Now, I was determined to finish it. I needed to capture every detail, to understand what I had seen in the woods. I focused on the details I hadn't finished before. The powerful claws at the end of its massive paws, each one sharp and curved. The way the fur bristled around its shoulders, making it look even bigger and more intimidating. I shaded the thick fur, trying to recreate the way the moonlight had made it seem almost black. The red glow of its eyes was still the most striking feature, and I carefully used my colored pencils to capture that intense, burning gaze.

In his mind, he began to repaint the scene with memory and imagination, layering warmth over the cold reality before him. He envisioned lush rows of deep red roses, their petals heavy with morning dew and fragrant in warm summer breezes that carried the promise of long, golden days. Fresh-cut grass soft beneath bare feet, emerald and welcoming under a benevolent spring sun. Songbirds perching on stone edges, their melodies weaving through the air like silk ribbons. Bushes blooming in soft whites and delicate pinks, their perfume so thick you could taste it. Bees hovering lazily in the drowsy air, drunk on nectar. The gentle buzz and hum of life rising from every shaded corner, every sun-dapp

Her plump chest rose and fell in a messy rhythm, while cold sweat visibly drenched her forehead and her slender neck, which still bore the genuine, purplish bruises left by Tristan this afternoon. Vivienne touched her fast-thumping chest, then glanced briefly toward the bedroom window, which was beginning to display a sliver of reddish dawn light. Recalling the details of the wild and crazy dream she had just experienced, a thin, intrigue-filled smile carved itself once more onto the contours of her plump lips, which still appeared swollen. "A pleasant yet disgusting dream!"

And it was the loneliest feeling in the world. --- ### The Shadow in the Green We walked together through the new forest. It was everything we had ever dreamed of. The air was perfect. The water was clear. The people were free. But as the sun began to set, casting long, golden shadows through the trees, I saw something that stopped me cold. On the trunk of a massive oak tree, the bark was beginning to turn **Violet**. It wasn't the violet of the Origin. It was a dark, bruised color. And as I watched, a single drop of black sap dripped from a branch, landing on a white flower. The flower withered instantly, turning into a pile of gray ash.

He doesn't say he forgives me, and he doesn't tell me I'm wrong. Instead, he stretches his arm out, pointing toward the horizon. "Look at the sun, Sydney," he says. "Look at the way the core of the sun is turning into a deep, burning crimson right before it touches the water. The clouds directly above it are splitting open, bleeding out into these long, brilliant streaks of lavender and burnt gold, painting the entire surface of the ocean like a canvas. The water is catching the light, turning the foam on the waves into pure silver as they roll into the shore." His descriptions are so incredibly detailed, so cinematic and beautiful, that it feels like he’s painting a physical picture right b

Perhaps it was because she was a witch that her skin felt so remarkably different from mine. I must be overthinking it; otherwise, I can't explain why my face suddenly turned red. "Smile, will you? I love the way you look when you smile," she said, tiptoeing to meet my gaze. Her hand shaped my facial muscles into a rather peculiar smile. Vivian's innocent face enlarged in my field of vision. Her green eyes resembled the color of a vibrant, melting forest, exuding extraordinary beauty. Damn it, don't get so close to me! I couldn't help but hold my breath, and I could already hear my wolf breathing in excitement.

Here, the line between the conscious and the subconscious became almost imperceptible. In this realm, the colors seemed more vibrant, the sounds more resonant. A vast meadow unfurled before them, each blade of grass seemingly imbued with life, glistening with dewdrops that sparkled like a million diamonds. Wildflowers, a riot of colors, danced gracefully to the lullaby of the gentle zephyrs, their fragrances intoxicating and heady. The symphony of the night, composed of the soft hum of insects and the distant hoot of an owl, added depth to this dreamscape, making it feel alive and pulsating.

And the deep, ancient gravity of balance. My veins glow silver. My bones hum like tuning forks. My soul expands, deeper and wider than the sky. And then… The dead forest around me… changes. A wind sweeps through the skeletal branches, carrying warmth that smells of dawn. Color blooms across the trees like spilled paint: Greens. Golds. Lavenders. Blues. Leaves unfurl. Flowers burst open. Vines curl and climb. The ground erupts with blooming life, soft grass, glowing moss, and streams of shimmering water threading through the earth.

My exhaustion was total but my sleep wasn’t peaceful at all. My dreams became more vivid and strange, completely overwhelming my thoughts. They weren’t just vague feelings of cold or fear. They were full of bright light, colors, and sound. I found myself standing in the same place I always dreamed of. It was a vast, open field, the ground was covered in thick white mist swirling around my bare feet. There were no trees or buildings. The only thing in the sky was a huge full moon, the moonlight was a bright silver and painfully bright. It hurt my eyes, and I had to squint.

POV DARLENE The violet sun hung heavy over the city of glass, casting long, bruised shadows that seemed to pulse with a life of their own. As I stood in the lush meadow of the past, the scent of blooming fire-lilies and ozone filled my lungs, a sensory overload that made my head swim. Beside me, Eryx was a pillar of tension, his fingers digging into the hilt of his sword, which now hummed with a violet resonance that matched the sky.
