Thick and ancient, the trees of the Dark Forest stood like giants of war—gnarled limbs twisted toward the sky, bark blackened by time and scarred with forgotten runes. The air hung heavy, humid with old enchantments and layered spells that didn’t belong to any magic I knew. Every breath felt like inhaling a secret.

After all, Ned could only trust this man at the moment. Surveying his surroundings, Ned saw that the forest was dark and gloomy, without a single ray of light. The leaves on the trees were covered with sharp hooks that could pierce anyone who touched them. Ned realized that this was the Dark Forest described in the book. This was the territory of the Dark Elves, who possessed the power of darkness and used it to oppose the light. The man noticed Ned's expression and knew exactly what he was thinking.

Lots of other rustling sounds could be heard from other parts of the forest, after all, the other night animals were also going out in search of food. I took a deep breath, drawing the crisp night air into my lungs. The night magic of nature around was not much weaker than during the day, therefore I also absorbed it with every cell in my body. I felt lighter immediately, as if all the problems that had been tormenting me a few minutes ago suddenly disappeared. I was not afraid of the dark or anything that could be lurking in it, after all, I was a sorceress, able to defend myself in case of need. Besides, I could not feel any dark energy anywhere, so I was able to freely enjoy the fresh air

Jake and Tomiwa quickly huddled and stood by Annabelle and Tisha while they held their weapons in alert. “SHOW YOURSELF!!” Tisha cried out in anger as she glanced around. For a while nothing could be heard.Then all of a sudden, 8 pairs of red eyes glowed in the darkness surrounding the four people. Tomiwa shrieked in fright as she saw the eyes and stayed close to Jake who was trying to compose him self.

I went completely still when I realized something. How the fuck can I see everything so well? In such darkness, I could even read the small signs under the on and off buttons written on the side of the torch. This is surreal. I shouldn’t be able to see anything in this forest. The dark forest was known to be the darkest at night. Not even the night creatures could venture through it and not get lost or in danger from hunters at night. I tilted my head up at the full moon from down here. It was so clear that I almost felt as though I was watching it from the balcony of the pack house.

Louis said. From the way he spoke, I knew immediately that he just wanted to create fear. “Come on, we're beasts, not even monsters can defeat us,” I said, crossing my arms arrogantly. At that, Nathan sat down next to me and smiled mockingly. “Honey, the Dark Forest wasn't just trees and nocturnal animals. All the evil of darkness hides in that place. Everything there is different from how you see it. Even if you go into the wrong places, you may never come back,” he said.

She couldn’t afford to be caught off guard, not with her children so vulnerable in these woods. As they pressed on, the mist seemed to thicken, and the path grew narrower. The trees loomed overhead, their gnarled branches almost blocking out the light completely. Aveline tightened her grip on her son’s hand, feeling the subtle pulse of magic in the air. The Dark Forest was alive in a way that no other place was—a place bound by old power and ancient laws. A soft cry broke the silence, and Aveline’s heart leapt into her throat.

This time, I didn’t flinch. The book flared in my hands. Light, bright and white, erupted from it, washing over the forest floor. The shadows were erratic as if it as in pain, if that was even possible. It was twisting and writhing, trying to retreat.

And then—silence.
