But the next second, the steward stepped out from the shadows and blocked the door completely. Adrian threw his head back and laughed. "How naive you are. Did you think it was a coincidence that you walked through the princess's residence so smoothly and found me here? I've moved through this place like a fish in water. Did it never occur to you that I had help in the shadows? "Today, Gideon Frost and that annoying little thing are dead. Now you've thrown yourselves into my net. How perfect." Adrian bared his teeth and thrust forward. There was no trace of his usual weakness.

The bond still burned through Althea’s chest, stretched thin across something vast and hostile, pulled so tight it hummed. Umbra braced against her leg when her knees buckled, his weight immovable, his presence the only thing in the clearing that did not retreat from her. The forest already had. Trees leaned away as if her shadow carried consequences. Leaves hung suspended, unwilling to fall. Even the light came through cautiously fractured, as though it had learned the cost of touching her without permission.

"My lord... shall we begin the final phase?" James smiled. "Yes." "Prepare the ritual." "The Sky Kingdom is about to return." And for the first time in a thousand years... The stars began to disappear from the night sky. Emilia's POV The stars continued to disappear. One by one, the brilliant lights faded from the night sky until only the moon remained, hanging above the Whispering Forest like a silent witness. Everyone stared upward. No one dared to speak. "What is happening?" Liam whispered. The Sword of Eclipse vibrated in my hands, releasing waves of silver and black energy that rippled across the clearing.

“Before the forest shifts.” Killian frowned. “Shifts?” “It’s not just a forest anymore,” she said softly. “The old woman called it the Waiting Ground. It changes each night. And each change means less time for her.” A cold wind stirred the flames. I looked up. The sky had begun to darken again, clouds gathering fast, too fast. They rolled over the moon like a bruise spreading across the heavens. Killian followed my gaze. “That doesn’t look right.” “No,” Raven whispered. “It doesn’t.”

he said without turning back. His figure slowly disappeared into the distance, leaving her behind. "Goodbye, Allen," Serene whispered to herself. And with that, the chapter of their story was finally closed.

The stars vanished. One by one. Across the entire universe. Not exploding. Not collapsing. Simply disappearing. As though an unseen hand was plucking them from existence. The City of Lost Possibilities fell silent. Everyone looked upward. The night sky had once been filled with countless lights. Now entire sections were empty. Dark. Wrong. The absence felt unnatural. Nova watched another star disappear. Then another. Then ten more. A chill crawled through her body. Because she could feel it. Whatever was happening wasn't destruction.

Author's POV: The moonlit forest lay shrouded in an ethereal glow, a celestial tapestry woven with silver threads. Each tree stood sentinel, their gnarled branches reaching skyward, casting enchanting shadows that danced in the moonlight. The air, thick with the fragrance of ancient pine, held a hushed symphony of whispers, as if the very heartbeats of the woods were conspiring in a mysterious harmony.

We are near the mountain boundary of Mirasaen and Velidia. I’ll be using the Vanire more or less four times to conserve my energy. The Winter Region is a bit far if you are going to travel by horse. Maybe it will take you a week.” “That far?” His eyes broadened. He must learn how to use the transportation magic so that traveling in this world would be handy.
