Now I know what you're thinking, *what's so important about that?* Well, I didn't think much of it until I saw this." The image changed, this time to footage from one of the tracker's bodycam. Just as Johnny had described, the ground looked uneven and the trees were knotted together like string. There was a blanket of snow on everything that hid the dangers of holes or exposed roots. But amongst it all was a narrow trail leading into the part of the knot of trees that seemed the easiest to pass. The owner of the footage followed the trail,

"You're welcome to come help us track, of course. It could be your first warrior experience. Although, probably best you don't come to the torture portion." "What happens during a torture?" I mindlinked him. I heard a noise behind me and turned to see that some warriors were approaching. He looked at them and then turned back to me, mindlinking me, "I get to practice my butchering skills on live mammals, with very sharp knives." I shivered. I'd never seen him look so evil before, it was almost frightening. One thing was clear—Blake Wulfric was not someone you'd ever want to cross.

Henry made his voice heard. And we all burst out laughing. -Crack As our attention switched, we heard the sound of dead leaves being trodden on. "Grr.." "Graargh!" "Aguarg!"

It was time to train in the sword.

Luna and Phillip set out to discover the talisman, excited by the news. They came into a gang of trolls blocking their route as they traveled through the difficult mountain passes. The trolls were notorious for their hot tempers and love of combat, and they attacked Phillip and Luna without warning. The struggle was long and arduous, but Luna and Phillip triumphed, their wounds gradually mending as they resumed their trip.

I watched her enter the house before turning away. Eclipse Lounge was louder than expected. I weaved my way through the crowd and went to the counter. I felt someone tap me “ You're the new kid” I nodded, not comfortable with the word kid. “I'm Gregg, the owner of the place” he handed me a black button-up shirt.”Wear this” “Where do I change?” “The locker room” I blinked at him “Oh, you're new here.” He pointed towards the back. “Once you reach the back, keep moving forward. You'll see a locker room sign.”

she laughed out loud earning confused looks from some of the trolls nearby. "We'll talk about that when this is over dear brother." With that they aimed their weapons on all those rock like creatures relentlessly coming at them from all directions.

They've been fighting this war for years which made the elves more experienced and slick when it came to a battle like this. The giant trolls in the west side were quick to realize that they were losing a great number from their army.

With a calculated strike, he aimed for the creature's exposed ankle, his blade finding its mark. The troll bellowed in agony, momentarily staggering backward. Seizing the opportunity, Robin swiftly shot an arrow, his aim true as it embedded itself in the troll's shoulder. The creature roared in pain, momentarily distracted from the chaos unfolding around it. The group pressed on, exploiting the momentary advantage.

A growl echoes from somewhere ahead, low and rough, followed by another… and another. Then, chaos. Black-eyed wolves burst from the fog, dozens of them, snarling, lunging straight for the front. Behind them, huge trolls crash through the trees, wielding jagged clubs. The ground shakes under their weight. “Hold formation!” I shout, throwing up a wall of air that sends a group of wolves tumbling backward. Elven arrows zip past my shoulders, hitting the beasts mid-leap. One troll charges toward a cluster of sirens, swinging wildly. Without thinking, I extend my hand, water from the nearby stream surges upward in a sharp, coiling strike. It crashes into the troll, freezing instantly in shards of
