Estevan lowered his voice into a whisper. “Her fear?” Estevan sighed. “It’s one of the greatest hindrances in uniting the three pillars of the soul.

Fear grips me like a vice, every breath a struggle against the rising panic. AJ and Sofia exchange anxious glances, mirroring the fear painted on my face. The reality of our predicament sinks in, the fact that we are hunted, cornered, with the threat of death looming ever closer. As the footsteps draw nearer, my thoughts jumble into a chaotic rollercoaster. The chilling realisation that this might be the end draws at my consciousness.
