And we would not fall beneath his rot. Not while the Spiral still breathed. 5: The Map of Shadows Later that evening, Kiva spread a parchment across the council table. It was faded and torn, edges burned, but the ink still held strong. It was a map older than any clan sketched by seers who had walked in visions rather than through trails. “This,” she said, “is where the prophet Varyn was last seen. Beyond the Hollowed Peaks, near the Bone Verge.” The air in the room changed.

He flipped past pages of drawings—eyes in the water, the woman beneath the roots, a city with no sky—and stopped on one he didn’t remember drawing. It was a map. Rough, incomplete—but showing a coastline with spirals marked in several locations. One near WildWood. Another near where he was now. And a third, deep offshore, circled and underlined twice. Beneath it, scrawled in red ink that wasn’t his, were the words: THE THIRD SEED WAITS. Ezra’s heart pounded. Something was coming. Something old. And somehow, he was connected to it—not just through blood, but through intention. Through story. Through fate.

Then, he unrolled a large map made of gazelle skin and spread it across the hardwood table. The map was patched up in some areas, and the color was fading from its center to its jagged edges. Thorn came forward and put a new piece of gazelle skin on the table. “Oakiyada, the Vale of Wind. Mainly inhabited by the descendants of ancient forests. Unlike the rumors, I found it singularly tranquil. They gave in when our army pressed them to the edge of the Misty Mountains, even without a fight.”

Caspian had no patience to wait for them to calm down. He had a question to ask now. He directly exchanged asked the female cultivator holding the ganoderma lucidum. "What happened to the map mentioned by the Bone-eating Monkey just now? Is there a map in this Evil Mountain Forest?" The female cultivator's eyes were still a little erratic at this time, but it could be seen that she was also trying to stabilize her mind. After taking a few deep breaths, her body didn't sway that much, and as such, she hurriedly replied to Caspian's question. "The Evil Savage rainforest occupied a vast area, and there were three cities around it.

Desert and wastelands that eventually bleed into the mountains once more to the east, but to the west lies a great, endless ocean, and the edge of the map. “Did you make this?” I ask when I reach his side. “Gods, no. This is older than me by centuries, I’m sure.” “But it’s accurate?” I look up to the far edge of the map, where Veiled Valley rests deep in the mountains, likely hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement, and the closest community to the ocean on Ryatt’s side of the border between the Roguelands and Rifthold. “It is,” he says softly, almost dreamily. He takes several steps away from the table and points to the ground at his feet. “Maatua would be… somewhere around here, I’m

They’re in a vast forest. There’s a mini-map on the upper-right hand corner along with a bunch of other interactive icons but the map only shows areas they’ve passed and the rest is still shrouded in darkness. It seems a complete map is contingent on their actual firsthand knowledge of all the terrain, which, Mrs. Lapuz admits, is kind of reasonable but at the same time counter-intuitive in real life. She also thinks the forest looks European based on the trees and bushes, which are nowhere to be found in tropical Philippines. For instance, she can see actual Christmas trees minus the lights.

Erethorn leapt over a stream, his paws barely skimming the water before he landed on the other side. The forest was alive around us, the air thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. I could feel the pulse of the land beneath us, the ancient magic that thrummed through every root and branch. It was a reminder that this wasn’t just any forest—this was Lyravha territory, sacred and untamed. Valeria’s group dropped from the trees ahead, their boots hitting the ground with barely a sound. They didn’t stop, though. Instead, they broke into a run, their movements synchronized as they wove through the underbrush.

“Our route will take us through Virethorn Glade. It's a dense and tangled place, thick with mist. Few packs venture there because of the dangerous terrain, rumors of spirits, and the wild creatures that call it home. But it provides excellent cover to bypass the Eldrath pack, which is why we will be taking that path.” Virethorn Glade. I searched my memory for anything I knew about the place. It was a dense forest with a canopy so thick that sunlight barely reached the forest floor. Some said the trees moved when no one was looking, and the creatures that lurked within were as dangerous as rogues. A cold shiver ran down my spine as I digested the information.

“Then we strike first. Seal them before she does.” Aria turned to Ysara. “Where are they?” The Rootbound matriarch didn’t speak immediately. Instead, she walked to the sacred tree and knelt, pressing her palm to the roots. Whispers flowed through the hall—soft and ancient. Then Ysara stood. “There are three known Veins,” she said solemnly. “One beneath the Daggered Range. One below the drowned city of Virellan. And one… at the edge of the world. Beyond the Shardlands.”

A few minutes later, a map filled the screen, and the coordinates had placed five red dots on the screen, locations. One in Lewe, one in Batsia, a third in Mir, and the other territories that were not ruled by anyone. Mir was home to one of my packs, Green Field, and two of my cities, Avon Wilts and Myrtle Cove. The fourth dot was below Lonely City, right where the Bear kingdom territory met the wolf kingdom territory. The fifth red dot was located on the realms' second continent, in a kingdom called Andora. Kellen’s phone dinged from his pocket and he pulled it out to see who had messaged him, at the same time I heard another ding from Mathias. Without letting go, he pulled his phone out.
