“You ran up ahead.” “I thought I saw a ferret.” “They’re mongooses. Mongeese? They were brought here to help control the rat population but took over.” “Well, they’re cute. I want one.” “I think they’re mean.” “They just want love.” Quinn puts her phone back in her bag and holds out her hand. I take it, lacing our fingers and pulling her in for a kiss. We’re hiking today, on our way to see a waterfall. It’s hotter today, and the comfortable breeze is gone now that we’re in the thick of the woods. Still, being here with the love of my life is good for my soul. I didn’t know how much I needed this until we got here.

He said. Iero’s face turned serious. He naturally could guess what Hierro means. That is, their time is about to end, as soon as the rain ends. The witch will definitely return to the peak of her powers. By then, they could only wait to be slaughtered by her. “So, Reyan went to the West Kingdom to the extent of his remaining power…” Hierro continued as he clenched his fists. “We have to formulate a plan that could end the witch once and for all.” He said and took a deep breath. “But, of course, not at the expense of anyone’s life… if that is possible.” He said.

Ezra, excitement evident in his voice, said, "The Dreamweaver! An ancient realm where the past, present, and potential futures entwine. It's risky, but it might provide the clarity we need." Elysia, determination lighting up her eyes, declared, "Then let's journey there. I need to understand my role, confront these prophecies, and ensure the safety of our realms." As the guardians prepared for their venture into the Dreamweaver, the weight of their quest was palpable. Uncharted territories, cosmic riddles, and the intricate dance of destiny awaited them, ready to reveal secrets that could either fortify or fracture their bond.

I cautiously walked ahead, worried I would fall off a cliff or something. “What’s your wish Empress?” A voice hissed in my ear. “Who’s there?” I questioned. “Tell me your wish.” I saw a dark figure in the fog. “Who are you?” “I am the Wishmaster. Tell me your wish, Empress.” “I um...I don’t have one. I’m good.” I stated. “Are you sure? Not one wish? Don’t you want Beta Penn to love you?” The figure asked.

I stand from the chair abandoning the whiskey, “text me the info to the number you called me on and give me until the end of next week.” “The end of the week? It’s Saturday.” Enzo guffaws. “Yes, at the end of next week, much like bringing life into the world, taking life is a tedious process.” I walk out of the room, giving them no chance to ask extra questions or shoot the shit with me.

My eyes flicked to the clock on the wall as the hands slowly ticked forward, but there was no sign of him returning. The wound burned even though it was the middle of winter. I was sweating from the pain, my body betraying me. Desperate, I reached for my phone, but as soon as I unlocked it, a notification popped up, showing me a new post from Grace. [Stargazing with the Big Guy,] it read, with a picture of them both camping on a mountainside. I let out a bitter laugh.
