An answer I knew not. ******** 6 pm and the sun had begun its descent, casting its gold hue in the sky. I couldn't find the beauty in it like I did every other day. The scent of decayed plants traced the air reminding me I might end up like them—dead. The Eight elders and a few members of the parliament encircled me, but giving enough space for the impending battle. Troy settled across from the Elders. “Dhinatos!” Their chants echoed, honoring Lydia as she strutted to the middle of the circle.

There were no words. No explanations. Only determination burned between them all. The true war was just about to begin. And under a sky that was beginning to split by flashes of lightning, Andhara whispered low, barely audible, "This is just the beginning..."

“Aperi ianuam vita est vita. Thy power, thy my path, thy will my desire.” The winds started to howl, and the door opened with the loud bang and before I could even blink, the boy I assumed dead opened his eyes and stared dead in our eyes.

Suddenly, a low, guttural roar echoed through the forest, followed by the sound of marching feet and the clinking of armor. The enemy had arrived, and their numbers were staggering. Dark figures emerged from the trees, a sea of destroyers advancing towards the stronghold. “All hands on deck!” Alex shouted, her voice carrying over the din. “Prepare to defend!” The first wave of attackers crashed against the outer walls, a chaotic melee of snarling werewolves and armored warriors. The clash of steel and the cries of battle filled the air as the Gaia clan fought back with fierce determination.

ROMAN _____ Sounds of war horns pierced the early morning air. My heart slammed against my chest as I sprinted to the fortress walls, watching in horror as Cassandra's army emerged from the treeline like a dark tide . "EVERYONE TO THEIR POSITIONS!!"

My eyes scanned desperately for Belle, finding her directing people toward the infirmary.

"For the North!" they roared back, a thousand voices rising as one. With that, the battle began. Evander was the first to move.

But beneath the cold expression, he seemed to recognize her.

​At their center stood Beta Marcus and Alaric. ​"For the North!" Marcus roared, drawing his broadsword. ​The Trojan Horse had opened. The slaughter had begun.
