And for the first time— It reacted violently. The air around it twisted. The darkness flickered. Like it was unstable. Emily pushed forward. The stone wall cracked— Then surged outward. The shadow broke apart. Not gone. But scattered. Like smoke caught in a strong wind. The pieces pulled back toward the crack in the ground.

The band's instruments died mid-note. Conversations cut off mid-sentence. Laughter evaporated into shocked silence. Every head in the room turned toward her. For a long moment, nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Nobody even seemed to breathe. They all just stared at her like she was a ghost. Like she was something impossible. Something that shouldn't exist.

Stopped. She stood there. Small. Fragile-looking. One girl against three hundred. Then she showed them what she really was. The shadows poured out of her. Not controlled. Not directed. Just pure power responding to pure need. They spread across the territory like a living wall. Blocked the borders. Stopped the advance cold. Wolves tried to push through. The shadows grabbed them. Lifted them. Threw them back. Marcus appeared at the eastern border. Saw what she was doing. Saw the wall of darkness protecting Blackwater.

"Then, he approached the wall step by step." "As he walked closer, he found that the colour of this wall was not the same as the surrounding ones. After all, the walls looked similar, but he found that it had been pained in a different shade after he observed it closely."

The shadow witch was out there throwing bolts of power at the gate to the mansion. "What the hell is this?" I asked Angelo.

“You’re going to get everyone killed.” The woman’s eyes flashed, and in that instant, the very ground beneath us began to shift. The walls of the ruins seemed to bend, as though the place itself was reacting to her words.
