Elyra gasped. Astera was weakening. Not someday. Now. Then the First Guardian took a slow step toward Elyra and Zevarion. Her eyes were gentle. But filled with urgency. "There are only two paths left." The city fell silent. Even the whispers stopped. Astera raised one glowing hand. Two beams of light appeared before them. One silver. One crimson. The silver path shimmered with warmth. Hope. Sacrifice. The crimson path pulsed with immense power. Temptation.

He said, trying to walk away. "One more thing."Alex said, driving himself towards him. "Do it in secret,I don't want my uncle finding out about this secret of ours else you won't live to see the next Christmas."He threatened. "I understand.. sir."He stuttered before walking away. Finally he got the woman he had been searching for, that is the best news he had heard since his parents death. The door opened almost immediately revealing a man in his fifties accompanied by a young man who was almost the same age as Alex.

“Do you have something else for me to believe in?” ​“Woo Jin is not that smart to do that,” she countered, stepping further into the room. “Don’t you think someone else was involved?” ​“We both know who else could be involved.” Adrian stood up, shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked toward her. “Woo Jin, Dubois, and Dawson are the three major people after my life. Who do you think could be involved again, Carolina?” He stopped directly in front of her, his presence looming.

I pleaded with him with the dry tears on my face. “Yes. I know him. I can do that. Take me there. I can’t walk.” Alex and I pulled him up with his arms on our shoulders. “We should search that secret passage,” Alex suggested when Malcolm was working to save Chris. I nodded in difficulty. The room is big enough to live in. But it’s occupied by a machine. That’s the time machine. I never saw it in real. It seems far more difficult with many buttons, small and more complicated kinds of stuff. A flat square-shaped metal with three seats.

“Let it be what it is.” In that space, tangled together, teasing, laughing softly, pressing close, brushing fingertips along skin, Imani felt it—the delicate balance of desire, jealousy, love, and intimacy, mingling, stretching through them. She had never felt more alive. The night moved slowly, deliberately, each movement a small, thrilling pulse of connection, building a rhythm that was playful and intense, tender and daring.

To leave a trail they had to follow. I took off again—this time toward the aqueduct bridge that loomed over the river basin. From this point, one path would lead them straight west, away from the tunnels Alessia was headed toward. Come find me. Come waste your energy chasing a ghost while she’s right behind you. A crossbow bolt skimmed my shoulder, sparking hot pain but I didn’t let it slow me down. The bridge arched in front of me like a spine spanning the ravine. Narrow and perfect.

How could he just say beautiful things that was good at making my head spin and my internal organs were vibrating and dancing to the melody of his words. "Hello." He waved and glanced at me then directed his gaze back to the road. "For your total information, I don't know the way to your home." He cleared his throat. "I was thinking of going towards the place that I had first met you since you aren't directing me."

"I can cast a spell on the trees to move and make them Los their way and lead them to the entrance where we would prepare our army." "Sounds good." Alpha Dion agreed while the other two were only looking at the table, one tried to touch the images. "And how will we know that they trace the way we want them to trace?" I placed my pointing finger in the center and draw a star. I lighted up again and the images started moving as what was happening in the forest, the trees started rearranging their position and created one accessible way from North. "We can watch them hear before they could get in our territory." Alpha Dion nodded.

Waking up today wasn’t my intention. I had a long day ahead of me and of course, I’m always the one who has to work hard.
