firelight. "And you want me to use this on Ivy?" "No," he said. "You’ll use it on someone close to her. Someone she confides in. Someone who will spill something useful." My mind raced. Ivy didn’t have many friends, but she had one: Elara. A gentle girl, soft-spoken like Ivy but smarter than people gave her credit for. They’d grown up together.

“Fine. But if anything seems off, you pull back. Understood?” She nodded, but deep down, she knew she wouldn’t stop until she had answers. --- That night, Eve made her way to the outskirts of the territory, where Elias had told her to meet him. The trees stood tall and silent, their leaves whispering in the night breeze. She found him leaning against an old oak, his expression unreadable. “You took a risk coming here alone,” Elias murmured. Eve crossed her arms. “I need the truth. You know more than you’re saying.”

He seemed sincere, but I'd been fooled before. "Why should I trust you?" I asked. Elias reached into his pocket and pulled out a small object. He held it out to me - a simple wooden carving of a wolf. But not just any wolf. It was Olie, down to the scar over his right eye. "Because I've seen what's coming," Elias said quietly. "And without my help, without Nathan's help, you will lose everything you love." I took the carving, turning it over in my hands. It was perfect, every detail exact. How could he know what my wolf looked like?

It cut deeper every time he remembered it. “I don’t know what’s real anymore,” Eli whispered. “Every nice thing he did… was it all fake? The way he held me? The way he kissed me? The way he looked at me when he put this collar on?” Julian knelt in front of him again. “Some of it might have been real. Cove is human. But the plan was always the same. Get the hacker. Get the codes. Get rid of the hacker.” Eli’s shoulders slumped. The fight drained out of him. “I feel so stupid. So used.”

Jake echoed, signaling for Selene, who walked in with a bowl. “The Balm of Truth,” she said. “Used since ancient times to compel honesty. She will speak the truth, whether she likes it or not.” Two guards gripped Ella’s shoulders. No...No, let go of me," She writhed, screamed, but Selene moved fast—smearing the balm across her lips and forehead. "Now we wait and let the truth come forth!" At first, nothing happened. Then her breathing changed. Shallow and erratic. Her mouth opened—words tumbling out in slurred confession.

It was my turn and Dori to hide in the bushes. "Dori, will this work?" I whispered to Dori. Dori touched my shoulder "we aim well, I'm sure we succeeded, calm down" said Dori. I set my breath to calm. A few minutes passed, Eliz suddenly put on a vigilant attitude. "Lilia" shouted Eliz is grinning. My body shakes, seeing Lilia coming with her members. This time, Lilia's members were three men and one woman. The woman who heard Eliz and Dori said earlier. It looks like that woman fell into our trap

Evand was sitting on the ground next to me, his whole body shaking, his small fists clutching handfuls of grass like he was afraid he might fall off the earth. “What do you mean, set her free?” I asked. “Look.” He pointed at Requbar, not at the city itself but over it. There was a pillar of smoke, which was mostly dirt and debris thrown up by the blast. As I watched, something moved through the smoke. At first I thought it was just the wind, but it was more like something solid in the way of the smoke, only invisible. “What is it?” I asked. “It is an elf,” said Raviva. “It is reclaiming its true form.”

Adrian stands, his jaw set, eyes locked on Eliora with a fury that could melt iron. And me? I stand here, seventy-three years old, hands trembling on the stand, knowing I’ve finally done what I should have done all those years ago when they were just two little girls fighting over a broken doll. I say one last thing before they lead me out: “Your Honor, the truth is a terrible thing when you keep it buried. But when you let it breathe — it frees everyone.” I see Eliora look away. For the first time, I think she realizes she can’t twist this truth anymore.
