Somewhere in the forest beyond town, an owl called. Inside, pages turned. Pens scratched across paper. And two people worked side by side, searching for answers neither could find alone. They pored over crumbling letters, faded maps, and brittle pages, following the tangled threads of an old mystery that wound through both their families. Something strange was buried in Blackwood's past, and if they could piece it together, maybe they could protect what mattered most.

I whispered to them They crackled softly, and for the first time, I thought maybe… they didn’t know the answer either --- Later, while the others slept, I walked to the river The water was dark and unmoving.

Black as death. --------------------------------- The unbroken chain of the curse. Julia found herself plunging into the water. The cold water seeps into my shoes, stealing the heat from my soles just as fast as the wind steals from her face. Her face is soaked, the drops coming together to run into her eyes entering her mouth. Her warmth has run out of ore to shelter and hoard the warmth that remains. For this deep, in this wintry storm, the frigid downpour and the icy puddles, she lost.

But I had a different solution, a darker, more forbidden path. It was whispered in hushed tones among the mages of the realm, a taboo subject spoken only in the darkest corners of ancient libraries. They called it "Black Magic," a forbidden art that delved into the very essence of souls. The news I received spoke of a lake hidden deep within the Endless Forest, a place where thousands of monstrous creatures were lurking for centuries. Those monsters were now finally coming to attack human civilization.

*** Umbra Erida sat among the soft sponges at an oblong table carved from the bone of Naphaivel, and carefully scanned the reports from the heads of the southern and northern waters. Argalid, as always, wrote on the silvery scales of a tarpon[4]. The writing on it didn’t blur. Ereb wasn’t that lucky with writing materials, but he managed to get special ink. Stacks of reports were replenished as they were read. Despite the tiredness and itching in her tail, Erida didn’t go to bed until she resolved her unfinished business.

before leaving. She watched him leave before sitting up frumpily. She had nothing to do. If she didn't know any better, she would have said that Faceless voice had given up on them. Going to her bag, she picked out the journal of Lake Creek and settled by the window to re-read it. Upon getting to the last page, she was about to shut the book when suddenly, the page began to glow. Eleanor bolted off the chair and retreated to a distance to watch. The page glowed and slowly, she began to see scrapings of something. Looking left and right for some form of a threat, she moved closer and found... No way... There were words! It must have been written by some invisible ink or something. Invisible i

"Thank you for bringing me into the investigation." She took his hand, the brief contact sending a jolt of familiarity through her—pack recognising pack, even after all these years. "Mr. Blackwood has expertise in historical ritualistic practices," she explained to Mendoza. "Given the nature of the killings, his insight could be valuable." "So I've been told," Mendoza replied, gesturing for everyone to sit. "Your brother's credentials are impressive, but I'm more concerned with why our killer seems to have a personal interest in your family."

The water was ankle-deep by the time Savannah’s breath caught in her throat; knee-deep within moments. She caught Colton’s arm, fingers digging into the wet fabric of his sleeve. His other hand clamped around hers without question, his grip the only thing tethering her to the moment. Their steps were uneven, ragged—every movement slowed by the drag of the water. Somewhere deep beneath them, things were dying. Not people—at least not yet—but the secrets that had lived down there. Thousands of them, built into the marrow of this place. She felt their pull as she ran—like a tide of ghosts clawing for the surface, begging her to hear them before they drowned forever.

She fumbled forward, her bound hands outstretched in front of her like a blind person feeling their way through a dark room. The passageway twisted and turned, leading her deeper into the unknown. Emma's senses were on high alert, her heart pounding in her chest like a jackhammer. She stumbled forward, her bound hands grasping for support, her fingers scraping against the cold, damp walls. The air was musty and dank, filled with the scent of decay and rot. Emma's stomach churned with nausea as she navigated the dark passageway, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios.

We went to the archives, a dusty, quiet wing of the lodge filled with shelves of ledgers, maps, and the meticulously kept histories of the Eclipse pack-and the histories of our enemies. For hours, we poured over them. Accounts of border skirmishes, reports of missing patrols, treaties broken, alliances shattered. We cross-referenced dates with lunar calendars, solar charts, anything that marked the passage of the heavens. At first, it was a mess of unrelated events. A trade dispute here, a rogue incursion there. But then, I saw it. "Adrien," I breathed, my finger trembling on a date in a ledger from five years ago. "The Blackwater Pack massacre.
