Zen’s POV “You’re fucking kidding with this right? A real to god WEREWOLF,” I yelled out to Whisper as she ignored me pacing in front of me, speaking to no one with her hands flying up in the air. I watched her stop and look at the swirling air in front of her and a hand appeared grabbing her and she was gone. I moved towards it, but it vanished and a low baritone voice spoke from behind me, “who are you?”

Her voice had a sharp edge to it, like she wasn’t quite buying the act. Grossman’s smile twisted into something darker. “Climbing, yes. I’ve been practicing. The mountains here have stories—climbers buried under avalanches, their bodies calling me like moths to a flame.” Leila’s eyebrow shot up. “Dead?” she exclaimed without realizing it.

The Whispering Peaks got their name for a reason. The stones here remember every death, every promise broken. They echo it back to those who can hear.” Aaron snorted. “Fantastic. So we’re hiking through a graveyard with opinions.” Sylra ignored him. “Keep your minds guarded. These mountains feed on fear.”

The narrow pathway in front of us is surrounded by tall, old brick buildings. It’s called the Whispering Alley, and even in the fading light, there’s a different energy here. Quiet, almost secretive. After a few steps in, I halt, tilting my head. There they are, soft murmurs, like leaves rustling or water trickling. But if you listen closely, it’s more rhythmic, more intentional, like hushed conversations.
