she really did not care for him. “It is said” Joseph continued “A long time ago, a group of supernatural’s found themselves exiled cast out of their packs, their covens and clans, for different reasons. Out of fear of persecution they came together and with the help of a very powerful protection incantation four towns were created, Ferny Grove, Sandstone ridge, Wood Grove and River Rock Valley. Pillars were placed around each one of the towns, one for each of the four towns, the four supernatural’s that built them and the four elements that they draw their power from. The pillars are built from the wood of the Rowan tree. This wood when used to bind spells, is said to provide unbreakable pr

Arth said. “The Three Pillars of Light,” Elicantris replied. “My mentor, Elder Magus Halo, had created those three pillars from the mountain peaks. He gave me a seed days before he died. He said it was a seed from the Tree of Skya … and when the time comes that the demons would find our hideout, I just have to plant the seed and the pillars will do the rest.” Arth stared at the three pillars, amazed. But before he could say anything, Elicantris grabbed him by his arm and said, “Now’s our chance to escape.”

“It’s responding to our determination.” Clara nodded, her gaze fixed on the flickering flames. “We’re going to succeed. I can feel it.” --- As first light broke on the skyline, the Pillars of Creation came into sight, an arrangement of towering stone monuments that rose from the soil like old sentinels. The air was charged with energy, a confirmation to the power that lay inside. The group approached the Pillars with a sense of awe, their presence a reminder of the history and magic that shaped their world. Clara felt the Heart’s spark within her, its energy resonating with the Pillars in a harmonious symphony.

⸻ Ashani: The Watching Eye Meanwhile, miles away, Ashani sat in a small, cluttered study deep within the heart of the Hollow Hill estate, the weight of recent events pressing down on her. The ancient texts before her lay open, the pages worn and frayed, but the knowledge they contained was still sharp and powerful. Her fingers traced the symbols on the pages, the same ones Clara had shown her, the same ones that had played a part in the ancient bindings, the rituals meant to contain the Seed of Varethkaal.

As he reached out, the First King’s voice echoed one last time. “Are you ready to become the pillar upon which the world shall stand?” Elior closed his eyes, took a breath, and made his choice. The Hollow Realm shattered. And the world was reborn.

The pillars were all around me, I felt fear and uncertainty. A beam of light connected from one pillar to another and so it went on until they were all connected and then another beam of light came from each of them and connected at the middle, a few feet above my head. I realized what was going on too late. Before I could run away, a beam of light shot from the connected point at the center to my head and once again, I experience a falling sensation.

The tugging sensation begins again, growing more and more intense as I continue to hold on, as the feeling intensifies I close my eyes and let it take me where it will. Splat! I make the mistake of gasping for breath and the taste of both mud and excrement fill my mouth. Spitting, I stand up noticing in the journey that I have dropped the pendant. Taking a look around, I wonder if this is where the heir has been hidden all this time. Reaching down I pick up the pendant and wipe it off on my cloak. I barely have time to do this before the sensation of tugging once more overwhelms me and the world blurs away. *************************************************************************************

A mass grave meant nothing left to bury—scavengers, bones scattered, flesh devoured. But Matthew wouldn't let it go. "Eli suffered so much—I have to find him," he insisted, tearful and relentless. So my father, against his better judgment, sent a group of servants to the reeking pit of corpses to search for my remains. I followed them, watching as they prodded through the mountain of rotting bodies with long iron hooks. The stench was so foul that several young servants doubled over and vomited. In the end, it was George who found my corpse. He remembered the coarse cloth I'd been wearing when they sold me off—and the tiny, clumsy ink orchid I'd embroidered on the hem with my own hands.
