Novel & Cerita Trial Of The Grasses

Lorna, our ever-vigilant companion, closed the door behind us, its closing sound reduced to a mere whisper. Descending onto the ground, we felt the coolness of the thick, lush grass beneath our hands and knees as we started our stealthy advance. The tall blades of grass towered above us, swaying in the wind, their rustling creating a symphony of hushed whispers. We navigated our way through this natural obstacle course, inching closer to the forest’s edge. Our senses heightened with anticipation.

“No matter what happens, I’m here.” His words anchored me, and for the first time in hours, the tension in my chest eased. *** When I opened my eyes again, dusk had fallen. The air outside the tent buzzed with anticipation as the second trial loomed. The council gathered at the edge of the field, their imposing figures silhouetted against the fading sunlight. “The second trial,” one of them announced, “is the Trial of Pain. Valkyrie, step forward.” Ragnor’s hand brushed mine briefly before I stepped away, the weight of his gaze steady on my back.

Then shot me a look full of fire. "No rush, huh? So you take it out on someone who did nothing?" He turned and left with Sofia. Right before getting in, he looked back—ice-cold. "If your dead parents saw what you've turned into, they'd be ashamed." The words lodged in my throat. I swallowed them whole. I just stood there, the dust from their car clouding everything. Then my phone buzzed. [Ms. Mortoro, your second enhanced brain CT results are in. The prognosis isn't good. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible.]

“Both.” She crossed the space, brushing a hand against Lyra’s cheek, her thumb pausing at the edge of the bandage. Daisy’s wolf rippled beneath her skin—protective, fierce—but she said nothing. She didn’t scold. Lyra had made her choice, and Daisy respected it. Troy leaned forward, elbows on his knees. “The Trial was only the first step. Don’t fool yourselves. Tonight was a stage, not a victory. Every rival clan was watching. They wanted to see cracks. They’ll keep testing until they find them.”

They called the first trial an environment test, but it was an obvious cull designed to trim most of the participants down to the fittest wolves. That or they wanted to be rid of the women who had come from other packs. Either way, Cassy couldn’t help but wonder why they were attempting to chop the numbers so quickly. Alpha Jason said less than half would likely continue on after the trial, expediting the whole process. A Luna Trial would usually take at least a month, dragged out with parties and visits from other packs, but by the sounds of it, he wanted a Luna at his side within the week.

I wanted to get even. As I finally get the courage that I needed, I stood up, holding a drink and the USB where the photos of Claire and Gabriel kissing is currently at. Thankfully, the program was finally quiet and people are just eating their dinner. This is my chance. I shouldn’t blew this once in a lifetime opportunity. I reached the man in front of the computer. I gave him the USB, telling that I have some surprise for everyone and I will pay him twice as how much he will profit tonight. Gladly, he accepted it. That’s how easy it went. People can be driven by money.

"Present what you've gathered for inspection." This was it. The moment of truth. I reached into my pack and pulled out my cloth-wrapped specimens. As I unwrapped them, laying out the Moonshade Root, the Silverthorne Vine, and finally the purple-black moss instead of Crimson Moss, the courtyard exploded in whispers. "That's not Crimson Moss!" "She's missing a required herb!" "She failed to follow instructions!" The Master of Ceremonies stared at my collection, his eyebrows rising. "Miss Rashford, the trial specifically required Crimson Moss. This plant is..."

Thirteen hunches beside me, clenching her ribs as she sniffles. "Hey," I whisper to her. "Look at the grass." She shakes her head. "I don't care for grass." "You haven't seen grass like this." At the Unfortunate camp, the grass is a pale green and only exists in random patches of spiky blades. Out here, it's a vast wonderland of beautiful, soft greenery. "If you just look up a little, you'll see—"

I stepped forward, chin high, voice steady. “Then I’ll pass all three.” I felt Kade’s pride from across the circle, like a flame rising behind me. Because love might’ve brought us here. But I would earn my place with fire. The first trial was not what I expected. Just a stone table deep in the woods, without any weapons or fighting. surrounded by elders and ancient runes carved into the trunks of old pine trees. The air was heavy with something older than language, magic, maybe. Or memory.
